Chapter 245

"Ora. Nice name for a skinny boy." Vidor’s eyes washed over him once more before he voiced out the words that would leave Era’s heart thudding wildly in her chest.

"Raise your head let me get a look at your face."

Damian’s breathing hitched but he did not do anything or say anything. If he tries to deprive Vidor, it would only make the king become persistent. Now all their hope relied on someone else.

Regardless of his command, Eleora kept her face hidden. "I gave an order young one."

"My apologies, sire. He is a scared little boy and he does not like people looking at him."

"Not an excuse. I am king and my word stands." The more he spoke, the angrier Vidor was getting.

He usually had everyone at his beck and call. He hated it when he gave an order and it was defiled.

Sensing this, Era latched onto his hand, rubbing her breasts against him and whined a bit.

"Your majesty," she mentally gave herself a strike and proceeded. "I want to head back. I do not want to stay here further. Why bother with a kid and ruin your mood when I am here," she tried to persuade.

As much as he did not want to look at her not to quell his anger, he just could not. Just hearing her soft voice in his ears was like she was pressing his button.

"Era, I..."

"You what? Is he more important than me? I want to get back to the room with you. I do not want a ceremony anymore. I have been telling you this and yet you refused me. Now I see your anger is more important than I am."

The second the words fell out of her mouth, he turned to face her fully and grabbed her face in his palm as he pressed his lips to hers, kissing her fiercely.

Honestly, she was shocked by his action. It simply meant she had struck a chord in his heart and not a pleasant one.

Upon opening his eyes, Era noticed the deep change in his dark onyx eyes. He wanted her and his need arose more than anything, blocking out the anger she once saw in those beady eyes.

"Vidor..."

"Don’t you ever say those words again," he commanded. "Never in your life should you say I prioritize someone over you," he warned.

Era never got the chance to respond to his warning when she felt his intense gaze wash over her lips and he kissed her again.

All the while, Eleora had to keep down her head. She was itching to see young couples kiss for the first time and so close but this was no ordinary young couple.

It was his majesty, King Vidor of Etheria and her big sister.

Regardless, her fear never showed. Rather, her fearlessness was all that lingered on. Ignoring the danger signs, she slowly lifted her head to see what the adults did shamelessly in her present.

Before Eleora’s head could fully be lifted, she felt a push, sending her head back down and covering her face fully with the hood.

She felt like spanking some sense into Damian for the interruption but he was right and she was going to be a big treat to Era’s life.

Resigning herself to her fate, Eleora moved back slowly, to behind Damian and waited for them to finish their romance.

’Tsk, what a naughty king. How can he openly show his affection for my sister in presence of a young lad? Doesn’t he have shame for her privacy? Hmm... And this old man Damian, stealing all the fun. I don’t see him turning his head away? Why am I not allowed?’

With her thoughts spiralling out of control, Eleora waited patiently and when they were done, Vidor whipped his head in her direction and saw her hiding while gripping Damian’s trousers hard.

"You see, you have scared the little one. Not everyone is as mouthy as Jordan. Let him be."

He nodded his head, pulling his gaze back up to look at Damian. By now Damian had turned his head away, not wanting the king to catch him.

"Hmm, you are as naughty even while old. I felt your gaze, Lord Damian."

"My apologies your majesty. That was not my intention at all."

"No worries."

"You are still delaying. Let’s go to my chambers already."

"And you are too eager. Do be careful what you wish for because I may just give it to you, huh, naughty queen."

She lowered her head and pinched at his side before muttering to herself. "Naughty king calling innocent queen naughty."

’I heard that." He chuckled lightly and without saying anything to Damian, he lifted his free hand and waved, while leading Era away from there, straight to where she wanted to be.

As soon as they left, a heavy sigh fell off Damian’s lips. "That was a close one, I must say."

"Yes. But a lovely one. I see big sister is happy now."

"Well, a good eye you have got there. That is definitely not her faking it. She is genuinely happy with his majesty. What about you? Are you happy?" He lowered his gaze to speak to her but heard her say nothing.

He sensed something amiss and looked around, only for his eyes to land on someone not so far from them.

His brows furrowed deeply but he made no meaning to it and turned his head away. "Let;’s go."

"Lord Damian!" Damian halted briefly, lifting his head in admiration of the beautiful sunset.

"Lord Damian," he called again. Rushing up to him, he bowed his head before him with a smile. "It is I, Jordan, his majesty’s ward."

"I see. How are you?"

"Fine. I saw you and thought I should pay my respect. My father always looked up to your fighting style," Jordan added.

"How nice. Okay, I need to leave, speak another time Jordan."

"Sure. Have a nice ride." He bowed his head briefly and watched from the corners of his eyes as Damian and Eleora left.

The second they were completely gone, a light shimmered in his eyes, while a smirk formed on his lips as his eyes dimmed further.

’Just what are you hiding, My Lord and why is the queen involved?’
