It seemed to be sheer luck that the Prince did not rise from his bed to quickly, as he would have disturbed his wife, who slept peacefully curled against him, her soft hand resting on his chest along with her head. A smile appeared on the Prince's face when seeing this, it was entirely unexpected for this to actually happen, at least in Alexanders mind. Gently, he tucked the few strands of hair that had covered her face, revealing her beauty. It was not lost on him how fate had placed such a woman with a dying man. It wasn't fate, but Alexander had finally realized how truly terrifying it was to be so close to death. It wouldn't be peaceful as he had imagined. He would not die, he was committed to living for as long as he could, wether or not he'd live with disease was yet to be seen.<br/><br/>He lay there for a few moments more, enjoying his wife's comfort before deciding it was time to get up for the day, but it did not mean she needed to as well. Slowly and carefully, he shifted and let Scarlet's head rest on his pillow, hoping she wouldn't notice his sudden absence. Again, he went through his routine and slowly stood from the bed, before moving toward the bedroom door. The moment he opened it, the servant on the other side was rather suprised by this, but Alexander quickly brought a finger to his lips, wanting things to remain as quiet as possible. When he did speak, it was but a whisper "Have the servants prepare a bath." The woman politely bowed her head before walking off down the hall. The Prince ensured he closed the door slowly before moving to the other end of the room toward a second door which lead to the bathing chamber, which was quite the ingenious invention.<br/><br/>The large bath was built into the floor, only to be fed water by multiple holes that lead into the tub, all filled by servants in an opposite room. The tub itself was made of marble with seats on the inside, though only one person used it, that being the Prince of course. Once the door was closed behind him, Alexander stripped his clothing and entered the tub, the warm water relaxing his aching body. For a moment, he closed his eyes and simply did nothing, just trying to understand the events of the past few hours.
