Chapter 359: Thalassa is finally in Solandor.
For the rest of the details, Sigrid waited until they had returned to the royal castle and where safe behind closed doors in her reading room to explain why she was in need of a pregnant woman that was ready to give birth.
"So...phantom midwife." Mauve looked at Sigrid’s abdomen. "Are you expecting or having trouble expecting?"
She smiled mysteriously, urged them to move closer and whispered. "I am expecting but it is a secret that you will tell no one." Then she leaned away from them and walked to her desk and sat down in the chair.
Mauve and Christie were all smiles and gushes, happy for her, which was to be expected.
"Oh, we are going to have a mini Sigrid." Mauve squealed.
"Shhh." Sigrid and Christie gestured to Mauve at the same time. She had one of those sharp squeals that could travel through walls and doors.
Christie looked at Sigrid and said, "It could also be a mini Roland. Let’s be honest, in Eldoria boys are still preferred to girls, especially in the cases of first births among nobles. Everyone is looking for the next heir. The royal family is even worse because having male children ensures the continuity of their stay on the throne."
Sigrid clapped her hands to draw their attention. "Ladies, while I do have good news, it is not the reason as to why I need to see the phantom mage. Just find me a pregnant woman that is ready to pop. Today would be preferred. Bring them to the royal castle....mm...no, bring them to our secret lair and then we summon her." She waved her hands, gesturing that it was time for them to get on it immediately.
As soon as they left, she went to her bathroom and joined Roland for his second bath of the day. With all the baths he had been having lately, she was worried that he would peel his skin off.
