Shivaay's pov:-
Anger.......
Its something which I have no control over. Something which triggers me every other minute of my life. Something which is mixed in my blood. Something which I am feeling heavily right now.
It cannot be told be these feelings are enough to gesture someone about it yet the man infront of me can't guess it a bit.
And what's more is that this man right here who is talking this freely with the future queen of this kingdom, is supposed to be her potential fiancé.
Not me, who is the emperor and can and will provide everything to her just in a snap of a finger but this ragged man with a medium fair skin tone, dusty brown hair and even light brown eyes who is smiling and talking to my queen.
If I tell now that who I am or rather who she is. It will be fun to see his reaction on it. But none of this nonsense change the fact that she is mine. Mine to love, mine to care, mine to marry and mine to make love to. Only mine and no other bastard is allowed to even take a glance at my queen or I will happily pluck his eyes out of his socket just like I willing to do it now.
If it were only about him, I could have confronted and manipulated her into me but even my queen, my goddess seems to be laughing freely in front of him which she never did once with me.
Never even glanced at me properly but look at her now, laughing like an angel but in front of other man. This is something which is definitely not allowed. I will have to discipline her also but without making her realise it because even right now. I have no intention to hurt my queen but I am more than willing to smash this bastard's head on the nearby wall.
And hence, for my queen, my future wife, I have to control myself. I can even start a war for her so killing people is a peace of cake but she will not like it. Therefore, I am only clenching my fist tightly to keep myself from exploding in anger.
Never in my entire life was I this much jealous of someone. Not even when my own father chose someone else capable for leading the army earlier instead of his own capable son. But right now, I don't want her to see any other man except me. I want to keep my palm over her big doe eyes so that she can't see that man's face at all.
But if only I could. If it were upto me then I wouldn't hesitate to claim my right on her this moment but it will be foolishness because then by chance if my identity gets revealed then I don't know what will be worse? A chaos in the village or the uproar in the kingdom as I am here.
To act smartly and make her mine, I can't do more than just to talk to her and make a proper plan before I ask for her hand from her mother.
And so, I just stood still and with my clenched fists, I gritted my teeth as I found them getting more friendly than needed.
My queen, enjoy this freedom the much you can because when you'll be in my castle, you're going to miss this life of yours very much. And there's nothing you can do apart from behaving like a queen that you are.
After some moments of their sweet talk, the guy looked at me and asked my queen about me. I thought maybe she will tell him about me and then he will finally leave us alone but I think that doesn't seem to be the case when faked her cough and sent him to fetch her a glass of water.
And then after he was out of sight, I gripped her arm and yanked her towards me which made unbalance a bit but didn't break her self- reliance. This is another reason of why I love her.
"My queen, don't you think you were getting too friendly for someone who met you the first time?"
"We-well, he is my potential fiancé....."
"And I am your future husband."
"There is nothing fixed between us."
"And with him?"
"My mother has sorted out the proposal and told me to meet him to proceed with the marriage."
"What if I send my proposal and ask her for your hand?"
"If it's an order then none of us can refuse it but if it's an offer then I know my mother is going to reject it. And not only that but the whole village will be gossiping about it and might even taunt her for some reasons. So, no, I am afraid I really have to reject your proposal, my majesty."
"So he was basically here to see if you are right for him or not and the same goes for you, right?"
"Yes, you are absolutely right, your majesty."
"So do you like him?"
"I mean, yeah.......(Fidgeting with her fingers) He seems about right......"
"So you do like him."
"I don't like him yet but I can try."
"And why not me?"
"I just told you all my reasons, yet....."
"And what if I tell you, you don't have to worry about anything like that?"
"Still....I can't go against my mother."
"Alright. Then I won't force you."
And then suddenly pulling her lightly, I leaned in and lightly pecked her forehead and then turning away, I started leaving back towards my horse with a devil like smile on my face.
I can still feel her gaze on my back while I am moving away and just then that ugly guy also came towards her and started talking to her while I was out of their sights now.
Well, it seems like she believes that I have lost my interest in her and am retreating back to never bother her again but only I know that it's not the end but the beginning of another chapter in her life in which only my name will be written.
As I reached my horse, I unhooked him and sitting on his back. I left for my castle.
After 2 days
Now that my preparations are done.........
I knocked on the wooden door and after few moments, it was opened by none other than one of my cherished chefs.
"Good morning, Mrs. Radhika."
I wished her a great morning from my side as my morning is going to be good from here onwards but it seems like I shattered her morning into million pieces and also stole her voice because her mouth is fully agap even though she doesn't show it and her eyes, stretched so much as if seen a monster in front of her. And she, unable to utter a single word, is giving me the look of 'why am I here?"
Well, what I should I start with? I think I will tell her everything but only when she allows me to say it.
