The oil lamp started flickering as it fought the strong wind.It annoyed her Sukriti blew it off. She trolled across the room to come and sit infront of her dresser.
'Am I not beautiful enough?'
Her beauty was always praised for being the supreme among all the princesses, 'Sunflower of Shethrilli ' that was what the people of her country called her. But it was of no use to her, it was no use to bewitch him.
'Useless..'
The ornaments and jewels lying on the dresser were useless. No matter how she adorned herself with them. He never spared a glance for her, But for that woman..
'Why not me! '
She pushed the decorated boxes filled with ornaments resulting them to make a crashing sound as they hit the ground.
All this frustrating for her, she hated this whole situation. She hated the way the prince looked at that foreign woman, the way he smiled at her and how he reacted to her every action.
'It was all supposed to be mine! His loving gaze, His smile. All mine!'
Was this his taste in women? Foreign women? Was he intrigued by them?
Just what in her interested him. Her white skin? Sukriti thought that the foreign woman had a skin too white almost as if she was deprived of blood, She couldn't help but find that skin of hers to something she couldn't appreciate in the sense of beauty.
Or was it those green eyes that stole his attention?
She had to admit that those green eyes stood out among the dark eyes of the natives but they stood out too much. The green of those eyes reminded her of the deadly snakes found in the deep forests of her kingdom. The eyes were rich green as if they were filled with the venom of those snakes.
She just couldn't figure out why he showed such a intrest in the woman.
Clack
The sound of the door opening caught her attention and she already knew who it was by the fact that no knock was heard prior.
A man with a lean muscular build entered the room, clicking his tongue the moment he caught a sight of a Sukriti sitting infront of the mirror.
" उस सेनापति के पीछे भागना बंद करो। "
" Stop running after that commander. "
Sukriti inhaled weakly as her brother yet again mocked her.
" भैया वो केवल कोई सेनापति नहीं है, इस राज्य के राजकुमार भी है.. और हम प्रेम करते हैँ उनसे। "
