"Your Grace, my lady's body was already weak, the labor had lasted for eight hours and my lady has passed out as soon as the child was born. The baby was also tied and his breathing was very weak, I had only stepped outside to get hotbam as the baby seems to have problems breathing but when I arrived he already stopped breathing," Eva explained. She had played ignorant about the midwife.
After all the Emperor was a very smart man she could not easily fool him. So it was best to pretend as though she trusted the midwife. As long as the Emperor believes that it was the midwife that carry out the plan, he will not confirm, if the child is really dead.
Emperor Vanish's eyes fell as he heard Eva's words, he turned to the steward beside him. "Take care of the rest," he walked out and one could tell that he was in a bad mood but Eva knew he was just putting on an act. She was not stupid enough to believe it.
