*Bhairavi Pov*“Thanks for the massage, Bhairavi.” Colton mumbled in gratitude before taking his arms back.“I can see the bruises over everyone’s arms for the past few days. What is happening?” I questioned him and glanced around waiting for Alastair to return for food.“We all are training for the future battle which would happen when the council will send an army as they know our location.” Colton explained making me frown.“But they would send the army belonging to the near lands so we are for victory as they all are weak.” He added and I felt relieved that no one will be hurt.“Where is he?” I inquired about Alastair.“He is still training himself. He is taking it hard.” Colton whispered.“I will go and see.” I mumbled standing up.“Leave him alone! Do not disturb his training.” Gavin uttered stopping me and I sighed.Everyone thinks that he has changed and accepted me, but he didn’t if I trust my gut than my eyes. He is like letting the moments pass and jump at the advantage he
*Bhairavi Pov*I threw the sword away and removed the cloth covering my face breathing in relief that no one from her Kingdom found her or doubted her.I do not want to go anywhere leaving Alastair. I waited for sometime before stepping outside and walked near to the chambers.I asked about the king from the few women standing near the doors and they replied him to be taken care of with the medical help and his family is inside.I glanced around to see that most of the men are staring at me and then Alastair stepped outside before glancing at me. He strolled near to me with a hard look while I frowned.He placed his hand around me and pulling my hair, making me stare into eyes asking “Tell me I am wrong. Tell me I am wrong that you are not the one whom we saw in the war place.”Now I understood why they are staring at me like that and I slowly nodded saying “It was me. But…”He cut me off pushing me away by force and let out many curses with his face becoming red.“All this time I tho
*Bhairavi Pov*“Princess!” it was about a few minutes since I climbed into the vessel but the word didn’t stop leaving from many people’s mouth.“I am so glad that you are safe, Princess Bhairavi. We all thought that you are no more.” King Vali uttered with pleasant tone who turned out to be the one found me near the shore.“How could you come here for the war by yourself with less number of soldiers?” I questioned him after we are already far away from the land of Nadir.“To prove your people that I am not going against their royals. I recently took the ruling on it, but not a single person is ready to be ruled by anyone other than you.” He explained and I gripped the railing feeling ashamed of myself for giving up on them while they were more than determined.“If I didn’t return to thank the person who saved my life then we wouldn’t have found you. This life I am living is because of you Princess as we didn’t know that there are so many people as per the news Council got. All the pe
*Bhairavi Pov*“Are you sure about this, Princess?” Ravi, the man who didn’t care for his life and stepped into Palmer to save her asked regarding my decision.“I want someone as my minister on whom I can trust my Kingdom with. However, do not worry about the pressures as there will be another one joining you when I find the proper person for it. You will be trained by the council regarding the duties and all you need is to be loyal to this land and me.” I replied, assuring him to not fear regarding the new position being offered by me.“You can enter the Palace and be the governess to look after everything to be in it’s place.” I added, glancing at the Maid who was there with me when I was in the Ramsey’s clutches.“I am honored with the position.” She mumbled before leaving the throne room while I ordered the few people to look after the little changes and inform me everything.“You need to take care about your health, Princess.” My personal Maid Tina mumbled when I continued to che
*Alastair Pov*“We would be reaching there in a few minutes.” Colton mumbled, rubbing his eyes as he just woke up.“Yes! We will wake up the remaining when we reach. They need to rest.” I uttered not looking away from the water.“You should have taken a little rest. It was a long journey and before this too you were busy with the pirates.” He suggested making me frown.“What if they are torturing her?” I questioned to myself and got an imagination of them harming her.“I do not think so. She saved the life of a King and that too who is the King of Tanika. She must be given some royalty treatment and showing her their gratitude.” He replied and I nodded because that can be true.“What if she left for her home and no one knows where she is?” I questioned another fear.“Are you ready to knock on every house in every Kingdom?” He questioned back.“For her I would.” I replied and got the answer.No matter what I should do, I will do it and get her back. How dare I am to reject out marriag
