CHAPTER 97
Letting out a deep sigh he stood up from his bed and made his way over to his window as he gaze out into the open sky.
"What wonders do you hold and what secrets do I await to unravel? Just this once, help my head think straight? Should I trust or should I be as I have always been with no one close to him? At least it stops and prevents pain."
He wasn't so sure on what to do but if he was to go by what his royal physician said, then he may have to chase her.
Funny enough, he got wind of something as he stared outside his window but more importantly, he needed to make sure what he was seeing was correct.
Ever since he laid eyes on Era that day and his heart seemed to be at peace, never once since then did he feel her presence.
And that being said, if he compared with how frequent he had been seeing Vemini, one would say so much.
Not wanting to be the bearer of his own bad news, he kept the thought to himself and tried to get his mind off it. Luckily for him as he battle with that, Era strolled out of her room to her window.
The second he laid eyes on her, she stole his breath away. Unlike this morning when she appeared before the assembly in a very domineering and seductive outfit, this time she wore a simple light blue gown with her blonde hair let loose and free to freely fall behind her.
She lifted her chin a fraction, enjoying the feel of the cool evening breeze brushing her cheek and skin whilst taking her hair with it.
Ah, it was such a lovely sight and for a few minutes, he forgot he had planned to go back in and remained there enjoying the view.
He did not know what this feeling meant all this while but now that he was experiencing it, he was willing to take it further and more than was expected of him.
After some time she lowered her chin and looked to her side when she noticed someone looking at her. To her amazement, he did not hide, like the last time.
Rather, Vidor stayed in place, blinking and smiling like a love-struck fool. She had to admit it, just watching him watch her sent a strange feeling up her spine but she shook it off.
The pain he caused her still vibrating in her bones.
Seeing that he did not plan on doing anything, Era smiled at him.
It was the first time she was seeing the cold King behave this way so for her, it was a change and when she did smile, his lips pulled upwards, revealing his teeth as a lovely smile appeared.
'WOW!'
For a minute there, she was lost, transfixed, mesmerized by his smile and the beauty of his face. He looked so handsome if one looked past his ever cold exterior.
No, this smile did more than enhance his beauty. It brought light to his face and life, a sense that there could be something better than his cold self.
Finally, someone seemed to break their trance. Vidor's smile broadened and he raised his right hand to wave at her.
Instead of waving back, Era smiled again before pulling her gaze away and back to the sky. She allowed him to gawk at her for a minute more and then turned around to go have a rest.
She did not know what just happened out there but if she was to say, she would say that was not the husband that she married.
Entering the room, Aeverie was surprised to see her all flushed just from going out to get a bit of fresh air.
"Your majesty, is something the matter?" she asked out of concern.
"What?" Apparently, Era was still deep in thought. "Huh, pardon?"
Aeverie smiled at her. "I said, my queen, is something the matter?"
"Well no. I am okay. Perfect in fact."
"I see. That would be great then but your face says something else. You are flushed. Hope you are not having a fever? If so, I would ask the kitchens to make herbal soup and then send for the royal physician to come to observe you."
"No," she said abruptly, raising her right hand as a sign and taking a step forward.
"Your majesty?"
"I mean, umm. There would be no need for that, Aeverie." She placed her hand down. "I am fine. Trust me." Even the way she said it wasn't convincing with how overworked she was acting.
Letting out a sigh, Era placed both hands on her cheek and felt her temperature. Indeed she was getting hot but her body still felt cool somehow.
Perhaps the aftereffect of the wind outside but she knew she was heating up. Why? She could not tell exactly.
"I would just have a nice cold shower," she said and began to walk towards her bathroom.
"But your majesty," Aeverie called out.
"Yes, Aeverie? Any problem?"
"You just had your bath," she revealed, clutching tighter to the sheets in her hand. "Are you sure you are okay?"
"Why of course, I am. I would just have another one. Nothing like a chilly night, am I right?"
She smiled and before Aeverie could drop what was in her hands and follow her, Era stopped, turned around and said. "There would be no need to come. I can manage with a light bath myself."
"As you wish, your majesty."
"Thank you."
Without a second more to waste, she hurried to her bathroom, unlocked the door and went in then locked it back.
Shaking her head, Aeverie finished up quickly with what she was doing and just when she was about to leave her bedside something caught her eyes.
Smiling to herself, she bit down on her lower lip like a young girl and sneaked towards the window.
As soon as she stepped there, her gaze caught sight of Vidor. He had still not gone inside but just stayed, leaning against the rays with his mind obviously far away.
He noticed someone come out and turned to see. When their gazes met, Aeverie gasped and quickly bowed her head.
Badum! Badum!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
