Queen Era: The Monster I Love - Chapter 178
CHAPTER 177
“If that isn’t what you meant, so it is safe to say that I was tattered before the battle and only after did I radiate? Are you indirectly suspect…”
She did not get to finish her words when he cut her short, trying to prevent her from saying it out and making him look like the bad person.
“No, your grace. I dare not. I only noticed how you radiated and I thought that…”
“That I now compare to your daughter in beauty?” Era stated, taking the words out of his mouth, wrongly. Caspain shivered. Things were starting not to look right for him.
That was never his intention, so how did things suddenly go from north to south with this conversation? He gritted his teeth, clenching his hand into a fist under the table, why he battle to control his anger.
She had win this time. But how was he going to get out of this soup? No sooner had he finished thinking of a way out than they felt the cold calling aura seep into the dinning hall, causing a change in atmosphere before they could think further, his cold voice pierced through.
“NO ONE CAN EVER COMPARE TO THE BEAUTY OF MY QUEEN?”
Era froze upon hearing his voice and unlike the others who turned to see his face, she didn’t.
He took the initiative and walked majestically towards the table, while his cold eyes swept through those seated there. He checked and noticed Damian wasn’t there which would explain why it was Era fighting her verbal battle when he would have helped silent Caspian up since.
He tsked within him and moved towards his seat, however, rather than sittin* down, he stopped beside Er? She still did not move. It was like her body lost it’s will to move or answer to her command.
She could feel his intense gaze on her body and knew he was waiting for her to do something it she just could not.
Not with all of their verbal war running through her mind and the time they kissed as well.
Her k8nd was a myriad so soon, causing her to go numb in both body and senses. Seeing it was difficult for her, Vidor felt she was still mad at him for yesterday and everything. So he decided to do things on his own. If there was anything, he was happy that she honoured his invitation and came to breakfast.
For the past two weeks it had been war to see her after their fight. She was either sick or too busy. With that, he also lost interest in din8ng with those sad faces and favour seeking souls.
Taking in a deep breath in his mind, he mentally prepared himself for whatever it as she was going to do after his action. Without further ado, Vidor leaned down to her level and brought his face close to hers.
She still did not move but shut her eyes intermittently as she could feel his warm breath hit her skin on her shoulder.
Without being told she knew he as close, very close.
“No one, I repeat again, no one born on this earth or under the sun and moon can compare to the beauty of my queen.” He smiled close to her ear, ensuring she hard every single word.
By now all attention was on them, though his ministers and Lord tried to make it less obvious that they were watching and hid their faces a bit but their full attention was on them.
Finally she opened her eyes and decided to look at him. Perhaps that would make him stop, Era thought. If only she knew what a big mistake that was for her.
At the same time, Vidor felt like, she was not going to bulge and decided to kiss her on the cheek.
However, the moment he brought his lip to her cheek, Era turned her head to face him and their lips met. Instantly both of their eyes flew wide open, not expect g the reactions and action of the other but so as not to ruin the act, Vidor quickly snuck his hand behind her head and when she tried pulling back, she couldn’t and he took this opportunity when she gasped to sneak his tongue between her lips and locked her there a bit, while kissing her lips, enjoying the sensation her softness against his brought.
After a few seconds, he pulled back and smiled at her still shocked expression. “Now that is the description fit for my queen.”
He stood straight, looked back at those at the table. Quickly most lowered their gazes, soemgurned their head away but Caspainannd Diona looked at them.
For Diona, she did not have it. Her clenched fist was visible on the table even though he face had neutral expression. She was mad with rage and Viodr noticed.
Unlike her father, she still had a long way go go in hiding her emotions. He knew she liked him, at least her actions in trying to seduce him spoke volumes but Vidor wasn’t affected. His heart beats in his chest for only one human being and that as Era. Nothing could change that.
Just to add salt to the injury in Diona’s heart, he licked his lips ever slowly, shouting his eyes sexilh and then reopening it with his mouth closed.
He just basked in the memory of what they shared and it was magnificent.
Like h had expected, her knuckles turned white from his actions, she was enraged but tha5 only amused him t(e more and he did not hide it. “Hahaha, hahaha…” he chuckled lightly, bringing their attention to his direction once more.
“That was lovely.”
It was as though they just recalled that he arrived. Immediately, everyone stood up except Era and bowed before him, welcoming him.
“Greeting you majesty,” they crushed and waited for his go ahead before they had their seat.
“Seat,” Vidor started as he too took his seat.
Once they were all settled, he brought up the earlier discussion. He wasn’t going to let just anyone bully his queen when h was not around.
“So, you were comparing my queen to be lest than your daughter, Caspian?”
“No, sire. I wouldn’t dare dream of doing something like that.”
“Is that so? Because I heard well. Except you are mow calling my queen a liar.”
“No, your grace. I dare not. I only appreciated her beauty,” he quickly tried to curry Vidor’s favour.
“Who are you to appreciate her beauty or do you mean to tell me that you now fancy my bride and covet her?”
Quickly, Caspain stood up and rushed towards Vidor’s seat. It was a grave offence for the king to accuse him of wanting his property dan otjust property now, his wife and queen.
He went to Vidor, bowing his body low before I’m as he began to apologise. “I would never run m6 life dare to do or sa6 that. I was only stating that she looked beautiful today and nothing more.”
“So you are saying she doesn’t look beautiful every other day?”
“No sore, as compared to when she was not properly dressed in her royal robes yesterday.”
BAM!
“What insolence!” Visit roared, hitting the table with force and sending fear with chills down the spine of everyone seats there.
They could see his rage. It was obvious Caspian was falling into Vidor’s trap more and more. “Be it in common clothes, royal robes and gown or even bridal gowns, my queen is beautiful. Herebauty does not change.”
“Yes, y-yeee-esss, your majesty. I-I w-was stupid to state otherwise. My apologies for offending you majesty and her majesty.”
He turned towards Era and bowed before her thrice and then returned to Vidor with his upper body still lowered.
Seeing the way things were going, Diona knew that if she did not interfere how, then she may have to lose her father or his tongue be cut off.
She cleared her throat, stops up and bowed before Vidor in the most lady .kke manner she could conjure. “Your majesty, if I may,” she began calmly.
“Yes.”
“Your majesty. I believe you have gotten the whole idea mixed up. Those as not my father’s intention.”
He narrowed his eyes at her best looking away at the others. “Is that so? Okay then, you state what he meant and of it isn’t pleasing enough, you would take his punishment and be either flogged publicly in the town’s square, a hundred lashes or I have your tongue cut out and you be banished from court.
Gulp!
A loud gulp came out from Caspain. Never would he have imagined his actions would bring this upon them. He thought he was careful.
Regardless of what he thought it felt, the world’s had left Vidor’s mouth and they would achieve it’s purpose if Diona failed to please him.
“Your majesty, please. Ignore my daughter, she did…”
“So you would like to take her punishment?” Caspian kept mute.
