After a long day at work I was finally going to get some rest but as I passed the hall way I stopped at my mother's portrait where I found my sister standing there. Victoria had just arrived the castle .
She silently prayed and I just quietly stood beside her as she paid her respect to her. My older sisters whe mother's copy while I just inherited her blonde hair and I had my father's green eyes which I hated the most .
After she finished praying she turned and looked at me and she had tears in her eyes and we hugged and out of nowhere Violet hugged us together. We stayed there for sometime till my sisters calm down and after all the crying I escorted them to their rooms hugging them once more.
Walking to my room I thought of how are life would have been if mother was still alive, many things could be different and this made me think of my future baby I would never let her/ him have the same life as i did . I would give them all the love in the world and cherish them to no extent.
As I entered the room I saw a sight that bewildered me there was Dehlia sitting on the floor which was wet and grimacing in pain as she held her stomach. As our eyes met she called out my name with great difficulty " Ares I have gone into labor" she screamed .
As I heard her words I sprinted to her and picked her up not wasting a second I called the guards as I ran down the stairs with her after placing her in the delivery room and the midwives rushed inside and closed the door.
"Ares" my sisters called out and I turned and looked at them Victoria held my hand.
" It's taking too long sister" I said hearing this they giggled and patted my head .
" Be patient it takes time for a baby to come out and besides it's too early so be ready for any complications.
"And aren't you excited we don't know if it's a baby boy or girl so which one would prefer" violet asked.
" Personally a girl if you ask me " I responded.
" Good ----" before she could continue Joseph ran in.
Panting heavily" your magesty there is war.
We all turned to him shock." War , what war the empire is supposed to be peaceful at this moment " Violet asked him.
The was a sudden attack on the north of the empire by the barbarians we need to go now " .
"I am not leaving " I said clenching my fist " how can I my baby is about to be born I haven't even met her and you expect me to leave for this war?" .
" Look at me Ares , you are the emperor and it is your duty to protect the empire from all attacks " Victoria said.
" But sister" I tried to argue with her but with a stern look .
" Don't worry about Dehlia and the baby we would be right here to help her so go finish that war as quickly as possible " saying this they hugged me and moved to the delivery room letting me standing there .
With a turn I made eye contact with Joseph and started moving" are the preparations already over " I asked taking of my cape".
Yes your magesty " he responded.
Thes people will regret attacking on this day because of them I would not be able to hold my daughter as soon as she was born and they would regret it fully for making the god of war angry.
