War

Inside the sterile white room, Arriana's breaths quickened as the pain intensified. The royal resident healer, a wise and experienced woman, gently guided her through deep breaths and relaxation techniques.

As the hours ticked by, the room was filled with an air of anticipation. The queen stood by her sister inlaw's side, holding her hand and offering words of encouragement. Their bond of friendship and sisterhood grew stronger in the face of adversity and uncertainty.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the sound of a newborn's cry filled the room. "Congrats, it's a boy" the healer said with a smile.

Tears of relief and joy welled up in Arriana's eyes as she held her precious baby in her arms for the first time. The baby, with tiny fists and a button nose, brought a renewed sense of hope and purpose to the war-torn castle. The baby was taken from her when she felt another construction hit her. Arriana delivered another three babies, two boys and a girl.
