CHAPTER 93

"Your majesty!" 

Vidor looked around, and then to the ground before bringing his gaze back up, taking his eyes delectably slow from her lovely leg up to her thigh through her slit to her stomach and then her cleavage.

He held his breath when his gaze fell on her chest, blinking more than once in a millisecond and then, licked his lips slowly then looked at her face again.

"Your majesty," Era called out again. "Are you okay?"

"Umm, yes. I am "

"You do not seem well, your grace. Your face looks red and…' she stepped forward, wanting to touch his neck and feel his temperature. However before her hands could reach him, he took some steps back, evading her approach.

"I am fine," he lied.

"If you are then let me be the judge of that."

"You are not a doctor, Era."

"I may not be, then go see one." Peeling her gaze off him, she looked at his Eunuch and ordered. "You, escort his majesty back to his chambers and send for the royal physician to check up on him as soon as possible."

"Era, I …"

"You do not look well. When last did you actually take out time to rest?" He could not answer her.

"My guess exactly. Never. You need rest, your grace."

'I need you,' he said in his head. 'What am I even saying? How can I… damn it, Vidor!'

"I am fine."

"Please, escort his majesty back. Staying out here in the cold isn't good either. Trust me, I know so." She managed a small smile and escorted him towards where his Eunuch was.

Due to the fact that he did not want to argue with her lest he actually voices out his inner thoughts that he yearned for her, he agreed to return to his chambers and rest his head.

To him and to anyone witnessing, she was trying to care for him but she knew that was not the case.

Seeing him look red, she felt it was her opportunity to escape and so she used it against him.

"Rest well, your majesty. I would ask the kitchens to prepare you some soup. It would improve your health."

All he could do was nod. He had brought it upon himself. He could only accept it and check on her another day.

Just as she had said, she quickly found a maid and ordered that a soup be prepared for him with herbs to best alienate his ailment and put him to sleep.

More than anything, what she was interested in was that sleep aspect that was why she was bent on him getting the soup.

"Ensure you deliver it to him as soon as possible. His health right now is… I do not want to utter any negative words. Hurry please."

"Yes, your majesty. On my way."

After the maid left, a pleasant smile formed on her face and she searched around first to be sure no one was there.

Once she was certain, she resumed her journey to the eye of the palace.

She was not in the mood for any other disturbance. Even her heart and mind could not take the silence anymore and knew she needed to get there on time.

At least if not for any reason but for the fact that Lord Damian was waiting and he could be summoned anytime.

As briskly as she could, Era rushed there. On getting to the entrance of the garden there, before the walkway of the Northern part of the palace, she paused, took in her surroundings.

It was just as she recalled. Everywhere was quiet, unlike last time when the place had some life due to her presence at this angle.

Her gaze searched a bit but she did not have to wait too long. No sooner has her eyes begin to roam around did it lock with their connection and from there, the corner.

One look at the place gave her the creeps but at this point in time, even if something bad was to happen to her, she would not bother about it.

She had already lost too much to be bothered about more death aside from that of the children and her maids of course.

Everywhere was green and dark as though a ghost really lived there. She closed her eyes, inhaled deeply allowing the smell of fresh forest grass to assault her nostrils before opening her eyes and taking the very first step in her destination.

But as soon as her eyes flew open, they caught sight of a shadow hidden in the dark at the small lonely building that looked no more than a hut of some kind but perfectly roofed without any windows.

She let out a soft gasp when she saw what she did and halted in her steps. She needed to rethink this decision of hers.

What if this was a plot and Lord Damian really was not searching for her but someone else trying to trap or kill her," she thought.

That idea alone in her mind was more than enough reason to keep her feet rooted to the ground but Era being who she was, shook her head and continued on her journey.

"This must be it. Brace up, girl. You can do it. What if your mind is wrong and it is just your fears?"

Thinking it through, she took another step and slowly made her way there till she got into the building.

No sooner had she entered than she heard a solemn voice come from behind her. She turned around, unsure of where it was coming from.

"Show yourself, who are you?"

"You know me already, your grace. I never thought you would make it here in time though."

Her eyes narrowed at the shadow she saw and wondered who it was. The voice told her but she was finding it hard to believe.

Stepping out from where he had hidden, he took slow steps towards the light and when he had completely shown himself, he watched as her lips parted in utter disbelief.

"You!"
