Well it seems like he's trying to escape, so being injured isn't all that surprising. This also seems a bit different from the summary description, instead of her capturing and subjugating him and his country it was a rival power and it seems that now he'll try to turn to her for support against them. Makes the relationship a bit more stable now that it doesn't seem as though they started out as enemies in any event, so looking forward to seeing where it goes 😀
