CHAPTER 87
"I believe the rules and punishment Lord Caspian is calling is too much and not in any book or our laws. They are made up."
'His majesty gave me the right to state the punishment and from now one they would be enacted as such.
"He hasn't said he was passing it into law," Damian spat at him. "Let me remind you, you are only regent and your position can be removed too. Just beware."
Turning to face Vidor, Damian continued. "Yor majesty, I beg your pardon to plead that the punishment is lightened. It is too much."
"For a disrespect against our king? No, it is too small. The punished should be glad we are not stating execution. I think that would be the best."
Era clenched her fist on the handle of the throne chair she sat on. Never had this ingrate disrespected her so much.
How dare he?!
"You have spoken well, Caspian."
When he said that, all those ready to fight for Era suddenly lost hope. It was doom for her. At the end she brought her own death herself, they thought.
There was nothing more that could be down now!
"Thank you, your grace."
'But your majesty," Damian continued, he did not want to give up.
"I would hear no more. Take your seat, Damian."
"Yes, your majesty," he reluctantly said with a bow. By the time he looked back up, his gaze met with Era's and he flashed her an apologetic look before taking his seat.
"I have heard the rules and I have thought carefully about it and the punished is deserving of it." Her fist tightened some more till her knuckles turned white but Era still refused to say anything.
"Now, this is my verdict. The defaulter of this said punishment is none other than…"
*Drum rolls*
With a proud smile on her face, she shut her eyes briefly and raised her head a bit, still having that proud look on.
Most pitied her, some were sorry and felt bad but none ever wished to be in her shoes like the second most proud lady present, Diona.
She looked at Era with disdain and scorn. She could not wait for when her dethronement was to come to she would be the one who ruled in her stead and have all the things she had.
"The punished is, Caspian of Etheria, high Lord and Regent of Etheria."

*DRUM ROLLS*
*GLASS SHATTERS*
It was as though the glass covering his ears was shattered into his eardrum and everywhere became graveyard silent and calm.
In as much as it looked calm, the pounding of the hearts of two specific people could almost be heard clearly.
Caspian looked at Vidor with widened eyes. His shock was proudly worn on his face but none could beat the look of fear and terror in his eyes.
Era shut her eyes before opening them and peered sharply at Vidor to make sure she was hearing clearly with her ears.
"WHAT!"
"Yes. According to the punishments you stated earlier, it shall be done unto you," Vidor stated again.
Caspian looked at him intently. He wanted to be sure the king was okay and not mistaken or as sleep or something.
But no matter how he looked at Vidor, he saw nothing unusual rather he wore a stern look on his face.
"But your grace, I would never disrespect you, If there is anyone who has disrespected you today, it is the queen, your queen."
"Exactly. She is my queen and no one has the right to pass down any judgment on her except I, the king. Any disrespect against her is equal to a disrespect against me."
'But your grace, she… her family, normally she is supposed to…."
'Are you now giving me orders and telling me how to run my kingdom?" Vidor bellowed out in anger. "You are only worsening your case by speaking.
"Sir, no, I dare not."
"Just like what Damian said, you pushing and shouting at her, was a clear indication that you are above me and I am subject to your will. I think you of all people should know how I frown at such?"
"Yes, your majesty."
'No, I doubt it because if you did, you wouldn't have had the effrontery to yell at my queen in my presence or scold her. I did not marry her to be subjected to you. Secondly, I think I have given you far too much power and you are abusing it. It has gotten into your head that you yell in my presence."
"Sire, I meant no harm. Please forgive me. I thought I was doing what was right by cautioning her. She is queen and mother of the kingdom, wives, mothers, young ladies and children all look up to her and her behaviour. Once word gets out, it would be a shame to the royal family."
"How would word get out if you are not the one spilling it?"
"No, sire. I swear before the heavens, nothing like that. Please believe me when I say have your best interest at heart."
"I doubt that because I said according to the law, state the punishment, yet you called what wasn't in the law and when you were asked you said I would endorse it. NO! You became king overnight."
"Your majesty, please it is not like that." Caspian looked around for help but got nothing.
"I think it is only befitting to do unto you that which you wished for my queen. They should take you."
"No." He fell to his knees instantly with both hands rising up as he pleaded.
For Diona, she did not know how everything went down the drain so quickly but when she saw her father on the verge of collapse, she rushed out from where she sat and joined her father in his plea.
"Please your majesty. Forgive him, forgive my father. He made a mistake."
"No, he hurt and embarrassed her. She should be the one to accept it not I."
"No, sire, please.. I am begging you."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
