CHAPTER 84

~3 MONTHS LATER~

At exactly that time and season, Era was done with her mourning period.

Her eyes blinked as she rubbed her lips together gently to ensure that her shiny red lipstick was evenly spread across her lips.

The lady standing in front of her gently applied some powder on her cheek to add as a finishing touch. Stepping aside, the lady smiled when she gazed at her finished work, allowing Era the chance to admire herself in the mirror.

If she had seen herself three months prior, perhaps it would have given her the boost that she needed to get up and rise again.

Just staring at her reflection in the mirror was more than enough for her to fall in love.

She was a lady at that. Not to speak of when a man laid eyes on her. Unfortunately for them she was queen and married to their insensitive king whom she hoped would drool at the sight.

When she blinked slowly, she could see the dark blue eye shadow that dutifully adorned her eyelids, indicating her poise and class. 

The red lipstick on her lips was perfectly applied, bringing to life those sumptuous lovely cute lips of hers.

Standing up and moving over to her dressing mirror, Era smiled at her full reflection.

She was aware of what to choose to snag attention and approval, the dress had half of her back exposed backless to lure the young lords into the trap while the cleavage was covered as a signal to their wives that she wasn't a seductress. 

In all, it was an inviting sight especially to the one who owned her or felt he possessed her but could not dare approach her because, in actual fact, he had lost all his rights. Not that he had them to begin within the first place.

*Flashback*

Her eyes had gone sore and painful just because she refused to stop crying but now things were different. On that particular day, that morning when she first awoke, a dangerous smile outline the corners of her lips as she sat up.

It was exactly three months ago that she made her statement to Aeverie stating her mourning period.

It wasn't like she wouldn't miss them or anything, no. She still had them in her heart and mind each day.

Now it was time to make them pay. Now it was time to get back at them for laughing at her and thinking she was nothing and could easily be trampled on.

"Never! Never again would I be made a mockery of. Never again would I be trampled upon. Never! Never would they feel they have an upper hand over me. It is time to make them all pay."

Her smile widened. Her first target was the bigger chess piece and that was none other than Vidor.

"You may not have done it yourself but it was you who issued the command and gave the order. It was you who did what should not have been done. It was you, Vidor who stole my world from me. This has only begun. I would exact my revenge on you all one after the other. Just wait and see."

Standing up from the bed, Era made her way to her window and flung it open. Her gaze remained fixed on the sky up above as she stared at the dawn of a new day.

"This is the dawn of a new era, a new age. It is the start of a new century and another rule. It is the start of freedom. Vidor watch out. I would rin all you have ever taken pleasure in. I would visit my anger on you sevenfold and make you feel my wrath."

She scoffed at the sky before moving her gaze to his room window. 

"Ah, I pity the day you decided to take me in. I never meant you ill before but you cannot come after me and those I love and go scot-free. Never! As for your regent, I would do unto him, what he has done to my parents. Etheria beware, your day of reckoning awaits. This is my resolve."

*Flashback Ends*

"Simply ecstatic," Aeverie voiced out, pulling her out of her thoughts. 

"Thanks," Era appreciated her genuinely.

She loved the outfit. It was so not her in terms of exposure but it told of her new dominant and growth state.

"I see it shows your come back, my queen," the lady who specialized in the make-up said.

"Thanks. Please, sorry to have taken your time," Era apologized.

"Not in essence. I am more than happy to be of service my queen. If you would excuse me, I would be taking my leave now."

"Why yes, please. I would send a little thank you to your rooms later."

"I appreciate the gesture, your grace but really, it is fine. I am happy to be able to serve and have you wear one of my expertise."

With that, she took a bow and exited the room. No one spoke after that. They all admired Era silently until she broke the ice silence herself.

"What do you think?" Era asked.

It was as though her one question had opened up the tap called the mouth of her attendants.

"Oh simply gracious!"

"Breathtaking!"

"I am wowed by the change."

"She did a magnificent job but your majesty's beauty is the real killer of it all."

"If I am a young Lord, I would most definitely drool at the sight of her majesty," Alyx voiced out her inner thought, causing everyone to stare at her.

Era on the other hand smiled it off. They each had something wonderful to say and it pleased her greatly.

"It is time girls."

"Yes, your majesty. As of now, they gather in the courtroom for the weekly meeting. I think it would be the perfect time to see everyone," Aeverie suggested.

"We have the same mind, Aeverie. I thought of that too. It is time to sow Etheria that she cannot keep me down."

"Shall we?"
