Midwife: that can’t be possible, let me check him ( so the midwife stood up and go to check the baby, but on getting to where the baby lie, she found out that was dead, when the queen also saw this, she fell down instantly and collapse)
midwife: (shaking the queen) my queen! my queen
King : my queen! don’t do this to me, please wake up (he screamed and was shaking the queen, but she wasn’t responding, so send three of his guards to go and summon the village native doctor which they did, in no time the native doctor came and after that he did some incantation and splash some liquid something on the Queen’s face, not too long she was revived and after that she started crying for the death of her baby and the king and midwife were consoling her, while the native doctor left, after everything the king later buried his child that same day)
