The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 744

Erik was sure none of us would escape the side effects.

Speaking of the devil, Erik walked in while I was thinking of the arrangements of the place. He looked calm as if he expected it. He walked towards me and bowed.

"Your majesty," he said, and I nodded, controlling my anger.

"Sorry about the discomfort. It will soon subside," he managed, and I did not bother to answer him because I felt drowsy. I laid back on the bed with heavy eyes welcoming the sleep upon me. Gradually I drifted to sleep.

I woke up in the infirmary. I was drowsy because of the drugs' effects, but the itching and burning sensation on my back was gone. I looked around and noticed David and Leo's beds were empty. Marcel, Vino, and Theodore were still sleeping. Erik came towards me, smiling.

He placed his hand on my shoulder to examine me.

"All gone, Your Majesty. It took about four hours, but you are okay," He said, amused, and I looked at the wall clock. It was a little past twelve noon.

"Leo and David?" I asked.

"Left an hour ago," He said, and they brought me a shirt to wear.

"The Queen brought you clothes when she checked on you twice," he said, handing me the shirt and shorts. I was grateful for Tamia's kindness.

I got off the bed wearing the shirt. Leaving the shorts I had on and headed out.

I felt Erik following me, and I knew he had something to discuss with me.

"I have started the production, your majesty," He said, and I cringed at the sound of what he said. The discomfort of the rash was still fresh in my mind. Knowing I would have to go through it again annoyed me, but it wasn't his fault. We were lucky he even had something like that.

"That is great news," I said, not sounding enthusiastic about it but acknowledging the necessity of it.

"I also want to find out if you have decided whether we will join you or not," He said, and I stopped walking to speak to him.

"I am yet to discuss it with Tamia. Once I do, I will get back to you on the matter. Be assured you will receive feedback today," I said, and he nodded, a bit sad.

"What is the matter, Erik?" I asked him, knowing he might decide not to tell me what was bothering him.

My tone didn't really seem friendly, either. The rash disrupted my day, and it took a bit for me to fall into the rhythm.

"I have received a few calls from my clan members, mostly from people in hiding. They called to congratulate me. I was hoping this would be a good time to gather them so they can help us. I learned Bryce is already gathering your army," he said, and I nodded.

"You will get my response today, Erik. I really appreciate all you have done so far. I want this thing over with, and I am avoiding surprises. It will not be productive if Yuri knows we are on to him. You have to understand my reasons. I will speak to Tamia and get back to you. In the meantime, you can send for Sean Garett to use as your test subject," I said, and he nodded and smiled.

I moved away from him and headed towards my wing.

Getting there, I went to my room. Tamia was in the room. She seemed a bit sad, but I knew why, and I hoped this thing would be over soon, so we could have our family complete again.

"You are up," She said, sounding happy, and I nodded, taking off my shirt. I turned around so she would see my back.

"It is gone," she said, and I smiled.

"Amelia's mother is here," She said.

I had forgotten entirely about the mad woman at the gate demanding to see Amelia.

"Is she sane?" I asked Tamia, and she laughed and got off the couch.

"It was a disguise. According to Alexei, Yuri has been hunting her," She said, and I did not want to imagine the kind of life she would have had. Tamia and I weren't faring well because the twins were away from us. I wondered how she would have felt not knowing where her daughter was. There was no doubt she hated Yuri.

"Well, I am glad mother and daughter are united," I said, and Tamia had a sad smile on her face.

"Amelia does not seem enthusiastic about it. She is indifferent. I went to check in with them in the lounge and found Alexei and Clay talking and laughing with the woman. Amelia just stared. It was almost as if she did not know where to come in. She doesn't know her," Tamia said with tears in her eyes, and I knew the tears were not meant for Amelia but us.

I pulled her into my arm and held her to my chest.

"It won't happen to us, Green-eyes. We won't be away from Harper and Liam. There will be no need for us to live away from our children. We will be active in their lives. I promise," I said, and she wrapped her arms around me.
