Chapter 14 - The Cruel Warrior Prince
"So are you going to tell me then, what exactly did I come for?" He asked, mischief evident in his eyes.
Ahankara blinked, looking away from him, as she felt heat rise up her cheeks.
"Hmm?" He pushed, leaning in towards her. She froze, closing her eyes tightly. "Can you tell me what I came for, Princess?" He whispered huskily in her ear, while Ahankara gulped, trying hard to get her wrist free from him.
"Or even better, why don't you just give it to me?" Yashvir smirked, lightly touching his nose against hers.
"Yashvir," Ahankara whispered and turned her face to the side. "Stop it. Get away from me."
"Or what?" He raised an eyebrow, pulling her even closer to himself, his grip on her wrist tightening slightly. Ahankara tried to push him away with her free hand, but he caught hold of that wrist too, also twisting it behind her back. "Now, what will you do if I do not stop this?"

"Aye Bhagwan (Oh God)! You look so stunning, Rajkumari, I can't take my eyes off you!" Neharika squealed, staring at Ahankara. "Yuvraj really got a beautiful dress for you. Is the embroidery actually of gold?""Yeah," Ahankara nodded, looking in the mirror. This time, even she was shocked to see herself. She did look beautiful. The deep red color of the dress looked beautiful against her brown skin, and the real gold embroidery was truly out of this world. Although she was bothered by the weight of her jewellery, the heavy necklaces, heavy jhumkay (traditional Indian earrings), rings, anklets, and the teeka (a hair accessory), she could not deny that these enhanced her beauty and really made her look like a Queen. Like the soon to be Queen of Kalang. The bride of the Yuvraj.Her heart pounded in her chest at the thought, as her doom seemed to be nearing. Yashvir had maintained the distance he had been asked to for the previous night, and h
Of Flames and Roses Chapter 16 - The First Night
As soon as Shivanya left her alone in Yashvir's room, Ahankara stood up from the bed, feeling her heart hammer in her chest. The room was only lit with oil lamps, and the whole room smelled of roses. She kept staring at the door of the room with fear in her eyes and shivers through her body. She was his wife now. The moment he had been waiting for to touch her had arrived. Any moment now he would enter through that door, and claim her body. And she would not be able to do anything to stop him.Feeling herself hyperventilate, Ahankara took deep breaths, trying to calm her nerves. She tried to distract herself, walking around his room, exploring it. She noticed how there was a dressing table in the room, probably kept for her. A shiver swept through her body as she realized what it meant. She would have to stay in his room, spend the night with him quite often. Usually Kings would keep their rooms and their wives' rooms seperate, so they would only go to the

"We're sleeping in the same bed, and that's final. You don't have another option.""I can't sleep in the same bed as you," Ahankara retorted.Yashvir narrowed his eyes at her, and pulled her close to himself by her wrist. "Why not?"She gasped, trying to get her wrist free as she stared at him with wide eyes."I don't trust you," she muttered softly."You don't what?" His lips cracked into an amused smile."I-I don't trust you," Ahankara repeated, still struggling to get her wrist free.Yashvir pursed his lips, still smiling. He caught hold of her other wrist as well, and pushed her back, making her lie down on the bed."What are you doing?" She asked with wide eyes, her heart instantly beating faster.He climbed on top of her, straddling her body."You think... I'd take advantage of a sleeping woman?" He

"Rajkumari?" Someone said softly, lightly shaking Ahankara by her arm. "Rajkumari?""Who is it?" Ahankara's eyes shot open and she sat up, looking around. It was a maid, who quickly stepped away from her, her eyes downcast."Khamma Ghanni Rajkumari," she joined her hands. "I am your personal maid. My name is Heer.""Ghanni Khamma," Ahankara replied, heaving a sigh of relief. She had been startled when Heer was waking her up."Rajkumari, should I draw a bath for you? Rani Aaradhya was asking about you," she said softly, her eyes fixed on the ground."Yes, please do that Heer," Ahankara yawned, covering her mouth. "And, Rani Aaradhya, as in the King's second wife?""Yes, Rajkumari," she nodded."Tell me something, um, Rajkumari Shivanya, and Rajkumari Phool. They're both Maharani Hansa Bai's daughters, right?" Ahankara inquired."Yes, Rajkum
Of Flames and Roses Chapter 19 - Rani Aaradhya
"You called me, Rani Aaradhya?" Ahankara questioned, when Rani Aaradhya did not say anything to her for a few moments. She just sat there quietly, getting her legs pressed by two maids, as she silently stared at Ahankara. Looking at her from head to toe, her eyes slightly narrowed."Hmm," she responded, now looking away from her, as she gestured to the maids to stop. "Leave us," she ordered them, as she slowly stood up from her seat. The maids obliged immediately, and Rani Aaradhya walked up to Ahankara, radiating an overly intimidating aura. Ahankara could not deny how beautiful Rani Aaradhya was, but her eyes held something negative, a distaste directed to her, which made her feel uncomfortable."So you're the supposed beauty who stole the Yuvraj's heart," Aaradhya said, glaring daggers at Ahankara, as she started to walk around her, carefully studying her.Ahankara opened her mouth to reply, but realized that she was at

"Your hair is so shiny, Rajkumari," Heer complimented, as the comb went through her thick brown locks smoothly."Thank you," Ahankara smiled, as she continued to work on the small piece of cloth she was decorating with embroidery."Maharani Hansa Bai of Kalang is arriving!" One of the servants outside announced, to inform her of the Queen's arrival into her bedroom. Ahankara placed the small cloth of embroidery on the dressing table, standing up in respect for her mother-in-law. She entered Ahankara's room followed by her personal maid, who accompanied the Maharani everywhere she went."Khamma Ghanni, Maharani Sa," Ahankara joined her hands in greeting."Ghanni Khamma," Hansa Bai nodded at her. "I need to speak to you, Rajkumari Ahankara.""Of course, Maharani Sa. What is it?""Did you say something to the Yuvraj? Have you two been in a fight?" She questioned, making Ahank

"I was thinking, Maa Sa isn't convinced that we have a good relationship. So how about we give her proof?" Yashvir smirked, his dark, thirsty glance moving to her neck."Yashvir," Ahankara breathed, as she struggled to get her wrists free. "Please don't do this.""I promise, you'll love it, my beautiful wife. It won't hurt," Yashvir replied."Yashvir, please don't," she continued to plead with him."Just relax, you don't have to be so afraid. Now close your eyes, and get ready to experience the best feeling of your life."Ahankara shook her head, struggling to get her wrists free, while Yashvir stared at her with a small smirk on his face. He began to lean in, very slowly, making Ahankara's heart beat faster with every second."Yashvir," she whispered, her eyebrows knitted together."Relax," he chuckled, leaning away again. "I'm just joking."

"What?" She asked, frowning."I need a promise from you."Ahankara blinked. "What kind of promise?"Yashvir stepped closer to her, but she backed away from him. He sighed, and then gently cupped her cheeks, not stepping any closer to her."I want you to promise me, that no matter what happens, you will always remain loyal to me, and to Kalang. No matter what happens, even if you get a chance to, you will never try to escape. Because Ahankara, this is not a prison for you. This is your home now, and I can only make you feel at home if you are willing to accept this Castle as yours. So promise me, you're not going to abandon Kalang, or me," he said softly.Ahankara stared into his eyes with her mouth parted, as she thought over his words. Was he asking too much? Definitely."You mean I should stay with you no matter how you treat me?" Ahankara questioned."N
