Mayaa~

4. Nymph 🧚‍♀️

❄

The rustling wind swayed the water making it appear as a mirage. But Mayaa new better. No matter how beautiful and scenic the water looks, it has unfathomable depth that could drown anyone. Struggling in her own turmoil, she was unaware of the steps approaching towards her.

Why? Came a small whisper.

Shamid I-

No! he roared. It was the first time after transmigrating into the princess body, did Mayaa see the Prince becoming this angry, especially on her.

Do you have any idea of what you have done Didi? Father and mother are broken with your decision and grandmother is about to pull your hair for your stunt he said while bowing his head in sadness.

The crown prince of Khwabeed had a soft corner for his sister and made sure that no harm came on her way. Mayaa felt mushy everytime this guy would come up and call her his Didi. Her sisterly instincts always kicked in and she showered her affection on her beloved little brother.

And what do you think of me Crown prince? I asked to which he raised his head up. I clearly saw his moistened eyes which were an indication that he knew how the upcoming events are going to unfold.

I am scared. I know you have always asked me to trust you and I do, especially your decisions. Nobody can be like you but I don’t trust that man and his intentions with you Sister he said while hugging me all of a sudden. Awwie.

I am glad that atleast someone has their faith still intact on me I joked and Shamid snorted back with teary eyes.

Oh so the princess is smiling as if she has won a war huh? Came the obnoxious voice of my grandmother, the queen mother of the empire.

The drama has unfolded. Huh.

Greetings Queen Mother! We both scurried and stood up while greeting her.

I thought you were smart but no! Nobody could beat you as a fool Princess Mayaa! she roared. Before I can say something in my defence she again charged at me.

What were you thinking while agreeing to that vile person? Are you really that interested to be labelled as a war fallen prisoner? What if he does something heinous with you? Dishonour. You will be the reason for my family’s dishonor you foolish girl! She screeched like a mad woman with a murderous glare.

One thing that I have learned after getting inside this hell of a novel is not to speak out of anger because the lives here are nothing. One wrong word and you’ll be dead like a leaf in autumn.

Trust me for once Grandmother. I assure you that a day will come when you yourself would praise my bravery I said while bowing down infront of her with a sad smile. No matter how strict she appears, she has always thought about the prosperity of the kingdom and her family. Her worries are reasonable.
