Sun.. has always made me wonder why is it so selfless... Giving light of life to all but asking for none in return. The moon, the stars... Everything in the world is selfless... Not like me... I might be the most selfish person alive on this earth. My only weakness is the people of the kingdom.

Wondering who???

Princess Aadya... The daughter of the king and queen of the kingdom of Rajgarh, a small kingdom in India. Well now late. They died.

I have a sibling, an elder one. My brother, Aniket. He loves me true. But his love for the throne suppresses his love for me. He could kill me in an instant to get to the throne.

Result of his obsession I am right now sitting in this state. Wearing a red bridal attire, heavy jewelry, and a long veil, and my palms were decorated with Henna. It was not my wish. I wasn't even asked. Just informed.

Yes, I am getting married to this ruthless and cunning but truly, devilishly handsome Prince of Magadha, the most powerful kingdom in the country.

My brother, right away practically sold me to this prince. And he not even bothered to see who he was marrying, agreed.

I have heard a lot about him. He is known all over the place for his devilish behavior. People call him the most merciless prince. He is known for killing his enemy with zero mercy. But still, I don't know my husband's name. INTERESTING!!!

3 months ago, he attacked our kingdom,/* and my brother, he like a coward hiding in the palace. I demanded to be allowed to fight and let me protect my kingdom, but they stopped me saying "You, my dear.. are a GIRL... Stay in the palace."

I don't care what all had to say about me. Not even my mother. But my father mattered a lot to me. They didn't let me. I didn't protest anymore knowing very well all I attempt to be futile.

We lost. He killed my father and my mother died of trauma. My brother negotiated on terms that he would marry me off to the prince and in return want to be crowned the king.

The throne rightfully should have belonged to me. I was the one who fought with the prince and had him surrender. Yes, I dueled with him. After I came to know I was betrothed without my permission. I stormed off to the arena and picked up my sword.

I am known as the best swordsman, well woman actually, for nobody could defeat me. I am flexible and agile which contributed to my this achievement.

I saw the only man in the arena and fought. I defeated him, but it was a tough match. Later I came to know he was the prince I was to be married off to.

I came back from my thoughts when the priest asked the prince to fill my hairline with pious vermillion. Now I would be bound with him for 7 births. In our culture, the 7 vows, bind the couple for 7 births. And I consider it the most pious thing.

He filled my hairline and a pinch of vermillion fell on my nose. It generally meant that the bride would be dearly loved by her husband. But I of all people very well knew the truth of this world. Here, the king can marry as many times as he desires and I know he too would if he wants to.

I would be used and throw for him.

But what he is unaware of is that I am not someone who could be crushed under the feet and thrown away. I am dearly dangerous. And I can do whatever I want for my happiness.

    After the rituals were over, I was asked if I wanted to spend some last time with my brother. The prince was weirdly being kind to me or maybe he was pretending to seem like he is going to take care of me. I said no for now I don't consider him my brother anymore. He sold me off to this man and now expects to play a good brother role. No dear. You don't get that pleasure. I presented my wish to go to my parents' memorial and my room for the last time. For I don't know after how much while I will return. He obliged. We together went to my room and I packed whatever I needed to take with me, well that included my sword, a few books, and a painting that I had asked my father to be painted, of all of us. And the most memorial, my grandmother's last-priced possession to me, the pendant. It was a small pendant with a blue stone, surrounded by intricate golden designs and beautiful vines coiling from its base up to where it met the chain. I always wanted to wear it but she always told me to

    After dinner, we both rested on the bed, occupying either side of the bed. I took all the rest I could. After all, I would be the most tired of us two because I would need to travel in a palanquin. Although all the while I could hear some mumbling while I slept. The next morning I woke up to a beautiful sunrise and a heavy boulder. Wait. A boulder?? Last time I checked I was sleeping on the bed. I looked to my left to see my oh-so-dear husband had his heavy arms around my waist and his legs were tangled in mine. He was practically sleeping on me. I looked at his face keenly and he is handsome. If he hadn't forced me into this marriage and would have asked me to marry him I would have loved to observe him. Not like I am not right now. He has a chiseled face with a little dusky shade. His lips are like those kissable lips, full and plump with a light pink shade. Ahh!! I am not having nice thoughts. His nose was pointed like a high peak. He had high cheekbones, with a jawline as sharp a

