"Era."

"I’m sorry."

"No. It is my fault. I am the one who should be sorry to have brought them up and also killed them."

He kissed her on top of her head and pulled her face to his chest. He rested his chin on top of her head and patted her skin lightly.

"I know that no matter what I do, nothing would change that fact and you still see me as a monster. I am amazed you could ever forgive me. And I do not want to do anything to jeopardize that, ever. You mean too much to me."

Era drew in her nostrils and smiled calmly. "It is okay. Let’s not talk about it please." As much as she wanted to swell on it, she knew better than to let it happen, lest she hated him and pushed him away.

"Thank you for forgiving me."

"Welcome." He pulled back and pecked her on the lips. "More," she demanded charmingly. "Kiss me more, husband."

Vidor’s felt his heart become full of joy. Never in his life would he believe this day would ever come. And no matter how many times she acted cute and shy, he still found it disbelieving she was his and the very same Era he married.

"You never cease to amaze me," he complimented her. With smiles etched on his face, he pressed his lips against hers again and kissed her more deeply than before.

On the outskirts of the city, three men dressed a bit differently from the normal people walking around, sat atop horses as they rode into the city.

"My Lord," one of the men called out in a whisper.

"Yes?"

"Shouldn’t we buy a change of clothes and dress similar to the people of the city?" The young man suggested. "You know ever since Caspian was removed from his post, things have been tight," he reminded.

"Hmm." He cast his gaze around and found the stairs a bit disturbing. "Fine." Let us highlight from the horses and get to the nearest shop."

"Yes, my Lord."

His eyes shone with brilliance as he stared up above. The men at his side followed his line of sight before turning their heads to look at him.

"Let us go."

They found a spot and got down from their horses and led the horses to one of the stables. Once the horses were kept and paid for, they located the nearest shop and purchased a change of clothes.

"My Lord, where to next?"

"Have someone get in touch with our spy. We would be staying at a different inn this time around."

"Got it."

Yonder did not move from where he stood. His eyes seemed to wander and at the same time find what he was searching for. ’Hmm, I am back, Vidor. This time, be prepared for your end.’

His eyes dimmed and a dark glint flashed before his eyes, mirroring his killing intent.

"My Lord?" the second man by his side called out.

"Yes? We move."

The first young man disappeared from his side and mixed up with the crowd of people in search of another inn.

A few hours later, Aeverie picked up the dishes the king and Queen had used in eating and ordered Azzura to get them out. She waited on Era, to see if there was any other thing she needed, considering she had taken her bath and eaten.

"Aeverie," Era’s soothing voice called out to her.

"Yes, your majesty," she lifted her eyes a bit to look at Era and found Vidor’s hand on the Queen’s stomach.

Her heart skipped a beat. ’Don’t tell me... The wait was Evans right?’ Aeverie asked in her mind.

"Aeverie," she watched her lady royal remain absent-minded. "Aeverie?"

Era turned her head to the side to look at Vidor. Giving her a comforting smile, he shrugged and gestured towards Aeverie.

They had a silent communication but in the end, Era got to him and he helped her out.

"Aeverie," his deep masculine voice rang out, loud and sharp, pulling Aeverie from her thoughts.

"Ah!" Her gaze tore from Era’s stomach to Vidor. His questioning gaze seemed to pin her down where she was. It was as though he read her mind and it dreaded her.

"Y-your m-majes-sty."

"Stop stuttering. Your queen called you."

She bowed her head and looked ta Era. "Forgive me, your majesty. What needs do you need me to tend to for you?"

"Nothing actually," Era smiled as she laced a hand over Vidor’s on her tummy. "You may go now. I would rest a while before resuming work for the day."

"Alright. I would come with some desserts for you before you resume work if that is okay with you?"

"Yes. Thanks," Era appreciated her and smiled.

Getting the cue, she bowed her head before them. Took three steps backwards before turning around and exiting the chambers.

They waited until she was out of the room before saying or doing anything.

"You always give my attendants a fright, don’t you?"

"I am very innocent," Vidor exonerated himself.

"No, you are not. If not that your hands were on my tummy, would she think naughty thoughts?"

"What has my hand being on your tummy have to do with being naughty?"

"Now she would think I have been knocked up."

0_0

It took some seconds for him to process her words and once he did, his eyes burned bright and narrowed smoothly as he peered his gaze at her tummy.

"I would be proud to one day have my seed growing in you."

"Seed?" she let out a small laugh. "You are funny. It is called sperm, naughty king."

"Well I planted it in you, so it can be called a seed."

"Hold on. There was no planting. At least not yet."

"There would be planting soon, my love. I cannot wait to have your belly grown and a small you running around the palace grounds."

"No." Era giggled. "I want a small you growing in me. That way when he is born, I can make you jealous."

"No matter what, I am the first. I am the first baby. They, whether male or female comes second. You cannot treat me any less," he pouted at her.

"Hahaha..." she let out a soft laugh at his joke. Boy was he so cute. Anyone who saw him now, would not think of him as the monster people thought he was.

He was better. Way better and too good. The question was, what changed?

"Do not worry. If he looks like you, then I can pamper you together," Era teased.

"No," he pouted again. "She should look like you so I get to pamper her and then you pamper me."

"It is you against us. Do not worry, you would give in."

He smiled back at her and kissed her forehead. "I love you."

"Me too."

"Great. And now, let us go on a proper date soon. I have pampering and spoiling for you," Vidor suggested. "Lot more pampering."

Nodding her head, she rubbed on the back of his palm before resting her head properly against him.

"Alright. As you wish."
