CHAPTER 71

"Do not make me soil my hands with your blood. GET OUT!" Vidor bellowed at her.

Hearing him scream like that, made Diona shudder in her bones. Never had she had Vidor speak to her in such a manner?

For a minute there, it was almost as though she forgot all that there was. Her brain seemed to have gone numb as fear enveloped her all around.

'What went wrong? We were… No, he was. He was beginning to fall. Yes, he wanted it as much as I did. What wrong did I commit? Where did I go wrong and make him snap out of it?'

No matter how many times she tried to think about it, Diona could still not picture her fault.

"Are you still here?!" His next yell pulled her out of her thoughts, bringing her back to reality. 

Hurriedly she retraced her steps to the bed and picked up her shawl then cast a gaze over her shoulder at him. When she saw the cold and angry gaze he gave her, she was petrified.

"If you let me repeat myself again, Diona, I would not hesitate and throw away my relationship with your father, then kill you where you stand."

"I am sorry, my liege." No one wanted to be threatened like that and considering the bloody eyes of his which were shining with the brilliance of red, his sheer killing intent, she wasted no time in fleeing what would soon have become her death scene.

BANG!

The doors slammed shut behind her and she was no more.

It was not until he could no longer hear the scent of her sweet perfume that he snapped out of his rage.

That was the Vidor she knew actually, the one who could kill in an instant without thinking about it. It was easy for him to snap and reverse back to the usual him. 

It scared and terrified her all the same. This was just a no go area.

At that moment, Diona cursed herself inwardly forever listening to her father's advice.

'What was I thinking when I was going to try and seduce a heartless monster. He just is unchangeable. No one can break through that spellbound killer. Imagine how he snapped and turned into a… No. If not that I need you to rise to the position of my liking, I would initiate an auto plan for your death sooner than later.'

As she thought, the deadly look he shot at her flashed before her eyes and she shivered from the thought alone.

'Just you wait Vidor. I would enact my revenge on you someday. Then you would beg me for sex but I would give you not after ensuring I have properly seduced and tempted you. It is because you feel you still have a queen. Soon that would change as well.'

She cast one more look in the direction to his room, snarled at it and then turned around to go about her way.

After everything that happened, he was just pissed enough now that he had a clear boner with nothing to do about it.

"Now I bloody need a cold bath! Damn women! Their species should just be wiped off. But then again we need them to reproduce and give us more men… Sigh, in all they are needed but why are they just so…. Forget them Vidor and go bath," he finally advised himself.

Yielding to his own advice, he made his way to his bathtub to go catch that relaxing shower and take his mind off things.

Luckily for him, the night was cold and the water, just the right temperature.

Within minutes, he was already immersed in it and relaxing his head against the tub edge. Closing his eyes, he decide not to think about the issue that caused his problem.

'Get her out of your mind already Vidor. Think about something or someone else. Yes! I know who to think about," he half yelled but realizing what a troubling nightmare that would be he behaved himself.

"Who thinks of a witch that means you ill to relax? I guess I can just think of…" his mind went off and surprisingly the next picture that came to mind was when he first saw Era beside her father when he went to their kingdom and the next was when she marched gracefully to the altar on their wedding day.

Surprisingly, he found this memory one that he was willing to dwell on. He did not know why he felt this way but for some unknown reasons, he was glad nonetheless.

Soon, he became fully aware of her every move and feature. Yes, she had a veil on but when he had the opportunity to unveil her, he was shocked beyond compare by how enchanting he was.

Still being the king that she was, he failed to actually kiss her on her wedding day.

Even till now, they still haven't shared their first kiss. A mall smile formed on his lips, just thinking about her pert rosy lovey lips.

And then he recalled her stunned and a bit petrified she was when their gaze met. 

'What a maddening kitty she is," Vidor found himself saying absentmindedly. "I guess I really did hurt her, didn't I? For her to throw her life away without a second thought."

He opened his eyes when realization dawned on him.

"What have I done?" He asked sitting up in the bathtub. "I virtually ruined her. I should have shown leniency and mercy. She still is my wife. But one I haven't shared any relations with. Ne who calls me a monster and hates me."

He shook his head. Who was he to deceive? Wasn't he really a monster for him to do that to her?

"It wasn't my fault. It was because she hated me that she liaised with her people to kill me and take my throne and possessions away. She got what was coming to her. I was lenient enough."

"Is that what you tell yourself to console your greedy bloodthirsty heart?"

He turned his head to either side as the familiar voice echoed in the bathroom. "Who goes there?"

"You still ask? I guess I have not visited you enough, that is why." 

"Vemini." His voice came out cold but that did not deter the owner of the voice.

"Ah, you recall my name. I think this is the first time since I died that I heard you call me that. Interesting. One word of advice, though. You made another mistake just like you did with my kind and me. I see you were born with a cursed fate. You are doomed, Vidor of Etheria. Doomed to be lonely and to suffer."

"Curse you Vemini. Curse you."

"Hahhaa hahhaa hahhaa hhaaaa…. You are doomed Vidor!"

Just hearing the eerie sound of her voice, he could feel his teeth gnash. Death loomed near. 

Her spirit always brought with it a situation such as this.

"Ah… Is she right though? Is that why I have been restless like this? Because the truth was that I was too harsh on her? If that is the truth, what have I done? I have hurt her deeply."

He shook his head and the next thing hit hard on the water causing such a big splash around him and on the floor of the bathroom. 

"Arrghhh! How much have I hurt her? How was I blinded to see my fault like this? She is still young and to handle… Perhaps she really did not know about her parent's plot and… No!"

At that moment, he felt an unfamiliar pain in his chest and clenched his left chest hard enough.

"Arrghh!" it was the first time he felt pain such as this and he did not know why it hurt so much in his heart.

"What is happening to me? Is this another one of her curses? Vemini! Why won't you leave me alone even in death? I still do not believe that she did not know. I guess I must get to the bottom of this first. Not until I do that, I would not know how to face Vemini when she shows up again."

Getting up from the bathtub, Vidor made his way to his towel and towelled down till he was dry before heading for his wardrobe.

On his way, he stopped when he noticed the kind of chilly wind that came in and decided to go lock the window. On getting there, his eyes caught sight of the only room that was lit up not too far from where he was.

On a closer look, he could distinguish whose room it was. "Is she up? Why would her Lady Royal leave her light on?"

He shook his head. "Perhaps she forgot. No need to panic."

Even after reassuring himself, Vidor could not get his mind off of it.. "Sigh!" He walked away, leaving the windows the same way he met them.
