Authors pov:-
The sky is clear, the winds are blowing in its pace. Red curtains of a room is blowing with the winds and inside was one man in a not so peaceful state was sleeping on a golden bed with red bedsheet and blanket. He twisted his body and lazily opened his black obsidian like eyes. He looked around himself and slowly, removing his blanket, sat up. He then stretched out hua arms a bit and then proceeded to stand up. After wearing his soft golden shoes, he stood up and went towards his private pond. After he was done, he came out of the water wearing a robe and snapped his fingers to call the servants. Within a second, a bunch of women entered the women, shaking to death.
Shivaay's pov:-
As usual, they are so much scared of me as if I intend to feed on them like an animal. I can't help if I look like it or even if I have a personality like that but sometimes it's just too much.
After I am all ready for today's meeting, I came out of my room and went straight to the throne room.
Being a king is not as easy and enjoyable as it seems. You are not only the king or leader of these people but you have to be like a father to the whole kingdom. Take responsibility to maintain peace everywhere and keep everyone happy even if it means sacrificing your own.
My whole childhood I have been taught to fight for my people but without ruining their life or peace. My parents were killed by our enemy nation so that they can capture this kingdom but as soon as the news of their death arrived, the following day, I was declared the king at the age of 10 years and it's been 20 years since I have ruling over this kingdom. I never got the chance to enjoy my childhood and probably that's the reason I am very strict in everything.
I know I shouldn't be doing all this but I can't stop myself when it comes matters like war. When I was competent enough to fight, I fought against the nation who killed my parents and wiped out their entire Kingdom in my revenge. And even after, I have fought at least 5 wars by now and enlarged my kingdom.
I honestly enjoyed killing people but there is something empty inside me which nothing seems to fulfil it. At one point, I so brutally killed one enemy that there was a rumour which called my warlust man or a mad beast because of my way in killing people and torturing them.
Even now, as I entered the throne room, everyone bowed down their heads, no one dared to look in my eyes. It's always like this so I couldn't care less about this. I went straight towards the thrones. One of them was mine and one was empty for a queen.
I don't have any interest in marriage and if it comes to the matter for an heir then I will have to do it. But I highly doubt any woman would want to marry me, a living beast.
All of them are scared as hell whenever I pass by them as if I will kill them if they did any mistake. I will probably but they are scared for no reason.
I sat on my throne and raised my hand, signaling them to raise their heads. One by one, everyone raised their heads but no one looked me in the eyes, everyone's eyes were on my shoes.
And just like this, our daily meeting started. They were the same things to be done, somewhere due to heavy rain, the houses have destroyed. Some farmers have lost their crops due to the flood. Whereas, due to drought, people are starving and they have to be provided food and water.
The meeting took very long to get over this time, it was lunch time so I dismissed everyone and I got up from the throne with the heavy crown on my head and started walking towards my dinning room.
Just as I walking through the garden corridor, I heard and angelic laugh and I stopped in my tracks. I looked at the garden but found no one. That laugh was still there but the person was unknown.
I went further in the garden and I saw a young girl whose back was facing me and it seemed she was playing with a white dove.
I don't know what drew me towards her but I couldn't just resist her and was drawn like a moth to her. Her flowing beautiful open long deep brown hair with flowers in it. Her light pink lehenga with no stones was more beautiful than the ones with stones.
Her petite figure seemed like it will not even reach my chest. Her small but irresistible waist was in my view and suddenly I had this urge to cover it so that no one else would be able to see it. I don't know when I started getting this possessive over someone but she sure was something who made me feeling many things which I never thought I will feel.
I finally knew that I wanted her to be mine at any cost. And I will kill anyone who will dare harm her, I swear upon that. I fell hard for her even without looking at her face.
It's not like I care about her face, her angelic voice is enough for me. Just as I was about to approach her, someone called me from behind and I swear I wanted to kill that person if only it was not my trusted minister and he called me as it was getting late for the lunch and that I had an important meeting to take care of.
I turned back and moved along with him but not before promising her that I will come back for her and I will make her mine. I hope she will agree with me or else she is in great trouble now that she caught the eyes of the beast who is feared by this entire kingdom.
