Jasper's POV
The healer had instructed me to remain in bed for a few days. Despite my aching head, eyes, and jaw, I had a bright smile on my face. "Get me the right woman, healer-and I'll stay in bed all day."
"I want you to rest," the healer said, unamused. "You took Jake's serious pistol. blow to your skull, young man, you need all the rest in the world."
I decided one day in bed couldn't hurt, even without a woman, not that I was serious about that either. The next day I felt fine, with only a slight headache that came and went. my left eye was completely closed, however, mostly black and a bit blue. It was a horrible sight. I knew the next time I'd meet with the king I would be so prepared and maybe, just maybe he'd be the one in the position.
For now, I had better plans of fixing
