CHAPTER 64

'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.

"Besides, father, his actions now to make her suffer rather than allowing her to die is making things fall in place for me. When she is accused of treason later, everyone would understand considering he did not leave her alone but instead made her survive and got what was coming to him."

"In all, her death would be directed at his majesty and not you and then the kingdom would see us as its saviours," Caspian concluded for her.

"Exactly, my point, father."

"Fine. I understand your point of view but one question though."

"WHAT IS IT FATHER?"

"What if, just what if he ends up, having feelings for her?"

"Hhaahhaa… feelings? You said so yourself, he is cursed and incapable of love. It is just his conscience perhaps but then it is all working in our favour, don't you see."

"Alright, I understand. Meanwhile, I think you should try and seduce him now to bed. If what you say is true and that his conscience is getting the better of him, to ease his guilt, go and comfort him. Wear the best of clothing and sweetest and seductive perfume this kingdom has and ensure you get him to sleep with you. That is one step to getting what we want."

'But why reduce myself to that? He would need a queen to fill up that role once she is gone and more importantly, he knows he would need a heir to carry on his kingdom when he is gone, so he would find me the most suitable and this time, I know you won't fail me by ensuring he weds me."

"Definitely, I won't fail you, my princess. I would do the needful and ensure that you and only you get to sit on the throne of Etheria."

"Thank you father. So forgive me. I won't seduce him now."

"Think about it, my charming daughter. He needs a heir and right now his mind is weighed down, he won't refuse you. Men we want such solace every now and then. Besides this is new for him, he would succumb. Trust me and from a father, I know he would not disappoint you and thrill you when he fucks you."

"Fine. I would consider it."

"You do not have time, my princess. Take this opportunity that he is being denied access to see Era to make him fall."

By evening of that day, Era's resolve remained. She shut everyone out. Aeverie was beginning to worry. She even refused to eat all day.

'She would be weak if she continues like this. She needs to eat to survive. It is like she plans on really killing herself. I need to go in and persuade her.'

As soon as she made up her mind, she turned around and placed a hand on the door knob ready to open it when she heard someone approaching.

Turning around again, her yes came face to face with him. "My Lord," she bowed her head in respect.

"How is she?" Damian instantly asked.

He was not interested in formalities but what he was most interested in was her wellbeing.

"She is still the same, my Lord. She refuses to see anyone let alone eat." All through her talk, she did not lift her head. It was at that moment he even noticed when he looked at her again.

"Oh my, please rise."

"Thank you, My Lord." She did as he asked and managed a small smile at him. He really cared about Era that was for sure, Aeverie noted.

"Yes, why hasn't she eaten? Does she intend to starve to death as well?"

"I am sorry, My Lord but she refused to have anyone come in to check up on her," Aeverie informed him.

"And what did that old doctor say?"

"She needed ample amount of rest. But you cannot blame her, My Lord, anyone in her shoes would do the same thing."

"I understand but now is not the time to allow your enemies rejoice over you."

"I understand where you are coming from, My Lord.  Have even told her the same and guess what, she told me she wanted to be alone. I think now, she really just wants to mourn."

"No one is against her. No matter what, her majesty needs to be careful. Her parents did die as a result of treason, mourning them would only attract the king's wrath the more."

'So what are you saying? That she doesn't mourn them and do not tell me youbeliev that nonsense they are all saying?" Aeverie's mood was quick to change.

She knew that Era's father would not be stupid enough to do that knowing fully well that harm could come to Era at anytime. He was a wise king and that was also why, he remained still even during the war and sought out the alliance to save his people.

He was just too careful to make such a mistake.

"No, I dare not. I am just saying. Right now she isn't in his favored list. If she wants to be okay, she would need to act up for her future. I know what I am saying, live to fight another day." He said the last part in a whisper to avoid anyone think he was plotting or something.

"I understand. Anyways, let us give her a day or two I know she would get herself back. I believe in her. She is strong. She is just experiencing a major setback but like a phoenix she would rise."

"As do I. I believe she would. Thank you for taking care of her. She needs it and for keeping those vultures at bay. Keep me posted if there is anything, please."

"Definitely, My Lord. Thanks once again for saving her first. We owe you our thanks."

"No need. It was nothing.. I am doing what any father who has children would do."
