Kept For Heir

52

I know there is too much flashback, cough cough, but then again I don't want to mix past and present so bear with it 😅

Flashback 📸

Princess Anika stepped out from bath chamber with only cream silk cloth wrapped around her frame, her long hair were flowing in all directions making it hard for her to keep her hold steady on the draped piece of cloth around her body, King Shivay stayed silent in corner of her chamber without making a single noise and savouring her glorious half naked body through his eyes, his heart sped up in his chest making him place his palm on his chest.

Princess Anika make her way towards the large mirror in her chamber, her eyes searched for anything that would have helped her to hold the cloth on her body, she look around her for something but found none, and ehen she raised her eyes and looked herself in mirror her chocolate brown eyes collided with his stormy blue eyes, she gasped at the intensity of his gaze, she once again felt herself going weak on her knees, her body itched to close the distance between them but she held all emotions back 'It's not what you want Anika' she repeated in her head and break their eye contact "DO NOT FEEL SPECIAL JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE CARRYING MY SEED, YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF MY CHILDREN , YOU ARE STILL MY MISTRESS NOT MY WIFE NOT THE QUEEN OF THIS KINGDOM " the word echoed in her head, her finger wrapped in fist " It's not what you want, you cannot compromise with the only thing you have always fought for Anika, Your respect and you have already jeopardize it enough" she mumbled to herself.

As she was lost in her thought, she felt fingers wrapping around her hair, holding all her hair at a place, slowly the comb work started, she look straight to find Your Majesty working on her hair, a part of her swoon on his act but another grunted in annoyance and anger, Anika clenched her fist but kept her lips sealed, as he combed her hair before placing the comb back on table and get on his knees before he start making Indian braid of her hair, his eyes were fixate on her as his hand worked on her hair, and she was looking at anywhere but him breaking his heart ever so slightly.

Once her hair was done, he made her turn towards him, he has lots of thing to talk, he wanted to tell her that it wasn't intentional it was only out of anger and his stupidity "I didn't mean those words Anika" he whispered softly, she looked at him with her emotionless eyes, giving him straight message that it meant nothing to her "I was angry for what she did, she tried to kill me and in that process she has hurted you as well, you did commit treason Anika and that's a crime, the only punishment of treason is death, You do know I was angry that you out of all the people could do something like that, Many people has betrayed me but your betrayal hurt most" he confessed with his head hung low, his voice was heavy with emotion.

"It all came out sudd...." He was cut off by her this time, She sharply look at him straight in his eyes before whispering "Nothing come out of mouth suddenly Your Majesty, It only comes out Because it was there, and You don't have to come in Your Mistress chamber daily just to repeat the same tale again and again, It's my body you do want right, have it" with this Anika opened the knot of the cloth letting it fall behind, his eyes widened and he look at her face with disbelief written all over his face, he felt angry on himself, he stepped away from her and look at her with hurt evident in his eyes.

"Is this what you think Anika?" He simply asked, and her silence was loud enough for him to hear, he sighed before he left her chamber.
