CHAPTER 56

Right before their eyes, they watched him pick her up but did not say anything. It was when Damian noticed the blood still oozing out he recalled he missed a step.

Turning around with Era in his arms, he yelled at them. "Stop standing there like morons and get me a clean cloth and clean bowl of water! Now!" 

"Yes sir," they chorused and made their way around to get the required things. On the other hand, he rushed her to her bed and ensured her cut hand, was away from the bed to avoid ruining the sheets. In less than two minutes, both of them rushed back with what he has asked for.

Immediately, they handed it to him and stood aside, watching. Ignoring them for some seconds, Damian instantly went to work with rinsing her wound and tying her wrist.

"Don't just stand there," Damian complained. "You," he said pointing to the first. "Go get a physician and you," he pointed at the second guard.

"Yes, My Lord?"

"Hurry and inform his majesty that his queen is in danger and is fighting for her life."

"Yes sir," they both chorused, causing Damian to irk his brows. 

"And what are you," he pointed to the first guard. "Still doing here went I already gave you your assignment?"

"Sorry, my Lord."

Both of them dashed out of the room, to deliver the message given to them.

When Damian was sure they had gone, he turned his head towards Era. His eyes held some form of sadness within them just from looking at her.

Seeing what she was suffering further reminded him of how much his daughters were suffering and probably worst.

"I am sorry you came to suffer such terrible things, young one. It is unfortunate. One would think that getting married to him would signify ease and better life but who would have known that is a terrible fate that befell you?"

He took in a deep breath before checking up on her. She was still breathing, faintly though and to him, it meant she would survive it.

"Live on young one. You still have nations to free. I have seen you and watched you I have studied you, so I know, you would be better and the world would rejoice under your…"

BANG!

He turned around almost instantly to see the physician rushing in. "My Lord," he said between pants.

"Yes, Doctor Louis, you came right on time. Save her please."

"Yes, my Lord. I would do my best."

"You must save her actually. 

"Noted. Please if you would excuse me, My Lord."

"Oh yes." He stepped out of the way to grant him entrance with both hands at his back.

Silently, he watched and prayed in his mind. Seeing her and her story made him think of his pearls and just like that he wished for her to be better as he would have them.

'Out of everyone now, you are having it worst. Even my pearls do not seem to be suffering the way you are. Aish, if Elrad had known, he would have surrendered rather than fight back to spare you from such hurt. I hate him for doing this to you, you know. I pray to the heavens that a miracle happens and you are well.'

After about three minutes of checking her, the physician turned around to look at him. "My Lord." He called first but Damian did not answer.

"My Lord?" He called again and got the same response. Apparently, he was left with no other option but to shout a bit because of Era. "My Lord!"

"Yes!" He said, jolting up where he stood.

"I am sorry to startle you, but I would need for everyone to step out. I need to begin immediate treatment. Thank you for aiding her first."

"Oh…" he blinked, he could still not believe he was lost in thought that way. "Yes. Yes. I am sorry."

Quickly he and the other guard that came with the physician exited the room, leaving him to do his work.

***

Meanwhile, once the second guard left, he made his way as fast as his legs could carry him to the ballroom. His eyes searched frantically amidst the crowd for the one man whose aura and composure could not stay hidden.

Unfortunately for him, no matter how hard he tried to find him, he didn't see him.

"Gosh, where his he when you need him? How can he just miraculously disappear?" The guard questioned himself, while still seeking him out.

Unknown to him, Vidor who had been in the party was not feeling the vibes he usually got from such occasions. Feeling lost and empty, he walked out to the balcony to have fresh air and get his mind working in the right direction again.

'Sigh! Why is it that until now, my heart is still pained and confused? What wrong have I done to her to deserve this kind of punishment?'

He scoffed and downed the wine in his glass till there was nothing left. 'I have no form of affection for her. In fact, I feel hatred towards her because of what her family did and she knew but went along with it. I thought she would be better. For crying out loud, she is married to me, how could she? I may not love her but she is naïve, why would she do this?'

No matter how hard he tried to search his brain for the right answer, he couldn't find it.

Rather it felt like is mind was moving in circles anytime he came close to finding out the answer.

"Damn you witch!" He cursed loudly. "Wouldn't you leave me alone till now? Aish!" Unknown to Vidor, someone watched him and when he looked a bit okay, he stepped out from hiding.

"Your Grace."

"Who dares disturb me?" Vidor questioned without turning around.

"It s your humble servant. I dare not but I believe this celebration is for ypur glory and you shouldn't miss it."

"Caspian, fine, let's go in."

"Your Majesty, the Queen has fallen."
