"Send for the royal . Doctor . " Empress Vivian ordered as Grace, the white tiger walked closer to Kyera . Grace stopped and tilted her head huffing softly but Ryo instantly got between them . A blur of orange, and a orange tiger came to stand between her and Kyera, a deep growl in its voice .
Kyera was shocked to see the large tiger, his back to her but his bared teeth and posture making it clear she wasn't allowed any closer . Clovis seemed to understand the meaning behind all this as he looked at the Empress .
"Please have Grace wait outside . My wife is in a delicate state and if she makes her uneasy I think it best she not be present . " Clovis spoke clearly as she helped Kyera sit back on the chair . The Bright green eyed Tiger sat down at Kyera's side glaring at the room around them .
This tiger wasn't like the others that often traveled with her . There was a sense of power and the vague scent of death seemed to waft around him . Though he did not get too close to Kyera, it was clear he was setting himself as a buffer between her and the white tiger . He looked every inch like a warrior protecting his charge .

"Kan step aside . " Grace Growled in forest speech .
"Not a chance, Akira . Your presence alone could harm Kyera in her current state . " He reminded her in the same language .
"So could yours . " Grace reminded him with a glare .
"Yes, but she knows one thing about me she doesn't about you . I would never harm her child . " he growled back . Kyera nodded honestly being the only one in the room that could understand them, but the uneasy tension in her stomach was enough to distract her . She winced again and Grace looked up . Seeing the look on her daughter's face, realization dawned in Grace's eyes . She turned, with a bit of effort and dashed out of the room before the Empress Vivan could say a single word .
After several moments and deep breaths, the tiger came to rest by her feet, laying down in a rather lazy cat like way . That aura was still there, but it was directed away from the girl and her husband .
"Surprised to see you here, Kan . " Kyera whispered and the tiger glanced over his shoulder as if asking if she preferred he left . There was a certain lazy quality to it that was completely something else . She didn't say anything and he realized that was her way of allowing him to stay .
"Are you alright? Do you want me to send for Cora?" Clovis asked, gently pushing her hair out of her face . Kyera nodded .
"Its just… I think the cub is uneasy . Please send for Cora . " Kyera agreed a bit more concerned than she was trying to let on . Her hand gently caressed the baby bump and Clovis nodded .
"You there, upstairs in our room, there should be a woman with long hair and bright Purple eyes . She answers to Lady Cora . Tell her there is a problem with the lady princess . " Clovis ordered, and the man looked at Alexi who nodded instantly, shooing the man away up stairs .
"Has this happened before during the pregnancy?" Lalia asked as she brought a glass of cool water and handed it to Kyera . Kyera shook her head as she took a sip of the water .
"Hmm Perhaps too much stress . I met Feya and Kira on the way here . Were they trying to stir up trouble?" Empress Vivian asked as she walked closer . Kan growled softly in warning and his tail flicked back and forth a few times . Kyera looked at him in slight surprise and confusion .
"Let her pass . " She whispered in tiger speech . He looked back at her, then nodded slowly . The Empress Vivian walked around the tiger with a decent birth, before settling down beside her .
"Feya and Kira were less than welcoming . " Alexi replied trying to be as diplomatic as he could without lying . His wife shot him a look and he sighed deeply . "To be honest, that's a understatement . "
"Quite an understatement . " Lailia replied trying to bite her tongue from saying more . She could almost taste the metallic flavor of blood on her tongue .
"Oh really?" The Empress asked her voice rather cold as she looked at ALexi's wife . She knew the girl had a hard time keeping her thoughts and the truth from being heard and yet she was trying quite hard so it seemed .
"Well if you really must know they were pressing us to send Kyera away alone . They had the audacity to tell us issue veiled threats because we allowed them to stay in our home . Apparently because the palace belongs to the royals we don't have a right to have visitors unless they approve . " Lalia replied, honestly tired of trying to keep a civil tongue . Kyera was starting to sweat a bit, and that was also leading to the tension building and breaking Lalia's self control .
