Chapter 212: Edgy Era

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

Chapter 210

A few days went by and Vidor decided to give Era some space to get herself clear.

Although those days were torturous for him, he had to manage because the more he stayed with her, the more he lost his hold and wanted to have her, eat her and make her squeal.

Gosh! He was losing it. Now he knew what his generals felt when they were with these girls. His hormones for the first time in his boring, cruel, and bloody life, went on a rampage.

Those days, he had to set things in place, and secure his kingdom’s military defences to get things all working in terms of an invasion again.

On the other hand, when it came to news about Era, he had his men fill him up.

For those few days, she did nothing other than her routine as well and focused solely on matters of the kingdom.

She tried her best to avoid the women’s incessant meetings to do something productive. At least if there was one thing, she knew Diona would not wish her there as well.

So to a larger extent, it was a good thing she not going. Her appetite wasn’t ruined nor was her mind filled with rage.

It almost felt like she forgot about her anger and revenge.

All through, until that time.

A knock came on her door, while one of her maids Arya went to answer it and usher in the visitor.

She was least beat interested to even bother and look but when she heard his voice, her jaw dropped, her pen fell, smearing the work she was writing on.

"I see you have been busy a lot lately, your majesty."

"Lord Damian!" She lifted her head and smiled at him.

She had been shocked that way because ever that verbal fight in the throne room, and when he visited her, they have not had the liberty of seeing.

But that wasn’t what put her on edge. It was the fact that she was so cosy with Vidor days ago and she knew of a truth that word would spread out about their union.

And seeing as he came now, she wished it was not to scold her or anything. Yes, she liked him but her revenge mattered to her and just maybe she was the one overthinking things.

Regardless, she enjoyed those brief moments of love. It made her recall her days with him when she first came.

And although she was rude, thinking about it now, the way she hated him for not giving so much of a chance, she knew if he had shown a bit of warmth and not looked at her like one prey and not acted the way he did during their reception and all, then she would not have been that way.

Letting out a deep sigh, Era stood from her seat to greet Lord Damon, while leading him to her living room.

"Please, sit," she gestured towards a chair with her right hand and sat down as well. He waited first for her to sit before joining her.

"Thank you, your grace."

"To what do I owe this pleasure, Lord Damian?"

"Nothing much, your grace. I just came to check in with you."

"Oh, I see. I must say I am fortunate to have you."

"Your majesty, I have told you before. Ever since the day I saved you, you became my responsibility. I was not really close friends with your father, but I admired him and his ways. Now that he is gone, I can only try to make you feel his care."

Her lips pulled back into a kind smile. "Truly, I appreciate all that you do for me, Lord Damian. It is great."

"Anytime. Anyways. I believe it is time to start taking action," Damian began.

She could see the look of pure seriousness overshadow his once soft eyes and swallowed hard.

It was the moment she had been waiting for. Now all that remained was for him to dish it out. And for a great reason, it tensed her up.

He watched as she rubbed her fingers together while her chest rose, ailing to fall as she chested out and held her breath.

Just one look and he could tell she was tensed. Although he knew he did not say anything to warrant that, he was sure he knew the case.

Sadly, she did not know what he told Vidor. Naughty kids.

"Your majesty, please relax."

"What?" Even the way she quickly responded told him she was on edge.

"Relax," he called out slowly. "I am not here to eat you. I am no monster.

"Yeah, only he is," she absentmindedly said, causing Arai who was still arranging her books and Damian to widen their eyes.

"Queen Era."

"Huh?" she whipped her head to her right side and blinked severally. "Yes, sorry?"

"You seem out of it, your majesty. What? Did his majesty do something to you?" She lowered her head. She had been caught.

Just when she thought she was acting so well that he would not catch her or speak of her make-out session with Vidor, he seemed to be catching on.

"You seem to misquote my coming here. I did not come to ostracise you or scold you for allowing his majesty to do what he wants with you. No. I came to talk about our next step, more like the first step in your way of revenge."

"Oh!" Her voice rose in a high pitched tone. He got it, she was tensed for no just cause. He shook his head while releasing a deep breath. She really reminded him of his daughters.

"All I can say is, know your enemies. Do not be so trusting of people yet until they have earned it."

"Hmm?"

"I know you have feelings for Vidor."

"No. It is not what you think." She paused, and looked at Arya, "Please excuse us for now. Return when he leaves."

Without saying anything, she bowed her head and exited the chambers. She knew what Era wanted to say, that she was not in love with the king but anyone who had eyes could see that she was.

All one could do now was to wait patiently and trust in time to heal her wound for her to realize she is nothing without his love. Her pain would not go without that love. It was just time.

"I am not in love with his majesty," she denied.

"You are. You did not just let him kiss you once but so many times."

He had begun attacking her not to dissuade her from her feelings but to make her own up to them, then he can allow her to know of his full support for them to be one.

However, Era’s fears were getting to her.

"I did it to get his favour, his trust so that when I enact my revenge, he would least be expecting it.

Even saying those words felt so strange to her but she found herself doing so.

’Hmm, Era, oh naughty queen. You are so in love with him that thoughts of him fill you up so much. If only you know I am in support.’ He let out a sigh and smiled.

’If you two love each other so much, who am I to break that? After all, you are like a daughter to me and your happiness is my joy.’ Damian voiced out within him.
