CHAPTER 94
"She's alive." She interjected sharply. "She didn't die. I never saw her die nor did I see her body. It has to be her. She's the one."
"Alright, your majesty. I would ride myself to the borders to confirm this and if it is true then I would by myself bring her to you."
"It is true. Ensure no one sees her face. Hide her by all means, please. I ask this one thing of you, Damian. Help me."
"You need not beg me, your grace. Your business is my business. I pledge allegiance to you. I would be true to my words. I would ride now for the borders."
"Thank you."
"Please, take your leave first, your grace. It would be suspicious if we leave the same time."
She nodded in understanding and after ensuring the coast was clear, Era made her way out, hurrying further from the place till she got far enough and walked normally as though she was admiring the beauty of the palace.

Meanwhile, Vidor had gotten to his chambers and per her orders, a herbal soup was prepared and even before Louis arrived, the soup got to him.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in," he ordered.
Without a sound, the door pushed open a bit, revealing a young maid as she walked in carefully with a tray containing the bowl of herbal soup and a golden spoon in hand.
Judging from the smell he perceived right away, he felt like cursing Era in his mind. She really did what she said.
All he wanted was just to have her yet she could not understand such a simple thing, he thought and sat up.
"Yes?"
"I am sorry your majesty, but her majesty ordered that this soup be prepared and brought to you."
"I am fine."
'She ordered that we ensure you took it to prevent you from becoming ill. Your grace, I would leave it here for you."
'Is she kidding me?' Vidor asked in his mind. 'I am not sick and wait, why has the medicine arrived first before Louis? That physician does not like his head I can see.'
Looking at the maid who was still standing there, he dismissed her with a wave of his hand and she exited the room.
As soon as the doors pulled close, he took a while to study the content first before sniffing it again.
Just as he reached for the bowl of soup, he heard another knock on his door.
Looking up, he answered. "Enter."
"Your majesty," Louis greeted upon entering the chambers.
"Come forward."
He obeyed and hurried to him in the bed-chamber.
"Give me one reason why I should not sever your head from your body where you stand?" Vidor asked in a very low tone.
"Umm..." Gulp. At that moment he did not even know what kind of answer he was going to give to him. All he knew was the fact that come rain, come sunshine, he could afford to leave his majesty's side now.
From where he had gone to treat one of the Lords he heard what transpired between Era and Caspian. He felt so glad within himself that Vidor stood up for her.
That simply meant he was beginning to accept the fact that he had feelings for her.
"Your grace, I was at a patient's house. I was tending to one of the Lords when I got your message and immediately started running to the palace. I would not dare ignore your call. Pardon your servant, my liege."
He still wanted to get mad at him but when he thought about it, he mellowed down and let out a soft sigh.
"See," he pointed ta the bowl of soup. "Because you were not present, she sent a bowl of herbs."
"She did?" Louis asked in glee causing Vidor to shoot him some deadly glares. "Umm, I mean, she did?"
"Yes. Check it first."
"Sire?"
"She didn't poison it, I know. She didn't even cook it but be sure it is safe."
"Oh, you think she must have put in some love potion and stuff, your grace?"
He ignored his obvious question which only proved the physician's suspicions right.
"Oh, okay. I would just shut up and examine it." He leaned down and picked the bowl up.
As soon as he brought it close to his face, he perceived the fresh scent of herbs in it and smiled.
He knew what it contained and what her goal was. Regardless, he turned to face his majesty and asked. "Your grace, what was exactly wrong with you that made her send the kitchen to prepare you a soup?"
"I… Well, the very same reason why I asked for you here."
"And why is that?"
"I… "Vidor did not even know where to start from. He already felt embarrassed by the matter, let alone voicing it out too.
After such a long pause, he lifted his head only to see catch Louis looking intently at him.
"What is it?"
"I should be asking you that, your grace. You seem, flushed. Do not tell me you were like this with her majesty?"
Seeing that he had been caught red-handed, Vidor managed to play it away by arching a brow at him. "Why do you ask? And says who I am flushed?'
"It is written all over your face, your grace. What did she say to you that made you this way?"
He remained as silent as a mute, causing Louis to wonder what actually went down with the two of them.
"Your grace if you do not want to make this soup, then you should speak so I understand what is going. I am all ears and I would give you the best of my advice."
Just as he finished speaking, Vidor eyed him and then snatched the bowl of soup away from his hands before he could say anything.
In a few gulps, he drank it all ignoring the burning and peppery sensation at the back of his throat.
