"Push your grace!"
"Aaaaaarghhhhhh" cried out the woman
"Yes keep pushing I see the head"
"No I cannot, I can-aarrgghhhh" she cried again
"Your grace you are almost there just-"
"Where is my husband, I need m-aaarghhhhh" she cried again blood flowing non stop the man-midwife looked down and he looked displeased.
"Oh dear, you must call his majesty immediately!"
The maid got up and ran as fast as she could, she waited outside the dining room took a deep breath and nod her head once and the doors where ajar. She bowed down once and before she could speak...
"Alice is the baby here!" he asked with a smile
"No Your Majesty, she calls for you." she offered a tight lipped smile
Before he could take another step, the Bishop held his shoulder and shook his head, the next words he said made Alice frown and immediately throw daggers
"His majesty shall not be in those chambers until the child is birthed. So tell Her Grace to perform her duties as His Highness is performing his" he gave a stiff nod and offered wine to His Grace.
Victor offered a sad smile as he showed Alice how his shoes were tied. Alice gave a huff and turned around. Walking down the corridor back to Her Graces chambers she had her scream out his name. She stopped closed her eyes, clenched her hands
"Now or never" she whispered out.
This time there was no announcement, the doors where opened bunglingly.
"Your Majesty, Her Grace is in desperate need of you."
"Young girl I tol-" he began to say harshly but was cut off by an angry mouth.
"Told me that Her Grace should perform her duties? which she is with no doubt . But I do not think that His Majesty is performing his. She calls out his name wanting no needing him besides her and you deny her of his duties. Yet you preach to us that a man should be there for his family, and this is his family. Is that not it Bishop?" she glared at him and he gaped at her
"I will take your silence as a yes. This is not just a child being birth, it is the future of this Kingdom and if she and the baby do not go through this, I will tell the council that this was your fault Bishop."
"Girl!" he shouted "How dare you threaten me!"
"No! How dare you go against Her Graces Command!" she fired back. "You might be the Bishop of this Kingdom but that woman is the Queen of this Nation and I humbly ask you to tuck your tail and obey her command." she took three steps back and looked at Victor. "Your Majesty she calls your name."
"Her wish my command."
