CHAPTER 26

"That is all. Leave my room and never return. This should be the last time you ever barge in without following protocol and waiting for my approval to see you. Honestly do yourself and me a favour and not show your face to me aside the necessary times for appearance sake."

With that, he lowered his gaze and sat back down, ignoring her or how much his words had hurt her just now and focused on the work he was tending to prior to her rude intrusion.

Era breathed heavily with mouth agape. A few seconds later, she half-smiled and then pursed her lips close. "So shall it be!"

With that, she turned around and stormed out of the room.

Her anger was not yet pacified. She was even angrier at him now more than ever.

It was best what he ordered. She did not want to see his face anyway. So what made him think that she wanted him or his lavished lifestyle?

She was a princess in a not too great kingdom but she lived well and so did her people. In fact, there wasn't so much difference between the normal rich people in her kingdom and the royals.

That was how much her father tried his best to give everyone equality and make them feel like one in all ramifications.

"What would he know anyway? He has had things handed to him on a silver platter and now he lectures me on my father being… Urghh, I hate him! He is a monster. That is what he is and what he would always be. A monster with good looks. God wasted those looks on him."

She muttered in anger as she marched to her room in great strides.

She had just recently returned from where she hid the children in the forestlands and did not even bother to go meet her maids and rushed there in anger to see Vidor.

Perhaps not a wise choice but she was going to fix things quickly. At least he would not be bothered about her whereabouts or what she was up to.

Now she could easily find a place for the children after ordering their evacuation from that horrid place and think of a way forward for them. Get them things needed for a normal child and watch them grow.

She may not be able to save the millions of lives out there but she was going to start from what or where she could and move her way forward till the day she set them all free from this bondage they called life.

"If this is my price to pay, I would willingly pay it. I may yet be the only one to stop all these. Queen mother, I pray for your guidance in controlling my temper and give me insight on how to do the needful and carry on your will."

She clutched her hands to her chest and closed her eyes as she said those words in a whisper and walked back to her room.

Meanwhile, her maid had been running up and down frantically in search of her mistress. Immediately Era had left with the horse, she got so scared and went to inform Aeverie of the evil done to her master.

At first, Aeverie was speechless and before they knew it she was a frantic, panicked mess.

They had been going everywhere in search of her all day but they did not find her. Apparently, they waited for some time after their search but still could not find her.

In as much as Aeverie wanted to alert the whole palace about what had happened, she decided to wait first? If by evening the queen was not back, she intended to let all hell break loose in search of her majesty.

However, the more they waited, the more it seemed like they were waiting for all eternity and Era was not going to come back.

Apparently, Azzura was not cut out for such and she broke. "Oh, Aeverie ma, this is killing me."

Aeverie was shocked by her outward hearing as she paced around the room, throwing her hands up in the air every now and then.

"Calm down, Azzurra. Let's wait."

"Wait? What if something pretty bad did happen and her majesty got severely injured and she is losing blood severely that is why she is stuck, huh? What would you say then?"

Aeverie took in a deep breath. She was understanding the worrywart all too well but she needed her to understand her as well.

"I know and do you think it does not break me thinking about it, hmm? It does, but we cannot make any rash decisions."

"But Ma Aeverie, this is all a ploy. There is no way that the head attendant in the stable did not know how dangerous that horse was and still choose to allow her majesty to ride it. We must report this case."

"And we will. But do not forget that her majesty is not yet favoured by his majesty. So even if it is a big problem, he might ignore it, giving her enemies more chance over her. We need to wait a bit. One more hour and I can take the necessary action."

"But I still think we get the culprit while we wait just to be…"

BANG!

GASP!
