CHAPTER 58 – How Did This Happen?

As soon as he left there after giving some necessary instructions, Vidor returned immediately to his room, ignoring every other thing anyone wanted to say to him especially Caspian.

'Why are all these things happening to me all of a sudden?' Vidor thought within himself. 

'Why did she try to take her life? Does she think I would let her go so easily? But I really hope she survives and everything becomes normal.'

He paused in his pacing and looked around. It was at this time that Vidor noticed he had been pacing all around his room and poring the drink in his hand along the way subconsciously.

He peeled his gaze off the annoying trail of spilled drink that was on the ground and looked at the glass cup in his hand.

"Oh come on! Aish! What have I done? How did this happen?' He lamented to himself.

"Why am I so bothered about her like this?" He downed the content remaining and drank the last wine before throwing away the cup way on his bed and luckily for him it didn't roll off nor fall away.

Letting out a deep sigh, he reached up to his hair with both hands and got some locks tangled in his fingers. For a while he left his hands there before finally letting his hair go free.

"What is going on with me? Why am I not at ease? Why is everything just going scattered for me? Why is my mind no longer at peace with itself? This is the first time in my life that this actually happened to me. What punishment is this?" Vidor continued to question himself.

"It is not like her family or kingdom that I first crushed, so why now does a lady that means nothing to me now have such dire effect on me? No, this must be that witches curse and nothing more. I must find out what is wrong and what to do to fix it."

With that resolve a light glint flashed in his eyes. To him there was hope now. He was going to fix it all. 

Just as he was about taking a step towards the door, a thought crept into his mind and he halted in his steps.

"Wait. Where am I going to seek help from? I killed virtually all of them then and if there be any still surviving, they would not have mercy on me to help me out. Worst case scenario, I may end up having more curses placed on me. No. I cannot afford another problem such as this again."

He closed his eyes and retraced his steps towards his bed to finally sit and enjoy the comfort it provided but unfortunately for him, even that was eroded quickly.

All of a sudden he heard a deafening laughter and he turned around to see who it was. However, no matter how many times he checked, he did not see anyone.

"Stop it."

"Hahahaaa…. Hahhaaa…."

But having waited a while he saw no one nor did he hear the voice again and became calm but his heart was still worried.

Worried that someone was watching him, worried that Era was going to be lost, worried that his doom had just began and he may not know how to escape it.

"What if she survives it now and attempts to kill herself again? What have I done? Why is she my torment?"

Feeling his frustration rush over him again, Vidor resigned himself tp his fate and lay down to sleep. "If I perish, then I do. If I can find a solution then I will. I would not ponder over it again and go to bed. I am after all, the one and only true king."

***

"Haha hahhaa… Hahhaa haaahahhaaa… Hahahaaaaa…" The way the voice sounded gave him an eerie feeling that he could not explain. It felt like things were only becoming more and more terrible.

The next thing he knew, he found himself in a complete void. Darkness was everywhere and in that darkness, he heard the same voice again, this time louder than before and even closer than the last.

"Stop it and come out, whoever you are!" Vidor yelled out in anger.

"Hahhaaahhhhaahha…"

"Come on out and stop being a coward."

"Coward? Wow. I am not the one cowering in fear now am I? How come I am the one being called a coward? Or is it that the great and mighty king Vidor is scared out of his wits that all he has are power in the fist and is scared of the unknown?"

"It is useless speaking with a ghost. You are just made up, nothing more."

"I pity Etheria for having such a weakling for a king. You want to see me? Tah! Who told you, you have the right to see me, huh? Hahhahaaa… the time has come. You wonder who I am? Do not worry, I would let you see."

"Ypou better just stop acting and then perhaops I can spare you. Come out!" Vidor commanded yet again.

"How dare you think you can kill one who has already been killed or have ypou fprgotten? I would help your memory."

As she finished saying that, the next thing Vidor saw left him tongue tied and shock beyond words.

Like a great gush of wind, she came to stand before him, as close as anyone had ever being before, suddenly appearing out of the blue.

"Ah!" For a moment there, he forgot who he was as king and yelled out in fear. He took the opportunity to look at her well. She was beautiful and wearing a nice dark green gown, coupled with how stylishly her hair was made and packed, she looked nothing more like the voice.

"Scared? You make me sick!" she yelled into his face causing him to stumble backwards at the sudden attack.

"Vidor! Remember. I look tattered then but this was the real me. A woman of grace and beauty, adored by her kind but you reduced me to this."

"Ahh!"
