Months had passed and despite the attempts to convince her, hands had not touched swords since that day in the woods. She was convinced that she was just too dangerous to wield it and would end up killing someone unintentionally with her anger. Not to mention the fact that the Midwife found her to be with child and the battlefield was no place for a pregnant woman. Her daughter had stepped up in her stead and taken the responsibility of running the troops. It made her so very proud to see how responsible and brave she had become. Everything about her world changed on what seemed to be a peaceful night.
Emilia Rose from the bed when the sound of panic filled her ears. John was already up and suiting up into his armor. She kissed him before he headed out the door not knowing this would be the last time she saw him. Shortly after her Daughter and a few soldiers came to evacuate her and most of their villagers. Eventually, that made it back to the main kingdom and even they had suffered an attack. The queen was taken along with their daughter. Only leaving the young prince behind who was with one of the servants at the time.
Emilia found herself in her old home where she had first resided with her husband. Getting a fire started she sat at the table and waited for him to return from the fights. When a knock came on the door she moved to open it where she found Kayla and two other soldiers. In her daughter's hands, she found Johns blood splattered helmet. "Mom. I'm sorry but his body was not found. We believe he was taken or turned." She spoke and handed over the helmet. She could see the sadness on her daughter's face but she closed the door.
She made her way into the bedroom with the helmet and sat in on the night stand. Curling up in the bed her hands rested on her rather larger belly and she cried herself to sleep.
