CHAPTER 55
The more he thought about the ache ha had to go through these years, his eyes began to water. He was bound from being close to fifty feet from them, else Vidor would feel threatened and kill them.
Yes, Era was a clear reminder of how ruthless Vidor was and no one better than him knew that this whole charade was as a result of the people surrounding him.
'Sigh, poor queen.'
Just as he finished saying that, he looked to his side where her chambers were and to his surprise, he saw someone standing close to the window.
'What is she…?'
***
Meanwhile, Era remain seated in her room looking like one who was done with life. Her maids had tried all they could to get her talking but she refused.
She was in so much pain and the only thing she did was cry and wail every now and then.
Surprisingly, when she heard about the news of the party her maids spoke about, she did not say anything but walked past them.
After some minutes passed, she finally dismissed them and sat down alone.
For over one hour since the party started, Era did not say anything or do anything. Instead, she sat down, not crying but thinking.
'Even in their death, he has the guts to honour my parent's killers, his in-laws' murderers with a lavish party. Has he no shame?' Era thought within her.
She scoffed after some time.
'It was a mistake. I was a fool to expect anything more from such a heartless monster. It is of no use remaining again. There is nothing worth fighting for.'
She stood from her seat finally and sluggishly made her way to the window. For a long time, she did not do anything but stared at the open sky.
Finally, a proud smile formed on her lips and she brought out something from her gown's pocket.
Unknown to her, Lord Damian was standing below her chambers and watching her every move. The way she stood there looking lifeless was more than enough to tell him that she was gone in mind and all that remained was ha body, void and empty.
So when she brought out an object, he was not surprised. He took a step forward and paused, seeing as she did not do anything and kept on staring at the sky.
Unfortunately for him, that was a wrong move to have waited as the next thing that happened before his eyes, left him mouth wide in shock.
Era lifted her left hand a bit, "I would see you soon, dad, mum." She mumbled some words to herself and the next thing, she brought her right hand holding the small blade and slashed at her wrist.
Within seconds, blood began to form and flow on her hand and down her elbow staining her white lovely gown.
"Wait, don't do it. NOO!!"
Ignoring everything else, Damian threw caution to the wind and rushed through the front door, racing with all he got and pushing people from his way till he got to her chambers.
By the time he got there, two guards stood outside guarding her room. Upon arrival, they drew their spears together, preventing him from entering.
"Lord Damian, my apologies but as pertaining to the king's order. No man shall go in without proper authorization to do so."
"What the… Get out of my way, she is in trouble." He rushed in, pushing at their spears and they forced him back.
"Do not force us to draw our swords, Lord Damian."
"Get the heck out of my bloody way, you imbecile!" he roared in anger, seeing that they were not ready to yield.
Still their resolve did not change and they were ready for action. They feared him but they feared the king more. He was cunning and powerful. No one could afford to be killed just like that for another person.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" He drew his sword, ready to battle it out with them. Of course, it was going to be an easy victory. "Get out now or I kill you and take the blame but I wonder what his majesty would do to you first if he finds out that the queen is dying and you refuse to allow in help his queen."
"And how are we sure this is not a ploy by you to help her escape and put us in trouble?"
"Then I would not have come by this time and with just me. Her majesty is committing suicide. Now get out of my way."
Saying that he charged forward at them, throwing them away from his path and rushing in, to save Era.
"Lord Damian!" the first yelled, getting up but was soon stopped by the second soldier. "What are you doing? We would be in trouble if his majesty finds out."
"Have you ever seen him like that? Come, he might be saying the truth. If her majesty is dying.."
Knowing the implication of them allowing her to die, both soldiers wasted no time and rushed in too.
The moment Damian got in, he saw Era on the floor close to the window with blood on the ground where her hand laid.
For a moment there, he was at a loss of words of what to do. He was shocked. She barely looked like she was breathing but on a closer look, she was.
At first, he hesitated from touching her, considering she was still the king's bride but then, he could not just stay and watch her kill herself. That was not the end to life even if things were not favourable.
'Come on, Damian, snap out of it and help her!' he screamed within him.
As soon as he bent down to lift her up, the soldiers ran in and met him kneeling, about to carry her. Their mouth hung agape with their tongues out. Never would they have believed.
Right before their eyes, they watched him pick her up but did not say anything.
"Stop standing there like morons and get me a clean cloth and clean bowl of water! Now!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
