CHAPTER 89
"Thank you, your majesty," Caspian replied and looked to his side where his daughter stood.
"Diona," he winked at her but she ignored him and threw her face away. "Diona, apologize to her majesty and agree to the terms."
'Why should I father?"
'Because she is queen," he mouthed at her.
"Well, I am…"
'Shut up and do as I say or else my head would have it," she growled at her but made sure only them heard it.
"Fine." She was mad, angry in fact that she had to kneel and apologize to Era. "If not that you spoke it of turn, we wouldn't be here anyway," she muttered to herself but he heard it.
"Why you ungrateful child… Who am I doing this for in the first place?"
Turning her head to face Vidor, she looked calm and remorseful but given who her father was and she was, he knew that was far from being how she felt.
"Your majesty, my sincerest apologies."
"As I said, all apologies should go to my queen, not I."
"Yes, your grace. I heard you quite well. I would do as she wishes on the day she commands it."
"Very well. I never thought you were this obedient."
"Your majesty misreads my intention and misjudges my motive. I mean you no harm. My only thought is the growth of the kingdom."
"I see. If it pleases his grace, I would love for the apology to be done tomorrow at noon. I want to give out time for the ladies and people of the kingdom to come and learn."
"As you wish."
"Your majesty," Lord Damian called out respectfully.
"Yes?"
"Since this matter had ended, it would be wise that we tend to other matter so f court now and still makes good use of the day."
"Okay, then since Lord Caspian is out for the day and would resume his role only after the apology by his daughter Diona, you are to take charge of the court's preceding. Secondly, as of this day, Lord Caspian is no longer regent to the king but he maintains his role as high lord."
"Yes your majesty," everyone chorused and bowed before him.
"You may now proceed."
***
With a loud slam of the door, Diona walked briskly towards her bed and dropped her body on it carelessly. "No disturbance," she ordered.
She could not care less for what was to happen. Nothing beat her public humiliation tomorrow.
How could her father of all people agree to such a thing? Huh?
"My lady," her maid called out but she ignored. "My lady," she called again yet no response.
"My lady please…"
"Stop disturbing me!" she bellowed at her, sitting up straight and glaring daggers the young girl's way.
"I am sorry to interrupt your rest my lady, but your father stands outside waiting for you to allow him in."
"I couldn't care less. No one comes in."
Ignoring her maid, she turned around and went back to bed, throwing caution to the wind about her shoes and makeup.
Soon after she heard the door slam close and was ready to scream her lungs at her maid when she turned around and faced the door but rather than her aid it was her father.
"Have I spoilt you so much that you see death you gladly push your father in?"
She kept quiet and that was because she was too mad at him.
"Answer me, Diona!" He yelled out in anger.
"Do you hate me so much that I would give you an order and you would think about it before carrying it out? Haven't all you have and all I have done ever been for you, huh Diona?"
"I know but this was on the high side. You caused trouble. I shouldn't be the one cleaning up your mess for you. I am your daughter."
"And I am your father. My life, title and whatnot are on the line and the only thing you can think of is your embarrassment? Do you think you would amount to anything if I go down you would not be right behind me?"
"No. Look at Era for example. Her family went own but she didn't. His majesty favoured her," she explained.
"And do you think that you would be favoured just like her?"
"Yes, he even went to the extent of throwing us away because of her."
"Yes because she is his wife, his woman and not you. Just a simple task to seduce him, you couldn't do it and yet you have the guts to yell at me? What an ungrateful brat I raised."
"Father!"
"Diona!" he yelled in return. "Do you think this is any easy for me? It is not easy for either of us but what other choice do we have? If it was alone, we could turn the tables around on her and make her feel useless like before but now, we were in the courtroom."
"I know."
"We made a wrong move. I did first, I know but one must right a wrong. I guess that was why his majesty did not agree with us on this one. If he did and his subject saw her he maltreated his queen, it would tell bad about him. He cares more for his name and power than anyone."
"So you mean to say this is all an act?" Diona asked, trying to clarify what it was.
"I believe we can say so, my child."
'But what if it isn't? What if the king is catching feelings? What would we do? He is not supposed to love Era for this plan to work."
"I know, then, by all means, we must look for things to do, hasten ur plan if we must and make her fall into our trap such that his majesty would be tied down and can only pass her doom as his verdict."
"Fine. For the sake of what we want, I would do as you have said. Getting another plot wouldn't be hard.. With her haughty behaviour, it would not be too late till she succumbs to our plot."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
