Chapitre 89: Hurin: The Secondborn

#Inner Chamber, Borsippa, Babil

The king and the head physician were eagerly waiting for the moment. The baby would be out at any moment. The queen was doing her best to not scream yet give birth.

Assoros quickly moved by her side and held one of her hands. “My Queen, you can scream if it gives you some comfort; we have a protective barrier; no one will hear your voice… Push… Do whatever you want… and push…” She softly touched her head to show courage and wiped her sweat. He looked at the woman he had loved for such a long time. This would probably be their last meeting. He did not want to waste time worrying about the future. “My loving wife. You have been a great friend and a queen. I love you so much…” He kissed her forehead.

One of the royal guards entered the inner chambers through a secret tunnel hidden behind a large mirror.

Daniyel quickly moved toward him. The guard was holding something wrapped in a white cloth.