*Bhairavi Pov*“I can look after all these, Princess. Why don’t you go and have a glimpse at the fights happening outside the palace?” Governess asked when we are standing in the chamber which was used to be my Parent’s but the décor and a few other things got changed in these few days.“No! The chamber attached to this was always unused before, so is it cleaned like I asked?” I questioned her pointing at the door through which we can walk inside that chamber if we want from this King’s Chamber also along with the corridor outside.“Yes! It has also got a new change inside it.” She replied and I nodded before stepping near the door.This was supposed to be my Mother’s but she never used it like the before generations as my Father always step to the new one’s leaving the old traditions. I will not let it pass to the next, but for me I need this space.“A working table similar to the old one has been brought from the Council Chambers and placed in the working room.” She added when I con
*Alastair Pov*“How are you feeling at this moment?” Colton questioned walking near me after few council members left congratulating me.“Isn’t that question to be raised for a bride?” I questioned him back with the irritation I am feeling of wearing a royal tunic and breeches.“She seems to be more than normal about this but can’t say the same about you.” Jacey replied for him.“Did you meet her?” I asked her with hope.“No! But we saw her from a distance.” Jacey replied and I nodded.“This seems to be so new. I am used to the plain apparel’s and not these.” I mumbled wishing to tear my clothes.“You are now going to be the King of Agatha. You should get used to them like she got used to our normal apparel’s when she stayed with us.” Colton uttered and I stopped myself from feeling any more irritation.“I can do this for her.” I whispered and stepped near the stage and Bhairavi joined me not staring at anyone.Colton and Jacey stayed with me while the King and Queen sat with other Co
*Bhairavi Pov*I stepped inside his chamber through the connecting door and saw that he is lying on the floor and not on the bed making me frown.“Alastair!” I whispered his name while tapping on his uninjured shoulder.“What?” he asked with a sleepy voice.“I am going to call for the maids for water to have a bath. It would be good if you wake up.” I replied and he stood up with a frown.“I thought you will not be entering in here at all.” He mumbled and I remember my words uttering to him to not enter my chamber.“I never said that I am not allowed here. Anyway the maids shouldn’t talk anything about us and they will if we step out of different chambers.” I uttered before throwing the blanket on the bed and opened the door.“Tina!” I called for her and nodded at few maids who are walking around to clean the Palace.“Yes, Your highness?” She asked entering inside, but didn’t lift her eyes to glance at him.“Can you ask someone to bring water for the both bathing chambers and also cle
*Melody Pov*"Many people are coming here to learn from you about the herbs and medicines." Bess said amazed."Well when I retire from this duty, you can teach them everything." I said smiling."No Melody! You are great at it and I am myself a student to you all these three years." Bess said shaking her head."And you got to know everything. Now you are more than capable than you give yourself credit for." I said and she slowly nodded her head."Do not talk to me!" We heard Amy shouting and turned to see Juan pleading her."What happened?" I asked her smiling knowing fully well that it is another fight which will not happen for more than few minutes."He wants me to cook for him some sweets again." Amy whined."But I love them and I want to have them." Juan whined back."You shouldn't eat those many. It is ill for you." Bess said."That is what the problem is. He doesn't eat them. He just uses them to lure all the guards to train properly. He is getting his way in his work easily but
*Melody Pov*"So he was trying to make me jealous?" I asked Juan again."Yes! I just replied to his question that I once did it to Amy but I never thought he would do it with you." Juan replied."Thanks for letting me know." I said ashamed of myself but he was also at fault."Can you tell Amy to talk to me?" Juan requested gesturing to Amy who is looking away from us holding my Son."I will but you need to help me." I replied."What is it?" He asked."Today we are moving to new palace right? You need to somehow inform Kendrick like you just got to know the news that I am planning to take a big chamber for myself and place our son in the connecting room to it." I replied."He will kill me and you." Juan said shaking his head."Then Amy will not marry you." I said."Amy will marry me?" He asked smiling."Yes! But you need to do this." I replied.He sighed and left the room while Amy stood before me with a glare. I smiled at her took my Son so that he will not hear her shouts very near.
