Vicious Empress (Unedited)

Chapter 98 - The Attack In The Palace

At this moment the Palace of Samrat is in chaos. First the tension was already heavy and yet the princess suddenly went into labour. The atmosphere seems heavier than before. The time of child birth was set 2 weeks later but Maya's sudden condition scared everyone in the palace. When Vaibhav heard this news he almost flew towards Rose Palace. Worry can be seen clearly on his face. He saw Chityakanta walking towards his direction.

"Mother, what's happening? isn't it still time for my nephew to come?" He asked anxiously.

"This is not certain. Sometimes it happens. I fear that the current situation of the palace has made her so tense that it affected her body" Chityakanta replied.

Before Vaibhav could reply a loud scream made him startled. Chityakanta and him look at the closed door of the room but they can clearly hear Maya's scream fr inside. Chityakanta's heart ached when her daughter's scream echoed in her ear. She knows what it feels like giving birth and she has gone through the same painful ride but during her time, the situation was pleasant and peaceful unlike today. So she couldn't help but feel anxious and sad.

Inside the room, 4 midwives are surrounded by the bed. They are all middle aged women and the best midwives in the whole country. They have been staying in the palace for a month and waiting for this day.

"Your highness, please try to calm down. If your body is not relaxed then it will become difficult to give birth" one of the midwives tried to persuade.

Maya breathed heavily. The pain was almost unbearable and she couldn't calm herself down. This kind of pain was something she never experienced before.

"Your highness, please think about your child. If you relax a little then the birth will be smooth" the second midwife said again.

Maya's expression was so pitiful that the midwives couldn't help but sigh. They have seen many women and knew their behavior too. So they could not help but persuade her with soft words. This time is tender and anything could happen if one was not careful and they really don't want the little prince to get harm before coming into this world. So they looked at Nandini who was sitting beside Maya with hopeful eyes.

Nandini turned her head to look at Maya who's eyes were closed tightly while biting her lips. She held her hand and coaxed softly.

"Maya I know it's painful but you have to bear this, for your child who is waiting for you to help him. If you let him live inside your womb for longer he couldn't breathe and would lose his life even before he could see you. Do you want that?"

The midwives gasped hearing it. They couldn't believe the empress was so direct. Even if she was telling the truth, in this situation it will make the pregnant woman more restless. As they expected when Maya heard it her eyes opened instantly.

"No, I couldn't let it happen" her breath quickened "ah..." She screamed.

The midwives jolted as they looked at her with wide eyes. One of them recovered her shock and said immediately "start the process"

In the desert of Peruk, two armies struggled with each other, cutting and slashing like a piece of vegetables. The sand of Peruk was now covered in blood. In the middle of the war two men stood staring at each other.

"It is a death bed yet you are still so arrogant?" Riharsh laughed "It looks like you think yourself too high isn't it?"

Manik smirked, "Do I still need to do that? Am I not already in a high position?"

That smirk pierced Riharsh in his heart. It was true, the position of Emperor of Samrat is higher than the title of king. He is already in a higher position than him and this is something bugging him all these years and giving birth to an immense hatred in his heart.
