Chapter 14: Vidor’s Dream
*************
Chapter 14
"You see, in time past, king Vidor’s father wasn’t always like that. He was a nice man but something got into him and he decided there was a need for expansion and because of that he ruined one-minute kingdom close by and took over their land."
"Seriously?"
"Yes. Sad but even the queen was sadder because they were humans after all and her husband mercilessly killed them. Unfortunately for her and fortunately for the king, she was pregnant that time, so she could not fight with him on the issue for too long due to her health."
"Wow."
"Yes, wow. As fate would have it, she wasn’t even given much time in her plans to tame her husband and his desire for conquest. In the end, she died while giving birth to the king and made me promise to serve a queen like her, a queen who would share in her ideas for the world to be free-living and not subjected to the control of one man. Too much power she says can corrupt even the purest of hearts."
"I see. So a tragedy brought an end to goodwill?"
"Yes. I believe if the queen was still alive, neither the previous king nor the current one would have succeeded in their conquest," Aeverie explained.
"So she needs you to serve a good queen in hopes that the queen would be the one to put an end to this mad conquest." Era stated rather than asked.
