CHAPTER 98

Badum! Badum!

Rather than being offended, Vidor smiled a bit and left. Seeing that, her eyes widened and she turned around swiftly and went into the room.

She got scared for a while but after some time her fears subsided and she smiled. No wonder the queen was a blushing mess.

She now knew what the secret was. She had obviously seen the king and perhaps he flashed her one of his killer smiles.

Her cheeks puffed upwards as different thoughts began to cloud her mind. 

'Wait, this simply means they have started liking each other? Is that so? I hope so. It would be bad if our lovely queen does not ever get to consummate her marriage. I hope King Vidor can let go and give her what she desires. This may just be the start of something new.'

She shook her head and jumped lightly on her feet like a little girl who was just giving her long-awaited present.

'I can smell a young one coming along soon. This was what she needed, a break from her exile and so she could find love in life again. I can't wait!'

***

At breakfast the next day, the few guests present in the castle all sat down, ready to eat but all had to wait for the king.

Unlike the first breakfast Era had, she came quite early this time and was not so surprised when she did not see Diona for the breakfast.

In fact, she was thrilled that the wench did not show her face before her and knew when she was beaten. Once more she was the centre of attraction seeing that she had not yet come out of her den in months and now…

She snagged everyone's attention with her lovely sky blue A-shape gown she was putting on. It did not have many designs but the way and manner it hugged her slim frame down to her butt before spreading, made her look beautiful.

"Your majesty looks splendid today," one of the ministers voiced out.

"Why thank you, Lord Banish."

"True. I bet his majesty would be astonished to see her," another Lord added.

By now the news of she gaining his favour had already begun to spread far and wide and people, well they all wanted to be in her good graces now.

No more was she looked at with scorn as though she was the one who caused their predicament.

Also, no one dared to mention her past and her family's treason. So right now she was the dazzling beauty to all and not Diona who they feared and reverence because of her father.

"His majesty, the king!" One of the Eunuch's with Vidor announced as he walked into the dining area.

Quickly, everyone rose to their feet and bowed their heads in reverence to him. "Greetings, Your majesty!"

He nodded as he walked over to his seat where Era sat by his right hand. On sighting her, a small smile appeared on his face but due to the fact that everyone had their heads down, they did not notice this.

He also used the opportunity to admire her without any restriction.

Her outfit was stunning, just like herself and the need to hold her, hug her further intensified. He stopped in his tracks, taking in a deep breath to steady his heartbeat and took another look at her as he settled before his chair on the table.

Her head remained down but not as deep as the others. She respected him and he loved it.

Thinking of what Louis had told him, he decided to put it to a test.

Perhaps he was moving too fast with wanting to win her heart over, one could not blame him.

He spent the last three months thinking of the possibilities of not taking action against her family. Perhaps he could have had a better chance in wooing her unlike now.

Drawing close to her, Vidor whispered something into her ears, causing her to look at him and forget her bow.

He smiled at her reaction, then proceeded to sit down.

"You may all take your seat," he ordered.

"Thank you, your majesty," they chorused.

Amidst the whole charade, he had failed to take note of someone or some people who had their eyes on him the whole time and caught sight of what he did.

One of such persons was none other than Caspian. Even when he walked in and he stared at her, Caspian saw it all and he clenched his fist at his side.

He was a man and he knew that feeling or better still that look. If he did not hate Era and her presence, he would have been like the most foolish Lord that was dying for her beauty. She was a woman of class and a royal at that.

A primped and proper princess now turned queen, blessed with the beauty of her mother and charm of her father.

Indeed, if she was not beautiful, Vidor would not have readily agreed to marry her but then again, Caspian had counted on his hatred for women all this while but now, he just could not tell anymore.

Era was affecting Vidor and changing him I  more ways than one and the earlier he had started understanding that and planning, the better for him.

She already succeeded in putting him against Vidor, who knew what else she was going to do.

His thoughts were getting the better of him and he knew they had to act fast. Diona was right to get angry, he thought. If he did not act and put Era in a bad position, it would be himself and Diona who was the cat's pawn.

On the other hand, the second person who had caught Vidor in his act of admiring her was Lord Damion. 

Regardless of serving under Vidor, he still hated him for what he did to his girls and making him his subject so whenever he passed like that, he always sneered at him stylishly.
