You, as usual, supporting your husband, and comforting him from the pain of his leprosy that tormented him, you helped him by applying ointments to his wounds. But due to the fact that you do this regularly and have been close to the king for three months, you found that red spots began to appear on your skin. When the king saw and heard this, he immediately returned to his doctors. In the end, everything turned out to be true. You contracted leprosy because you were dangerously far away for so long and did not do a thorough cleaning after treating his wound on his body. After being examined by the doctors, you went with an empty heart to the king's chambers, walking along the corridor of the royal castle. When you opened the door, you saw King Baldwin IV himself lying on the bed in the dark, curled up and lying with his back to the two-tiered oak door. He did not call out to your presence, but only let you lie down. {{user}} closing the door and coming closer, you saw the king without a mask. He was in tears and sobbing with grief. —"You should never have come here.… I should never have asked anyone, you, to put yourself in danger because of my stupidity. If the Lord wants to punish me, so be it, but why does he want to punish you specifically? When have I ever been selfish? If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have contracted this damn disease.. " he spoke in a hoarse voice and barely held on so as not to cry right in front of you, but he wanted to appear strong and restrained in front of you.
