The Barbaric Proposition {Royal Engagement Series 1}

14. Ignorance Of Samrat

In the Side Mahal of Kunwaries Maya was currently enjoying in the small garden in the backyard. Her personal sevika was serving her tea and snacks. Maya loves flowers, back in the minister mansion, she used to have a garden beside her room. There were many flowers which she liked. She used to care it herself. But after entering the palace, she couldn't ask for a garden for herself since she don't have any official title or power to order. Besides though ShtriMahal is a huge place, but the West Wing of Kunwaries are limited inside the boundary. There were only 5 rooms in the West Wing. Luckily she has small garden in the West Wing so she came here daily to enjoy the sight even though it was not exquisite at all.

"Kunwari, I can see that there are many flowers bloomed today. Some of them smells really good. Do you want me to pluck some and make fragrance power for you?" Dyuti, her personal sevika asked.

"It's fine, though these flowers are beautiful, it's not my favourite one" Maya shook her head.

"Back in the Minister Mansion, there are many flowers you liked the most. Madam used to care about it a lot. But after you entered the palace, no one cares about you. Seeing you like this I feel bad. How about we ask madam to deliver few pots of flowers in the palace Kunwari? Wouldn't it be better?" Dyuti suggested suddenly.

"It's not a bad idea though" Maya nodded. As she was thinking, a palace sevika ran inside.

"Kunwari, the sevika of Samragyi is here asking for you"

"Sevika of Samragyi?" Maya was surprised. Why she is here again? Suddenly she felt something is wrong. She looked at the palace sevika again, "did she said why she is here?"

"I have asked but she refused to say a word. She even told us that she was here for you and would say the reason when you meet her. Kunwari you have to meet her personally to know the reason. We can't ask and annoy her again" the palace Sevika looked apologetic.

Maya suddenly felt restless. She couldn't fathom why Samragyi's sevika came asking for her. She predicted many possibilities yet she couldn't pick the right reason. Feeling more irritated she got up and walked inside.

She saw Samragyi's sevika was standing there waiting for her. Maya frowned as she walked towards her, "what's the matter? Did Samragyi asked us to come again?"

Medha shook her head, "Kunwari Maya it's only you that Samragyi called. You are being invited in the court by Samragyi"

Maya was shocked. What did she say? She was invited in the court? But why? Other Kunwaries also came out to see what's happening. When they heard that Maya was invited in the court they exchanged some look. Before no one was invited in the court. But this time why Samragyi called her to the court?

"In the court? Why?" Maya asked again.

"Kunwari Maya, you have to come with me. Everyone is waiting for you in the court. We couldn't be late anymore. We have to hurry, it will also take time to reach there" Medha said impatiently.

Maya felt restless. Suddenly being called in the court made her scare. But she also know this time it wasn't Samragyi that waiting for her but Samrat was also there. Now thinking about Samrat she is also excited. She has seen him once in the banquet. And after she entered the palace she never had the chance to see him. Now it was her chance to take. No matter what she knew she had never done anything wrong so there's nothing to worry too. Besides her father must be in the court. Thinking all of this Maya nodded her head. Then she almog with her sevika left hurriedly.

Dhiti looked at Sambhara, "why did Samragyi called her in the court?" She frowned.

Sambhara glared at her, "how would I know? The news came so suddenly and that sevika didn't even reveal the real reason. I am already tensed myself and you are asking me this?"
