Chapter 267: Between a wife and a sister.

As soon as Roland told her that she was bleeding, Sigrid passed out. She fell back into his arms and he rushed her into the house.

"Doctor, bring the doctor." He bellowed an order.

The white and red knights, not wanting to endanger the life of the crown princess, commandeered the doctor that had been invited to help Deanne through her labor. For the Thorin’s a challenge was presented. On one hand, they had a daughter-in-law, a wife, a sister-in-law who was suffering through the pangs of labor.

On the other hand, they had a daughter and sister, bleeding for an unknown reason. Nathaniel held onto the arm of the doctor as he was pulled away.

"What about my wife?" he asked.

The red knights tugged on the arm of the doctor, forcing Nathaniel to let go. They hated to be the ones to tell him that when it came to priority, Sigrid trumped Deanne.

"What are we to do?" Duchess Mila whispered. Her heart was beating frantically.

She was afraid for both Sigrid and Deanne but a choice had to be made. If they held onto the doctor and Sigrid died or incurred a major illness that was irrecoverable, the crown prince would not forgive them. If Sigrid died, none of them would live to see another day.

But if Deanne or her child died, Nathaniel would blame them. He would never forgive Roland and Sigrid for the rest of his life.

"Bring the doctor now." Roland bellowed. His anger which was packed with a force of magic shook the house. He had lost one child, he was not about to lose another.
