Flashback 📸

It was a regular day like previous one, Princess Anika opened her eyes and felt sharp pain in her lower abdomen, she felt wetness between her thighs and when she reached out to touch the liquid she panicked seeing blood coming out from her vagina, her eyes widened and she let out a scream startling the guard outside her chamber "My baby" she whispered and placed her palm in her big bump, tears start cascading down from her eyes, hearing her scream the maid and guard entered in her chamber.

"I am bleeding, My baby" she shutters, the old maid who was only assigned to take care of Anika's health came forward, she ordered guard to go outside and inform Your Majesty about it, as the guard left, she quickly examined the situation and cleaned the blood from Anika's thighs.

"It's no big deal, Your little ones are good, In pregnancy when we stress a lott this happens, You are stressing allot lady, you need to stop taking tension and think about happy things" The maid informed softly and stepped back, The guard announced King Shivay's arrival who entered in chamber like a madman and without looking towards any other person he was on her side in a snap.

"From where are you bleeding, Are of okay? Why Physician isn't here yet?" The last question was directed towards maid who explained the situation to King Shivay easing his worry .

"When You know it's not good for you and our children, why the hell are you  taking this much stress, What is there for you to take stress Anika" he scolded her angrily, Princess Anika stare him for a minute before facing towards maid.

"My head is aching and Your Majesty is causing me stress, no no, not stress lots of stress, Can you please ask him to leave?" The maids eyes widened on Princess attitude she looked trapped in between her duty and her position and she decided to keep her mouth shut making Anika sign in annoyance.

"Do not disrespect me Anika, You aee not in place to show me attitude after what you have done? You do know that you committees treason by letting a criminal out from dungeon, Your friend or not she has attempted to kill me, she was planning to kill our child, she has attacked on Aasha and today in whatever condition Aasha is in is because of her only" King Shivay gritted his teeth angrily and held her arms roughly, he forced her face towards his direction and made her look into his eyes.

"Criminal or not I would have helped her if she would have stabbed me with a knife" Anika said stubbornly making King Shivay step back in disbelief, whatever Anika did was wrong and he have to make her accept it, he couldn't let it all go and give her free pass to do as her heart desire, it's his kingdom and he has some rules, when his own people will not follow them then how can he expect his people to follow them.

"What you have done is wrong Anika and You will be punished for that, I will make sure of it" he promised with a glare making Anika roll her eyes angrily, In past one week something has changed in her and now her heart desires the respect not the love he has shown or faked for his own benefits.

"What you have done was also wrong Your Majesty, What kind of King you are when your own people go behind your back to kill an innocent lady and an unborn child" Princess Anika retorted, her anger was shining brightly in her eyes "Your own wife stabbed you in your back, What kind of King you are that your own step brother got guts to kill the future heir of palace" She mocked "and about wrong then bringing a lady to your kingdom against her will was also wrong, manipulating her into situation to give into bed was also wrong, touching her when you have no sacred relation with her was also wrong, So what you have done was also wrong, Do not, I repeat do not talk about wrong" she shouted at the end making the man at front of her more furious.

"From where did all this came from, Last time I remembered we were past this, whatever happened wasn't forced or against your will, It was due to mutual deal, You too wanted a child, it was you who came with conditions" King Shivay retorted and made a tch sound "And I didn't kidnapped you or anything you were given to me on demand by your own family, so do not go around moping like it was me who has kidnapped you or anything"
