CHAPTER 62
'Perhaps why this happened to you was so you would have a firsthand experience and know exactly how others feel and you would then be the best person for the job in bringing true freedom to all. At the same time, I sympathize with you and I wished it did not have to happen to you.' Aeverie thought.
With her thoughts settled, she opened the door, took one last glance at Era and then left, closing it behind her.
As soon as the door's closing sound reached her ears, Era raised her head. Her eyes were bright red a sign of how much she had been crying even from her dreams.
She deliberately allowed her mind to go down memory lane to the mishap that had occurred before. Yes, it was brutal and not what she needed for her health but she was not happy allowing the dream to end that way.
She wanted to know more. Know what had indeed happened to her sister.
She saw the heads of her parents but not once did she see the head of her younger sister.
"Eleora. What happened to you?"
She recalled everything and when she got to the end of her dream, her eyes flew open. She did not see what had occurred, just that her younger sister was still with her parents when Caspian arrived and given how ruthlessly he killed those other children, she did not expect him to show mercy especially when they were her own family.
Her mind flashed back at the scene when he killed those little children and her heart ached so much.
"Eleora, my love. I am sorry. I am so sorry you had to go through all that," Era wept some more.
It really did hurt her and she wanted more than anything to gouge out the eyes and cut the limbs of Caspian more than anything till he felt a pain worse than what her people felt.
"Do not worry. I promise you, your killer would not go scot-free. I would visit the misery you faced upon them and their household, seven-folds. I promise you that."
Even though she said her resolve, her heart still did break. Closing her eyes, she fell back down on the bed and crouched her pillow close to her chest as she continued to pour out her heart.
***
By the time the news got to Vidor of her waking, it was already late noon. As she had commanded, Aeverie did not disobey her in allowing anyone to come in to greet her. Even her maids were refused entry, especially Caspian that came to check in on her.
Lord Damian as well, was dismissed too. Out of everyone, it was only the physician that Aeverie thought was necessary to enter but even at that, she first sought permission from Era and only when she gave her the go-ahead, did she allow him passage.
So when Vidor arrived, he was first of all pissed that he wasn't informed but Aeverie had the perfect excuse to give to him.
"I am sorry, my king but the queen gave a strict and clear warning not to allow anyone in. So I had to remain here to follow her instructions. Besides, your majesty is busy with matters of the kingdom, so I dared not disturb you."
"Hmm…" he wanted to get angry at Aeverie but when he pondered more on the matter, he knew she was only following strict instructions not to allow anyone in.
From his heart of heart, he knew he was the number one person and the sole reason why that strict instruction was given.
"Fine, I would not punish you because you were only following instructions. I hope you would not stand in my way and let me see her."
"I am sorry, my kin, but I cannot allow that as well."
"You said? How dare you even speak before the king, let alone be a stumbling block before him?" One of the guards yelled at her.
Aeverie did not move or flinch, instead, she shot him a cold glare and then returned her gaze to the king. "I hope his majesty would understand, even I, her lady royal that she virtually needs my assistance is banned from entering except she stated otherwise."
"You dare compare yourself to his grace?" The other guard that came with the king yelled as well.
"Your majesty, I dare not." She knelt down quickly before him with her head bowed. "Her majesty is still not strong and as the physician reported, she needs more rest and no disturbance at all. I am only adhering to her strict rules. Besides, if we want her to recuperate faster, we must adhere to the physician's warning and do the needful."
"Hmm…"
"Please understand, your grace. I dare not try to struggle with you. Forgive this humble maid and come back another day."
"Insolence…" The guard stepped forward, ready to lift Aeverie up and put her aside but before he could take any action, Vidor moved his right hand to the side to block and stop him.
"I am still here. Behave," he commanded.
"My apologies your grace. I never intended to be disrespectful."
"Apologies, your majesty," the second guard too, apologized.
"Hmm…" he ignored them and dropped his hand then turned his attention to Aeverie. "Rise. I would not go in today. I would return to check up on her some other time."
"No need to stress yourself over this issue, your majesty. We would send word once she gets better, then you would not have to waste your time every now and then."
"You still…"
"Mind, your manners. You are in my presence," Vidor bellowed, sending chills down their bodies.
"Forgive us, my king."
'Hmm, she still doesn't want to see me and this lady royal is something else. Hmm, well let's see how long she can deny me.'
"Fine. Take care of her and do not allow a repetition of what happened to occur again."
'Most definitely, your majesty.. Thank you for your concern."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
