Chapter 242 – Decree

"Your majest..."

"Your lips quiver. Your palm sweat and you forgot to breathe. Those are some of the signs of one who is lying."

Jordan managed a smile and breathed once more. ’If there is anything, your majesty, it is that you are growing rusty for you not to see through the eyes of your queen to protect such secret from you. I may just look to her for help in masking things up.’

As much as he wished to rub that in Vidor’s face. It would be one over him as king and like always he would get jealous of the young lad.

"But, for now, I am more interested in not making my wife scared and hope she accept my decree." Jordan smiled at him in victory.

He knew he could not result from his use of torture on him for the position he was granted. However, the calm expression on Vidor’s face changed and a smirk appeared on his lips.

"Later though, I shall fish it out of you."

Without saying more, he turned around and took his sceptre from Evans and walked majestically over to the door.

"Are you two coming or not?" Vidor asked when he had stepped out and noticed they were not following.

"Right away your majesty," Evans called out and rolled his eyes at Jordan.

Together, all three of them went towards the top building of the palace where they had the biggest balcony overlooking the kingdom and with a view that all could see.

The news had spread wide and everyone had already rushed out to the palace grounds to wait for the mild ceremony.

So it was to be, but with the way they jubilated in their hearts, letting it pour out in terms of their decorative skills, made Vidor wonder if they were into overdoing it.

Although Era did not know so much, it was one of the laws and most kings presented the crown to their queen on their wedding day or the day they put to birth.

Now, he was presenting it to her with his decree. He waited for her but soon enough, he heard the sound of trumpets blowing, and someone announced her arrival.

The big doors leading to the balcony pulled open and Era took her first step. Her heart was beating loudly in her chest when she heard the sound of the trumpet but kept her chill and followed the leading of Arya while the others stayed back.

Her lips pulled back in an effortless smile, while her eyes remained closed behind the satin material as she took the next step forward.

Hearing her name being announced, Vidor turned halfway to see his queen, but the second his eyes landed on her, his jaw dropped and he was left breathless. Never had he seen her dressed like this.

The outfit he had them made, suited her so much that it brought out her shape, snagging everyone’s attention while emphasizing her beauty and majestic self.

His breathing returned, but he could not hide his surprise and turned fully to face her.

With her smile still on and with the crowd going extremely silent after her announcement, she walked closer to him, oblivious of what was happening.

The important ministers present were not left out and each of them bowed their heads before her.

Time seemed to stop before Vidor as he admired his queen. He felt like forgetting protocol and just run-up to her and hold her in his embrace but he had to caution himself and wait.

Before long she finally, got to where he was and Arya bowed her head before him the let Era go. "Your majesty," she greeted, hinting to Era she had done her part.

She smiled still and gave a slight nod at Arya before proceeding forward with both hands clasped in front of her in the most lady-like manner she could muster.

Although her eyes were shut, Vidor could not see any trace of fear whatsoever on her face as she took steps forward.

She had the confidence he was watching and would not let her hurt herself. At least the scar on her wrist proved that to her.

He took a step forward and blocked her path before she got to the edge. "Era."

Her smile broadened when she perceived his sweet perfume. How far had they come? How long did it take for them to reach this state?

She could not count the pains they had to face on their way to achieving this but regardless, she was happy. "Your majesty," she greeted politely and curtsied.

He placed both hands underneath her elbow and helped her back up while he scolded her in their coded manner. "Another strike, Era. You are my equal. I do not need you to pay your respect."

’But we are, outside. Someone would think..."

"Let them think. You have my heart in your hands Era. And that I all that matters to me."

Her smile returned and she nodded. "So does that mean you forgave me?"

"Hahhaa, not in the slightest. I shall make you orgasm again at night. I promise you." She blushed at his remark and lowered her head.

No one heard the naughty words their king told the queen to make her that way but they could well guess he was praising her.

"Time for the big reveal." His gaze lifted from her face to her hair, watching the lovely crown rst on her head. "It suits you."

’Huh, what?"

"Don’t worry. You shall know now."

He left her hand and lifted his hands behind her head to remove the blindfold. "My gift and surprise to you," he said and took it off completely.

She still did not open her eyes and waited for his order. "Such a beauty. Please," he closed the gap between them and pressed a kiss on her red lips.

Shocked by his action, Era raised her brows but kept her eyes shut. Seconds passed and her initial shock went away and soon she returned his kiss.

He did not mine her lipstick and took what was his. Stopping briefly, he ordered on her lips. "Open your eyes, my love."
