The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

for @keir
Zarha and Elodie has helped her in the military wing however they been asked to go to the military wing mess hall once they dropped her off. She been guided to one of the bed. Thankfully she wasn't the worst one in here due to injury however, it was best to best to have a look over. When she was knocked back she landed on the back and in that moment she quickly rolled onto her side to try and protect the baby however the was people they a few people who accidently kicked her on the way out not knowing that she was on the floor.
They given her privacy well the nurses giving her a quick look over. They used a cone to listen to both heart beat of Valeria and the babies. The heart rate for Valeria was high "My lady, I know what you been through but I need you to relax if not for yourself then for the baby." She give Valeria's arm a reassuring squeeze.
As Valeria tries to lower her heart rate the nurse tries to listen to the babies heart rate. As she did she noticed a brusing on the side of the stomach, a worried look on her face. "The heartbeat sounds great, but theres a bruise on your side. We possible need to keep an eye on things. Was your husband there at the ball?"
"My... my husband wasn't at the ball."
The healer stood up and walked over to the divider and called out to somebody who walked by. "Can you go send out word for Lord Keir Delaney please. Inform him his wife is in the infirmary please." Before walking over back to Val.
"You will need to rest for a while till these bruises fully heal and if anything abnormal start happening get a healer out right away." She looked serious.
Keir hadn't attended the ball because of duty, in fact none of the Royal Guard had been at the ball for fun but duty. He himself had set up the shifts for the night sending guards with the King and the rest of course had other members of the royal family to protect still, Keir had been stationed with Princess Ophelia's detail. However the events of tonight would soon trickle to his ears and with permission Keir excused himself to head over to the ball which was where he was intercepted and told about his wife, he was also told the King had left with the Huntsman in his arms, the deceased soldier, and about the turned soldier.
They took Keir to the infirmary and straight to his wife, "Love, what's going on? Are you or the baby hurt?"

When Keir entered, her worried face eased a bit seeing her husband. She softly reached out her hand to reach for his, to hold his hand in hers. To feel some comfort. "At the ball I was pushed back and knocked over trying to get out in the chaos. I.... there was loads of people panicking at the sight of the wolf and the soldier his head was.." There was sadness in her eyes.
"Lady Delaney, rest please your heart going to fast. The healer placed a reassuring hand on Val's shoulder before her eyes looked at Keir. "There are a few bruises where people accidentally kicked well they tried to get by, but thankfully your wife managed to not land on her stomach when she was knocked down. However, her heart rate is high due to the event. The baby seems to be okay but we don't know if the baby been injured due to the event till after they are born." The healer was informative. There was a few bruise that was on val's arm that was the most viable.
Keir couldn't help but do his own once through look at Val, he was most certainly worried he didn't know the full scope of things and everything she just said was highly alarming.
"Listen Val, I think it will be best if maybe you stay in the infirmary tonight," he pushed hair out of her face being gentle as can be, "with the things you said happened I'm sure I won't be leaving the palace tonight."

When Keir checked her over she possible not as worst as state as some of the others that was in the infirmary however there was bruises. If Keir placed a hand on the side of her stomach there would be a small flinch from the pain, but she tries to hide it. She could see the worry of Keir's face. She hated seeing him worried.
When he suggested that she stay overnight here, there was a sadness in her eyes. "Would it be a bit selfish if I said I would rather be at home with you?" She leaned her head softly into his hand when he moved some of hair behind her ear. She was indeed worried about the events of the night. "but I don't think we can leave till My dad finished the investigation of the witch who turned the wolf. I am kind of glad you wasn't there Keir. I would of died if something happened. Curse the witch if somebody hurt you, or worse..." There was a sadness in her eyes as the flash of that head landing in front of Elodie's feat. What if that was Keir's head instead. "I don't want to lose you." Her voice creaked a bit.
"It's not selfish Val, but it's out of the question," Keir looked at the medic, "She'll be staying for the night, can we get a moment?" the medic nurse nodded and left. Keir would insist Val to lay back, "Listen love you need to rest okay? You are safe and I'm safe, how is the Commander?"

There was a soft smile, "I know, but it doesn't hurt to ask." There was a soft laugh but she knows deep down that she has to stay for the baby health. When Keir asked the medic to leave her eyes followed her. not wanting to move but she listened as she lay down her hand rested on her belly that was showing. It was strange, wonderful that her and Keir's baby was in there before her eyes rested on her handsome husband. "Okay dear." She was happy that he was safe but with the job there are in it not always the case. Her eyes went serious for a moment when he asked about her dad.
"Possible angry with how the events turned out tonight, felt let down by the Witch who did this. Can you blame him though? Like with everything that going on they thought that it would be a smart idea to..." She takes a soft breath. "He possible going to have a lot on his plates to sort this out and whip people into shape."
"If anyone can see us over this blunder it will be the Commander and the King," Keir advised with utmost confidence, "but let's not think about any of this right now," Keir actually climbed up on the same bed as Val positioning himself so she could lay back against him, "let's get you relaxed love, and the baby."

"I know they will I have the utmost faith in them and not because I an the Commander's daughter. Well that might play a part into it." She tries to relax a bit, trying not to think about work. When he climbed into the bed she tries to position herself so he could climb in better she lean into him if he let her she takes his and placed his hand on the baby bump. "I can feel this one going to be strong like their dad."
"And as beautiful as mommy," Keir added just laying there his hand on the Val's belly, "this baby will be so many things I promise you that. I'm going to see if I can you something warm to sleep in tonight, not yet, but when I do. Need anything else?"

There was a soft blush on Val's face "You still know how to make me smile." When was asked if he could get anything for her from home she thought for a bit. Smiling at her little baby bump relaxing seeing Keir's hand ontop of it. She know once this little one is here their world is complete. "Can you get me my pillow, the one I use when I sleep on my side please. If the cook made any of her cookies please I really fancy about ten of them." During this pregnancy she been craving them.
Keir chuckled, "just ten? I'll bring twenty love if you want them," he squeezed her hand, "You know Miss Mirza is going to bake up a storm over this, I wouldn't be surprised if the staff don't lift mountains for you when you return home. I can't wait to have this night over with though, so when I do go to sleep it's cuddled up to you just like this," he nestled in closer to her kissing her on top of her head. Smelling her hair. The softness of her skin and the bump that guarded the little life they were making.

Hearing Keir laugh ade her relax, in these stressful time, it the small things that makes you smile. "They do go above and beyond, the staff are wonderful." Here smile fades a bit turning her head slightly closing her eyes."You will try and sleep tonight dear, won't you? for me." Valeria knows he care about her but she wants him be healthy.
"I promise babe, for you and the baby," and if he found the time he would but he knew after tonight's events sleep was going to be possibly nonexistent, for now though he just curled up beside his wife and held her along with rubbing her belly.
