Several days had passed while Rielen was under the induced sleep Karla kept her under. The bags under her eyes were gradually fading and her overall color began returning to a healthy glow again. Eon spent hours by her side making sure he would be there if she were to wake up again.
The thought of her face in distress would often haunt his dreams and he would wake up and watch over her at night. Improvements in the city could be seen as they now focused on fortification rather than recovery. Fortunately the surrounding farms and areas that supplied the capital remained intact.
Eon had assembled a taskforce to handle everything. He delegated everything to them so that he could focus on Rielen. If any of them would complain he would argue that ensuring the Queen's safety was his most important duty, but no one dared question him.
