Hrithik walked in slow steps towards the office in the ground floor and stopped in front of the door and knocked once, and a guard opened it to him
Hrithik: the Prince is expecting me
The guard bent and signalled to him to enter then closed the door behind then Hrithik saw Pratap sitting behind his office and he smiled faintly
Pratap in low tone: Prince Hrithik, take a seat
Hrithik sat down slowly as Pratap said in low tone
Pratap in low tone: I hope you are enjoying your stay in the palace
Hrithik smiled faintly: yes Prince, everyone is very welcoming to me
Pratap in low tone: and the Princess?
Hrithik smiled widely: Princess Malika didn't leave a chance to make me feel home and ..
Pratap frowned faintly and Hrithik smile vanished and nodded
Hrithik: forgive me, you were speaking about Princess Surbhi
Pratap in low tone: your first meeting weren't very pleasant I am afraid, such misfortunate circumstances
Hrithik: yes Princess Malika told me about her injured dove and the punishment Prince Arjun gave her, telling me her actions on the dinner was just her being upset
Pratap in low tone: Princess Malika is very wise
Hrithik: and very kind, because I spoke with Princess Surbhi and she said different
Pratap frowned deeper as Hrithik added in low tone
Hrithik: she made it clear that she doesn't want this marriage, after she publically refused me
Pratap frowned: such a young foolish girl, her words can't be taken seriously
Hrithik: I came to speak to you about that, I believe that Princess Surbhi is just against this marriage because she is not ready yet, I don't see another reason for her refusal, I am a pure blood Prince and I can give her the respect and glory she deserve between the royal families, so I promised her to postpone the wedding till she is ready and she agreed
Pratap sarcastically: how generous of her but I am afraid you have to break your promise then, because the wedding will be in time
Hrithik strictly: Prince Pratap I respect you and I owe you my life, you practically raised me but I am afraid I have to remind you of who I am and who my family is, we are allies, we should not lose this and if my family knew that your last daughter is forced to marry me, then my family will sure take this as an insult and I don't wish to see this because I can't go against my family
Pratap: should I consider this a threat?
Hrithik in low tone: no Prince, forgive me, it is a fear I am sharing with you, I should also remind you how fragile the Princess Image between the families considering she is illegal daughter to a foreign Prince that your family not revealing who he is, she needs this marriage to clear her name, the whole family does, please consider this in your decision
Pratap in low tone: I won't deny you are right, you have a pure royal blood, power and a good royal name our Princess needs perhaps I should remind you with your family situation
Hrithik swallowed and looked down with wide eyes .
Pratap In low tone: you need this marriage more than us
then suddenly Pratap's white eyes widened and swallowed then stood looking through the window glass
Hrithik: forgive me if I upset you or if..
