Bab 582: Inspire - Part 1

RETH

Reth raised his hands for quiet, but the elders continued to call for Elia's appearance, one by one, arguing with him.

"Please, please, listen," he begged them, shooting Aymora  look pleading for her help. "Elia is too weak to step up for the people right now. In a few weeks the baby will be born and I'm sure—"

"A few weeks? We are facing insubordination among the people now. We can't wait a few weeks, Reth!"

  He growled. "I will not put her life at risk for this, or the life of our cub!"

"Surely she can stand to make a speech, to shift once? The beast is stronger physically—"

"She hasn't yet learned control. It is too much of a risk—especially since we believe the cub will come soon. We've already had to stop contractions twice. It's too early."

"You said the babe was miraculously developed?"
