Queen Era: The Monster I Love - Chapter 179

CHAPTER 178

So you would like to take her punishment?” Caspian kept mute. He was pleading for her punishment to be light not to take on her punishment because from the looks of things and how Vidor operated, he would ask Era to chose which punishment would suffice.

So he wasn’t planning on leaving his fate to her decision.

“I thought as much. Now, Diona, you have the grace to either sit down an don’t yournfathr take whatever comes to him or, you would do the needful as you have said an stake whatever comes with it. Agreed?”

“Yes, your majesty. I am not backing down. When I am done, you would see this was all a misunderstanding.”

“Okay then. Let the hearing begin.”

“Yes, your majesty. Thank you.” she peeled her gaze off Vidor and looked over at Era. Though this matter involved her, she did not look bothered or disturb at all. Instead she smiled and watched everything happen before her.

Inhaling briefly, Diona looked at everyone and began. “Your majestic, earlier on before your arrival, y king, my father only meant to compliment the Queen.”

“Not helping. I already said it, is he worthy to complete my wife or is he planning on stealing her affection?”

“No one dares do that and my father is no exception. We all know her majesty’s affection belongs to you.”

“Good.”

“Also, what he meant, he did not dare say it so as to not infringe and intrude on your majestic, personal life.”

“Hotbthe nail already on the heard, Diona, we have no time for games.”

“Yes.” she smiled, giggling a bit. “I believe what my father meant as that unlike yesterday when he was her in common cloths and looking so worried about the battle an now, she looked better, but what he failed to add which was the real meaning of this compliment was the fact that ever since she went in with his majesty and he took her to him, well we all could guess what happened,”

She looked away acting shyly with a hand over her mouth, Diona giggled again and looked at the other ministers. By now they all got her jist and considering the affection both the king and queen displayed before them, or could only mean she was right.

Before the war their relationship was still growing or not even looking so good but after the battle, Era showed a great leap, revealing the hidden secrets behind their love which everyone was shocked about.

Then Vidor reciprocated and kissed her two. They both shared an intimate moment outside, performing their own PDA.

So everyone in their right mind felt like their going in was to continue from where they had left.

First of, it was normal for a man to feel excited and secondly, he was married and with his wife, he would naturally want to consummate it.

“So we believe after his majesty took care of her majesty yesterday, she is radiating the fruit of his majesty’s hard work,” Diona concluded.

“Ah, yes. Yes, that is true. Hehe your majesty, at this rate, should we be expecting a hear soon,” one of the Lords supporting them quickly chipped in.

A small smile formed on Vidor’s lips. This was interesting.

For the most part, he was amused by how quickly she changed the situation in their favour and had the other members of his nation side with them.

‘Such nasty conniving wench.’ Vidor thought within himself.

While that was in his mind, he stole a glance at Era and noticed she was already feeling embarrassed by what Diona had said. Of a truth, nothing had happened between them but could he say tat out.

Normally that as supposed to happen. He would have loved to make love to her after the fear he went through of almost losing her but he couldn’t because of their past and although no one knew, h knew it wasn’t wise t9nletbthem know.

This was their private life and once people figured out that she was still a virgin and they had not consummated their marriage, they may not believe their show and fight her strong.

So, in other to protect her more, he had to do the needful. Smiling casually, he reached for Era’s hand on the table and lightly touched it. He felt her move but sensing what he was doing, she relaxed a but and allowed him hold her but he could still feel how tensed she was.

On her part, she was tensed mainly because of the other Lord’s word, what did he take her for? A baby making machine? She had not even had sex or foreplay with Vidor and would not have had her first kiss had he not stolen or recently.

To her, she wondered what kind of notion as running through their head that because they kissed, they most definitely should go fucking themselves.

Era was also mad, angry because soon the kingdom would be expecting n heir and then she would have no choice but to give them an explanation.

She knew how all of these would go. Soon they would be on to him if she doesn’t give birth and then some ministers would start teaching for another marriage thinking so etching was wrong with her womb.

All of this had begun weighing down on her and Era could not bother with such right now. Visit may not known yet but she was a lady and when her mother handled some matters of court amongst the wives of some of these Lords, she had a strong grip as to how it went.

“I see, so that was what he was speaking of?” Of course, he knew but considering injuring Caspian and freeing Era from her embarrassment lest she gets angrier and next time refuse to dine with him, Vidor laughed a bit.

Sensing thatbethey had averted the danger, Diona smiled herself and so did the other ministers and Lords.

“Silence!” He bellowed. “Your father was right not to mention that because what goes on in the King’s chambers remains in the king’s chambers and it does not concern anyone. Whether of not an heir is eminent still remains our privacy and not yours,” Vidor corrected.

“Yes your majesty but you know, having an heir would strengthen the kingdom and your backing. The people would feel more secured and hopeful for the nation, knowing fully well that his majesty has who would continue his good work.”

“As I said, Conrad, that is my private matter.”

“Know you not, that the matter of the king and his household is everyone’s business?” zconrad questioned again.

He was not planning on dropping the issue to bet Viodr uncomfortable and later, make him release Caspian.

“Tsk, well I Vidor would only choose to make my business private if I want to. The rest of the kingdom would have to bear with it.”

“Very well, your majesty. As you wish.”

“Yes. Anyways, I would keep my words. You may return to your seat, Caspian and Diona, you managed to please me a bit. And since I do not want to ruin the mood of my queen, blood would not flow.”

“Yes, your majesty. Thank you for your benevolence.”

She bowed down before him, then shifted her gaze to Era who tried her best wear one of her professional look and bowed to her as well. “Thank your majesty. My apologies for my father’s rude remarks. It was I called for.”

“It is okay. Since you explained, I guess we cannot call it rude anymore. If there is anything, he simply agreed with his majesty that my beauty surpasses all and that includes you, his daughter, Diona.”

She had deliberately don that to out Diona in net place and it worked. She looked like someone who had seen a ghost from the comment that was given by Era.

If not that they were before dignitaries, she would not have hesitated go insult Era back.

Taking the insult in good faith, Diona bowed to her again. “I dare not hope to be compared to his majesty’s royal muse. Your beauty far surpasses mine. It is an honour that her majesty recognizes my beauty at all. This humble citizen thanks, her royal majesty.”

“Yes. You may take your seat.”

Caspian bowed again at both of them and thanked them.

This was indeed an embarrassing moment in his life. He looked over at his daughter from where she sat opposite of him and gave her a sign, silently thanking her for saving his neck.

“Now, no time to be dull, everyone. Let the breakfast begin,” Vidor announced.

“Yes, your majesty,” they chorused but not Era.

Noticing this, he pulled closer to her and leaned in so he could whisper into her ears. “Eat my queen. I have settled it and ensured he knows his place. No one would dare you now.”

“Thank you but I could take care of myself.”

“It is okay. Do not be modest. It wouldn’t hurt for me to support a protect my queen outside.”

“More to me like you just made me more enemies.. East your grace, your people are watching.”
