Chapter 214: Stranger In The Queen’s Chambers

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

Chapter 212

Era waited for some time before returning to her work desk. Her mind was at ease at the moment knowing that the first step to her revenge was starting. All she needed to do now, was to think.

She needed to put the pieces together and find out those ministers close to her parents and start ticking the box and who it could be, then she would make her search.

If it meant she had to send someone to Meribia to find clues, she would.

After some hours that morning, it was already past noontime and she had not had her lunch. Arya took note of it and decided to get her a meal.

"Your majesty," she politely called her from where she stood close to the door.

She had finished with all the chores for the day except ensuring Era ate.

"Yes?" Her answer was tiring but nonetheless, she did not bother lifting her head to look at her. She had been so engrossed in her reports to even lift her head again.

"It is way past noon. I would head out to the kitchen to get your meal," Arya explained.

"Sure. You may go. Help yourself to your own meal while you are at it and afterwards, bring mine." She lifted her head briefly and smiled at the girl before returning her attention to her work.

"Thank you, your majesty."

Seeing as Era paid her no heed again, she went to the door and unlocked it.

However, just when she was to step out, she saw a tall figure blocking her part and was about to yell when a hand covered her mouth.

With her widened shocked filled eyes, she waited for his action before doing anything.

Without being told, she knew who it was and slowly, he placed his index finger on his lips to silence her.

"Shh!"

She nodded at him and once he was sure she was not going to shout, he nodded and freed her mouth. Paving the way for her, he allowed her to step out and then stepped in.

The look in his eyes told her, she wasn’t to disturb them. Not that she planned on doing so after what Era said before.

If she did and Aeverie or the other girls found out, they would scold the living daylight out of her.

As soon as the door shut close, she rested her body against the wall while bringing her hand to her chest and heaved out a deep sigh.

Slowly she brought the other hand to her mouth and her mind went back to when he placed a hand over hers.

’Gosh! He did it.’ She was tempted to squeal out in pure ecstasy by that very action but she knew best than to disturb what he wanted to do.

Without waiting another second before she burst forth, Arya took to her heels and dashed off into the distance to find a place where she could squeal for joy.

On the other hand, due to how busy Era was, she failed to notice someone else slip into her room and remained focused on her work.

He took his time watching how diligent she was and admiring her beauty from where he stood. Never had he seen her so serious, yet so charming before when it came to working.

The sheer thought and the sight were enough to make him forget reasoning and go to her to kiss her and take that seriousness away.

"If I were an assassin, I would have killed you by now."

Her eyes shot open. She knew that voice. Even if it was in her dreams, she knew it. And only one question plagued her mind right from when she heard it.

How did he come in and for how long had he been there?

Slowly, she moved her head to the side where she could see his silhouette standing by the door and counted till her gaze met with his body.

He was wearing a pair of grey trousers with a loused white shirt and a big silver coat on him that draped down to his feet.

She let out a deep breath buts he did not look at him still. It was like she was fighting with her consciousness if this was all her thoughts and not a reality.

Noticing this, Vidor smirked before crossing his arms on his chest. "Do I look so unbelievable to you, my love? That was how you felt transfixed in a trance that day. And now you are doubting my existence before you."

With the words that fell out of his mouth, Era had no more reason to doubt.

"Look at me, my love. The more you hide those eyes of yours from meeting with mine, the more you are tempting me to rush there now and kiss you."

That was all she needed and she moved her gaze up till her eyes landed on his beautifully well created face.

Her lips parted slightly when she saw the proud smirk on his face and before she could say anything, he uttered two words loud and clear.

"So beautiful."

And then he moved with a speed she was shocked he could even possess as a normal human being and before she knew it, he was by her side, with her face in his hands as he brought his face down to hers and captured her lips ever so tenderly with a touch of the fierceness and need.

She did not fight it. Rather, she allowed him to have his way. If she was honest with herself, she would have stated it. She missed him and his daring behaviour.

All she said about him to Damian was just out of fear of being called weak and losing focus. Whereas deep down, she missed him and liked him.

Without doing much, Era began to respond to his endearing kiss, returning it with equal fervour till she could not deny her feelings anymore and welcomed all he gave.

Their tongues wrestled in her mouth. She did not want to give in and he also wanted her to know who she belonged to.

After some time, Vidor snaked a hand down the length of her arm and then to her stomach before bringing it up to her breast.

She sucked in a deep breath and forgot her duel, causing him to win and tame her tongue.

They pulled back briefly, staring into each other’s eyes while revealing untold words of love to each other through it.

"I missed you," Vidor confessed in a low deep voice, sending shivers running down her spine.

She did not speak back but watched him through her lashes. He looked so handsome that she could not believe she missed gazing at his face.

"I missed my beautiful queen so much," he resumed. "And heaven knows, if I had not stolen into your room, I would not have been able to sleep one more night without you," he confessed.

Her heart began to go wild in her chest, beating as though a heavy drum thudded in her ears. She was elated by his spoken words of love.

But not wanting to give him so much hope, she smiled at him and stood up.

He watched her rise, but his hand remained on her face, caressing her gently. "You are mine, Era and no one would take you from me."
