CHAPTER 160
Though Jordan wanted to follow after them, he was soon caught by the king's Eunuch, Evans who thought he was being mischievous.
By the time he shook him off, he had lost them.
Do not worry. Look for a safe place though and protect yourselves."
"What about you?" Jordan asked. "If anything happens to you, his majesty would be devastated."
"I'm sorry. I cannot say but I need to ensure this trap is averted lest everyone blame me and accuses me of treason again."
"We understand. Please be safe. I cannot fathom what his majesty would do to all of us if we were to allow anything to happen to you."
"I would be safe. I have to." He handed her the paper but she shook her head. "Keep it safe till my return. Who knows, regardless, I would be safe."
She let out a sigh and turned around. 'If not for anything but for my revenge and ensuring Eleora lives a carefree life and grow up to be the Queen she deserves to be. I must stay alive.' she finalized in her mind.
With her resolve so strong, she waved at the other two, not bothering with whatever was in their mind.
That was right, she needed to change if she wanted to go with them. So speed was what she needed.
Getting to their meet g point at the eye of the forest, they were lucky to have successfully rounded up the King's guard. Thankfully, Evans saw him and spoke to him that the king was in danger and he had to follow the queen's every command and he did.
So rounding them up wasn't much of a hassle for her and when she saw Damian again, she requested a change of clothes, so she could move freely.
"Your majesty, as much as I love your determination and resolve, you are still but a lady. You shouldn't go into battle."
"Lord Damian. This is my call, woman or not. He is king. I know I need to be there. "
"You would only burden him and what if somehow, you get caught huh? What if things get out of hand, do you think Etheria would be safe in the hands of Caspian?"
"And that is why I have you and trust you."
"Then trust that Vidor would return safely and none of this would be blamed on you. Even if things went out of hand and we lose, I would ensure Vidor knows you are alive and send his ring through someone to you to make you regent and ruler till we can escape or something. I would not put my fate if we are caught in Caspian. He would have us dead than do anything."
"But..."
"No buts."
"I can fight!"
"You may be trained, your majesty but this is war. I have lost those I cherish before, do not make me lose you too. I know my daughters' case and yours are not the same but Queen Era, this is a matter of a kingdom. Be wise. Stand ground here. I also instructed some of my men to come to Etheria's palace should I case Caspian does something if anything happens to us."
"No Lord Damian, please no."
"I am sorry, but you need to be strong and be prepared. Those orphans need you and Ora, she needs you more. Please be careful. Just wait here and they would come to meet you. Who knows what Caspian would do in this heat. You could be killed in the guise of a war conspiracy."
"Fine. I have heard you, keep Vidor safe and above all, come back to me."
"I will."
He was tempted to hug her just to assure her that it would be fine. She was okay to be scared. The last war that happened took everyone from her. This, she hoped it won't take her allies too and leave her alone with her enemy.
Taking one last look at her, he paid his respect, bowing to her and then went for his horse.
They weren't so much, but a small army of about 1000 guards could do more harm than good and help out the main battle team till his men arrived.
They all bowed to her as she held strong, determination filling her eyes and waved them her best wishes.
"We have one goal," Damian's voice rang out. "Ensure that his majesty returns safely to the castle while protecting our people."
"Yes sir!"
"We March out."
Her heart was full, her chest was heavy, yet it did not compare to the thudding of her heart in her chest.
She did not know if her fears were because of not wanting to be accused wrongly or it was he heart who was happy it won the battle against her mind but was still scarred from the one man she hated that stole her first kiss and second.
Regardless of which, Era found herself for the first time, praying for the safety of Vidor and Etheria's warriors.

~Battle Ground~
All through his journey, he kept his eyes out for her but he saw her not and that had troubled him greatly. She was supposed to be out here.
At that moment he could not think of the fact that she could have betrayed him or not, no. All he had in his mind was her safety.
If she wasn't here, did they get news of her and captured her? If that was so, what kind of suffering or torture was she's going through?
His headache only worsened with the series of thoughts racing through his mind. What could be going on?
He looked up to the skies. Was this just another curse? If yes, he had offended the witches and brought this upon himself.
He prayed to whichever God was seated above, begging not for his safety but for the safety of one whose gender he was supposed to hate.
Peeling his gaze down a notch, he looked ahead, they were close already.
From where they were, he could see the fire burning outside the gate and the sounds of people fighting.
Without a second thought, he charged. "Hyah! On me!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
