Chapter 209: [Bonus Chapter] Caught: Lying Era

************

Chapter 207

By the time Era got to her chambers, she was a panting and blushing mess. Her king had succeeded in taming her body to his will that day.

What a naughty Vidor.

She opened the door quickly because Aeverie had not locked it behind and leaned against the door with a hand to her chest as it rose and fell at attention to her pounding heart.

At this time her eyes remained tightly shut while her mind went back to how that day had started with their breakfast.

The lovely scenery she had come to meet and the way she let herself go when he hugged her thinking it was all happening in her mind.

And how Vidor snuck behind her to kiss her neck, hold her and make her feel good until the truth was out. She thought about his naughty rules and how from that rule their argument and pain were birthed and a truth she could barely believe sprung forth.

Now she did not need someone to tell her this again. He loved her and she saw it for herself today. It was as plain as day. He cried. The king of Etheria cried his eyes out because of her.

He wept before his woman. That was something most kings would not dream of doing just so they could keep their pride but thinking back now, she knew she hurt him with her words.

"Oh Era." She lowered herself, sliding on the door till she came midway and moved her hand from her chest to the last hickey he gave to her, imprinting his symbol on her body.

She loved his kisses and she was way beyond happy that he did those. He wanted her and he proved it, he showed her in every way.

She could still recall that he got hard but that did not matter. He mattered and his words. They were both hurt. Him for hurting her and her, for him causing her pain.

For some reason, Era remained rooted in the memory where he imprinted his love in her mind by what he said. Nothing else made sense without her. His life, he, Vidor was nothing without her.

Was it true that a man of his calibre could fall helplessly in love with a girl like her? Or was it still a ploy?

’Come one, Era. You told him you won’t leave him. The least you can do is trust that he is sincere. Which man would readily cry like that?’ She asked in her mind and finally, she came to a conclusion.

’I cannot deny I enjoyed everything he did but it was maddening that my body responded to his every whim like that. Urghh! Am I? Have I fallen for him? No, no, no. I cannot. He cannot have me. I just can’t. It would be an insult to their memory, right?’

Several thoughts plagued her mind but one thing was sure, her hand never left where his lips had lingered on her neck.

"Your majesty! Are you okay?" Aeverie asked when she walked out from inspecting the bathroom and ensuring all Era needed for her bath was ready, then met her like this.

Her eyes shot open quickly and she stood back up, backing away from the door. "Umm, Aeverie," she looked down quickly, taking her gaze away from her and trying to use her hand to cover up.

Sadly, she had not yet seen the marks on her skin, so although she managed to cover the latest hickey a bit, Aeverie could still see the end of the red mark, accompanied by the other very visible hickeys.

If only she got to the mirror first. She was doomed in his hands and yet this man wanted her to bed him?

She face-palmed herself, inwardly cursing for not being strong enough but embarrassed to see her Lady Royal.

"Your majesty. Why are you flushed?" Her brows furrowed at Era. "Are you sick or something? Is that why you returned first and not your study? Are you okay?"

"Yes. I am. Very."

"Okay. How did your date with his majesty go?"

She jolted a bit and managed to pretend nothing had happened. Smiling sheepishly, she still avoided Aeverie’s gaze and answered. "It was okay."

"Alright," Aeverie nodded and then brought both hands forward rubbing them against each other. "I want to know the juicy details if you do not mind, your majesty. What happened between you two?"

"Nothing. We ate, drank and relaxed under the morning sun, while Ethan and some servants brought us pillows."

"Just that?" Her voice fell, she acted disappointed.

This was all for Era to let her guard down and think Aeverie was not interested or anything but that was a bloody lie. She was too naïve to not know what her Lady Royal was planning.

"Hmm, it is sad. I wished his majesty would have taken the initiative and kissed you. He should have turned it romantic. Gee, if I was there, I would have hinted to him to do it."

0_0 "What?"

"Yes. He should do more, give you pleasurable moments. How can he give you an heir in this state when he doesn’t know what to do? Arggh!" she massaged her temples and lowered her head a bit but her gaze was on Era who was confused and thinking.

"If he did, I bet her majesty would be feeling on top of the world by now. Especially when he kisses you. Are you sure he did not kiss you?"

"We didn’t."

’Hmm, I am sure though>"

"What? How?" She turned fully to face Aeverie and dropped her hand. "We did not do anything of that sort, neither did he touch me or play with my body. We were..."

"Bingo. I never said anything about that."

’Damn it! I feel for her trap.’ Era thought.

"You cannot hide this from me or lie to me, your majesty. Besides, what is that on your neck? No. More like, what are those on your neck?"

"Nothing."

"Yet his majesty did not kiss you, huh? I think your majesty you two did more than just kiss and went to the second base of allowing your hands wander around your partner’s body."

Era immediately turned into a potato. This was what Vidor meant by not wanting her to return to her chambers but she refused. Now she was facing it from Aeverie.

"You two are naughties doing so in the garden? What if someone had caught you?"

"Someone did."

"They what? Who? A maid?"

Era shook her head at her. "None."

"Then? Who, your majesty?"

"Eunuch Ethan."

0_0

Aeverie’s mischievous smile returned as she left out a soft chuckling sound. "Hehhee. You must have been shocked. So that was why you stopped."

"No. Your naughty King thought it great to amuse himself and still kissed me in front of Ethan. To top it all, he was jealous."

"How romantic! Ahh, King Vidor is the best. I honestly never expected this but he is making so much effort to prove his love to you."

"You believe so?"

"Yes. I know you are scared and you have all right to be. I mean after what he did but now, I can see him turning a new leaf and that is because he has a queen like you. You have changed Vidor."
