It was a little after midnight when the storm finally hit the capital city. Lightning slashed the dark clouds as thunder shook the air, while Abby screamed and screamed all night, until she couldn't feel her throat anymore.

It didn't take long for her screams to turn hoarse, which slowly but surely became inaudible, as her body writhed in pure agony, the concoction was really potent and the girl was more than desperate for this bone crushing torment to end. She was deprived of every other sense but pain, the worst part was she feared she would crush her own stomach if she rolled over accidentally. "Alyssa..."

She rasped as she mustered what little energy was left in her as she searched for her maid through blurry eyes, only relaxing when she found the girl scrambling toward her with tears streaming down her own face. Reyna wasn't doing much better either. If anything, she looked like she was in agony watching Abby like this.

"My Queen..." Both her maids hustled to her side and their breath caught in their throats when Abby finally opened her mouth to reveal why she called them over.

"Ho-hold me do- down." Abby wasn't kidding about this, even if she felt her whole body being sliced open under the influence of herbs that strained her muscles and bones, just so this bloody labor could be induced, she wanted nothing but for her baby to be born safely.

Nothing but her baby mattered to her now.

The maids were shocked by her order, because they saw how hard it was for Abby to keep still when pain sliced through her frame.

However, it was Nadia who made that decision for them. "Hold the queen down, or it may complicate the birthing process."

The royal healer was also the first to reclaim her position by Abby's right as she clamped a vice grip around her right wrist as Efrem did the same to her other hand, leaving Alyssa and Reyna to pin her leg's down.

Even with the four of them holding her down, Abby managed to thrash around a lot, but it was still better than falling off the bed, on her heavily pregnant stomach no less.

However, her wheezing through pain wasn't the worst part of the night because, a few minutes later, Alyssa informed her that Alan had something important to let her know.
