Queen Era: The Monster I Love - Chapter 183

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

CHAPTER 183

“Sigh, if only Vidor was this easy with girls, we would have gotten him dead by now. Too bad he is into men.”

“About that My Lord. I doubt. He has his queen and they shared a public moment, the second he returned from the battle.”

“YOU SAID WHAT?!”

“It is the truth I speak. I was told that the public display of affection both the king and queen of Etheria had was one of the best and the people were happy because now they knew their king was not into men.”

“You do not mean it. This is the kind of news you should tell me about firsthand not hide it from me,” Yonder cautioned him.

“Yes sir. Next time I would know the priorities well enough.”

“Good. That is better. Now you can go back. I would send for you if I require yir service and even if the king send for you and ask about him, tell him I am recuperating.”

“Got it, sir. I would leave now.” He lowered his head, then moved back three steps backward, turned around and excited the chambers.

Once Yonder was alone again, a creepy smile crept up his cheeks as different thoughts circulated his mind concerning what he just heard.

“Hehheem Vidir, it looks like you have a weakness like ever other man. I would watch and see if this is not another make believe you won’t all of us to think it is. Just you wait. Once I can confirm all theories, I would make my visit to you again.”

Right after Damian finished with Era, he made his way to Vidor’s chambers. Another thing the monster king hated was to be left waiting.

Upon getting there, his Eunuch announced his arrival and he was let in.

To his surprise, he met Louis the physician there, tending to the Vidor’s injuries form the battle.

“Your majesty, it is Damaina.”

“Come on in,” he ordered quietly.

“Yes, your majesty.” He obeyed, taking closer steps into the chambers and heading for the entrance to the bed-chamber where Vidor sat at, facing the window of his chamber.

He did not speak further and waited for Louis to finish with his treatment. Once he was done, he lowered his head before Vidor and informed him.

“Your majesty, I have finished dressing your wound. I would advise, no training for the next three days to enable the wound completely heal,” Louis advised.

“Hmm, you know it heals quickly, why are you restraining my movement for these three days, Louis?”

“I am not restraining your movement. I just believe you can…” he let out a sighm his shoulders dropping as he spoke before lowering his mouth close to Vidor’s ear.

“I saw what happened between you and her majesty yesterday after the battle. Even if you are healing faster, I suggest you rest, use this injury to get her to see you more often than before and also spend quality time with her. Do not forget you still have a date with her you failed to get before.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Yes. So think of this injury as a blessing and make good use of the opportunity. You two are making great progress.”

“No, I won’t call that progress. If only you knew how she got mad at me again yesterday,” Vidor whispered back.

“I understand what you mean, your majesty but there is room for improvement. You can keep on trying.”

“Fine. I would take your advise. Pray it works or I would be coming for you,” Vidor threatened.

GULP!

“So long as his majesty does not blow this up like last time, I believe you have a nice shot at this.”

“So what’re you calling me, huh, Louis?”

Smiling at Vidor innocently, Louis displayed both hands in front of him, waving and shaking his head, “nothing, your majesty, believe me. Imam only concerned about your health.”

“Fine. Now wipe that weird look off your face. You may leave, I need to discuss with Damian,” he voiced out loud enough for Damian to hear.

“Sure your majesty.”

Packing up, Louis took his properties and headed out of the chambers, bowing to Damian as he left.

Wearing his shirt, Vidr stood up from his chair as made his way over to where Damian stood. “Hello friend.”

‘Friend? Now where is this king going with this?’ Damian thought within himself.

“Thank you for taking charge of thing with Era when I was bone and rushing over to my aid when I was in trouble.”

It was nothing, your majesty. As soon as the queen informed me, we came up with an idea, on how to save you while still protecting her.”

“And how did his protect her? Thought she had the Alpha armies controlled by Caspian?”

“She did but she would easily be suspected, that was why she had wished to follow me to the battle to protect you than remain in the palace.”

“Ah, about that. Why did you not tell me that my wife was been good stubborn to stay put and wanted to ride into battle with you?”

“I am sorry, your majesty. I did not think it mattered since I ensured she stayed and I went. I did not won’t to disturb you.”

“I see. But my heart was disturbed. I was worried sick because of her. In the future, please no matter how she please of order you, you are not allowed to allow her make such decisions.”

“She understands quite well, your majesty. I explain dit to her and finally she waited behind. I told her since she was scared, I would send in my armies. One set marching towards Meth and the other to up the palace to protect her in case another conspiracy was to emerge an they wanted to take over the palace.”

“I see. That as the only condition with which she agreed to calm down and not go. Still, I heard she wasn’t at ease all through.”

“I bet I made her worry much, hmm.”

“Also, if I may your majesty,” Damian requested.

With a nod of his head, Vidor responded. “You may.”

“Thank you. I would advice that next time, you think through every strategy before you head out into battle. Had she not found that piece of paper, you would have been in big trouble and then what next for your queen? What would happen to Etheria if you fall and we all fall into enemy hands? I think you should always have this at the back of hour kind. It would guide you.”

He pondered on Damian’s words for a while, looking gloomy all of a sudden before before admitting that he was wrong.

“I know. I know Etheria’s fate lies in myd ha and every decisions. I am sorry about that. And even though it was hard for you, you still stuck your neck out at my queen’s request to save me. The k you but at that no won’t she I found out she was out… I lost it and went to battle.”

“So you mean to tell me that the king of Etheria ran into battle without thinking clearly just because of a woman?”

“Why are you so surprised? Didn’t you surrender to me because of the same gender?”

Damian’s eyes became dark instantly, recalling all the bad things that had happened. “They are different.”

“Not so much. She is my wife and they are your daughters.”

“Ones I need and brought to this world. Hers, you do not even love her. You have only know for barely half a hear. They are my life!” Damian snapped.

Seeing him act that way, Vidor’s lowered his gaze and closed his eyes. “I am sorry. Sorry I did that and said that but I assure you, they are well taken care of. I just have them to ensure you won’t join my enemies.”

“What a king. I can choose to join your enemies now because of them.”

“You may but you still do not know where they are. Only I, Vidor knows.”

Damian gritted his teeth but did not say anything. “My promise remains. You would see them one day. When I am sure where your loyalty is.”

“Whatever. One question though.”

“Ask away.” he gave him a plain cheque while moving to sit down.

“Era.” Damian looked up at Vidor, then came to stand in front of him. “Do you love her?”

“Queen Era. She is my wife.”

“Do you love her?” Damian asked again, ignoring Vidor’s squirms.

Seeing how persistent Damian was and he was not going to back down, Vidor let out a sigh. “Between you and I and her, I do.” she paused, making sure Damiann heard him well. “Why do you ask?”

“You kissed her passionately outside. I wanted to make sure.”

“Why?”

“I saved her life. I would hate to see you waste it again,” Damian hissed.

“I won’t.” His face turned serious instantly. “I love her.”

Damian’s face turned serious as well. “Then, do not hurt her ever again.”

“I wouldn’t dream of it.”

“Good. Good luck winning her heart back.”

“Thanks.”
