Chapter 364: The dangers of mid wives.

Before Sigrid could respond, her arm was grabbed by her mother whose nostrils were flared from all the fast angry breathing she was doing. She was like a dragon whose hoard of gold had been stolen.

"Bring her back to life." She hissed.

"What?" Sigrid found herself lost at the request. How was she supposed to bring a dead woman back to life?

Lady Iryne’s next words made much more sense.
