Chapter 467 Fuck!

Several months later.

Nicholas was busy in his study reading reports from the lords around Riga that were sent to the capital once a month. This was the day he disliked the most of all days in the month but he must do his job and read them.

Not only reports, but the lords would also submit requests, invitations, etc. All needed his attention. Some lords were throwing parties to celebrate the birth of their heirs, marriage between their children and other lord's children, the birthday party of a Duke's daughter, and many more.

Nicholas would usually send gifts if he couldn't attend and send his representatives to go there. It was important to keep a good relationship with those noble families because they were the backbone of this kingdom. Their taxes and attributes, their soldiers and knights, and their counsel were what kept Riga prosperous and safe.

He put down a parchment - a wedding invitation from Lord Bruno in the South, Duke of Arlyss, and then he wrote down a reply. After he finished, Nicholas placed the reply on top of the invitation so his assistant could later give his royal seal and send the king's reply together with the gifts from him to the duke.

Speaking of gifts, Nicholas's eyes glanced at the cabinet to his right, where he kept his journal, a crown, and a box filled with jewelry sold to him by Sophie.

That's where he kept her jewelry with the excuse that it was the royal treasury that bought them and would be given to noblewomen around Riga if the king needed to send them gifts for special occasions in which their husbands or fathers sent invitations to the king.

Nicholas chuckled when he remembered his words back then. He only said that because he didn't want Sophie to reject his help. She had been quite stubborn with what she wanted, including leaving the royal palace and opening her own business.

Sophie still thought that her jewelry was now the court's possession. Well... never in a million years would Nicholas let the jewelry go to anyone. When the time came, he would give them back to Sophie.

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

KNOCK!!

Nicholas raised his face when he heard the knocks on the door. He immediately knew it was his sons because they were the only ones who would dare to knock so loudly like what they were doing now.

"Yes?" Nicholas furrowed his brows. "Come in. What's going on?"

"Mommy is going into labor," Luciel exclaimed. He barged in before the door was opened completely, followed by his twin, Jan.

"Huh?" Nicholas immediately got up from his chair and ran to them. "Sophie is giving birth?? Where is she now?"

"Mommy is going here to give birth," said Luciel quickly. "She doesn't want the tavern patrons to hear the noise and become bothered by the birth."

Nicholas instantly panicked. Was it safe for Sophie to travel with the carriage to the royal palace with her baby ready to pop out?

"Why didn't she just close the tavern while she is in labor," asked Nicholas, not understanding.

"Mommy said it's unexpected and the guests already paid to book our tavern for an event," Jan explained. "Mommy doesn't want to ruin her reputation by kicking out paying guests all of a sudden. She wants her tavern to be successful and with no drama. She will be here shortly."

Nicholas actually felt happy that Sophie was very prepared and as soon as she found out that she was about to give birth, she immediately asked the coachman from the royal to take her there so she could give birth comfortably, surrounded by doctors. What's more important was she wouldn't be scaring her tavern patrons while she was pushing her baby out.

Nicholas would make sure that Sophie got everything she needed, and more importantly the family who loved her so much during her life-and-death battle during childbirth.

He would make sure all the best doctors who were accessible to the royal family, the best bed to give birth, and even a harpist to play soothing music during the process to get everyone to relax, would be available to Sophie.

However, Sophie's decision, to just get on that carriage with her very big belly and took the trip on a bumpy road from her tavern to the capital, worried the hell out of Nicholas.

He hoped she was fine and could reach the palace quickly and comfortably.

Nicholas strode out of his study followed by Luciel and Jan. He quickly went to the courtyard, getting ready to welcome Sophie's carriage when they got her.

"How did you know your mom is coming this way?" Nicholas asked the boys.

"Oh, because she sent a raven to us before she left with the carriage," Lucien explained.

"Oh..." Nicholas nodded in understanding.? He looked up to watch the gate and then sighed. There were still no signs of Sophie and the carriage coming closer.

Nicholas started pacing. He looked at the sky, and then he looked at the gate to see if Sophie had arrived. Luciel and Jan stood on each of his sides.? They were nervous and impatient to see her.

DRAP DRAP

"That's her!" Jan was the first to see his mother's carriage and he immediately dashed to welcome Sophie. Nicholas and Lucien followed suit.

The man and the two boys standing right in front of the carriage door, eager to see the woman who was about to come out of the carriage. The coachman got down from the carriage and opened the door for her.

"Hey..." Sophie stepped out of the carriage and looked at Nicholas and the boys with a surprised expression. "Have you guys been waiting for a long time?"

All three of them shook their heads.

Sophie suddenly clutched her stomach and held on to the carriage body. She was having a contraction.

"Are you okay?" Nicholas asked. "Let me take you to the infirmary. The doctors are already waiting for you."

Sophie opened her eyes and nodded weakly. "Yeah... I need help. This contraction is so damn painful..."

She stepped forward a little bit and accidentally fell into the man's arms. Nicholas immediately caught her and made sure she was fine.

"Hey... let me carry you. It will be faster and better this way," said Nicholas.

"Th-thank you, Nic," said Sophie.

Nicholas ran as quickly as possible to the infirmary with Sophie's body in his arms. An older doctor welcomed the king in the infirmary.

"Oh, let's discuss everything else after this," said Nicholas. He placed Sophie on the bed and then went to the doctor to ask him to check on her pregnancy. "Please just check her health and help her with the labor."

"Labor?" the doctor looked at Nicholas.

The king nodded. "Yes, Lady Sophie is having contractions and she said she will give birth very soon."

"Can you wait outside, Your Majesty?" said the doctor politely. "Let us handle this and make sure Lady Sophia will be healthy. Your presence might disturb the process."

Nicholas really wanted to be there, but he realized that he had no rights. He was not her husband, and also not the father of the baby she was giving birth to at that moment. So, it was only logical that he waited outside.

"Very well, but can I ask for my mother to accompany Sophie here in the birthing room?" Nicholas turned to the doctor and asked about their options. "I don't want her to be alone."

The doctor nodded. "Yes, definitely, Your Majesty."

Nicholas looked at Sophie who was writhing in pain on the bed. Nicholas felt really sad to see her. She shouldn't have suffered like this when she was about to give birth to her child.

Nicholas took a deep breath and held Sophie's hand and squeezed it gently. "I will go get my mother to keep you company. Do you need anything from outside?"

Sophie shook her head weakly. She growled and gripped the sheets to vent the pain she was having right now. She wanted to curse and scream because of the intense pain but she couldn't do it in front of the king. So, yes, she badly wanted him to go and she was grateful the doctor asked Nicholas to go away on her behalf.

"Gosh.. why is this pain so great...?" Sophie groaned in frustration. The doctor called his assistants and prepared to help Sophie push her baby.

He smiled kindly and replied to her questions. "Human babies are big, so they need extra effort to push out. You can do this, Your Grace."

Sophie wanted to cry. She bit her lip so hard and raised her head to see her stomach. The baby inside her was moving like crazy and it gave her so much pain.

"You can cry and curse, or do whatever, Your Grace," said the doctor again. "Nobody will judge you."

"Aaaahhh.....!!" Sophie rolled to the side and clutched her stomach hard. "Fuck!!"

Three doctor's assistants came inside the infirmary and helped the doctor prepare for the delivery.
