Chapter 125: 125: Meeting Queen Elizabeth


Lysander paused. His eyes on the Royal Adviser.


He wasn’t sure if he was hearing things or he has actually heard the Royal adviser right "You...."


The Royal adviser smiled as he added "I’m only doing my job by bringing the best advice I can to your Highness. And right now, that’s all I can say"


"Don’t feel terrible about liking someone. Your feelings are valid too" He expressed.


"But it’s my friend..." Lysander found himself muttering.


"Then your friends feelings are valid too.." The Royal adviser said. "So tell your friend that if he likes someone, he should let them know before it’s too late"


Lysander sat there without saying anything more. He had his mind going through the Royal advisor’s words.


He never expected that from the Royal adviser. A rather supportive feedback from him.


He thought he was going to strictly advise him against it. And have him seal off any portion of feelings he might have developed for a man.


But he did the opposite. And was encouraging it..?


"If there’s nothing left to say, I guess I’ll be taking my leave" He said.


Lysander stared at him as he nodded "You can go"


"And don’t worry" The Royal adviser added "Whatever is discussed between us, Is strictly confidential" He assured.


He was soon gone. And Lysander was left sitting there thinking through his words.


He had come to terms with himself and figured that what he was feeling was exactly what he was afraid of. Feelings of love.


He liked Eden. He liked a fellow guy.


And now with the Royal Adviser’s words, he felt the urge to go ahead with his feelings.


He felt valid with his feelings and had decided that maybe he should actually let Eden know.


********


Eden got ready the next day. He was going to meet Queen Elizabeth.


He had already planned himself out and ironed out what he was going to talk to her about. Everything was set as he made his way to the garden.


Eden had some maids set up a table and two seats at the garden. Sitting on a seat and enjoying the view of the scenery.


He sent a message through a maid to request an audience with Queen Elizabeth. The message was simple.


"Your son has been poisoned by me. And if you want him to live, meet me at the garden"


The maid had sent the message to Queen Elizabeth. And Eden sat there waiting.


He wondered if Queen Elizabeth still cared for her son. And if she would actually come or not?


Eden guessed he’d have to find out.


And he soon did.


Queen Elizabeth soon arrived at the garden in the company of her lady-in-waiting and some maids.


She stood there staring at Eden who was gently sipping a cup of tea down his mouth.


Eden smiled as he saw her.


"You came. That’s interesting. It proves that you actually do care about your son after all"


Queen Elizabeth stood there, staring at him. She didn’t say anything but slowly turned to leave.


"Do you think I was joking about what I said?" Eden question, playing with the tea cup in his hands.


Queen Elizabeth paused and turned to him "And how may I be of help to you?"


"I’d like to have a conversation with You, Your Majesty. I hope you’ll grant me the honor of doing so" He said.


Queen Elizabeth hesitated. She didn’t seem like she wanted to.


But Eden added "And don’t worry. It concerns the health of your son. So I figured you’d be interested"


Queen Elizabeth hesitated some more. But ended up taking a seat. She sent her maid and lady-in-waiting far off at a distance.


They stood there, watching them speak.


"Considering how you didn’t have any guards closely around us.. it seems you’re not scared of me too. The wizard of EL" Eden said.


Queen Elizabeth stared at him "I don’t have much time at all. So I hope you can get straight to the point"


Eden smiled softly "You don’t have to rush. There’s still time. So don’t worry.."


He said as he took the tea cup on the table "But since you’re impatient, I guess I’ll get straight to the point"


"I recently learnt about the Levrick Kingdom. And I’m intrigued" Eden dropped.


Queen Elizabeth’s face went pale by the name as she glared at Eden.


She stared at Eden, confused and shocked as though she had seen something she didn’t expect to see or heard something forbidden. "What...?"


Eden smiled "You’re so knowledgeable in most areas as I’ve heard. So I came specifically to you to help enlighten me on this kingdom. Levrick"


Queen Elizabeth’s face grew pale in shock as she looked around.


She seemed scared for awhile but covered up with a nonchalant and stern expression.


Eden could read through her face.


"Why are you asking me about such a name? How do you expect me to know about it?" She questioned.


Eden raised an eyebrow "You don’t know about The Levrick Kingdom?"


"How am I supposed to know about it. I’m just a Queen living indoors with domestic handlings. How am I supposed to know such political stuff like that" She expressed.


Eden Smiled "I never mentioned that it was political. You’re already quick to note that which proves that you have an idea I suppose.."


The Queen was quiet for a while as Eden added "And how is it possible that you don’t know..? I mean... You three were close or so. You.. The Rulers of the Levrick kingdom and the rulers of the Grand duchy of Enor..."


Eden let his words sink while staring at her expression "... So how can you not know anything about your friends...?"


She held herself.


Queen Elizabeth struggled to keep calm as she said "How am I supposed to know about that? I don’t think any of those have anything to do with me. If you’re that curious about such issues, maybe you should meet the King himself"


Their eyes locked.
