Queen Era: The Monster I Love - Chapter 122

CHAPTER 120

“You are a MONSTER KING.”

The pain he felt in his heart increased further, leaving nothing more than an ache and void in his heart. Trying to escape the anguish in his heart, Vidor opened his eyes, only to be faced with her daring face and anger filled eyes.

He felt his heart, break again at the sight before him. His longing and yearning for her increased automatically and before she knew what was going on, he took a step forward quickly, held her face and kissed her fully on the lips.

His eyes closed as he pressed his lips harder on hers but all she did was stare in shock but soon he opened them again and licked her lower lip.

It had only been for about five seconds while Era was first shocked as she tried to reason what was going on and when she did, she pushed him away sharply, taking a step back from him and wiping her lips clean.

At that moment she caught a flicker of pain in his eyes, mirroring the ones she saw when he kissed her.

But right now that wasn’t the problem. Whether or not he was angry or sad was not her business. He had done so much. Who was he to just kiss her like that?

<Author: He is your husband damn it!>

<Era: To me, he is just a monster.>

<Author: Oh this child *shakes head*>

“I…” he closed his eyes again.

He was acting strange and knew that. It had just been one heck of a day. His mind was messed up and he could opt control his thoughts anymore.

All he knew was that he wanted to so much kiss her and finally, he let go and did what his heart wanted so much.

Even though she wiped his lips off of hers, he never regretted it although her actions did hurt him could he complain?

If given the chance, he knew he was going to do it again and again.

‘Come on what is wrong with me?!’ Vidor yelled in his head.

At that moment he wanted to throw caution to the wind and throw all logical reason away and just go in again, kissing her deeply till he could taste every fibre in her being and pour his emotions in.

He was going mad because of her but there was nothing he knew he could do to stop his want for her.

Right now, she looked liked crack to a drug addict. She was his crack and he was addicted to her. Her smell, her smile, her looks and now, her lips.

Unknown to him, he was making different facial expressions as his won confusion and worry skyrocketed.

She knew something was wrong but she could not place it. All she knew was that the man standing before her was not the monster king she married. He looked pitiful but it wasn’t her pity she was going to offer him. He deserved nothing from her.

“Do not even dare apologize,” Era’s voice resounded in his mind.

“This is you, simply. A monster.”

“Fine.” She was shocked by his reply and honestly, that was not the response she was hoping to get. She thought e would be angry or better still, feel pain. She wanted to hurt him even more and was glad that she got a way to do so.

“Fine, call me all the names you want. I know I have erred and no matter what I do, it would not change the past but I hope.”

“Hope is damned,” Era rudely interrupted. “You want to know what I think about all of this? I do not care and how sure am I that you can be sorry? And you would change.”

“I will.”

“You see, it sounds so unbelievable to me as Jordan’s words did sound to you. Once trust is broken, it cannot just be patched up. It is earned and don’t you dare think what you did for Jordan today is going to change anything. It is just a needle in a haystack.”

“Then what do I do?”

“Do not ask me that. Think and do the right thing.”

With that, she turned around swiftly and stormed away from him going forward.

Vidor did not move, he took a deep breath, recounting all of her words in his mind. He knew he had crossed the line and if she mattered so much to him, he needed to fix things but just how was he planning on doing that?

Looking back now, he had made so many wrong decisions but as of then, they all felt like the right decisions to him. Why now did it all turn sour and felt so wrong?

The thought that he was putting so many people through so much pain was even what was more irritating to him. ‘No wonder in her eyes, I would always be, a monster king.’

Neigh!!

Looking up, Vidor was a bit shocked to see Era mounting her horse while his horse was by her side.

The look on her face told him she was still mad at him but that anger only made her look so beautiful that his ache and worries were washed away with one look at her.

Rather than turning in the left direction after she released his horse’s reins and tapped on the beast to go meet her master, Era turned White beauty towards the right path.

Alarmed, Vidor rushed forward and held his horse’s reins. “Wait, where are you going?”

“Back to the palace and my chambers.”

He gulped. She was still so mad at him.

“But I thought we were going to…”

“After all of this? Hell no. Besides, the person I am looking at right now, is very unstable I would take my chances and call it over for one day and return to the palace first.”

“But…” He lowered his gaze. How was he going to get her to calm down first?

This was the first time since the whole incident happened that she ever lashed out at him like this. Not being one to know her temperament, he did not know how to get close to her or start a conversation.

“Fine. Let us head back to the palace.” Setting his horse straight, he climbed atop the beast and turned it to face the right path, only for him to see that Era had already left him.

‘Urgh, women. Such… Tsk. You win. I lost.’ He thought to himself before increasing his pace and going after her.

To his surprise, Era increased her own pace on her horse and rode faster away from him.

‘Is she serious right now? Is that how much…’

“Come on boy. Atta, catch up,” he ordered his horse and charged after her.

***

By the time they arrived at the palace, Era was already out of breath but if she was given the opportunity, she would try again and leave him.

Recalling the promise he made to Jordan, he first went to meet Jordan at the gate and informed him of the little boy that would come to the palace a few days from now before heading straight for the stables.

On getting there, Era was already feeding her white stallion with some sugar cubes as she petted the proud and lovely animal.

Once again, it had only gotten Vidor jealous. He wished he was the injured Jordan or the tired horse, all just to get her attention and allow her to touch him.

By the time she turned around and saw him watching her, she turned her face away and quickly fed White beauty with the last sugar cube.

She patted his hair and hugged him close then placed a chaste kiss on his nose bridge before handing him over and going away.

All the while, Vidor watched in awe and jealousy as she treated the animal with care and love while all he got was her disdain.

‘I really must see Louis and explain. I ruined it all over again.’

“Your majesty.”

He did not answer. He was too busy thinking of his next step to bother.

It was not until he heard a familiar yet annoying voice and one that caused all of his problems, voice that he came back to the presence.

“Your majesty.”

Turning around swiftly, Vidor’s eyes met with his before he lowered his gaze and head, in reverence to him. “Greetings, your majesty.”

“Hmm, rise.” His mind was not there neither was he interested in anything he was going to say.

“I see your majesty went out for a ride?”

“Hmm.”

“To where might I ask?”

“Nowhere of your concern Caspian.”

“But your grace, you see, it is my duty to be aware of your whereabouts so I can best give you security at all times.”

‘I see, your cunny nature hasn’t stopped right? Hmm, now I see you for who you are, Caspian.’ Vidro thought.

“My security, I have guards for it besides, I can handle myself on my own,” Vidor refuted.

“Nonsense.”
