CHAPTER 74
"Yes, I want to know."
"Fine then. It was you who made me go and seduce him and guess what?"
His eyes dimmed at her. His mind was already guessing the outcome given her outburst. "What?"
"He threw me out, yelling and made sure he warned me outrightly never to ever show my face in his room again!"
"He did what?"
"Yes. He was very mad, so very angry. I was so stupid for listening to you. What were we expecting when the monster king had not even touched his queen nor any woman for that matter. I doubt if anyone would be able to break that icicle of a heart of his."
"Diona," he called out her name in a cautioning tone.
"What?"
"Mind your words."
"Mind my words? You were not the one who was humiliated after throwing myself at him, where you?"
"No, but that does not change the fact that I am mad at him for humiliating my daughter that way."
"No need. You were the one who thought that he could get taken during this period."
"Forgive me for thinking like a man. It is what most lonely men would want and need. How was I supposed to know he would not be interested in you. Mind you are not just any lady. You are one of the most beautiful ladies in Etheria. Every man wants you. If not that you were my daughter, I would have gone for you as well."
"Father."
"What? I speak the truth. He is stupid for throwing such an opportunity away. I know you would not have disappointed me. It is just unfortunate we have a blind man for a king or he is impotent."
"Father!" It was now Diona's turn to yell at him questioningly.
It was still the king they were talking about here and even though he was annoying one needed to be careful.
She turned to face her maid and signalled for her to excuse them.
"My Lord, my lady…" She bowed and took her leave.
When Diona was sure that they were left alone, she moved back to where her father sat and spoke to him. "Never have I been humiliated like that before father. It felt like I was useless."
"No do not say that, my daughter. No child of mine is useless. He is just the one who doesn't know what he has. You cannot be compared to that Era. You surpass her on every level. In beauty, brains and brawn. You are the master planner and the best lady Etheria has ever seen."
By the time he finished filling her head with praises, he smiled at her.
"I am honestly sorry you had to go through all of these. You should have reported the case to me quickly."
"To do what? It is the king we are talking about here, father. There was nothing you could do. You can't g to him and demand an explanation as to why he didn't have me, then it would seem like a ploy. Besides, I am not some brothel girl. I am the Lady Diona, daughter of Lord Caspian, High Regent of Etheria."
"Yes, that is more like it. Everyone wants to be you and everyone should wish to be you."
'It is okay, do not patronize me, father."
"I am not. You know me better than this. I am the only one who would tell you the truth."
"As you wish. Now though, I just do not want to see him. It has been annoying me anytime I think about it."
"Do not worry. Since we cannot report the king to the king, we simply just hasten hs removal process."
"Really?" Her eyes brimmed with joy.
She rushed up to him on the bed and sat facing him. "But father, are you sure?"
"Yes. I cannot sit still and watch one man rubbish my daughter because he feels he is King of nations. I would remove him and make you the one everyone reverences."
Her face lightened up, brimming with joy on every side. "Father. You…" she did not even know what to say. She was so glad that their minds were working as one. "I was thinking the same."
"Really?"
"Ye. After that embarrassment. I could not take it again. I suffered so much. He pushed me away. Telling me I cannot be compared to his queen."
"The effrontery!"
"Exactly my point, father." Her face dulled again as she recalled the incident.
"It was…" she paused and tears suddenly started running down her face at that moment. "Oh no, do not cry. Relax, it would be fine. I would ensure that you sit on that throne and rule Etheria soon."
"But…"
"Do not doubt me, my daughter."
"I am not doubting you. It may not be easy. I think with our earlier… How can we when he is watchful now?"
"Like we have always done. Pretend to be true and hasten her death. The sooner she dies, the quicker it would be for us to persuade him in getting a new wife and an Etherian for that matter. Who other than you is more qualified and most suited for the job?"
"No one."
"Great. So we should ensure he does things that would make Era hate him and in turn say some wrong words then we cause the death and make him declare all ties with Etheria over that day.
"Then later, once you have established your spot on the throne, you would start by removing opportunities that may arise in bringing you down. It would be an easy peasy something."
"No problem. Now we must ensure things are done the right way and avoid any obstacles whatsoever. Wait, speaking of obstacles, isn't Damian one of them?"
Caspian's eyes dimmed at his daughter when she mentioned Damian's name. He was indeed posing to be an obstacle.
By now they would have gone ahead with their plans but he went to save Era further causing a delay.
"That man.. He is a torn in my flesh."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
