CHAPTER 63
"Most definitely, your majesty. Thank you for your concern."
With that, he turned around and took his leave. As the guards followed behind him, they each snarled at Aeverie but no matter how pissed they were, they could do nothing to her.
"Sigh! Good riddance."
Although she said that, but she did not mean Vidor but to the two guards scurrying more favour through the situation.
She could tell that they were good for nothings bribed and working for Caspian and that was why they wanted to throw her out of the way so they had news to report to the sly fox hiding in the palace.
'Look at them. Do they think I do not want him to enter? More than anyone, I am the one who wants the king and queen to settle and become man and wife. I do not want her to suffer anymore and his being here is an indication that something indeed is about to happen. He may regret hs actions and is seeking ways to fix things. If not would he bother coming here?'
Sigh!
'And the king I know would have cut my head for refusing him entry, yet he behaved like a perfect gentleman and left. What is he planning anyway? I hope it is nothing evil because her fragile heart would break if any other ill thing befalls her.'

Just as Aeverie has predicted those two ingrates were indeed working for Caspian.
As soon as they got the chance, they rushed away to go find him and deliver the needful.
"Dammit. I said I smell something fishy," Caspian half yelled throwing his wine tumbler away.
"My Lordship, I think he is just doing what he said. He wants to ensure she suffers the pain of losing her people with nothing else she can do and obviously no backing," one of the guards suggested.
"As true as that may seem, I do not know why my heart does not feel at ease concerning this," Caspian explained.
He looked troubled but the guards did not know what to say to actually get him to be at ease. In that moment of awkwardness, Diona walked in without knocking.
"My lady," they instantly greeted while bowing down to her.
"Rise."
Taking a couple more steps in, she made her way to where her father stood and went to rest her hand on his shoulder.
"Remind me again why my father is moody when we should be in a merry situation?"
"Oh, Diona. I am sorry to have disturbed or bothered you but I do not know."
"Say it as it seems, father. I am here. We share each other's burden. Now, tell me what has troubled my father so much that he is gloomy? Did Vidor do something again to annoy you?"
"Caspian could not say yes to her question considering, the king did not really do anything wrong but then again it was his own worry that ate him up.
He looked at his daughter with caring eyes and smiled. "It is nothing to worry about, princess. I am fine. I am just thinking about something else," he lied.
"And why do I find that hard to believe? It is only the king and queen that can do something that affects your mood this way. Every other person dare not to annoy you."
"Spoken like my true child. Alright then, since you are adamant. I would let you in on it."
"Thanks, please come and have as it before you begin, father."
He did as she requested and once they were seated, he began. "I was just recently informed that he went there again to see her."
"Okay?" For Diona, she did nt see anything wrong in that. He is simply doing his duty as king.
"Just okay?" Caspian asked, stunned by her response.
"What else do you want me to respond or how?"
'He is going to check up on her," Caspian echoed again.
"I know. I heard clearly the first time."
"SO?"
"SO?"
That was it. Caspian was done accepting that tone from her. "He went there, that is why I am gloomy. Yesterday he said he did that to be sure she suffers what she deserves although I find it fishy as the Vidor I know, would not fail to execute Era but now he has failed to do that and is even ensuring that she lives. Doesn't that bother you?"
"No, father."
"What?"
A small smile appeared on her delicate face as she sat up well and looked keenly at her father.
"First of, you two may leave us," Diona instructed the guards.
"As you wish my lady. My lord, we would be on our way," the first guard said and they both took their leave.
Even at that, Diona still did not voice out her reason until she was sure they really had gone.
"It is like this, he is simply finishing the task for me. First, she is miserable and what joy other than that must I have. Secondly, she tried to take her own life, I feel so happy that words cannot describe my joy. If not for that nosy old fool that saved her first, I would have had my throne empty and waiting for me to ascend it."
"Okay. Continue."
"Now, unfortunately, she did not die. Yes, painful but then it has further torn BVidor and her, it would be so easy now to plant false evidences against her and with hwat had happened, everyone would see it as she trying to exact her revenge on Vidor and from there treason is bestowed and she is killed publicly. Meanwhile, I sit and watch and wait for him to come and make me his."
Caspian did not know whether to laugh or cry. In as much as it seems like she had gotten everything under control, he felt they over did things this time and they are pushing Vidor to Era.
'Sigh! I fear that our actions, is taking him away from Diona even more. He is sympathizing with Era, and trust men. No, I must do something..' Caspian thought.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