    After a long journey of 4 days, we reached Magadha, his kingdom or 'OUR' kingdom as he states. We entered the boundaries of Magadha and the people of the kingdom came out of their houses to greet us. I was totally overwhelmed by this love. People call me selfish. But I can happily be called a selfish person if I could get this love of my people. The royalties are to serve these not to exploit them and I would make sure that at least this place can have a great ruler, even if it meant making my husband go through a hell of a lot of changes. "Stop!!" I demanded him to stop the horse and he did. I climbed down and he interjected, "but the palace is still-" to which I cut him off, "I would walk till the palace. These people have come to meet their crown Princess and they deserve the respect. I want to meet them." I said going soft at the end and looking in his eyes. "So be it." And he too jumped down from the horse. We started to walk to the palace. All the while he held my hand in his,

    The day we rested and next was again occupied with all the rituals. I avoided bumping into Aditya at all costs. Yes, I came to know yesterday from one of the scrolls in the room that his name is Vikramaditya. And I decided to call him Aditya. In my defence, I just thought it was good to give him a name for calling him prince seemed too weird to me. He was being the total opposite of what he is said to be. This means only two things- either he is pretending to be a caring and loving husband or what I heard about him is not at all true. Anyways, right now I was getting ready when maa entered our chamber and said, "Aadya.. beta (child) a priest is arriving to give the date of garbhdhana sanskaar. After that, we'll arrange for your and Vikram's wedding night. Get ready and come to the hall room." I nodded and she left. I have to do something to avoid it for a while at least. I called my most trusted maid to our chamber. "Hail the crown Princess... What are the orders for me my lady to

    As soon as we entered the chamber, he cornered me against the wall and held my wrist in his, which was surely going to leave marks, and said in an utterly scary threatening tone. "What were you even thinking when you went to meet the royal priest???!!! Do you have any idea what did you do??? Why did you deliberately postpone the date of Garbhdhana sanskaar??? Moreover, why did you say anything regarding dosha when it clearly doesn't exist??!! Do you even know what could have happened if maa and baba were not this understanding they would-" "Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!!! I know that if they were not this understanding they would have demanded you to leave me and what is wrong with it?? This loveless forced marriage, what are you trying to extract out of it??!!!!" I yelled at him jerking him backwards. "What do you mean trying to extract??? Weren't you explained why the war took place in the first place??" he asked making me confused about the situation. My mind was now haywire and asked the

    "Maa, you called me?? What happened?? Chanda said you were asking for my immediate presence." I asked entering her chamber. "Are... Come... Sit beside me Aadya... Beta Navratri is going to start soon," She informed me. (Navratri is a nine days festival where for nine days people fast and pray to the nine forms of goddess Parvati. The nine different forms signify the nine different characters of a woman. It is to pay respect to all the nine forms residing in a lady and pray for well-being.) "It is also your first festival after marriage. I want you to take the charge of everything and prepare a feast on the last day of Navratri. And here choose nine different colours for nine days. It would signify you as the Navadurga of our kingdom, people would learn a bit about their to-be queen and will look up to you with new respect and admiration filling their eyes." She told me and I nodded. We chose nine different colours for the Navratri and I did the chores left for the day.Day went and

    The next morning arrived too soon for my liking. I looked up to see the sun has begun to rise and I am super late. I ran from the chamber after getting dressed and started my morning routine. After a while, I returned back to the Chamber to see Aditya still sleeping like a baby, cuddling a pillow. And he is going to be the king in the near future. But look at him. He sleeps like a baby and whines when tried to wake up. I shake him but he turns to the other side. "Aditya... Wake up... Maa is waiting for morning prayers." And he doesn't wake up. As usual.I went to the side table and picked up a silver jug filled with water. "Sorry," I said loudly and he scrunches his forehead in sleep. SPLASH!!! He woke up with a jerk. He looked at me and just said, "You are so done Aadya... I won't leave you now." and with that, he ran behind me. We were playing with water and I didn't notice earlier but now I was totally drenched. My pink skirt that was earlier touching the grounds was now stick

    Breakfast was peaceful. "Your highness... I have heard that Mugda is back in the kingdom. She was earlier out to meet her parents but now she is back." Chanda said, gaining my attention. "Who is Mugda Chanda??? And why does it matter even if she is back???" I was confused about this new entry. "Mugda is the chief concubine of the crown prince. Before marriage, he used to spend the most time with Mugda. She used to take up his whole time, even sometimes interfering with political matters. She is egoistic and used to torture every woman whom she found even a little competitive. She was planning on marrying the prince. But before she could proceed, the prince married you. She is still unaware of you being married to his highness." She explained or rather blurted all she knew. One advantage of having Chanda as my chief maid is that she is the walking newspaper of the palace. What is happening in which corner of the palace, everything is known to her. And one thing I like about her most

