215: Shift in dynamics [pt1]

"Eve, I heard what happened. Is Elysia alright?"

Eve looked up with worried eyes toward the emperor. Adam had not taken any time in coming to the queen's quarters once he had heard the news. His face was pale and sweat made its way down his brows.

His worried face looked back at Eve with his golden eyes shining with worry. Behind him, Eve could see his retainers have an impatient face.

These same retainers were the ones who forced Adam to come to her when Eve had caught a small cold. These identical people were the ones who looked annoyed to see Elysia give birth.

"Adam, calm down and take a deep breath first. You are hyperventilating right now and it is not good for your health."

Despite how much Eve wanted to break into Elysia's room to help her out, she could not do so. She was too close to Elysia to make any rational decision. She had no other choice but to use a trusted nurse from the temple.
