In the heart of Montiria Palace, Gadel paced nervously outside the queen's chamber. The agonizing wails of childbirth pierced the air, each cry a dagger to his heart.
He glanced at Elder Wynter, the palace's wise old sage. "Elder Wynter, are you sure you don't need to check on her? I'm about to go bonkers!"
Wynter sighed. "Gadel, childbirth is a natural process. We even suggested a painless cesarean, but you insisted on Fiorenna's choice."
Gadel's worry was evident. "I just want her to be safe."
Wynter reassured him, "As long as there's no excessive bleeding, it's just a matter of enduring the pain. Trust me, I've seen this many times."
Though reassured, Gadel couldn't shake his anxiety.
Creak.
The door creaked open, and a midwife emerged, carrying a basin of blood-stained water. She quickly replaced it with a fresh basin of warm water and hurried back inside.
Gadel's eyes widened. "How is the queen?" he asked, his voice trembling.
"Your Majesty, the baby's head is stuck, but we're doing our best," the midwife replied before disappearing back into the chamber, leaving Gadel staring at the closed door.
A wry smile tugged at Gadel’s lips. His unborn child was already causing trouble.
