The physician came when a knock sounded at her door. Immediately upon hearing the polite knock, Sam sprang to his feet and went over to open the door.
"Thank you for coming here on such short notice," he told the physician after ushering him inside Kiera's room, an older gentleman wearing silver-rimmed glasses carrying a bag of his tools.
"I'm at your service, Your Majesty." The physician bowed his head. Kiera watched this exchange, realizing by the way he addressed him that the physician's loyalty was to Sam and not his father.
"Please, come this way." Sam gestured for the physician to enter further into the room. "She's right here." His eyes landed on her as he escorted the physician right to the bed.
"You don't need to crowd her." The physician waved for Sam to give him some space to work. Although Sam opened his mouth to protest he glanced over to Kiera and did as the physician said.
