CHAPTER 181
"What is the reason why Vidor hates the feminine gender?"
Damian heaved out another sigh. He did not know how he was going to answer this and give him a concrete explanation.
The truth of the matter was that nobody knew. No one knows why the king hated them when the previous queen was his mother.
Yes, he never got to meet her, but it was not reason enough to produce such hate. He grew up opposite of how his father grew up. He was dark from childhood. His heart wasn't so good when it came to war strategies and blocking people out.
Everyone knew that although he acted that way, his father always loved him and tried to make him love something about life.
In all, the only thing he loved was WAR.
"I honestly do not know, your majesty. Like I said, at a point, people thought he was into men before he married you. Most still thought he used it as a coverage. I know soon you would be pestered for an heir."
"I see. I do believe he is not into men though but perhaps a lady did something to him that made him hate the female gender so much."
"Anyways, we have the assembly later today. We need to prepare our ones for what is to come. He would not take things lying down a no we need to be on the lookout for those who would want to divert this to you. Their plan failed so everyone would be on a low key."
"Yes. Do not worry, I am mentally prepared for what they have to throw at me. It is high time we get this out and move on with our lives."
"Alright. Since that is all, I would take my leave now, your majesty. Do enjoy your rest before the assembly."
"You too."
Damian smiled at her. "I am afraid your grace, I cannot have such rest. His majesty requested my presence once I arrived at the palace since I wasn't at breakfast."
Her lips tugged upwards to the side. "And yet you came to see his wife first. Tsk, might I remind you that he can be jealous madly possessive?"
"Ah, I see you have known him well enough to that extent, your majesty."
"Well from what I have seen, he is. He got into an argument with Jordan before and when Jordan got cornered, he..." she took a pause, recalling what had happened and how Damian was blamed for not letting Vidor know she wanted to come.
"What is the matter, your grace?"
"Nothing." She shook her head, smiling at why Vidor wanted him. "You see, I think I know why he wants you."
"Pray, do tell, your majesty."
"Jordan tried to divert Vidor's anger, so he said something about my wanting to go to the battle. You left that out when you filled him in and he got angry. First that I thought of going a no second that..."
"That I failed to inform him. I see. That naughty Jordan. This was why I did not let him know to avoid him getting angry, I think it was unavoidable. Alright, I better go answer the angry king's call then."
"Yes. Sure Hahhaa... You have my best wishes."
"Thank you, your majesty."

~SLYERIA~
After Yonder escaped, he returned to Slyeria with all the strength left in him. He was already losing so much strength from the fight with Vidor and to make matters worse he was injured.
Not stopping for one minute, they rode in anger back to their kingdom, fleeing Etheria while they still had time.
In the dark chambers, Yonder was seen standing close to the window in his chambers as he gazed out into the night sky.
He got home safe and immediately had the physician tend to him. Once Vidor's knife was gone, he was treated properly. Only then did he calm down and enjoy what he could about his life.
Now that it was evening, he could not stop thinking about why things happened the way they did.
KNOCK!
"Come in."
He did not have time to second guess. He gave an instruction earlier and he hoped it was his messenger that had returned to him.
The door opened with a creak as a young man entered, closing the door behind him.
He bowed his head before Yonder, even though he was not seeing him and waited for his instructions.
"Rise. What is the status?"
Immediately they crossed the border of Etheria, he had one of his soldiers resist somewhere and sneak in to get information from his messenger in Etheria's palace.
It had been a day and now his messenger had returned. He was looking forward to the news.
"They are happy for their victory but are yet to celebrate."
"I see. Anything else? How about that snake, Caspian?"
"My Lord, we cannot get to him now but one thing was sure, he remains in the palace as though nothing has happened."
"I should have known, that old fool is just a sly and funny fox. I should have killed him when I had the chance and flee Etheria. At least that way, I would have taken away Vidor's support and confidence."
"About that, he also reported that from the news going around the palace, Lord Caspian may have lost King Vidor's Favour."
"What?!"
He snapped his head to the side but even that was not enough. This news was blowing. How come he was not aware in the first place?
"However, I think that may be rumours maybe to pull us off their plans'" the young man explained.
"Hmm." He turned around fully, placing a hand on his jaw while supporting with the other. "Gideon, what are you insinuating?"
"I think Lord Caspian still has King Vidor's Favour because if it were otherwise, would he still give him the King's armies to lead?"
"Lead? Yes."
0_0
"What is it, My Lord?"
"As I said, that snake. Or have you forgotten that it was the King's Alpha armies that came to Vidor's rescue? He was supposed to make sure that Vidor would get no aid and leave with minimal soldiers. So how come he let them? Simple. I think he was planning on double-crossing us in the first place. He was using us."
"As we were using him. Do you think he saw through your plans?" Gideon asked.
"I doubt. This is because if he did, he would have given himself away."
"But it is suspicious though. I heard he was in the palace, standing his ground and waiting for his majesty summon."
"But that very army came to Vidor's rescue. I believe Vidor or him were playing us. They had him secretly send out the army while keeping a fake front in the palace. I was stupid to think he would be useful. He should just wait. I would make sure he pays very well for what he did."
"Got it, sir."
"However, we would need to figure out everything. So before I take my revenge against him, I would make sure to get the truth and if I find out he betrayed me, I would kill him where he stands. Since he is useless to me and his king."
"And if not, I would give him a chance to prove himself and use him again."
"I trust your wisdom, Lord Yonder."
"Of course. I should be able to plan such a strategy. Vidor may have thought he won today but he should wait. I would soon make him pay for this humiliation."
"Yes sir. And oh, have you been able to see his majesty since your return?"
"I have not. Honestly speaking, I have been thinking how to put this to hos majesty without sounding foolish that I was double-crossed by that sly fox. I should be the dreaded one and not him."
"Worry not, My Lord. This is just a minor setback. We lost, they lost too. I believe that is why they are hit celebrating just yet. Theirs died a lot. If not for Vidor we would have extinguished them before their backup came."
"True but Vidor was the goal. Sigh, I gave Caspian one task and he flopped. He would get a present from me." He moved past his messenger and made his way to his chair. Sitting against the cushion, he relaxed his body, allowing the chair to swallow him and give him that comforting feeling.
"I need to relax. Find me some good girls. One's that are pleasant in sight and mind. I need some massage while also expending some energy, if you know what I mean, Gideon."
"As you wish, My Lord."
"Sigh, if only Vidor was this easy with girls, we would have gotten him dead by now. Too bad he is into men."
"About that My Lord. I doubt. He has his queen and they shared a public moment, the second he returned from the battle."
"YOU SAID WHAT?!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
