A weeping silence passed through the entire room. Thick layer of air stiffened after the physician had spoken about Isabella's current condition. It wasn't totally unexpected in reality. Isabella had already a complicated pregnancy during the entire time. Even falling pregnant for once was difficult for her health.
The physicians didn't break their eye contact from Silas who had a complicated expression hanging on his face. It was too surreal to find his such pathetic moment. Silas was a man of words, avoided making contact with women simply because he found them annoying and a bucket of overacting. But here, he was sitting by a woman's side who was fighting for her survival and had even endured her low pathetic cries occasionally. Not only that, he was obsessed with cleaning but he actually placed her over his bed.
Silas was having a tough time in choosing the options. Though he wasn't related to her in any aspect, a fear built up inside his heart unknowingly as if he would loose someone precious upon this decision.
Watching the tight frown between his brows, one of the physician decided to speak first hesitantly,
" We..we would better take instructions from Lady."
One of the physician suggested, thinking that this decision didn't concern him much. Silas stopped roaring out at the woman who was attempting to go out,
" Wait!! Do you think that mother can take more rightful decision than me? Save the princess now if it is the only option left."
The physician looked a bit startled but didn't had the gut of delaying any longer as they all know how freaking crazy Duke he was. Thus they all moved on the other side to start the treatment fast.
Though Isabella had lost her conscious, a part of her could still hear them out. Her body shuddered lightly after the decision came out from Silas's mouth. Her pale lips parted before murmuring out weakly,
" Baby.. save.. save.. the.. baby..Vin.. Vincent.."
Isabella kept chanting the same words repeatedly. Her voice dried in weakness but she kept continuing. Silas looked down at Isabella worryingly. She was still clasping his hand, silently passing the plead of saving the baby but he knew that her life was more important.
Once again, he played the part of her acting husband. Leaning down to whisper in her ears, he spoke hoping that his soothing words could calm her down,
" It's okay, Princess! I am here! We will have a lot of babies in the future but I need you here. You hear me? Don't loose yourself! "
He spoke before gripping her palm more tightly. His green eyes relaxed when he saw her facial expression softening slowly. As if a huge burden had left from his shoulders, Silas sighed out longingly and urged at the physicians,
" Stop her bleeding or she will die! Stop it! Quick! "
One of the physician panicked feeling afraid of her critical state,
" We are doing our best, Your Highness! "
Not only inside the room, outside people from the Vallodisan Castle all had gathered around to hear any news eagerly. Queen Mary De Vallod was going through short panic attacks as each moment passed by.
King Draco De Vallod made his appearance shortly afterwards. Boot tickling against the floor hastily, he was literally running towards the direction of Silas's room where people had gathered around. The staffs all opened a path for their king to enter. Once he came across the door, Isabella's screaming voice pierced through the entire castle.
King Draco questioned anxiously to her queen,
" How is it going on? I can't believe that something so bad happened. If anything happens to Princess Isabella, what will I say to King Cedric?"
Lady Mary consoled staring at the closed door anxiously,
" Don't think so bad, husband! I believe that god will show mercy upon that child. It is indeed fortunate that Silas had found her fast or else she would have dead by now."
King Draco appeared extremely anxious. He had arranged such a grand way to welcome Isabella but now she was fighting with death in his own castle. His guilt had no bounds and at the same time, his belief towards his son had raised a level up. He heard from his guards that Silas not only brought Isabella on time but also managed to capture those rogues. Now those rogues were being tortured by Silas's personal group of dragons who were in charge of protecting him, known as the most deadliest warriors of Vallod's Kingdom.
Noticing that Silas wasn't seen anywhere nearby, Draco asked pacing back to forth worryingly,
" Where is Silas?"
Lady Mary replied appearing a little hesitated to answer,
" He..he is with the princess.. inside.."
King Draco was stunned after her response. Yelling out loudly, he growled at his wife reasonably,
" How can he stay there? She isn't his wife. Except husband, no male should go inside at all. Damn it! Ask him to come out now."
Lady Mary comforted her husband softly,
" He must have his reasons to stay inside. Don't bicker on the matter, husband! Let's just pray that both baby and mother stay safe."
King Draco didn't argue on the topic anymore. He was already worried about how to tell Cedric about the disaster that just taken place in here. He had already sent his men to bring the other people dead or alive who were accompanying Isabella in Richalwolf Land.
After pondering for a while, Draco asked again peering at the doorway worryingly,
" Wife, should I inform King Cedric now? After all, Princess was carrying the heir of Davina. I am afraid that the child's existence is very important matter to them."
Queen Mary was a very thoughtful person. Reconsidering the miserable state of Isabella in where her life was depending,she denied letting out a long sigh,
" Let's wait for her recovery, husband. Even if we inform them now, they won't be able to do anything. We have the best physicians in our kingdom after all."
Draco agreed letting out a hum and began to pace from back to forth again.
Inside, one of the physician yelled out anxiously,
" Your Highness! We..we are loosing both the mother and child..Dear God..."