*Kendrick Pov*"Why are we having a stroll today?" Melody questioned me confused."I wanted to spend some time." I replied and she glanced at me surprised.I placed my arm around her and pulled her towards me while she just stiffened with wide eyes glancing at me."You shouldn't! This is not a private place." She whispered looking around."I am holding my wife and I am sure there is nothing wrong in that." I said with a shrug."I.. I.." she just trailed of and must be not knowing what to utter.She looked quite cute so I placed a small peck on her cheek and her eyes widened even more."King Kendrick! I need to go." Saying that she released herself from my grip and walked away.All these days I have been trying to show that I like her but she is distancing herself from me again.I walked towards Juan who is training Shan and smiled at them. Shan is working really hard and Juan is pushing him so much."Sir! I can't breathe." Saying that Shan backed away."You need to always prepare Shan
*Melody Pov*"Melody! Your Father is going to be here." Hearing those words I stopped my smile which didn't left my face from the time I have seen my Son.I held him closely to me and glanced at Amy asking "Why?""To meet your Son. The message was immediately sent to Velimar when the Prince was born." She replied gesturing to my Son who is nearly one week sleeping in my arms."No! I do not want him to meet anyone." I said shaking my head."We have no say in that. And even the King's parents didn't meet the new Prince as you were tired this one whole week with weakness." Amy said."Tell them that I am tired and retiring to bed." Saying those words I laid down holding my son in my arms."I will inform them." Mumbling Amy left my room.I sighed and caressed my son's scalp smiling at his sleeping form. Then I heard the door open and glanced up to see that it is Kendrick."Are you not feeling well?" He asked frowning."Why?" I asked him."Amy said....." he couldn't finish his sentence as w
*Melody Pov*After he left closing the door behind him, I lay down thinking about what he said. I can understand his fear for his child.And he did not even know I know about the herbs and medicines. So I cannot blame him.But he could have not raised his voice in that manner. When he was talking I can hear the hurt he felt when I didn't trust him making my heart pain that I had hurt him.As I was feeling little more uncomfortable I asked all of them to leave after making him know that I am not hurting our Child.Tomorrow I need to talk to him. I thought and tried to drift off into sleep but I did after long time.I opened my eyes when I suddenly felt a strong kick from inside not like everyday. Felling them I remember how Kendrick placed his hands on my bump to feel it even when he was mad at me without talking to me.I felt it again and suddenly pain started in high level. I glanced outside to see that it is already morning.I tried to get up but I just couldn't feeling more pain at
*Melody Pov*I walked inside his chamber and saw that he is already asleep. With a sigh I carefully walked near his bed and lay down beside him.Taking a hold of his hand which was on my pillow I made him hold me. Hearing his breathing I know for a surety that he is fully awake."I know you are not sleeping. But hear me completely." I said holding his hand."I was about to inform you about everything but you had to leave the Kingdom. I thought of doing it after you return.. but you already knew when you did." I uttered hoping he will understand a little.When he removed his hand from my hold and turned his back to my sight, I gave up from trying anymore. I have been doing the same for few days but he is still upset and angry.Today I didn't even waited for him to drift off and walked inside my room leaving his chamber hoping he will get the message that I give up."Until when?" Amy asked choosing a gown for the day."I do not know." I replied feeling uncomfortable in my breathing."Fo
*Melody Pov*"Albert is not going to visit this week. He sent a messenger today." Kendrick said and I nodded at him letting him hold me."Why is he postponing? From one month he is doing the same?" I asked him frowning."I do not know. Maybe he got caught up with something." He replied shrugging.He says something everyday before drifting off and I too started conveying whatever I wish to say a little regarding the matters he speak to me."Ok! I am going to sleep so you can go to your room like everyday after that." He abruptly uttered making me gaze at him in shock."What? Did you really think I wouldn't know? Maybe not at the beginning but later I realized it." Replying to my unasked question."I know you may need time or you are not even comfortable with me. I can understand." He added before drifting off into sleep.I just lay there awake for sometime and returned to my room through which I walked inside. This one week I begin using our connecting door.I didn't get even ounce of
*Melody Pov*"So you got to know what actually happened." I Questioned Amy when we were taking our late morning stroll."Yes! I was wrong in judging him before even knowing what happened." Amy replied looking away."He understands you and that's all you need." I said patting her hand."What about you?" She asked staring at me."What do you mean?" I questioned her confused."Why don't you tell him what happened? Your nightmares will reduce." She replied."Today he heard my nightmares but I couldn't bring myself forward to tell him everything." I said remembering today morning."But why? He is a kind guy." Amy pestered."You don't know Amy. He may be kind for now but in the end we can't ignore the fact that he is a man and also a King who gives importance to their duties and responsibilities." I uttered in stern voice."But..." she started to say but I cut her off saying "He already said he may not even be fond of me in near future as he nearly hated me before our wedding that he was re
*Melody Pov*I slowly walked towards his chamber main door but not the connecting door. I will stay outside his chamber and after knowing what he wants to say I will return to mine.Determining that thought I knocked on his door and he opened it few minutes later. I saw that he changed into comfortable clothes.He moved little back gesturing for me to move inside. I nodded entering against my determination which I made before knocking on the door.Then I felt him closing the door after I passed him. I turned abruptly around to see that he bolted the door.Calm down Melody! He will not hurt you. I thought slowly breathing."You asked for my presence King..." I couldn't finish my words as I felt his lips on mine.I didn't expect this in any sense and remaining senses left me when I felt him kissing me slowly. I couldn't help but just stay in my roots in shock.Releasing me he pressed his forehead to mine while I closed my eyes hiding away from his gaze. I slowly felt his hand on my smal
