CHAPTER 76

Noticing the smiles on the royal physician's face, Vidor became sceptical and withdrew. "Why are you laughing? Does this sound like a joke to you? Or you do not believe me and think I am mad?" He waited for a reply but all he got was smiles. "Is this funny?"

"No, your majesty. On the contrary, though. It is a different matter," he quickly tried persuading him to see reasons from a lighter side of things.

"Then speak. I can take it, no matter what."

"Are you sure, your majesty?" The physician asked, arching a brow at him.

"Yes. Definitely!" His enthusiasm was funny but also commendable. If only he knew that they were going to be for the wrong thing to him, so he would think later on though… he would not have been this glad and anxious.

"Good then. Prepare yourself. Brace up for what I am about to say."

"Just spill already."

Looking at Vidor, a small smile broke out on his lips and even his eyes, wrinkles were formed around them. No longer did he feel scared but rather he bloomed with enough radiating joy.

This was the best time so far since he had been attending to the king. He could not be happier than anyone now.

Ever since knowing the king as a child, he did fear with his growing up and thirst for power that he would not be able to continue his legacy but now…

"Sire, you are in love."

GHAGHANNN!!

"Excuse me, what?!"

"You heard me quite well, your grace. You are in love." He did not bother hiding his joy. It was actually a thing of joy and one what celebrating.

This further proved to everyone that their king was still a human being, not gay as some would think and…

"Are you mad?" Vidor's voice pulled him out of his happy thoughts.

"Huh? Sire?"

"Yes. Are you mad? What kind of illogical explanation is that? Was that what I asked you for?"

"I am confused."

"Exactly. That is why you would give me such an illogical explanation to my problems."

In fact, the physician was taken aback. This was just too much to bear. Here he was jubilating in his mind and being happy about the new discovery but his king is thinking he is lying.

"But sire, I speak the truth."

"What truth?" Vidor asked raising his right hand into the air nonchalantly. "How can you call such pain and torment being in love? Who am I in love with? A ghost? Can you not hear that I said she is tormenting me, even in any little joy I derive from thinking about the queen."

"My point exactly. You just said so yourself… Okay, wait, sire."

"Why? You are saying nonsense. In fact, guards…"

"Wait. Sire, please. Do not call the guards. This is important."

"It is and you are clearly taking it for a joke."

"No." The royal physician was already beginning to have a headache just from thinking so much about it. How can the king be so dense in this part of life?

Well, one couldn't really blame him though. Situations made it so. It wasn't like he had ever had any form of love interest all his life. 

As I said, some people actually thought him a homosexual due to the fact that he hated the opposite sex so much and did not want anything to do with them.

But this… hearing him speak of his feelings, all this was an indication that there was hope and Era wasn't going to die a virgin."

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't ask the guards to take you and lock you up to rot so you do not give anyone any wrong counsel?"

"Because I have served you faithfully these past years. I didn't give a wrong counsel then, would I now?"

"Who knows? Lately, it seems like all those around me are just hysterical, confused or irrational like you." He pointed at him, building on his point. He could not take it again and stood up, pacing in the room.

"No. Sire you get me all wrong."

At that moment they heard a small knock on the door and the voice of one of the guards followed next.

"Your majesty, you called?"

The royal physician looked at Vidor pleadingly. He did not want to go to jail and rot, especially not after this discovery. A simple hope that the queen wouldn't die a virgin and without an heir.

No. He needed to survive and help the king build on this newfound feels so he could probably be a better person.

"No. I just said something. You may leave."

"Yes, sire."

"Phew!" He blew out air from his mouth. This was just… "Thank you so much, your grace."

"Do not thank me yet. You are not free until I say so. Utter one wrong word and I would personally drag you out and lock you up myself. Now shoot, you have one last chance at this."

The royal physician on the other hand was already shaken and taken aback. He knew he needed to be quick and give this his best and all. 

It was even one major reason, what the king said, that he needed as a motivation to build on this feelings and not let that rat Caspian kill it so the king would have a change of heart.

'Love, what can't you do?'

"Yes, sire. You misquoted me just now."

"Okay, go on."

"Yes, what I meant to say was that you were in love." Hearing this, Vidor was about to go nuts on him but he lifted his hands in front of him quickly to stop me. "Calm down."

"You are asking me to be…"

"Sire I never meant you were in love with a ghost. What I meant was that you were in love with no other person than you queen, Era," the royal physician said in a hurry to save his life.

"I would…" Vidor paused.. The words finally sank into his mind. "What?"
