Chapter 172: Cannot Sleep With You
***************
Chapter 171
"You are too beautiful to look away from. I would rather appreciate your beauty than look elsewhere."
There he went, with his sweet words. Who would have thought or believed it that the tyrannical king of Etheria, the most feared monster could sweet-talk a woman?
Before Vidor got the chance to sweet talk Era some more, the Queen looked at him, sending him a warning glare not to try anything stupid but rather than take her serious, he smiled lovingly at her, his perfect facial features becoming more visible as he leaned forward towards her.
Sensing danger in her mind, she instinctively leaned back a fraction, to retain the space that was between them. Fortunately for her, Vidor was not going for her face or lips had she had imagined, rather he reached out with his free hand and picked up some fallen strands of her hair, brushing them behind her ear before trailing it down its length, enjoying how silky they felt, yet soft and comforting.
"You have beautiful hair," he compliments. "Although I wonder for how long you plan on sitting that way? You would only end up straining your back muscles and I would be accused by your Lady royal for stressing out my queen."
"Ahem... Well." she pushed back up, ignoring the closeness between their faces as her gaze remained glued to his hand. "Aeverie wouldn’t blame you, be rest assured. "
He nodded at her, his hands still playing with her hair, allowing the feeling last longer.
"Though, I on the other hand, I cannot say I wouldn’t blame you."
"I did nothing wrong," Vidor fought back.
"You have been staring and staring is wrong, your majesty."
