Kate waved her hand over the lock; the lock falls to the floor and the cage opens. She and rushed toward him and held him by the waist. "Take it easy. I will get you out. Come with me and I will take you to my home. There you will have a soft bed and hot meal. It is good you are a magic user too."<br/><br/>Kate leads him out of the cage and sets him on a bail of hay. "Rest a moment and when you are ready will walk to the carriage. What is your name?"<br/><br/>Kate takes out a cloth and holds it to his nose and he feels the warmth of her mana on his nose and slowly penetrate his body. Kate looks with a concerned expression.<br/><br/>Walking up is a man over 50 years old, his hair graying and he is dressed in a footman's uniform. "Lady Katherine, is the Lad ready?"<br/><br/>Kate looks at her father's driver, "Not just yet.Peel, will you arrange for him to take a bath and get warm clothes please?"<br/><br/><br/>The man bows to her, "Yes, M'lady."<br/><br/>Kate softly touches the fighter jaw and examines his eyes. She winces seeing his face bruised and his eyes swollen and blackened. "What did you do to unleash Malora's wrath? Anything broken?" Kate removed her cloak and places it over his shoulders. It was then that Kate noticed his back was marred by lash and chains. She gasps.
