3rd August

Summer Day -- Nascot

Glory Gabanus

Message sent to all nobles in the region Meuse (32 recipients) and to Brigdha Dubhaine Servants kept running back and forth, towels gathered, parfume secured to scent the room and a new dress for the Queen was brought into the room. Within the hour a pidgeon returned to the castle to inform them that Lady Brigdha had been informed.

Contractions had started, but it would still be several hours before they would become rapid enough. Slowly some form of rest was coming into the room, untill a guard entered the room and moved to Reinhart to whisper something in his ear. "My Queen, there seems to be some visitors who wish to see you, I will inform them to wait a day and will then return again your grace," he said as he smiled towards Glory. "Don't stay away too long Reinhart," she replied.

With those words he left the room and as soon as he had made some distance he turned to the guard who had come in "What do you mean an enemy army?" and the guard led him to the ballistrades "Milord, look in the distance," and so Reinhart did. Fires could be seen in the distance, and banners although unclear to whom they belonged. "Perhaps they are friendly milord?" the guard then continued but Reinhart interrupted him "From the south-east? No, they are not friendly. Prepare the defenses of the castle. Leave the walls of Meuse, but guard the castle and the Queen at all costs, and nobody is to inform her do you understand me? I will kill the first one who tells the Queen, she cannot be scared in the middle of labor!"

Quickly barricades were set up, doors were blocked, big rocks were placed behind them, oil and pitch placed near the windows above. They had to survive for some hours more.
