On one gloomy day, you could hear the screams of a young lady, or well, the young empress.
She was giving birth to the sole heir of the obelia empire.
"AAAAAAA"
A horrific scream was heard, which made the loud and thundering night even more scary.
"LET GO OF ME FELIX."
Screamed the emperor of obelia Claude De Alger Obelia.
"I can't. I'm sor-"
"WAAAA"
The cries of a baby were heard, then a yell
"OH MY, ONE MORE PUSH YOUR MAJESTY"
Yelled one of the midwives
Not too long later, the cries of another baby were heard, and like a miracle, the sky cleared, showing beautiful and bright sunny skies.
The door creaked open, showing an old yet still very beautiful lady
"You may come in now, my emperor."
She spoke in a gentle tone that only elderly ladies can use.
surprise or not, he nodded and rushed into the room to the side of his dearest beloved.
"Rubia, my dearest love, are you okay?"
Claude asked, glancing her over.
"Claude..."
She spoke gently but was still slightly out of breath as she lay still
"Yes, is everything alright, no pain, headaches?"
He asked quickly, worried for his beloved wife
"I'm fine, love. I just want to hold my precious babies,"
She spoke longing to hold her newly born children within her grasp
Not a moment later, a young lady came walking in with two babies wrapped in two separate blankets.
"Your highnesses here are your babies, a lovely boy and a lovely girl." The young lady spoke, handing the babies to the emperor and soon was dismissed, leaving the new family of four alone
"Agh," she grunted as she sat up
"Please be careful, my love," Claude spoke, scared she'll get hurt
"I'm fine now give me my babies already," she spoke, making grabby hands towards the babies
"Haah... Sometimes, I wonder if I'm married to a child, not an adult. " Claude sighed, handing her their son
She gently caressed his face, choosing not to comment on the comment Claude had just a moment ago
"He looks just like you," she spoke, looking at Claude seeing him staring at their daughter lovingly
"And she looks just like you," he spoke, glancing up from the babe he held.
--------------------------------------------------------------
A year had passed, and the little family couldn't be happier. Rubia would stay with her babies all day long.
Even if she went out, the babies would go too. she just loved them too much, but not like Claude was any different.
He would spoil them, and he would also often leave Felix to do his work while he played with his babies and wife.
Often, try convincing them to say dada instead of mama while Rubia would do the same, but for them to say, Mama.
Today, Claude and Ruby were playing with their babies, both now 10 months old. Claude and Ruby posing and the twins drawing them with some crayons.
"Hehe, mama," their son Rio spoke his very first word, leaving the couple shocked and not too long later their daughter Ria spoke as well
"Ma..ma.. pa..pa.. I.. de.. to.." she stuttered out, trying to copy her older twin
"Y... You spoke... THEY SPOKE! " Ruby yelled full of joy, and Claude smiled at her antics and turned to the children
"Don't mind, Mama; she's just a little crazy," Claude spoke, smirking, making Rubia kick him in the arm as since she was standing.
Everything was going good until that night the night of the empresses demise
--------------------------------------------------------------
The night of the twins saying their first words was a cause of celebration, the twins and Rubia were all cuddled up in bed. Meanwhile, the damn nobles forced the emperor to have a meeting with them.
Rubias Pov
I was snuggling my babies heading to sleep, of course, after making sure they were already asleep. Until I heard a creek on the floorboards thanks to my strong hearing.
I was scared but not for myself but for my babies. I slowly open one eye just to see someone about to stab me. I quickly zipped under the blanket, dragging Ria and Rio with me, waking my two 10 months old due to my sudden motion.
I gesture for them to stay put while I exit the blanket, leaving my two terrified babies alone in there.
I run and grab a vase, throwing it at his head, making the assassin bleed a lot, and then I scream at the top of my lungs
"HELP" hoping someone would come to our rescue
But they were too late
I was already on the floor, blood poring out of me and my two babies crying their eyes out as they stumbled towards me
"Ma.. ma" ria called sobbing like crazy
"Mama," Rio called, trying to stop the blood with his blanket he always had with him.
But I'm glad the assassin had left, leaving my precious babies alone and unharmed physically, at least.
A couple of minutes later, Claude came rushing in with his sword unsealed but to only drop it when he came in, running towards us. Meanwhile, Felix ordered some knights to go find doctors and mages.
When Claude got to us, he was horrified seeing my tears flowing like my blood flowing out of me and our two babies sobbing on me
"C... clau.. de.." I breathed out having a hard time due to the wound in my neck.
He hurried to his knees, stroking my softly caressing my cheek
I lean into his touch and speak my final words
"Claude.. Ri..a... Rio.. I.. I'm so.. sorry I.. need... to go.... n...ow... I love...you...."
We're the last things I ever said
