CHAPTER 95

Luckily for him, it was more of herbal tea with a little thickener in it. So for the most part it was light and easy to swallow.

KPA!

He hit the bowl down on the tray atop the small stool it was placed on before.

"Next time, think of a better thing to use to threaten me," he advised, leaving Louis speechless.

"I…I-I… I never meant to threaten your grace, forgive me. On the contrary, I want to be sure you are okay and nothing more. If you do not tell me, I cannot diagnose the problem nor profer solutions."

"I know the diagnosis you would give and I know your solution."

"How so, your grace?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"No."

"You would tell me that I am in love and I should be closer to her. I tried before and I got pushed away. I would not do so again."

"But your grace. It depends on the symptoms and…"

"Fine, since you are adamant, I would tell you," Vidor finally agreed.

"Thank you, your grace."

"I, well we were talking about where she was in a hurry, then she brought about her pain and all and I started comparing how she looked presently with back then when she… you know."

"Yes, I understand your grace."

"In that minute I saw the exquisite difference and I longed to just hold her."

"Pardon. Come again, your grace. I didn't quite get you. I need to hear you well."

He sighed. His physician was becoming naughty. "I longed to just hold her and kiss her."

"Stop gawking and be serious," Vidor scolded.

"No, I am serious. You mean… Your majesty, that is…" Louis paused. How could he have a king who was so daft in this matter?

"You are beginning to accept your feelings for her majesty."

"I… there are no feelings, Louis. You are overthinking."

"Did you just lose feelings within these three months, your grace?"

"No. I–I... I want her even more. I want to really hold her in my arms and I do not know if I can ever dare such with all that has happened. So I got flushed thinking about her and well she wasn't helping with her outfit. It was both domineering and seductive in a good way."

He threw his head back. "Since when have I noticed a lady's dressing and how seductive they looked?" Vidor lamented to himself.

"That is to prove to you that you are having feelings for her. You miss her and you want her."

"What is there to miss when I have not as much as held my wife before," he confessed.

"You said?" Louis did not know when he almost yelled at the king. But what was he really expecting, given how cold Vidor was and how he hated the female gender.

"I have never held her, touched her or even hugged her. So there is nothing to miss. Funny enough, on our wedding night she called me a monster and was scared of me."

He took in a deep breath and smiled bitterly at himself. 'And I actually proved to be such to her by taking everyone and thing she held dear away from her. I really am the monster king."

At that moment, Louis felt pity for Vidor but there were no words he could say to comfort him especially the ones he wanted to hear considering he was the one who brought this on himself and given Era's hurt and all, his love for her, may just be useless.

"Your majesty, I cannot say it is going to be okay. In fact, it may be worse than you think but trust me well enough to know that, nothing good comes easy and if you truly love her, that love can melt her cold heart just like how she melted yours."

"I do not have a cold heart," he corrected.

"You did your grace. You felt nothing for her and for anybody. It was… I must say it is a miracle that you actually feel something now. So hold onto it and do not give up easily I tell you."

"Fine. I am not giving up but I need to know how I am going to go about this issue of not being able to be with her even though I ache to hold her. Or do I come up to her upfront and declare that I love her?"

"Hell no!"

Vidor did not say anything, but the look of 'Are you okay?' that he gave him made Louis compose himself and behave.

"Why?" He asked after some silence had passed. "If you do not like her tell me, I can just think of some other girl to love."

"It doesn't just work like that, I tell you. One cannot tell the heart whom to love, it just happens."

"Honestly, she is the only one I do not have a sense of disgust against. Every other girl, I just hate them so much. So I understand what you mean but why her?"

"If not her then who else? The Lady Diona?"

"No." his face quickly changed, giving Louis the fright. "Do not mention her name to me ever again."

"Exactly my point, your majesty. There isn't anyone else and I am glad that there isn't. She is not just your queen but your wife, your grace. So it should be her."

"Okay, what do you advice that I do?"

"For now, take it slow. Try to win her heart bit by bit. There is no lady that doesn't like it when someone treats her well and shows affection but be sure not to make it much. Just seek her friendship for starters."

"Fine and now it leaves us with the question of how?"

"You can't make…" he was about to ask if he could not make friends when he recalled how his life had always been and kicked against it.

"You can start by checking up on her once or twice daily."

"She hates me."

"Send someone then, send her flowers, pieces of jewellery, clothes."

"Noted."

"Then ask her out to take a stroll with you.. Just do anything to get her to spend more time with you."
