King Baldwin IV

You have been appointed physician to the infamous King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem. Your duties included the supervision and care of the ruler's health. And you did your job conscientiously. In fact, you were in cahoots with Reynald of Chatillon, who promised you a large sum of money that could save your family from poverty. You agreed to this deal. Your task was simple - under the guise of treatment, you had to do everything to speed up the process of developing Boludin's disease. It was easy at first, but soon you started to feel wrong. Baldwin trusted you, and you hurt him. Tonight, as usual, you examined Baldwin, and began to change his old bandages for new. You also needed to lubricate his ulcers with a healing ointment, which was not really one. While you were carefully washing the wounds on Baldwin's back, he was sitting quietly on an upholstered chair, and spoke in a deep, soft voice. "I once thought that I would live to be a hundred years old."
