Queen Era: The Monster I Love - Chapter 156

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

CHAPTER 154

With the arrangements made, Era set out after her guards and other attendants had gone leaving just herself, Alyx and Eleora.

They got to the eye of the forest as before when it just got dark. So they succeeded in getting everyone there and set out just as they had once done to gather supplies and other stuffs for the kids.

On getting to the house, it was already a little late around 9 pm so they knew they had to be fast so they could reach the palace on time, particularly herself.

Knock! Knock!

All the children went still, they had been waiting fir hrt since they found she was coming and now that they heard the knock, they couldn’t move.

If only she could see the kind of effect she was having on the kids.

Together, Anna and Gabriel exchanged glances between themselves and like remotely controllod individuals, their eyes widened and they raced over to the door, unlocking the bolts in a frenzy and pulled on the handle together.

Standing before them were four people, three of whom they were familiar with and the last, a young girl.

For a minute they ignored the younger ones as their happy eyes glazed over the adults, with a small smile appearing on their faces.

“Aunt Ava!”

It was like Anna had just released the wake-up call for the other children. I standby an uproar resounded from behind them as heavy thudding was heard in the house with all children racing towards the door.

Luckily for Era, she had enough sturdy strength behind her cause of the push she got, from everyone trying to hug her at once was enough to make her fall to the ground.

“Hahaha haha,” resounding laughter fell out of her mouth at their rush, while she managed to steady herself and hug as many as she could.

“There, there. Take it easy. Take it easy hehhe…”

“We missed you, aunt Ava.”

They me toned the name again which had further stunned Eleora.

‘Ava? Since when did Era become Ava?’ Eleora wondered within her. ‘Did they not know their queen or was it Era’s intention to let them call her that way?

No matter how she thought about it now, she could not piece it together and even more, she was pulled from her thoughts with how clingy they got with her sister.

Not wanting to be left out, Eleora inched closer to Era’s side and hugged her from behind, reminding her silently that she was still there.

Tonghe little girl. She could not believe she was going to share her sister’s love with everyone. She Didi not have it enough to begin with. She had to share with Vidor and the kingdom, now she also had to share with so many kids!

If she could have fainted, she most definitely would have done it to get all of the attention and care.

Sensing Eleora’s thoughts, Damian smiled at the little child and placed a hand on her shoulders, massaging her shoulder a bit.

She tilted her head back to look at him and was surprised to see a smile on his face.

Leaning in a bit, she whispered to her. “Relax, it is just for a while. You are still her number one sister and no one can change that. You are the only blood sister of Era. Never forget that.”

Understanding him, Eleora nodded and then replied. “Okay.”

She took a few steps back, paving the way for the others to get a chance to hug Era while she watched as the smile plastered on their faces remained.

It was blissful watching them but her jealousy remained.

After some time has passed, everyone got their turn and finally, she and the others were given oppose to enter the house.

To Era’s amazement, they were all in, her attendants were all with the children. No one wanted to miss the chance to see this happen.

Even Aeverie who she thought would be keeping her chambers was present in the meeting.

“Welcome ma,” they greeted.

“Thank you.” she shifted her attention to the children who now all had their attention on Eleora wondering if what they were seeing was actually true.

She had removed the the hood of her cloak and stood at the side, waiting for Era’s introduction.

“Oh yes. Children, as you have been told before now, you would be having someone new join you to stay here. Though you do not know who she is, be rest assured, she won’t bite.”

The room fell silent as the children waited to be told her name and her relationship with Era.

“Aunt Ava, why does she look like you?” Gabriel asked, voicing out the one question running through everyone’s mind.

“Her name is Ora. And she is my sister.”

At the reveal, all the children had their mouth wide open as they looked on in shock.

It was obvious though but seeing it and hearing it straight from Era’s mouth made all the difference.

“Whoa!”

“Wow.”

“Cute.”

They all had their own little opinion about her and it made them wonder what she was like.

Taking a bold step forward, Anna made her way to where Eleora was and smiled at her.

“Hello Orang. My name is Anna. And your big sister is my mama,” Anna introduced.

Blinking twice, Eleora could not understand.

She never jnew her sister had a kid but when her gaze went over to where the others where, she understood fully.

She wasn’t dull so she knew. Bu5 still yhat ounce of jealousy remained.

Nevertheless, she had promised Era to behave and she was going to do just that.

Stepping forward, she came to stand before Anna and took the hand the little Anna had strrtched out to her and smiled a bit too.

“Nice to make your acquaintabce, little Anna.”

“Hehhhee… You’re little too Ora. I guess i would call you Little Ora.”

For a second thwre, Wlelora grow! wd. That name was sttictky for Era to call her. How comes someone else knew of it?

She looked at Era and all she got was a nod, giving her the go ahead.

“Fine. I guess you can call me that.”

No sooner had they fi oshed talking than Gabriel joined in.

“Hello, Ora. My name’s Gabriel. It is a pleasure to meet you.”

“The pleasure is all mine, good sir.” She gave a charming smile to him which had made Era’s brows to be raosed at them.

Ho-ho. The little ones sure were getting along.

Did Eleora just find a male she liked? This was good. Apparently, not only Era saw but the others too.

Before anyone could make note on it, the other children rushed forward and began to talk yo her and introduce themselves.

If there was anything, they liked her mannerism. It was primped and proper of a typical noble lady. You could take the girl out if the palace but not the palace lifestyle out if the girl apparently.

They all spent time being together and showing Eleora their things and toys.

For the next one hour it was a noisy place to begin. At that moment Era was left alone as everyone wanted to beforend Eleora.

Finally, it was time for her to go. She wished shw could stay but even till that moment, she was not at peace for the fact that she did not know how Vidor was doing.

Calling Aeverie to the side, she made her intentions known.

“Hey, i need to return to the palace Aeverie but you would stay.”

“What? No your majesty you shoukd stay with her and the kids. Your presence would mean a lot for them.”

“I know but not today. Another day i woukd sleep over. You on the other hand, you would sray with them. I have some things to go and take care of there. Please. Everyone of us cannot leave at the same time, it would be suspicious.”

“I understand, your grace. As you wish. Is Lord Dalian sending you back?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. Let me call Anna and Eleora for you.”

“Thanks.” Once they were brought beforw her, Era knelt down in front of them on kne knees while smiling brilliantly at them.

“Sister.”

“I am sorry Ora but I won’t be staying the night with you. ”

“Why?”

“I still have somethings i need to do and it is not safe to stay out too long. Do not worry, you ahve Anna here and the others. They would take care of you.”

“Okay.”

“Anna, please look after her for me. I know you two would be best of friends. Once i have gotten things settled a bit, i would come visit and spend the night.”

“Promise?” Anna asked, makingbher to pinky swear.

“Promise.” She took her pinky finger and they cut it. “Now be good okay?”

“Okay.” She hugged them both and went to say goodbye to the others before talking to her attendants and having one of them go bavk with her.

In no time, Azzura, Era and Damian set out, returning to the castle.

All through their journey, her mind was focused on one thing, one person.. Vidor.
