CHAPTER 157
'Because of me, she went out for fresh sir but on a wrong day. If those barbarians get a hold of her in her disguised form, they would have her no questions asked. And if they find out she is my queen, it makes matters worst. They would all want to use her to get back at me.'
Though his thought was invigorating him, he could only tighten his knuckles harder. This was bad.
The more he thought of others possessing Era the more his mind went bleak. She was his. He had not even you her but only kisses he'd, how then coukd the woman whom could make him swoon like this be with another man?
No, if that happened, he would kill of the Slyerians and wage full on war on them.
No, no, no. He shouldn't be thinking that now. Era would be safe so long as he hurried.
She was his and only his. No one was going to have her. No man would feel those lips pressed against theirs.
No man would have his queen. No man whatsoever and no line of his people would suffer similar fate.
His heart was thudding loudly in his chest now. Without waiting much, he climbed his horse upon getting to the palace grounds and charged out with his army.
Once Caspian was sure he had left, he tightened his grip on his own horse. He was lucky that the messenger Yinder sent to him hadn't gone. He needed to tell them about Era so they kept eyes out for every blonde blue eyed girl.
If they found her before Vidor did, then it meant they could kill her, rape her or do whatever they wanted to do with her, so long as they made her unapproachable by Vidor and they could send both of them to the netherworld for all he cared.
This was a big opportunity. Who was he to say no. In the end, himself and Diona could get what they wanted without having to do much or anything for that matter and nothing would be tied to them.
At this point Caspian was safe to say Vidor could only blame his queen for his doom.
Looking at the few armies that had gathered since Visor left, a small smike spread across his lips for all to see.
Right now he felt like the king of the world. He may habe been assigned a few troopes to lead but he was planning something more.
Onve he heard that Vidor had died, he would launch a fullscale attavk on yjose who lived within the palace and claim Etjeria for himself.
Even if Era was to be found and she came, he was regent because he controlled more than half of the King's personal armies.
Alpha Army was his to control. He was born with and for this role whether anyone liked it or not.
"Army Alpha!" His cold deep voixe rang out loud and clear for everyone to hear particuarly those who mocked and scorned him for being disfavoured by his majesty.
In the end when the king needed something, he came relying on him and not them.
"Tsk. Tonight, we must stand guard and fight for what we want. Slyerians have invaded but his valiant royal majesty, is marching on to battle. Prepared we must be for anything. I would not take any slavking off. Everyone is under my cimmand until we hear word from his majesty."
No one dared argued, fpr he held in his hand his majesty's royal totem signifying his command over his armies.
A cheeky toothed grin appeared on his face again as he looked at all of them with prid3 then he dropped his raised hand and turned his horse around, waiting earnestly for the news to conquer.
****
Meanwhile, Damian rode as fast as he cojld, taking the shortest cut possibly to the palace. It was already late and he did not want to complicate matters now that he was with Era.
It was best if they were separate so as to avoid people seeing them and suspecting wrongly.
On getting to the castle, they found security much tighter and a bit rowdy but die to his position, Damian safely saw tyem through.
Not understanding what was going in, both went their separate ways quickly to find out what was going on while Era on the other hand wanted to return and pretend she never left.
"I need to ensure things are okay, forst your majwsty. Afyer that, I would come to you just to be suew you are safe."
"Thank you." With that they bode each other fare well and left.
The moment Damian came out from the eye of rhe forest where they had separated, over to a different part of the castle, somwone called him over.
"My Lord Damian. Welcome back," his trusted man spoke up, running towards him feom behind.
Turning around, he got full view of who it was and decided to ask. "Yes, what is wrong with the palace?"
"We just heard that the Slyerians have attacked City Meth and his majesty has specifically marched out to fight himself."
"What?"
His once narrowed eyes widened in shock. What was Vidor thinking rushing out like that? He was king and needed to think properly lest the palace is laid under siege.
****
Era on the other hand did not stop till she was inside the castle walls and as she briskly walked away, she bumped into someone who was running in the direcrion she was coming from.
She stopped briefly to apologize to the person but the person had not bothered to wait and ran off, lowering his or head even more.
She was surprised by thw act of high level rudeness. Both of them had bumped into each other, it was only natural that they apologized and then go about their ways.
It wasn't like she wanted him to see her but courtsey demanded it.
Peelong her gaze back to her own problems she saw sometjing close to her feet and paused.
She did not recall being with such and she lowered herself a bit as she picked it up.
"Paper?"
She narrowed her eyes at it and then looked back at where she was coming from.
"It must belong to him but wait, using of paper here in Etheria is rare. They mostly used scrolls to pass on messages. So how come he had one and from his clothing, he didn't look so rich."
She let out a sigh, before looking back again. The young man had already dosappeared so she could not start tracing her steps and what if it really wasn't his?
With that thought, she looked around, guards were on thw mobe. It wasn't safe to be there with that. She needed to check it somewhere safe.
"Yes, my study is up ahead. I would check it out once I get there and depart to my chambers from there."
Upon reaching her study room, Era failed to lock the door and immediately opened the muffled piece of paper.
The more she went on her way earlier, the more her mind was on thw piece of paper. Just who was it that had access to that and what was it doing in this ruckus, whay was the person in a hurry?
All of these questions plagued her mind. So when she was in her lair, she opened it up only to see the contents, leaving her mouth wide open.
She glanced through the paper again, reading it out loud to her hearing, hoping it would change thw words she had just read inro something better.
But no matter how many times she read, it was the same content.
"That would exolain the reason wjy the armies are everywhere and the guards parading the hall. Vidor..."
She blinked, realization finally dawning on her. She took a deep breath. Her mind was fighting reason with her heart.
This was her opportunity really. He had wronged her in more ways that one. If she could stay put and pretended she did not see anything, then Vidor would fall into enemies trap and he would die.
That way she did not have to take revenge. His enemies would do the work and her anger word have been satiated to the bearest minimum.
It would be something easy and logical.
But as much as her mind felt this way, her heart argued. Could she just really sit back and watch as he died, knowing full well he was walking into a trap?
She blinked, not knowing what to do at that moment. She looked at the letter again, reading it for the last time to check the reactions in her mind and heart and which ever one she felt more, that would be her decisoon.
As she read, she suddenly felt a presence behind her and a cold voice rang into her ear.
"A conspiracy."
