angelmage99 Malik relaxed a bit.His wife was okay and that was all that mattered. "Thank you fair midwife." He said. It was kind of his hint that she may leave. Now the next test was to get over the sands of time. That would mess anyone up. He knew that for now on that he would have a midwife on staff at all times. "Please send another midwife to live here until the child is born." He added. Making sure there would always be someone to turn to. The midwife nodded and left the couple to themselves. As the door shut behind her Asalah sat up and pat her belly. "We don't even know the gender yet, but I just know this is going to be quite an experience." She slid off the bed and walked over to Malik. Wrapping her arms around his neck she heard a knock at the door. "Enter," she commanded going over her boundaries slightly. A younger woman with black hair and a white dress entered and said, "I'm the replacement midwife. Have I interrupted you my liege?" She asked addressing Malik first and foremost and ignoring Asalah.

Eden was up early the next morning, she had tossed and turned for most of the night. She ordered breakfast in her room and ate there, staying secluded for the most of the morning. She stayed put and available to the king in case he should summon her. She wasn't ready to chose a husband, but she has to face the music nevertheless. When it was midmorning and she had no requests, she went out into the courtyard to take a long walk. It was sunny out, and the view of the city was breath taking. She easily climbed somewhere high up and looked around. She couldn't sneak out in this dress, she would be discovered within thirty seconds. But the sight sure was worth it!

Malik didn't even know what he was going to do with himself. It was a good thing that raising children was women's work. When she wrapped her arms around his neck the man could only smile. He didn't care that she said enter and not him. The man turned to look at the new midwife. "No. Nothing much." He answered her. He separated from his wife. "This is my wife. Take care of her." He told the woman.

He separated from his wife. "This is my wife. Take care of her." He told the woman. "Yes your excellency," the midwife said as she bowed. "I am called Runa and am quite the skilled midwife." Asalah looked from her husband to the woman as she straightened up and said, "I am Princess Asalah. I suppose I am in your care." She put her hand on her belly and rubbed it. Runa looked at her belly and then at Asalah's face and said, "May I have a moment alone with your husband? I have something important to discuss for about your future only a minor detail to help him relief some of his worries and yours too. I have heard this is your first child from the previous midwife, so I wish to speak with each of you privately because the experience for both of you will be different." Runa smiled and waited to see what would happen.

Eden jumped slightly at the sound of a voice, placing a hand over her heart to calm down. She looked around before realizing that the voice had originated above her. She looked warily at the man who was now above her. She was slightly surprised that she had not heard the man approach.
"Oh...hello." She stated unsurely, turning to face the man. "You startled me for a moment."
She wondered who this guy was. Was he one of the towns people climbing the gate, or one of the princes?

Malik nodded and turn to his wife. "I will talk first. Go ahead and wait outside the door. I'll change spots with you in a moment." The man told his wife. He supposed the woman had her reasoning and Malik wasn't a doctor or anything so he was putting his total trust in his wife's midwife.

"I assume you are one of the many who have come here to marry one of the princes?" he said as he repositioned himself. "I am one of them I am Cure son of Cursius the great War Lord." he said he did not speak after that he was wondering how Tien was doing alone at the palace then spoke one last time "Would you like to take a look at my palace?" he knew the more wives he had there was a greater chance of getting a son so he had learned to be polite now to potentioal wives

He supposed the woman had her reasoning and Malik wasn't a doctor or anything so he was putting his total trust in his wife's midwife. "Okay," Asalah said before leaving the room and closing the door behind her. Once this was done Runa walked over to Malik and said, "What I have to say is very important, actually what I have to ask is very important. I have heard a rumor, let's just say through the other midwives... They all talk about how you and other princes in Assadaran want to be king and to do this you want to have a son. The problem is though that within your families they also speak of a curse. They state that whoever is your wife or whoever they are I should say end up pregnant in mysterious ways and suffer from abnormal symptoms. I need you to tell me honestly Prince Malik if this is true. I can't take care of your wife or any other future woman if this is not confirmed as true or false." Runa folded her hands together and let them hang in front of her while she waited for an answer.

Eden balanced herself on the gate and quickly curtsied before sitting once more, "It is nice to meet you, my lord." she replied politely." I am one of the ones who was sent here by their father in order to marry one of the princes, yes." She added with a bit of a mischievous smirk. She allowed her gaze to drift over the landscape, but quickly focused back on Cure as he made his offer.
"You invite me to your home?" She gave him a puzzled look and a small blush rose to her cheeks, "It would be my honor.*

Malik figured that this was going to come up sooner or later. "Yes. The way to think about this is that a midwife is going to be needed at all times and be on their toes. She could give birth in an hour or twenty years from now." The man explained. They would never know what time she would give birth.

When they were at the palace he got off and helped her down then lead her in his palace was made of dark marble and obsidian he took his cloak off and hung it up the two scars showing on his face and his emerald green eyes sparkling "Tien?!" he called for his other wife "I welcome you to my palace Miss."

She could give birth in an hour or twenty years from now." The man explained. They would never know what time she would give birth. "That's all I needed to hear. I will be going now to take a nap so I can be ready at any time. I need you to tell your wife what's really going on and make sure she knows about your family's curse." Runa instructed Prince Malik gently. "I don't think she'll be able to handle it if you let someone else tell her I've now realized. Tell her so she doesn't freak out and think there's something wrong with herself." With this Runa walked to the door and opened it to find Asalah standing outside waiting. "Listen, I was going to talk to you privately, but your husband has something important to tell you that I would have anyway. Please don't try to eavesdrop on him from now on. My master is very strict about making sure his women keep in line." Runa then walked around Asalah and lightly pushed her into the room with a tap on the butt. She tripped into the room slightly, but caught her balance before saying, "What is it you wish to speak of?"

Tien who had been sewing cam down to the welcoming hall after she had placed it away. She didn't want Cure to see it until she was done. Her dark gown trailing behind her. "Welcome home my lord." She said with a bow after she got to the bottom step. "I hope that you had a good trip." She added. She notice that her husband had brought home another bride. She knew it would happen sooner or later, she kind of hoped it was later. "Welcome to our home." the Chinese woman told the other. "I am Tien Li." She told the other her name.

"I do not know if it is grave news or not my ruby." The man answered his wife. "My family is cursed." He stated. He was up front about. "Any prince is part of the same family is cursed. I can not promise you when your child will be born. The curse could make you go into labor in an hour or in twenty years." He told her. His mother had suffered a little when he was pregnant with him. She was pregnant only five months before he came out.
