Their eyes widened in horror at the sight in Queen Danika's bedroom. And it was a sight of horror.
A dead man, Coza, laid on the floor at one side of the bedroom. Vetta was cushioned in the arms of a heavily pregnant Queen whose face is bathed in sweat and tears, her eyes held indescribable pain. There was blood everywhere.
"S-Save her... Please..." Danika cried as they entered the bedroom. Sobs racked her throat.
"Where's the Medicine man!?" King Lucien barked then as he rushed towards his Queen, "Get to work with your disciples and apprentices! Take the Queen to Baski's bedroom, now!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Everywhere exploded into actions. Baski and Sally were crying as they hurried towards the Queen.
"Sorry... So sorry...!" The two women wouldn't stop crying as they held their Queen who's still cradling Vetta in her arms. Their cries escalated when they saw the state of the former Mistress.
Just then, another painful contraction seized Danika. So painful, she screamed out in agony.
King Lucien rushed to her, he cradled her shoulders. "Dearling, my dearling..."
"Vetta..." Danika gasped, shaking her head miserably.
"I'll take her, I'll take her," The King said placatingly, "Let me take her, Danika. Allow the Medicine men to take care of you, please," He added when he saw how she was resisting their advances, "Please."
"Okay, okay," she agreed in between painful, anguished pants at his pleadings. Finally, her arms loosened around Vetta.
"Chad." The King ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." He rushed forward and lifted the Queen into his arms. When she wrapped her arms around his neck, he hurried out in a gentle but fast run out of the blood-filled bedroom.
Guilt filled Chad. He'd searched for his wife and Baski all over the Kingdom, but he wasn't able to find them. When he finally met a maid that told him that she saw the women out in the field collecting dry leaves for new herbs, he'd rushed out to the field in search of them, but was held up on the battlefield.
Too many enemies coming on to him at the same time had delayed him.
