CHAPTER 92

Really has he had said there was a corner, dark and lonely looking place with the kind of dread place in stories?

A dark and lonely looking cold zone. One with the thoughts of being inhabited by ghosts.

Her eyes flew open instantly as she recalled the place and with hurried footsteps, she made her way towards the West.

Not bothering with the greeting of those who saw her, Era made haste to the place being mentioned. It was really seen by all but it was not seen.

The farther she went, the more it made more sense to her now.

It was the dread and when one looked and thought carefully it was the eye of the palace.

Making haste as fast as her feet could take her but ensuring not to look too suspicious about anything, Era rushed to the western part of the castle.

She could not think of any other thing other than what could be there. 

If really something terrible has happened then it was best to make haste and see and get it over with.

If it were not important, he would not have had her hurry like this and may even come to her personally. So it meant his life and death description was all that it was.

Just when she was about crossing the next garden that led there, she heard someone call her name and she stopped abruptly and turned around swiftly.

Only one person had the right and audacity to call out her name like that in the palace and that was her nemesis. The one-man she wished not to see and definitely not at a time like this.

She needed to hurry so why now? She thought.

But when she recalled the warning that Arya spoke of, she knew she had to calm down and play it safe lest she hurries and hurries in exposing the life and death situation.

"Your majesty," Era gritted with the best of her smiles while managing to catch her breath in the less noticeable way possible."

"My Queen."

'Bloody heck, am I your queen. Just because you helped me a bit in there does not give you the right to utter those words and even more act like we were friendly or cosy,' Era thought to herself.

Regardless of what she thought and felt, she did not let an ounce of bitterness show.

When he got close enough, her smile dropped but she still looked pleasant but not to the point of showing anger.

He could drop the act now, people weren't close by and most definitely would not hear what they had to say to each other.

"Where does my queen run off to in such a frenzy?"

"I wasn't running in a frenzy, I was just being free as a kid."

"Really? Is that so?"

"Yes, your grace."

'So you mean to tell me that you failed to see anyone for three months and the day you set foot out all you could think of after causing such troubles in the palace was running wild and free?"

"Well, technically I did not cause any trouble. I only made my presence known. I never knew that would disturb his grace so much. Pardon my manners. I was just being free as I said."

"Free? Where you caged before?"

"Caged by my past. Caged by my pain. Thank you for asking." 

She looked around stylishly, trying to think of her next escape and see if she had anyone of Lord Damian's men watching her so they could report to their Lord that there may be a delay.

"Is my queen saying I am not paying attention to her feelings?"

"I never said so, your grace."

"No. I am sorry."

Era paused, halting in her next set of words and gazed at him. The look in his eyes wasn't like the threatening one she had seen when they got married. It wasn't the predatory gaze that sent shivers down the spine of his prey.

They were sincere and for the first time since she saw him these months, she saw the pain flash in his eyes. However before she could get a better look, it disappeared.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat, taking his gaze to the nearest flower close by, admiring it for nothing actually.

Somehow he got himself thinking. Seeing her now, she was a perfect contrast as to what she was when he had hurt her deeply.

Now, she wore her fury and rage proudly and he knew all of this she showed was a façade. No one could come out of such hurt easily.

It meant she was trying to put her enemies to shame or there was more.

He could not put his mind to it but he knew something was fishy with her especially now that she was on the move.

'If only I can get close to her, perhaps I would be able to tail her well and know if of a truth she is planning on killing me or really she was an innocent victim of the palace politics. I guess only one way to find out,' Vidor thought.

A stupid lie he told himself just to justify why he was being close to her.

His heart wanted her and he could not deny it anymore. Just being close he felt his body crave the need to hold her close and kiss her.

WHOA!

His mind screamed at him. He was going a bit too far. Why would he want to kiss her when he was supposed to hate her species?

"Sigh."

Although he had cleared his throat to get her attention, he ended up being lost in her once he got it.

His eyes took their time, one he did not have control of before to properly admire the goddess before him.

He studied her face, her looks, her eyes, her lips, the ever drowning red lips of hers that he could not wait for the day he would have i]them to kiss and cherish and…

"Your majesty!" Era called out loudly.

"Enh… huh…"
