Queen Era: The Monster I Love - Chapter 181

CHAPTER 180

“Okay, if you say so but what about the kiss? Your public display of affection was just too real. Are you saying that was…”

“Yes, it was an act and nothing more.”

Thw look Damian gave to her told her he was not easily going to believe that.

Altjough he did not go in with her but thw way and manner in which they kissed, her reaction at his arrival and everything else that went in from there spoke a different thing.

Anyone who saw that would say of a truth, the king and queen of Etheria were deeply in love with each other and he was not an exception.

“But uou rushed up to him like a longing wife, kissed him deeply after the tender hug. Now, Your Majesty, please correct me if I am wrong, how could any of that be false?”

“As I told you, Lord Damian. Yes the anxiety was there and before he cane I had a confrontation with Caspian. There was no telling what was in thw mind of that snake, so I decided to spit him and rushed up to hug Vidor.”

“Hmm. Go on.”

“You see, when I did not ejar any news from you all. I asked him to dispatch the Alpha army to his majesty’s aid and he refused, trying to prove to me that he was in charge. So when I got my chance, I proved who his majesty faboured more, him or myself?”

“Well, I have known Vidor for many years and for many things. One of those is definitely not for falling in love and mixing with women.”

“So you are saying? I lost or what?”

“No, your majesty. You vet me wrong. In this context nothing like that should matter.”

“Why?”

“Simple.” He leaned back, relaxing against his chair as he began to break things down for her. “Neither you nor Caspian is winning at this point and my reasons are as follows,” he concluded, cutting her short before she had thw chance to counter his words.

“First of, everyone knows Caspian as fallen short of his majesty’s favor because of you the treason queen. Forgive my use of words bug I am stating things as they are.”

“Fine. So?”

“Well, while you seem to be at an advantage and Caspian not is because his majesty is taking sides with you more than usual and this as I previously said is not what he so known for. He hates your very existence and that of your species. It is simply impossible for Vidor to fall in love.”

“Forgive me but this is true. We have tried countless times even before we came under Jim. The monster king is void of emotions for any lady. I am sorry to say this, but that weapon between his legs rise to no lady. At one point, people started wondering if he was into men, that was why.”

With all Damain said, Eta was now becoming interested in this tale and wanted to know more.

“Why does he hate our kind? I thought he faboured Diona.”

“He dis because of her father but everyone know that falling out of faboured for Caspian is a minor set back. He kills his enemies and use his cunniness to overtake and take back what he wants. That puts you, your majesty, in heavy danger.”

“If it be that hos majesty is really afbouring you, then you are a target. No sctartch that, you became a target the day he married you and not his daughter, Diona.”

“Did Vidor first make any announcement or move towards her stating he was going to marry her or what?”

“Like I said before, he lived nor admired no woman. Specifically, no female. There was never any arrangements and if not that as I heard, it was an arrangement made by the old king for him, I doubt his majesty would have married you.”

“I was surprised as well and thought that with hos reputation in killing, he would have no regards for females and sleep around as he much liked but I was mistaken.”

“Which brings me to this theory. If hos majesty has not yet consummated hos marriage, there would be no other girl with whom he would get laid with.”

The second he said that, Era felt like hiding her face away. Several quesyions began to hit her mind and she wondered. How come he knew? If he knew does that mama other people knew?

Of a truth he did not sleep jn her chambers that night but she did not go to hos either and insulted him.

Perhaps he word ha e slept with her giving the lustful gaze he had when he came to see her.

It was like an opportunity to finally have sexual relations with someone even though he did not love her and thought of it as a way to bear an heir and continue life.

Whether she was right or wrong about Vidor, no one could tell. All they knew was that he changed for some reason and at sarong time.

“My apologies for saying that but I only want you to have an idea of the kind of person your husband is.”

“Thank you Lord Damian but he did return the kiss.” She had stated this acct because she believed that when they kissed, it was different. He was different.

Everything about him. Most times when he was hurt, he lost control of hos emotions and kissed her.

So having her do that to him, Vidor lost it and did not let her go again. They wouldn’t know except her and him and that was because they spent time tigtehr and she could see that he changed.

He was sad because of her. He was sorry and she could tell. Also his actions towards her changed drastically and he wasn’t bothered how he treated her becuas he loved her.

And just like hos promise to chase after him, a part of her wished he did and not just relent to see if what he said was real.

Also, although she had never been kissed before, the emotions felt wasn’t faked. She could not tell exactly but she trusted her instincts on it.

Besides, he could have had sex with her if he wanted and at any given point in time. All he needed to do was force himself on her and command her but he didn’t.

Rather he waited patiently for her, trying to change to become a betyer person. One that both herself and his citizens would be proud of.

As for that she was sure his love was true and though to many it was a shocker that such a killer had such a side to him but to her, she could tell he was hopelessly in love, something he never dreamed could happen, did happen and he became this way.

So no matter what others thoughts, she knew what she felt. Her only problem was the fact that he took all she had and even made innocent to suffer and die both old and small just because of his inability to see beyond the surface and to trust someone blindly.

That was going to be his punishment for riding her of her love. She was not going to give it back to him.

“Your majesty, that is why it stands out as a suspicious act when his majesty shows love towards you. Who knows this might just be a plan to take you down after figuring out if you and anything to do with the treason and conspiracy before your parent’s death.”

“I know it may sound that way or seem that way to you, Lord Damian but believe me, you, Vidoris not faking it. Caspian may be searching out ways to eliminate me but not Vidor. Else he would not have hesitated to have me when I refused.”

“Okay. Let us say you are right especially since he ran off into he bate without thinking to save you. That would explain his rash decisions during the battle and his frenzied state when I met him. He was searching for you.”

“Sadly, yes.”

“Sadly? This could work in our favour to get rid of Caspian. That snake has been one of Vidor’s nemesis hiding under the guise of a loyal servant.”

“That is true but meaning I would have to use him.”

“Yes. To get what you want.”

“Then I would not be any different from Caspain.” She lowered her gaze, thinking of the situation properly.

“Okay, so now you do not want to do rhat? ”

“Two wrongs cannot make a right. I am getting close to gain his trust, get needed to access to what I need and have him trust me, then bring down all those involved in their deaths and decisions.”

“And that includes Vidor.”

“Let us see how it goes. By the way, I asked you a question that I still await my answer for.”

Inhaling deeply, he knew it was hard for her. Perhaps she too was falling for the king but was not being true to herself. “And that is?” He obliged her changing the main topic.

“What is the reason why Vidor hates the feminine gender?”
