*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
*Alastair Pov*I glanced at the table which has some papers, but I do not know completely what are they about. I cannot see whether we are in more need of the livestock and the farming or we are in less.Then my eyes followed the woman who is pacing infront of the table holding a few papers with deep concentration lurking in her eyes. It’s been two days since I touched her as per her wish and also only I am uttering the words, but she is saying the things that are relating only to the Kingdom.I sighed, making her throw a half glance at me before staring back at the work she is doing and started writing down. She called for the Minister and he appeared within minutes.“Send this message to King Vali by someone trusted.” She ordered and he nodded before leaving.King Vali know everything but I do not know anything. I sighed again and this time she glanced at me directly with no work to do.“Are your wounds healed?” She questioned.“Yes! Is there something to do?” I questioned, raising
*Bhairavi Pov*“Are you sure about this, Colton?” Alastair questioned him and I too sat in the anticipation of his reasons for choosing this step.“Yes! Within these few days I wandered around and found that I actually like this Kingdom. I was always very enthusiastic when you used to talk about any modernized things and now seeing it with eyes, I do not want to go back.” Colton explained glancing at me and I nodded.“But this is a very big step to take, Colton.” I pointed out.“I know! I am not asking you to take me in a direct way. I found out that you are going to give away a competition to choose your second minister and I want to participate.” He mumbled.“If Gavin is doing bad things at Nadir then you could rule that place than just being minister to this.” I uttered.“Let me be fair, Your highness. We all are a bunch of people who were living with minimal touch with other people from other land with a conception that Council is the bad guy. But it turned out they have their opi
*Bhairavi Pov*“Are they here or even near to the land?” I questioned Ravi the second he stepped into the Palace.“No! But the guard said he will let us know the moment he sees any ship near to Tanika.” He assured me and I nodded hoping that everyone reaches here safely.“Colton seems to be impressing the Council too much.” He commented and I shook my head.“He is a good person and will be great minister. You both will be.” I mumbled and he nodded and we glanced at the place where the training is in the process.“The training is moving in a fast space. All the warriors were little concerned to know the King training them, but his highness is training them with something which they do not even know. With this our warriors will be more powerful.” Ravi continued to praise Alastair and I saw that he is showing the warriors everything he knows.“Did you send warriors to Palmer land?” I asked him and he nodded gesturing for me to sit making me give him an eye roll.“I am younger than you. Y
*Bhairavi Pov*“They all are settling down in a fine way.” Alastair mumbled entering the workroom.I glanced up asking “Is training over?”“Yes! Warriors of Nadir joined today and started learning the ways of Agatha’s warriors.” He replied and I slowly nodded.“It’s been a few days and I can see the children have also calmed down with the recent events.” I uttered when he sat down.“Yes! Are you with child?” His questioned startled me a little would be an understatement and I composed my shocked face into blank one.“Why the change in topic?” I questioned him back.“I saw the concern for other children in your eyes making me think about ours. So, are you with child?” he repeated the question.“No!” I replied, staring at his face.“Are you for sure?” he questioned again.“If you want to know in detail why do I think I am not with child, then I would love to explain it.” I replied sighing.“Fine! What would you have done if you were and I didn’t reach here soon to stop you from becoming
*Alastair Pov*“We should be leaving.” Ravi uttered when I continued to glance at the warriors who are having a few moments of time to spend with their families hoping to return alive.“Yes! Did you spend your time with your family?” I questioned him.“I do not have anyone and that is the reason because of which I went to Palmer on my own to rescue the Princess.” He replied smiling.“I remember you with another woman who is looking after the palace tending to Bhairavi.” I mumbled and he nodded.“Yes! She had to eat the food way before than everyone so she lost her consciousness soon than all of us.” He explained.“I didn’t know the reason until now.” I mumbled to myself and felt silly to even think her as some weak woman at that moment.“You will be the great minister for this Kingdom and will have a bright family of yours soon.” I uttered patting his shoulder and walked inside to get ready and wear the armor.After finishing the bath in the bathing room to which I am still getting us
*Alastair Pov*“What did I do now?” I questioned her with confusion lurking in my head.“What did you not do?” She again questioned back, which she has been doing from the moment she stepped inside.“Bhairavi! I am tired, so tell me what other mistake I did and I will apologize.” I replied shaking my head.“How dare you make yourself get attacked those many times? Don’t you know that you should also think about your safety?” She asked stepping near me.“I do not understand.” I replied in a whisper.“You put yourself before all the warriors. How can you do that?” She questioned with her rage raising more.“Is that a wrong thing to do? I thought you would be ecstatic if I do that.” I replied with a frown.“I would be ecstatic? For what?” She asked now having a frown over her face for herself.“You care for your people more than anything. If any warrior’s life is lost, then his family would be sad which would have made you sad.” I started saying and her eyes widened.“Alastair!” she mumb
*Alastair Pov*I walked outside my Chamber to put the dishes away and saw Tina lurking around the corridor with a stress expression making me frown.“What is it?” I questioned her unexpectedly to which she got a little startled but composed herself.“It is nothing, Your highness.” She replied looking down.“It is ok! You can tell me your problem.” I assured her.“My Mother took ill today afternoon and I just got to know about it few moments back through a guard.” She mumbled.“I am sorry to hear that. Why don’t you leave and be with her?” I questioned her frowning.“I want to! After a few moments I have to go inside to help her highness and leave taking her permission.” She replied glancing at Bhairavi’s chamber door.“Do not worry about that. I will inform her and you should leave this moment before it gets more dark which would be not good for you.” I assured her to which she left reluctantly.I walked downstairs to put the dinner dishes away, ignoring the protests from few maids an
