CHAPTER 88
"No, sire, please. I am begging you."
Right now, Caspian was the one in the mess. The pit he dug for Era, he actually fell right into it.
"I am sorry, your majesty. I was at fault. I never should have spoken ill to her majesty like that."
'You still do not get it."
'But your majesty said that disrespecting her majesty is the same as disrespecting you. My apologies sire. My sincerest apologies. I never meant to do so. I was blinded."
"Exactly why you need this vacation of one year to clear your sight."
"Your majesty, please."
"Caspian o Caspian. She is right here. If you are indeed truly sorry you would do the right thing, wouldn't you?"
"Okay sire." He moved his gaze over to where Era sat and did the same thing he did with Vidor, bringing his hands together and close to his lips.
"I am sorry, your majesty. I admit I was at fault. I never should have yelled at you. I had no right to scold you in the first place," he pleaded.
"Oh, I see you realize your mistake," Era voiced out for the first time since she entered the courtroom . "But I actually doubt if you do. We all know you are the almighty Lord Caspian. At first, because of your position as Lord Regent, you felt like you had power as the king and had the audacity to scold me for coming into court."
"No, your grace. I was short-sighted."
"No, I support his majesty. You really need the one year vacation to clear your head so that you would not make such mistakes in the future."
"No your grace. I have learnt my lesson."
"No, I doubt that because we need to teach you a lesson for others to learn and follow else it would become something else entirely."
"No your grace."
"No, Lord Caspian. I believe we should b fair here. When you found out that I was the one who would be punished due to his majesty's agreement with you, you poured out the punishment and when other Lord's pleaded mercy for you to reduce the punishment you refused. So why now that the tables have turned you plead for mercy when you never wanted to show mercy?"
"I was blinded, your grace by all I had."
"Good, in all, his majesty remained right and you as well. Strip you of your rank, work and give you self-exile for a year."
"No, please." He pleaded again and again but nothing. Seeing how Era was handling the case because Vidor gave her the opportunity, Diona was not happy with the way things were going.
If she had her way, she would curse Era now. She was already causing her within her mind.
"I blame you not. If not that his majesty sided with you, are you really not a traitor not worthy of your title?" Diona voiced out in anger, both stunning the onlookers and her father.
"Diona!" He could not believe this daughter of his. Was she planning on killing him with her mouth?
"No. I would say the truth even if everyone is afraid to. What are we scared for? That she almost killed our king?"
"Diona, you would watch your mouth this instant or I would forget my friendship with your father and actually cast you into the dungeon," Vidor warned.
"No, your majesty, there would be no need. I would forgive Caspian but on one condition."
"Thank you, your grace. Anything, whatever it is that you wish for," Caspian gleefully responded.
"Good, I am glad you feel that way." Turning her head to face Vidor, she continued. "If it would please his majesty, I believe I can make a request of the punishment I want as a slight reminder to the people to respect their ruler."
"As you wish."
Getting his go ahead, Era returned her gaze back to Caspian and his daughter. "My condition is, Diona would have to get down on her knees before the people and apologize for being rude to me and talking out of turn in front of his majesty."
"WHAT!"
She could not believe her ears anymore. What was Era saying?
"I believe your ears are not too heavy, neither are you deaf. If you want to save face for your father, I suggest you heed my words."
Everyone was stupefied at the words they heard now.
Indeed she came back as the queen that's he was, not ready to be maltreated or stomped upon.
"I realize that this court now favours men above women so we as ladies need to teach and lead by example and do the right thing."
"Excuse me? I am not the one who barged into the courtroom and interrupted court proceedings, now am I?"
"You may not be, but I am queen. You, on the other hand, talked down on me in presence of my husband and King. Not only that, your father was ready to eat me raw if given the opportunity…"
'But he didn't do it. You, on the other hand, you are doing so. You are taking this opportunity to get back at him for nothing."
"How ironic! And to think that you haven't learnt your lesson. Your majesty, that is my wish and as queen, I am supposed to teach the other ladies at court and just to do the right thing, I am willing to apologize for rudely interrupting the meeting."
"Hmm, you think it changes anything?"
Everyone was surprised at Diona's speech. What was she thinking? That she was still her father's princess that was untouchable?
"Wake up, Lady Diona and know how to speak. Speak only when spoken to. Learn from your queen," Lord Damian scolded, causing Era to smile at the situation.
"Silence!" He raised his hand to quench the noise and once they had kept quiet he answered Era. "You are queen. Do what you think is right."
"Very well your majesty. I would apologize to everyone outside the palace. And that would be when I would want her to make a public apology to everyone.. That would be the warning."
