Chapter 268: The phantom midwife.
Sigrid’s case was solved by Cosmos, he used magic to stabilize her and the baby. The doctor Roland had so desperately called for was useless. The red knights escorted him back to the Thorin’s.
"What is going on with my granddaughter?" The duke asked the doctor.
The doctor shook his head, he had no idea. "The mage has said that she is alright so you should not worry. Perhaps she was simply cut by a piece of glass."
Relieved, the duke sent the doctor into the bedroom to help Deanne. But, he was inside for less than two seconds when he was sent out.
"Now what?" The duke asked anxiously. In a low voice her asked, "Is...is it too late?"
Deanne provided the answer by letting out a loud scream that announced the fact she was alive. Duke Thorin was so relieved that he exhaled and stumbled backwards.
His valet and a knight provided him with support, and they made him sit down in a chair. The doctor gave John and Elowin updates meanwhile.
Iryne and Annabelle joined them and they went to check on Sigrid. Red knights would not let them into the bedroom so they went to Deanne’s side.
The reason as to why red knights were not allowing anyone inside the room where Sigrid was simple. The crown prince had said nobody could come in except for the Lord mage.
The Lord mage entered just when Roland was taking the blame for Sigrid’s near miscarriage.
"She said that we should not tell anyone about the pregnancy until she passed the first trimester. She was afraid that it would jinx it and we would lose another child. I told my grandmother about it. I am the one that brought his jinx on us."
