CHAPTER 42

By the time Era went back to her room, she was already exhausted brain wise and only wanted to rest her head. It was obvious and plain as day that she was alone and to herself.

There was no need trying to please anyone of them. Rather she was going to guard and stand for herself and all those around her.

Taking in deep breath, Era turned towards her maids and smiled at them. Since she arrived, they had been waiting for her to say something about her meeting with the king but she did not say a thing to them. Only for her to turn around now and give them a smile.

They were all worried as hell about what might have gone wrong. Not being able to take it again, Aeverie finally spoke out.

"Your majesty," Aeverie began but when she saw Era smile brighten even more, she went speechless.

"Ignore it, Aeverie. I am a queen with an empty title after all."

Everyone stared at her with unbelieving eyes. No this was something else. What really had gone wrong in that meeting. Out of every one of them who gazed at her with disbelief, only Aeverie came out fo the shock quickly and engaged her in a discussion.

"I refuse to believe any of what you said, your majesty. You are not a queen with an empty totle. It may seem so now biut I believ as long as you believe you are not and those around you do too, especially us, then people would eventually see it."

Era's smile broadened. Thos was exactly what she was talking about. She loved Aeverie and cherished her mad faith in her.

"Although we may not look much or we do not matter, I believe that in time, your deeds would actually change the minds, heart and thoughts of people towards you. Even the king would have a change of heart too, your grace."

Another bursting smile appeared on her face as she made her way to stand in front fo Aeverie.

"I love your faith and devotion. Thank you, Aeverie. I said that, not because I am that but just to see your reaction. They want me to feel that way and act that way and leave them to control the reins of the kingdom. No problem. I would but I would soon make that change."

"Rhat is the spirit, your grace. Do not worry. You are more than this and you conviction can move mountain. Just relax. All would be well. I trust the late queen and when I see her good in you, I have greater faith. Etheria would see the dawn of a new day again. Until them my queen, ignore his majesty and gain his trust slowly."

"How do you propose I do that when he has refused that I ever show my face before him again?"

"Do not worry. He is a man after all and men has needs."

"I doubt if he does. Besides, I am not going t ooffer myself to him, not now, not ever."

"Mind what you say, my queen. The tongue has power. I refuse that for your marriage. If not how else do you think you are going to produce the kingdom a heir and have a lovely child to cater for?"

"Why does it seem like you are forgetting who the father would be? I do not want him to taint the pure soul of my unborn child. I do not want him to corrupt his ways and turn him into another monster."

"Do not say that. I believe his majesty would love his own son with his heart. Just be calm. I know he has angered you and make you say the things you say bit when you get to know him…"

"Wait," Era said, cutting her short with a wave of her hand. "You said get to know him?"

"Yes. How else were you planning on changing him? To do that, you have to know him."

Era peeled her gaze from Aeverie's face and looked down. She knew she said those words but now with the way the two of them were, she was worried if that change would now be a reality.

Nevertheless, due to her determination, she looked back up and managed a small smile at her Lady royal.

"Fine. I would not give up hope on Vidor. As long as there is life, there is hope."

"Good, my queen. Do not forget, we are here to support you," Arya reminded her.

Era's smile brightened. She loved her maids, they may not be the best of people but they were her best right after her family.

"I also believe that if your majesty has a little son running around, it would bring more joy to you and why bother about him being corrupted by his father when your pureness and righteousness is there? All you have to do is to envelop him with your love. I believe your love would rule out any evil ways," Azzura added.

"Thank you all so very much. It means a lot to me."

"We have already pledged our allegiance to you, my queen. All you have to do is be calm and watch. Wait for the right time to strike and prove to these people that you are not a mere joke. Do not be impulsive again. Do not make rash decisions. Put them in their place, step by step."

"Alright. I would behave better."
