CHAPTER 27
"But I still think we get the culprit while we wait just to be…"
BANGGG!
GASP!
They all had their hand to their chest as they were so shocked by how the door pushed open and who had the courage and audacity to do just that.
But when they turned to see who it was, to their utmost dismay, it was Era.
"Your majesty!"
"My Queen!"
"You are back!"
Joy erupted on their faces instantly and before Era could register what was happening, all four of her maids had rushed towards her and almost hugged her but because of her identity.
"Ypur majesty…" They could not say anything more than that and she watched them in confusion as tears began to gather in their eyes.
After a while Era smiled, seeming to understand that they had just missed her because she was gone for too long and did not see her to even give any reportto.
Unknown to her, as true as that was, it was because it was on a whole new level and deeper at that.
She smiled at them genuinely before closing the door behind her and with both hands behind her, she arched a brow at them waiting and hoping for an explanation for their touchy attitude.
"Okay girls, that is enough, allow her majesty to have some space, please."
'Let us just stay…"
'Azzura!" Aeverie called her name in a cautioning manner, preventing her from speaking.
Era quickly took note of this and knew something was up.
'Hmm, why are they all acting weird and what is it that Azzura wants to say that Aeverie prevents her from saying?' Era thought within her.
On the other hand, while Era had her own thought running through her mind, Aeverie also had hers going through her mind.
'Seeing as her majesty returned safe and sound, would there still be any need to alert her of what would have happened today? Or I should just keep shut and prevent any discord from being sown and find out the culprit myself?'
Aeverie wasn't so sure of what to do or what actions to take next other than leave it all to fate like this.
As though sensing the trouble in her Lady Royal's mind, Era did not say anything and instead took a step forward, ignoring them and made her way to one of the chairs in her living room and sat down, taking in deep breaths slowly.
Justa s she had presumed in her mind, she could sense that her maids had hurried over t where she sat and waited on her. Even with her eyes close she could also discern that Aeverie wad the one that matched up to her next and kept quiet.
'Great now I have got them. They cannot hide their worry and it is not because they missed me or anything but something else is going on. I wonder what it is…' She was thoughtful within her, trying her best to figure them out without the need to ask until it dawned on her.
'Hold on, don't tell me, they knew about my saddle being cut? Perhaps they had knowledge about it. Hmm, I shouldn't keep quiet about this any longer and speak to them. Besides, I would need their help first on how to get those kids and where to house them for the time being.'
"AHEM!"
All of them lifted their eyes to meet hers and were shocked to see her smiling but before they could even figure out what was indeed making her to smile, Era's smile dropped instantly.
"Your majesty."
Era raised her hands to stop them and stood back up. She walked on, moving towards the window and looking out into the far lands before sheopened her mouth to speak.
"I encountered quite a lot today." All the ladies in the room turned their heads, one to another and gave each other the same kind of look before returning their gaze to her.
"One speechlessly breathtaking and the other, painful."
GASP!
Azzura gasped and took a step forward, however before she could speak, Aeverie beat her to it.
"Your majesty, are you by any chance hurt in any way?" Her eyes dimmed as she assessed the queen careful but no matter how many times she searched, she could not see any injuries on the queen save for some dirt marks on her clothes.
Era turned around to look at her and gave her a weak smile. "Yes, I am hurt."
"Oh no!"
"Why didn't you say so soon, your majesty?" Alyx questioned taking a steo forward to stand close to Azzura.
In as much as she wanted and needed to go to her to tend to her, she just couldn't and had to restrain herself.
"Your majesty, we are sorry but what happened and where did you hurt yourself?" Aeverie questioned.
"Here." She pointed at the point below her left breast as she shut her eyes, reminiscing the events of today.
"Your majesty, I do not understand. But I do not see any blood," Aeverie inquired again.
"No my dear, Aeverie. Nt physical hurt. I am hurt here in my heart."
"Oh, it is a matter of the heart. Umm," she looked thoughtful as though she had understood what Era meant, thinking she spoke of her feelings and nothing more.
Era shook her head and said to her, "No."
"No?" Era nodded. "Why?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
