Queen Era: The Monster I Love - Chapter 174

CHAPTER 173

Now she was going to go back to her title as Lady Diona and what other disappointment did she get? A scene of Vidor and Era kissing outside for all to see as the king held his beloved, finally stating to all that no one but her held his heart.

“WHY!”

From where he stood, he could see the seething rage in his daughter’s eyes but he couldn’t quell it now.

“Why?” she asked again, not bothering to even come down one bit. Her father had disappointed her. What was he thinking joining forces with the enemy?

He had gone to battle with Vidor before with Vidor, how come he could not forsee the outcome of this battle and instead made them the laughing stock.

She thought he said they could trust Yonder for victory but even the famous Yonder Blaze was all a show.

“Diona, calm down,” he admonished her.

“I cannot keep calm, father. No way!”

And why is that?”

“We lost!” Every word that fell out of her mouth was vile and with so much anger in it. She was not willing to be calm.

“Do you think yelling like this would solve any problem?”

She could not answer. Of course, no amount of yelling you, d so.ve their predicament, especially as people would find it weird. Etheria’s victory was supposed to believe to everyone. No one wanted to be outrun by enemies and made slaves in their own home.

And even the colonies under Vidor whom he conquered, they preferred to be j der Vidor than another kingdom and no from one suffering to another.

“Hmm.” he took several steps in her direction, dropping his armour to the ground and standing half-naked before herm with just his trousers on.

“Daughter, I am tired and disappointed too but please do not add to my problems.”

“Father.”

“Do you know how annoying it is to bow before that low queen? I had to even when if things were alright we would have been the one she would bow to bug I am thinking now.”

“Thinking about what?” Fiona asked, folding her arms in front of her chest.She was least bothered about his own anger, hers was her own business because she warned him.

“Things were going according to plan prior. Vidor had ridden to City Meth with a few soldiers thinking that was all he needed to bring victory but we had a counter plan, allow him to exhaust himself and then the reinforcement arrive and take him down.”

“Okay, it sounded like a perfect plan, so what happened? It should e that no matter how strong Vidor is, he cannot take them all on, when so e of his soldiers would be dead.”

“Exactly m6 point. I do not understand myself considering Damian wasn’t even aware of what happened but surprisingly, he returned with the king, having the King’s royal guards with him.”

“So you are saying his majesty played you and entrusted them to him?” Diona asked. She wasn’t so sure of that reason but it seemed to be the case.

“No, there wasn’t enough time for that. The message came and I delayed before reaching out to him. If there was anything, he was bothered about Era and her whereabouts and although I tried to fix things in such a way that Era would be blamed he did. It believe and rode because of her. So there was no way any of this could have happened and his majesty would know.”

“Or do you think his majesty suspects you?What if he knew of the battle before you reported it?”

“I doubt. Those in Meth answers to me. Something is definitely wrong somewhere. And right now we can only wait for Yonder to reach out to us and explain in details what really went down in the battle or what went wrong as the case maybe.”

“You still want to work with him.”

0_0

Her face looked ashen with shock at her father’s words. “Do you think he would not make things difficult? I suggest you cut him off now if he still lives, of which I doubt Vidor would be so kind to do.”

“We can only hope.”

“Hope for that loser? If he cannot simply take down Vidor, he doesn’t deserve my hope.”

“Diona!” Caspian yelled. He was tired of her lousy complains. “I know I trained you so much to be funny and devious but when it comes to battle, Vidor is second to none. Do you know why he is really named Vidor the conqueror, the tyrant king and a monster? It is because of his ruthlessness in battle. It is because of the terror his wickedness brings. In the eyes of Vidor, everyone was one and the same, so he slaughtered with no second thought. It was like a situation where the butcher had been released.”

The way he spoke, Diona, though may not have been on the battle field, she could quickly grasp the situation easily.

He walked past her, going straight for his window with his eyes looking out and into the sky.

*Flashback*

Thunderclap!

“Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!”

“Noooooo….”

“Run, hide… arrhhh hide..”

Slash!

SWOOSH!

“Urrrghhh!”

“Help!”

“Spare me!”

SLASH!

With each swing of his sword, he brought down his enemies, one by one, slashing through them as though they were nothing more than mere dolls used for trading.

SPLASH!

He turned his hand, making his wrist move to another direction as he thrusted with all his mind backward, taking his sword deep into the belly of his inc9ming enemy.

The man had hoped to land a sneak attack against him while he was busy but Vidor’s blood thirsty spirit already knew and thrusted to kill his victim.

POW

Pulling his sword from the man’s stomach he landed a heavy lunch in front, sending the pan straight to the ground.

He swung his sword again, sending more men down to the ground.

After rushing through the onslaught of new soldiers sent to attack him, he smiled, enjoying their wails as it rode up in the bloodied sky, with more thunderclap resounding behind them.

To add to the even more scary war zone, the rain began to fall in torrent, making the ground slippery for most of the soldiers but rather than slowing down his speed and attack, Vidor became even more fierce and he ploughed down on them.

Somewhere not so far from where he was fighting, stood another man with bloodthirst raging in his eyes but rather than fighting, he took a pause and watched the other man slaughter his way through.

It was a massacre.

Seeing the king before him, he knew Vidor wasn’t normal. The way he moved, flexed his muscles, smiled at the pain in his enemies eyes and enjoying their screams only made him seem like the devil had descended from hell to bring more souls.

He may have been born human but he acted none like that.

SWOOSH!

“What are you staring at, Caspian? Fight! Can’t you just feel the joy? Hahhaaa…” Caspian was shocked. Although Vidor fought his own battle, he could still manage to save him from the attacker behind. Scary!

Althrough their battle, Caspian could only watch in awe while fighting every now and then at the battle scene.

That was the king. The mad king in battle who did not have time to flirt or sleep with women but derived pleasure from his numerous killings in battle.

*Flashback Ends*

“Now that is how maddening Vidor can be. Do you think that even if he is outnumbered he would easily be defeated?”

“What can I say? I haven’t been with him in battle but since you have, I thought there was some kind of counter measure.”

“Yes, we had and that was to continue swarming him with soldiers till he can no longer take it.”

Diona let out a soft sigh before turning to look at her father. “Do you think it would have been easy to defeat him that way?”

“He would have been defeated.”

“How sure are you?”

“Because, once I thought him like someone who was a God but now, seeing him grow feelings for his queen, he is but a mortal man.”

“Sigh. Even then in those days, according to the Greeks, the gods did have affection for women. It simply means that no matter who he is, he has a weakness and that would be Era.”

“True, so his fear for her safety, already made him weak and lose focus. With that and the constant surprise plus little battle strength, he was sure to die in that battle.”

She shook her head, letting out another sigh before making her way towards his bed to sit. “What do we do now?”

“We wait. Wait to see Vidor’s actions and also to see if Honder would contact us.”

“Oh, by the way, don’t you think he would feel betrayed that you might have lied about Vidor’s strength?”

“I doubt Diona. Yonder is an enemy, he should be well aware of Vidor’s might.”

“In that case, we can only hope for things to be in our control.”
