Queen of a Beast (Slow Updates)

Chapter 8

Shivaay's pov:-

Somehow, I am calming myself down from exploding my anger in front of ministers in the meeting. But instead, they are increasing my anger at the moment.

In the eastern side of Suryanagar, the nearby villages of the river are exploited due to the sudden flood and every crop is destroyed. And so, they are having a debate to whether fix the houses first or to provide food first as, a lot of expense will be costed on both the things.

Then there one the southern side, the nearby kingdom, Chaya nagri, is preparing for a war because there one spy was caught in here and was brutally killed so, they intend to take their revenge out in a war.

And so many more concerns to be taken care of. And none of it was unusual for me. The one who is unusual is me.

From the moment, I heard her rejection when I asked her whether she desires to live in this palace or not. Its keeping my mind off track which is something, I was totally not prepared for.

I never met a woman like her, who actually had the guts to reject me, even if she is just a maid or a neighbouring kingdom's princess.

Its not like I have any interest in every woman or that every woman has interest in me but she, she is completely different from every other woman, I know.

And her innocently beautiful face, it really has dominated my mind, so bad that I can't even hear what the ministers are fighting each other for.

In my mind, it's only her face, her eyes and her nectar like voice when she spoke to me. Its the first time in my life, have I ever something like this. She doesn't know it yet but she has me completely wrapped around her finger and I am afraid for the first time, as to what will happen if I loose her?

Just imagining it, worsened my mood and I suddenly roared for everyone to be silent. And everyone looked trembling to each other and sat on their seats and looked down.

"Manik, inki baaten sun kar hume baad me bata digiyega. Hum ab ja rahe h." (Manik, listen to their pleas and tell me about it later. I am going now.)

And I stood up from my seat when everyone started shouting king or listen to my pleas or king please listen. If only I could get a break from this cursed life.

And even when I found my salvation, it rejected me. And this rejection, I can't bear with it. I have to ask her politely again and maybe if I clear my intentions in front of her, she will say yes and then I will marry her, and cage her as my wife, only for me.

But before I could get out of the throne room, one minister interrupted me in middle and said,"mujhe chama kar de, maharaj. Magar ye baat aapko batana jaruri h." (Forgive me, your majesty. But it is important to tell you.)

"Kahiye" (with gritted teeth) (speak.)

"Maharaj, Chandanpuri ke maharaj ki putri ka janamdin h parso aur maharaj ne aapko amantran diya and kaha h ki aapki sehmati hi lekar lautoon." (Your majesty, Chandanpuri's princess's birthday banquet is there day after tomorrow and he has invited you and ordered me to come with a positive response.)

"Karn ko keh digiyega ki hum aajayenge aur kuch?" (Say to Karn that I will come.)

"Ji nhi maharaj." (No, your majesty.)

And ignoring him, I walked forward and to my study. All my prime ministers followed me and rest all, bowed their heads and didn't dare say anything else.

In the study

I collected the papers on my desk and was just about to read the letters when I heard footsteps out of the study and then a knock followed.
