Queen Era: The Monster I Love - Chapter 152

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

CHAPTER 150

“I have never seen him respectful to anyone save for Era.

“Just listening to Vidor voice that out, made his eunuch understand what he meant when he told Jordan that Era was off-limits.

“I see.”

“By the way,” Vidor looked up. “What do you think of him?”

“He is a nice lad, your majesty and you are right, he went through rough and finalized in his heart that people are like that. For such a kind of person, all he needs is love and is heart would be changed and open to people.”

“Okay. Thank you very much. I would saddle you with the responsibility of doing that for him.”

“Yes, your majesty. Sire, if I may ask, do you really intend on keeping him from seeing her majesty?”

“If I can, then yes, but there is a likelihood that I maynnobe able to do that.”

“Why?”

“You know why. I asked her not to show her face before me and she seems to have been doing a pretty job at that.”

“Like I said, she needs time. Time has all wound and same goes for Jordan. Time would heal him as well.”

“Then perhaps it would be right if I let them be together.”

Sensing the confusion going on in his eunuch’s mind, Viodr let out a hard laugh and smiled. “Your mind is filty. I meant allow him be one of her attendants. He needs the love and somehow, Era cannot just only relate but she feels like protecting him.”

“From what?”

“Me. She wants to protect him from me and all the hurt I can conjure to someone else’s life. Though I would not won’t hurt him further. Quite the contrary at that. I want to fix things and make things right.”

“I trust your decisions your majesty. You need to make them all see and perhaps when her majesty sees the change, she would start reciprocating the feelings.”

“You think so?”

“I may not say u know so, but I can tell you I believe so. Trust your instincts and your love for her. If Jordan is what she needs, due to the hurt you caused herm give her a way to heal. Allow her spread her wings and be free. Do not keep the bird locked up in a cage for long to prevent it from losing it’s ability to fly.”

“Thank you. Your words are duly appreciated.”

****

Just like what they had told Jordan, he got a change of room to something bigger, he had even be given new clothes and was eating proper meal. He had not expected for Vidor to treat him so but he was treated with so much care and even the eunuch wasn’t keeping the eofd of them soeaking without permission.

Within a week he had grown accustomed to working there and honestly, he had little to no work most times that it made him wonder why Vidor had asked for him in the First place but when he thought back on that fateful night he understood.

The King in his good graces had seen him over working himself just to get extra coins so he decided to offer him something better.

Turns out his offer came at the perfect to time. For the first time in months, Jordan got preferential treatment more than before and he was happy doing his work.

He that and thought that the work would be too much turns out he was even pampered and sometimes treated like a important person.

Though he knew he needed to talk to Vidor and thank him since he had a wrong impression about him, he hardly ever got the chance to as Vidor rarely had need of him.

So while he was at it, he planned himself waiting for the perfect time and opportunity to do the needful.

On that very day, he had been called in by Vidor to check his bath and prepare his outing clothes as he planned to go for his usual scout when Jordan took the opportunity.

“Your majesty.”

“Yes? Is there any problem? If you cannot do it, call on someone who can.”

Though he sounded pissed. It was actually because he was in no mood for plays and just wanted to fix his kingdom better and hopefully get Era to notice him again.

“Yes your majesty. I can do it. Be rest assured.”

“Hmm.”

Without further ado he swallowed what he wanted to say and raced to get the things done.

Minutes later~

“Your majesty, everything is ready.”

“Okay.”

Though he had seen Vidor on few occassions, the way he looked today, the aura about his seriousness made him nervous some how and he wondered if it was a good time to speak in the first place.

Taking his chances, he lowered his head and spoke up. “Your majeaty.”

“Finally. I thought the cat had gottwn you tongue seeing as you grew silent all of a sudden. This is not the Jordan I know.”

‘Technically I was rude earlier and did not know your position plus there are much rules about being with you. It feels so stiffening.’ Jordan voiced out in his mind but outwardly he was as mute as a mouse.

“Hmm. It’s stiffening right?”

“No your majesty. N-Not at all.” He stuttered mildly.

“Not at all. He did warn you before hand, didn’t he? Edgar, I mean.”

At the mention of Edgar’s name, Jordan felt like smacking his forehead. He had recalled everything on how he was persuaded but he refused. It was just heaven punishing him that was it.

**Flashback**

After his encounter with Vidor and discovering he was king, thwn dismissed ro get his breakfast he rushed towards Edgar to plead with him one more time and see if anything could be done.

The fact that Vidor did not punish instantly did not mean he wouldn’t later, so he took his chances.

He still could not forget the look on Edgar’s face that time when he saw him. It was priceless, almost having the I warned you look on it.

He laughed out when he uttered that sentence.

“Please sir, can any change be done? I do not want to work for his majesty anymore.”

“Hahhaaaaaa….” His laughter went on and on, causing attention from people passing by till minutes later when he stopped.

“Did or did I not tell you, there was no going back? You had your chance Jordan, enjoy it while you can.”

“But sir, you didn’t tell me Mr Vid was his majeaty.”

“Though thou we’re smart eh. His name is short for Vidor, his majesty Vidor. That was thw most easiest. Not just anyone can get job in the palace, else so many would have. That should have told you who he was.”

“Yes. I was the stupid one.”

**Flashback Ends**

“Hello? Jordan are you there?” Vidor snapped his fingers at him.

“Yes, your majesty. I am not complaining sire. Yes it may seem that way because if the rules but I can manage.”

“Hahhhaaahhaa… I guess he really shook you up, didn’t he?”

Standing up from where he sat he made his way over towards his dresser and placed a hand on Jordan’s young soilders.

“You can relax now, with the rules I mean. I prefer the usual bratty you to this silent mute.”

His cheeks puffed up, giving Jordan an appealing smile.

“It is all good. Relax but no calling me a bully else I would really bully you. So what is it? Speak up.”

At this point, the tears that were gatherrwd in Jordan’s eyes were much. He jad heard news of this man’s brutality but here he was with him, acting like the most gentle soul.

His feet paved way and he fell on his knees before Vidor with his head on the ground.

“My apologies, uour majesty for how rude I have been. I am so sorry for speaking I’ll of you. I know I do not deserve your help but yet you helped me. Please forgive me, your majesty. Please.”

His smile broadened and he looked at his empty hand once holding his shoulder. With that smiling face, he half knelt to his lovely and raisedbhim up to look at him.

Until now, Vidor could not tell why he was so soft wuth the lad but he was happy seeing a change in him.

“I have no problem. If I wanted to get mad, I should have on the first day when you insulted me but you were right. I was selfish with my order and made many families lose their loved ones.”

Hearing this, Jordan lifted his head to look at him and was surprised to see Vidor’s smiling face now a sad one but he still had his bold aura about him.

“Even my queen hates me for taking her people and family away. I cannot bring the dead back to life but I can right the wrong I caused step by step and make things right for my people.”

He really was benevolent. Though he had a maddening taste for power and expansion, he had a true heart.. Just that the goons around him did nasty things in his name and paint a terrible picture of him for him.