    My heart was beating at its highest pace. It couldn't have come true. He was supposed to be out of my life. "Surprised?? Are we now dear??" He said in a sickly sweet voice which instantly made me want to get miles away from this man. "Le... Let. Let me go... You don't know my husband. If he finds out you'll wish to be dead rather than be here." I tried to sound confident but came out timid and tired of all this. "Now this isn't the welcome I thought of darling... I at least deserve a little praise for my plan to take you away and what I am about to do. But before everything, I live the fear on your face. It makes me want to sin. " He said coming close to my face and I could feel his disgusting breath on my face. " Prince Darsh... The crown prince of Magadh, Prince Vikram Aditya is approaching us. Seems like he figured out where we are." A soldier came in and informed me of the good news I had been waiting for."What??!?? How can he know now, we needed to stay for 3 days in hiding?

    Aditya's POV:-The whole place has been in chaos for a week since the time Aadya disappeared. It was our wedding night when she was abducted from our chamber and the whole palace was disturbed. The people of the kingdom have been worrying about their crown princess. Our parents have been worrying about their daughter. And the army of the kingdom is searching everywhere for her. Some rumors have been provoked stating she ran away with someone. But my heart says otherwise. She can never run away from me. The moment we shared the other morning and the precious night, had me agreeing to my heart more than ever. The woman who evoked feelings in my stone heart cannot be a runaway bride. She too loves me. And I still stand by my point. "Vikram..." maa said caressing my head. Her voice was laced with concern. "At least eat something, son. You haven't eaten anything properly. Aadya won't like you ignoring your health like this. You need to be healthy to find and protect her." she said tryin

    The next morning, I woke up to find Aditya already awake and staring down at me with his head propped on his palm while supported by his elbow. I smiled at him and he wished me, "Good morning." to which I replied, "good morning." I started to get up when he stopped me and captured me in his arms," What happened Aditya?? " I questioned him to which he responded," Why do you want to leave so early, spend some time with me? " I sighed and he lowered his head in the crook of my neck and inhaled my morning scent. He started mumbling while his head was still as it is. "Your beauty outstands every other when you open your eyes. Your eyes feel like oceans, so deep and expressive. Your nose is slightly red with all the crying and when you are angry, it twitches a little. Your cheeks, turn pink when I am close to you, the blush, I adore it the most. Your lips are the most inviting thing to tempt me to come and love them. The rosy shade of them has me wanting to just taste them and the sweet n

    9 days, since the day of our vaghdaan, have successfully passed and fear started to fill me up, but more than anything, what made me more and more curious is the truth of what happened 3 months before our marriage.Aditya, from what I came to know, is not some arrogant man to come up with a war to just expand territory. He had a lot of chances to wage wars against other huge kingdoms but he refused to fight any war with them. Above all, I want to find out who was the woman Aditya fell for. As much as it would hurt me to let him go to another woman, he loves her. And binding them together would bring him happiness. Yes, it would hurt me. You heard it correctly. It would hurt because knowingly or unknowingly I fell for my husband, and the fact that my husband is in love with someone else hurts the most.The messenger I sent to my natal home, Rajgarh, has arrived back with the information my maid, Vishakha, has sent for me.I asked her to search for what occurred in those 3 months and ma

    "A....A...Ad...Aditya...What are you doing???" I tried to sound confident and fearless, but to my dismay, I came out even more nervous and weak. He had his hand draped around my waist. His head dipped in the groove of my neck, inhaling deeply my scent. His hot breath fanned my soft skin and his other hand was on my back. His this sudden behaviour and closeness were doing things to me that I never felt. It was like I had mixed emotions. Every emotion that a human could feel was swirling in the pit of my stomach. Locked in a chamber with him, this closeness, with the soft, cold breeze hitting us with the warmth his body was radiating, feels like home. I don't know how to justify the feelings but I felt peaceful as well as worked up. "Why did you play her??? Why didn't you tell her what authority you have on me??? Were you trying to give up your position to her??" His words were calm yet portrayed the storm stirring in him. "I just wanted to know your taste in women. I wanted to witne
