CHAPTER 153
Unknown to Era, Caspian already had his nose pricking in other matters that may not necessarily concern her but would affect her.
The other day he had been approached by one of the ministers of a neighboring state. Precisely their enemy.
And now that Vidor no longer asked for his input in matters, he had begun feeling less relevant and decided to move on with his plans.
For some years now, Vidor had trued to capture and lay waste to their land but the king of Slyeria always evades him and they both tried to avoid battles with each other.
It wasn't like they had not yet battled before, they had but both sides suffered greatly.
In the end, Etheria came out victorious but by a small margin and Slyeria only lost a city.
To Slyeria, it was a little ice berg amongst his many landed properties.
Just like Etheria, Slyeria had also conquered some states but he further made himself a great enemy of Vidor who loved a great challenge.
Once Damian proved to be arrogant before him and one of such might but all he took to bring him down was just his pearls and he won Donia without a fight.
Now he was facing similar dilemma but this King seemed not to have any weak point though he had them surplus.
You see, that was the case. He seemed to having a liking for women but even the species Vidor hated could not be used to put him down.
Was it his flare for horse riding? He had those as well but even during hunting and the likes, no one could attack.
It was like he had fortified himself with charms and the likes, making him impenetrable and quite the headache.
That was the same people that sent one of their men to Caspian. They too over time had tried to find Vidor's weakness but the King of Etheria seemed not to have none.
That was why they had come to Etheria to get an insider and who best to approach than the former regent of Etheria.
Well in name maybe not but in power, everyone knew he had fallen, making him the perfect target and one with a greater reason to plot against Vidor.
Before he was known for his mischief amongst other things he did but now, it seens like Etheria's needle was piercing it at its back.
Staring at the open space in the court yard, Caspian smiled to himself but he did not fail to speak to the visitor he had in his room, lest he kept him bored.
"Yes, Mr Yonder. I agree with you. It is such a nice day. A shame that it would have to be disturbed by the cries of the people."
He turned around, his wanton smile still on his face with his air of indifference still surrounding him.
He wasn't a bad looking person in the first place but he sure was nothing as compared to the stunning complexion, body built, charm and handsomeness of the cold King.
"We would attack when again?" He asked for clarity.
It feels like everything he had always wanted was staring him in the face but it felt too real. So he wanted clarity on the matter for precision.
"As I said. It would happen today. Say from evening time. Expect news of the attack at night. They would least expect it."
"Okay. I trust you. I know that Sina would not want to do anything to jeopardize his men like that. This really spells the beginning of mighty victory."
He walked up to his table and got two glasses then filled them up with wine and walked over to where his friend was and handed him one glass.
"To the future," Caspian cheered.
"To the future."
****
At noon that day all the needed preparations to be made for Eleora's departure had been prepared and even the orphans had been foldnin advance that Era was visiting them with a new member of their family.
For most they were glad by the news as they would bee seeing her again after weeks.
At that moment they had forgotten about what they were told of the new member and chanted on about Era.
This was truly a charm seeing the positivity geared on them by Era and they could only count sheep's till the fated meeting point.
At noon that day when all preparations had been made, Era decided to stay indoors like the previous day but she did not intend on taking in any work and made it a work fee day so she could spend more time with Eleora.
They were just in talking about little things while playing the dice game when a knock came in the door, followed by the announcers voice.
"Your majesty. Lord Damian seeks for an audience."
"Okay." She nodded at Alyx who was with them at that time and she nodded back in understanding.
Moving towards the door, he unlocked it and then opened, letting Lord Damian step in but careful enough so no outsider could see who or what was in.
Once in, she shit the door and bowed to him before disappearing somewhere else to give them privacy.
Moving further towards her bed chamber, he stopped just a few feet from where Era and Eleora sat at a small table close to her bed, he bowed before her.
"Your majesty."
"Lord Damian, please do come in."
He smiled an dclosed the gap between them, taking his seat when Eleora stood up for him and wen to stay with Era.
"Your highness, how are you? It's been what?"
"Weeks."
"Yes but it seemed longer. I am betting you have had such a swell time with her majesty?"
"I did."
"Good." Peeling hos gaze from her, he looked back at Era and smiled. "Your majesty, I have everything as you have requested. I also got the teacher and the doctor. You can inspect them as you see fit."
"Thank you, really for all that you do."
"Happy to be of help. By the way, how is it with his majesty lately? I heard that you two seem close?"
"About that," she let Eleora go and beckoned on Alyx to take her away.
Together the young maid took Eleora to the living room and brought out her toy to play with her.
"We are not close," Era began, relaxing more in her chair than she had once done."Hmm, so it is rumours?"
"You cannot control what people say about you though. They feel we are because he had my back during the morning assembly," Era explained. "It is only natural."
"Well that was quite some defending there. He went ahead to pocknose on the matter when you were making Diona apologize. They have all right to think that way."
"But that is not the case. He forbade me from appearing before him again. So, I wouldn't call that getting close. My revenge would still take place. Vidor or not." She stated firmly.
She really was not planning on relying on anyone anymore.
It was time to really state her stand lest he think her weak.
Of course she cod not tell him about how she felt because she did jot know herself how she felt about Vidor just that though shebhatwd him, she worried for him and he was in jwe wvey thought.
For someone who needed and wanted revenge, that would be pathetic.
"As you wish, your majesty. I am not doubting you though."
"Good. I think that is it. I promised that at the appointed time I would get your girls and free your people. But even you know this takes time."
"I know and there is no rush. I hope you have not forgotten your goal, that is all." His stare was one that could freeze and paralyzed somebody but Era was no pushover.
Smiling a bit, she tapped on the table while her eyes matched his stare.
They kept on with it till Aeverie came everyone ha a nice time that afternoon.
By the tines it was evening, Damian excused them, while leaving them a time, location for when to bring her.
Normally he would have sent someone else but this was important. He needed to guarantee their safety above anything else.
"Please do not cause any delay. You know how everywhere is now?"
"I do but be rest assured. We would get to the eyes of the forest at the appointed time."
"Okay. Take care princess, see you soon." He waved at Eleora thinking about the future as he took his leave.
Once he was out, she had tje doors locked before releasing the breathe she was holding it.
"Phew! That went well. Sigh!" She leaned against the door, trailing her gaze to where Eleora sat playing with her toy with Alyx.
Though she looked young but the young child had gone through life a bit to know its cruelty.
It really would be a shame to those fooled by her childlike facade.
"In due time, you would be free."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
