Chapter 583 - Five Hundred And Eighty-Three: Ill Be Fine (1/2)

”Come on, we need to go now,” Niklaus helped his wife Reina to her feet. No one had premeditated an attack by eleven in the night. Befitting her condition, Reina had gone to bed only to be awoken less than an hour later.

”Oh my God, the kids,” Reina realized, a look of terror on her face. A pang of guilt hit her at once, she should have believed her kids.

”The kids are safe,” at the moment, Niklaus didn't dare to say that out loud. It was enough that his wife was pregnant and undergoing the stress of a potential coup, not to talk of the thought of her kids in danger. It wasn't good for her condition.

”Get to the kids, they should be with Isabella,” Niklaus had an inkling they would be there, ”Get them to the chapel, the others will be there as well - Judy says it's safe,” he said to her 6just as he opened the door.

”What about you?” Reina held onto his shirt as he turned to leave. There was a great uproar in the corridor; the guards were heading out to defend the east wing while people ran helter scatter searching for a way out.

The situation at hand was a total definition of chaos and right now, Niklaus was about to head into chaos - she didn't like it.

Niklaus stared down at her grip, his gaze softened as he could sense her worry, ”I have to join the others in getting the other diplomats to the chapel. Some might be confused and trapped in this mayhem. You know how dangerous it is if one of them gets hurt - Lincolnshire might as well erase itself,”

”What about you? Aren't you a visitor as well? What if you get hurt?” Reina couldn't help but express her worry. She knew Niklaus, he wouldn't hesitate to jump headfirst into danger if it meant his loved ones were safe.

For once, she just wished he was selfish. Perhaps, it might be the pregnancy or something, Reina became more emotional than usual - she didn't want him always putting himself in danger.

”Nothing would happen to me,” Niklaus said to her but Reina was not convinced.

”Hey, hey,” He palmed her cheeks and rested his forehead on hers, ”I'll be fine, alright?”

Reina blinked away the tears, nodding to his words.

”You're carrying my babies and this time, I'm going to watch them grow up. It's a promise,” He said, then kissed her.

Reina responded to his kisses eagerly amid the pandemonium, knowing the dangers ahead. She didn't want to let him go, but she couldn't hold him back either.

”Be safe,” Was all she said to him.

Niklaus smiled at her, before leaving her.

Reina took a deep breath, this wasn't the time to get emotional, there was work to do. Hence, she turned down the corridor, shoving against guards to get to the kid's location.

Normally, she had been waking but that soon turned to a sprint and she barged into Isabella's room, ”Hey kids, we need to - Emily?” her eyes grew wide.

Emily was sitting up on the bed with a towel pressed to her temple.

”Reina,” She tried to stand, only to fall back down.

”What the hell happened to her?” she asked no one in particular, heading over to the edge of the bed where she squatted down.

”They attacked her, probably intending to kill,” Isabella answered.

”We're under attack,” Emily managed to say, ”The kids were right,”
