"The Emperor? Maybe you are right. This person was much like him" I said, shyly.
"You have come to know him with in a short time. I pray that you two never face any dangerous in your life again" Anne said, as she shut her eyes and clapped her hands together.
I smiled and got up from the stairs. The swollen legs were so painful, that I had no choice than to call Anne to help me walk to the shower. There I sat on a wooden stool, she provided for me and I took my bath like an old woman whose back was broken.
After having my bath, I dressed up and told Anne to invite the women who came to see me. As usual, they brought a lot of gifts and fruits. If there was something special about Akkad was the amount of the gift they gave out to one who was sick. Even in the village hospital, the sick patients got good medical care and food, drugs and water which was donated by the rich. Maybe that why this Empire flourish for so long.
