CHAPTER 159
At that moment, she was shocked to see the person staring down at her was none other than her minister.
seeing the shock in her eyes, he proceeded to fix the problem.
"If his majesty is in danger, shouldn't we get help for him? This is a conspiracy."
Regardless, Era did not move a muscle and that had bothered him greatly.
"Your majesty." She was somehow still petrified by the whole thing and did not know what to say.
Because right now, Era was at a loss for words. How was she going to explain to anyone that she had such a letter? They would not believe her and given what happened to her family, they would believe easily.
She was doomed.
It was as though he knew what was going on in her mind, so he explained to ease her up a bit.
"Relax your majesty, I would not call this in for you. I saw you when you bumped into that person earlier on, and how you picked it and came here to read it. I have been following you since then. Rest assured, I would support you. You have me as your witness. We were lucky to have seen this. There is still time, his majesty rode for Meth about two hours ago."
With all that information pouring into her head, Era began to relax a fraction, and calm down.
He gave her a minute to get herself back and once that was done, he wasted no time in reminding her of the problem.
"So what is your next course of action, my queen?"
"Lord Kane."
"Yes, your majesty."
"Which Lord or minister can we trust?"
"I do not know but right now, Caspian has full control of his majesty's army to safeguard the palace. Given the condition, he would not risk pulling out Army Alpha for battle. He would wait here."
"I see, So Lord Caspian is out, who else do you have in mind?"
"I do not know but..."
"I think I do. Hurry, let us go and find Lord Damian. He has an army that can rival the Alpha army. If they are fast enough, they would catch up to his majesty before daybreak and at the right time when their attack would happen."
"Okay, your majesty and since we do not know who that messenger was, we should not announce it out to everyone."
"FINE THEN? And this is why Lord Damian is our man. Very able and strong. Prepare and meet me in my chambers as well. I would send for Lord Damian."
"Yes, your majesty."
Bowing his head at her, he gave way, watching as she rushed out and dashed towards her chambers. Once he was sure she had gone, he followed suit and disappeared.
Era did not need to longer more on the issue with Kane there he made it easier. And perhaps now was not the time to let Vidor die with such conspiracy going on. She would be the first target, especially with Caspian in charge. Anything could happen.
On her way going, she felt a hand suddenly drag her towards himself and covered her mouth with typically his fingers as they went towards another corridor.
She struggled at first but he wouldn't budge until she calmed down, taking in his scent, she realized who it was. Seeing as she was not struggling anymore and was more relaxed, he calmed down and finally let her go.
Era turned around d almost instantly and eyed him but she did not say anything, watching as he lowered his head.
"I am sorry," he apologised sincerely.
"But I found out something."
"Yes. I did too. Visit rode into battle and it is a trap.

By the time Damian and she got to her chambers, they saw the minister waiting for g for her.
"Yes. I have briefed Lord Damian along the way and he has sent word to his armies to march forth."
"That may take time and you know it. If things are not properly down, his majesty would be in danger."
"We must think of a plan just in case," Lord Kane advised.
"Simple then. Everyone fears the might of his majesty's alpha army. But Caspian only controls them and not his guards."
"Your suggestion, my queen?"
"This is what we would do."
No sooner had they finished talking and were preparing to leave when Era heard someone call to her.
"Your majesty! Your majesty, is that you?"
They all turned in the direction of the voice and saw his majesty's not too fat but a bit chubby eunuch racing down to meet her with a young man behind him.
"Your majesty," he cried out again bowing his head as his lackey followed after him.
"Yes?"
"Thank goodness you are safe, your majesty. Thank goodness." He looked like he was about to cry especially with the way he clenched unto his chest and struck at it thrice. ????
"Your majesty, where did you go?" I have searched everywhere for you."
Sensing danger coming as Era did not know of the earlier lies and his pretence, Jordan spoke up quickly.
"I told you her majesty went for a stroll with her maid. Why did you have to ask her that?"
Clicking his tongue against the roof of his mouth. "My apologies your grace. It was nothing."
At first, she and Lord Damian were shocked but later they calmed down. He just proved to be a friend and not a foe.
"Yes, he is right I went for a stroll. Any problem?" Era quickly took on the role that Jordan laid out for hér.
"No. It is just that the closest city to the palace had been attacked and his majesty ran there to save them but when the thought of all of this begin a ploy his majesty was unwilling to personally lead the troop so he could take you to safety but you were nowhere to be found."
Her shock was visible to all to see. She did not need some time to tell her. Now she knew why he was out there.
"And that was when Jordan... "
"Wait Jordan?" She paused, before directing her gaze at the young lad. He lifted his head so she could see a look of his gender and face. "Jordan." She voiced out more calmly now.
"Apologies for not being able to come pay my respect sooner, your grace. Honestly, someone forbade it."
"Ahem!" Eunuch Evans cleared his throat, reminded Jordan not to speak further.
"My apologies truly."
"It is okay. So?"
"Taking his word for it, scared for the first time in his life, he was scared for you and was scared the Slyerians would only end up killing you as well. He charged into battle because of me."
"How is that for me?"
She argued lightly, earning herself confused a look. "His Majesty ran into battle, for your sake."
"Your majesty," Lord Kane called her using a reminding tone.
"I know." This matter just became extremely urgent. Turning to face Kale and Damian, she commanded. "Proceed as promised. I would come soon. I need to handle this."
"Sure, your grace."
"We await your command."
They nodded at her and gave in to carry out their duties.
"Your majesty, now that you are safe, I believe his majesty would be okay. We can send word to him through the messenger hawk that you are okay. He would be at peace then and would..."
As Evans spoke, he failed to notice the sudden change in her aura from confused to fully aware and downright cold outlook like a determined soldier.
"It is a trap and he fell for it because of me."
"What? What do you mean by it is a trap?" Evans questioned.
"This." She pulled the paper out and handed it over to him.
Taking it, Evans opened it with a few shaky fingers and read. Not wanting to be left out, the eager Jordan peered through from the side and read it as well.

At the same time, their eyes opened at what they read causing both to face each other in shock and then peel their gaze towards Era.
"Your majesty, what are we going to do? We need to ride out on time or you command Caspian to go render an assist," Evans suggested.
"Given what I heard, he is commanding the King's Alpha Armies. This means I cannot command him. The Caspian I know, would not go."
They all fell silent as though a walking dead suddenly appeared before them.
She was right to believe that. The whole palace if not the kingdom knows about their feud and he may not believe her.
"Who knows what that snake may be thinking," Jordan hissed, earning him a puzzled look from Era.
He had been wandering around the palace lately since Vidor made him his royal ward due to less work to do.
He did not know why but he had always suspected Caspian to be hiding something and the other day, he saw a strange-looking man come out of his chambers and he hid.
He didn't hear them say anything.
He just saw Caspian nod at one of his guards and they bowed, leading the strange man away.
