CHAPTER 57
"Caspian."
"Yes, Your Grace?"
Vidor was about saying something, then he paused. After another minute of silence, he finally spoke. "Fine. Let's go in."
"After you, Your Grace," Caspian said with a bow. And even though Vidor did not look at him, he knew the King must be paid respect to.
Without uttering a word to him, he turned around and made his way back to his party. Not up to a minute when they got back in, the guard rushed up to them and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty," he said between pants.
Both Vidor and Caspian were shocked by the manner of approach but before they could fathom what was going on, the boy raised his head and looked at him with panic-stricken eyes. "The Queen has fallen."
"What?"
"Your grace, she… she…"
"She what?"
"Your majesty, the queen tried to commit suicide."
GBAGHAN!
For a minute there, Vidor forgot everything else and looked dumbfounded. He could not believe what he just hard but who was he kidding. He heard rightly. His wife tried to kill herself.
"Your Majesty," the guard called again when he noticed the way and manner in which the king looked. "Your Grace."
"Yes?" He still looked pale from the news but somehow he managed to compose himself and speak well. "Umm, where is she?"
"In her chambers as we speak, your majesty."
"Quickly, send for the physician. I cannot allow her to die."
"Your majes…" he had not yet finished what he was about to say when Caspian raised his hand in front of the guard to silence him.
"Your majesty, I do not know why you are agitated," he began.
"Excuse me?"
"I know it seems somehow but there is no need to feel this way. If she wants to go and join her treacherous family, then by all means allow her. Our kingdom does not need such a queen. She is weak and cunny."
"Lord Caspian! How can you say that?"
"Shut your mouth. Who gave you the audacity to speak before his majesty?!"
"I am sorry, my Lord but it is the queen we are talking about."
"And have you forgotten what she did? Her family plotted against the king. Which do you think is more important? Her life or his?"
"My apologies, Your Grace, I never meant to be rude."
"Forget it. You are both right."
"Your Grace," Caspian called out. He was about persuading him against it when Vidor did the exact same thing to him that he did to the guard.
"I would not hear it. She deserves to die no doubt but I let her live for a reason. Killing her would be much too generous on my part which was why I let her live so she could live with such guilt and pain of her family and kingdom gone."
"Oh, your majesty is so clever. Now I understand. What better punishment than to allow her to see the heads and corpses of her family hanging on the gate for all to see as an example of the might and vigour of your majesty. It would ruin her and what is more, is the fact that she cannot die to take away the shame but would live through the snares of everyone. Perfect."
"Now you know why I cannot let her take her life. Send for the physician."
"About that your grace."
"Yes, what is the delay for?"
"Lord Damian has already sent for the royal physician."
"Lord Damian?"
"Damian?"
****
Thinking that something must have indeed been wrong, Damian was determined to go get the king and make him see what his annoying thirst for power and rulership had caused when he heard a familiar voice.
"Make way for his majesty."
"Finally." No sooner had he said that, than Vidor to the next bend and appeared before him.
"Your majesty," Damian greeted with a deep bow.
Vidor neither responded nor made any gesture towards him. All he did was to eye him from the head down and then back up before moving past him.
Quickly the doors to her room paved open for him to enter while the others stayed outside.
The second he entered, the physician stopped what he was doing and paid his respects. "Greetings, your majesty."
"Hmm. How is she?" Vidor inquired.
"She is weak as she lost a lot of blood but, she would make it."
"Thanks. Make sure she survives. Revive her at all cost."
"Yes, Your majesty. I would definitely do my best."
He nodded at the physician and then tilted his head a bit to the side, his eyes directed at the door. "She cannot die like that. She must serve her punishment."

"Any problem?"
"No sire, I will do as you have commanded."
***
Just about the same time, Vidor got inside, Damian raised his head only for him to come face to face with the enemy he never wanted to see.
"If it isn't the stubborn Duke," Caspian voiced out nonchalantly.
"And if it isn't the most annoying Lord there ever was."
'I may be annoying but I remain the King's Regent."
"A terrible mistake he made."
'The best choice actually. With me, I could ensure he brought down Kingdoms like yours."
"Hmm, at least I own and rule a nation," Damian boasted still. Even though he was now under Etheria, he never showed any form of likeness for the kingdom.
Everyone knew of his hatred and they knew he couldn't do anything more because his love for his daughters and people came first before his pride.
"And I, Caspian rule all other kingdoms under Etheria."
"So you now call yourself King? I wonder what Vidor would think of this."
"It is my word against yours. Who do you think he would believe?" With a victorious smirk on his face, he raised his chin, proudly and made his way to the door to eavesdrop on what was going on.
And the second he heard the king say she must survive, his eyes widened in shock. "What?" He voiced out a bit loudly.
"She cannot die like that. She must serve her punishment."
Hearing Vidor's thought, a proud smile reappeared on his face.. 'Yes.'
