Prince's Hidden Page: A Forbidden Romance

4 • Thinking About Her

Veer

Few days passed away. Now I should forget about that night. But I could not. For some reasons I kept on thinking about that night and about her. I told her to keep that night as a secret but could I hide it from myself?

I can hide it from the world but from me?

After taking a bath, I wore a normal kurta. I was going to meet father. He called me to meet him. I just hoped that it was not a meeting for my marriage again.

Getting out of my chamber I started walking towards my father's chamber. The King's chamber. And when I reached, the guards left the gate, gesturing me to enter.

With a deep breath, I stepped in. " Baba " I called him and saw him sliding the curtains and coming towards me.

" You called me? " I asked before sitting on one of the couch.

He nodded before sitting in front of me.

" I needed to have this conversation with you "

I raised a brow. " What conversation? "

" Soon guests are arriving in Chandrapur" He Informed me.

" Who? " I asked further to be more clear.

" The king of our neighbor kingdom, Shratangarh. Raja Dhirendra and her daughter "

I inhaled deeply. I could feel where he is going to take this conversation. We have talked about this before too.

" I have received his letters. He is also looking for a sweet relationship with our kingdom. What do you think son? It's the time for your decision " He added curving a smile on his lips. But for some reasons, I did not smile back.

" What are you trying to say? " I still did not want to go to any conclusion. I wanted him to be more clear at first. So I asked.

" Your marriage with his daughter. " Just as he declared that, I stated,

" I am against of it "

" Then we have to face the war son. " Suddenly his expressions changed. He looked disturbed.

I sucked the air quickly and said,
" I am not afraid of wars. If you want Shratangarh, I am ready to win it. I'll give it to your feet "

" I want a sweet relationship with them. I have invited them already "

Shaking my head, I disagreed, " A marriage of alliance is not going to happen. At least not in my case " I felt myself being torn between my duty and personal beliefs. A marriage of alliance is only for political gain. Though I have no place for love in this life but a relation just for a kingdom is not my thing.

I am ready for any war. But not for this.

" You are the eldest prince of this kingdom. Why don't you understand that your marriage is important! "

I understood that the conversation is not going to reach anywhere. "You can't force me. I am sorry " I said.

" Listen son. I know that you & the princess of Shratangarh don't know each other. But you can try to know her after he will reach here. You both can know each other even after the marriage. There's no problem in marriage of alliance. It's a gain from both sides " He tried to explain his reason.

I shook my head. I still was not ready. I opened my mouth to say something but suddenly that got interrupted.

" Pranam Raja, Param Rajkumaar " A female voice came. And I knew the voice.
