Queen of a Beast (Slow Updates)

Chapter 12

Amrita's Pov:-

"Geeta!!"

"Pakad ke dikha!!"

"Are sunn to, main baat karne aayin hoon, aur tu khel rhi ho?"

"Achaa thik h, thik h."

"Bolun?"

"Haan, bol bol, kya hua?"

"Main wo, kisi se milwana chahati thi."

"Kis se?"

"Isse mil"

I said gesturing the man behind me and he came forward with his bright smile. I introduced Raghav to Geeta and she was happily hearing about the man I am being told to marry.

Looks like they are quite okay with each other. Well, it reduces my stress though. I was afraid for nothing.

Just as we were talking and giggling, there came a little girl running towards me and as she reached me, she grabbed my skirt and started panting heavily when I soothe her back and asked her why she was running and why does she look so scared? When she said something on which, I couldn't believe my ears but still somehow, saved myself from fainting right then and there.

She said, "di, ki-the king is here, in the village and in yo-your house. He knocked on you house's door and aunty opened the door and when she saw him, she couldn't believe her eyes but she made sit inside and then told me to call you and only you to come as fast as possible."

I caressed her head even though my head is paining badly right now and after assuring her that I am coming, I left Geeta and my soon to be fiance and ran towards my house.

Why is his majesty here, in the village? And more importantly, why in my house? What have I done to him? I can't seem to understand his tricks at all. He seemed to give up the other day and now, he showed up in my house? Just what should I do now?

I can't make him angry in the first place or else I can't even imagine what he will do to my family and village so the safest thing I can do now is to go back home to check myself, exactly what the problem is.

As I reached my cottage, I saw no traces of any carriage or any ministers or anything related to his majesty which could show that the kingdom's king himself has entered the village and in a humble girl's cottage. Maybe, the girl saw it wrong and mistook someone else for his majesty. Yeah, that could be the case. There's no way he would be here, right?

Or should I thought.

When I found the way, clear, I went near the door and knocked on the wooden door, expecting maa to open but when the door opened, I shivered, seeing the person who opened the door. I blinked my eyes twice to make myself believe that what I am seeing right now is just a dream and not a real life thing but it doesn't work because there's no doubt, the person in front of me is,

"His Majesty??!!"

He looked pleasantly in good mood for some reason so he didn't even mind my quite the loud voice. Why? Why can't he leave me be? Why does he have to appear everywhere I go? Whenever I want to not think about him and focus on my mother's wishes, why does he always show up in front of me?

"Lady, you have your entire life to stare at my face, so it's my request to not stand outside of house for so long."

I blushed and suddenly found myself actually staring at his face with numerous questions in my mind and without blinking, still standing outside my house.

And just then I went to grab the doorknob to extend the gap between door and frame when someone else did it for me and completely opened the door for me and when I looked up, I saw his majesty, holding the doorknob and keep it still, for me to enter. Why is he doing so much for someone like me?

Looking down at ground, I entered my house and started searching for maa when I heard his majesty closing the door behind me.

When he found me looking for maa, he suddenly jumpscared me by walking up to straight behind my back and breathing heavily on my hair, making shiver run down to my spine and just as I was about to step forward, he held my arm and lightly pulled me to keep me still, in one place and leaned in more towards ear, still breathing heavily.

Suddenly, I started feeling something twisting in my stomach and my heart started fastly and was pounding so loudly, I was afraid whether he is listening to it in this silence filled room where only he and me seemed to exist.

I thought of looking back at him to just see what kind of expression he is making, being in somekind of trance and when I did look back, I didn't knew it could be a very bad decision.

His face was just inches apart from me and his black orbs was admiring me, continuously and his breathing was fanning over from my head to my neck area. All my hairs were standing straight by now with this kind of tension between us.

This is wrong, I shouldn't be involved in something like this with the king himself. But then, why? Why am I liking this? Why is my heart pounding so fast? Why is he making me feel like this? Why can't I remove my eyes from him? Just why?

I looked away from him and looked in front, trying to ease the tension a bit but suddenly I felt him leaning in more and snuggling his face, in my hair and then in his deep rapsy voice, he said,"My queen."

And I raised my head up to not be tempted any more than this and to breathe fresh lively air when his nose, touched my neck and I, in a second, looked back at him, only to find him, smiling faintly and still looking at me with his love filled gaze and so even I didn't care and stood still like that, staring at his pretty eyes just like my heart wants me to and I let myself completely dwell myself in the fantasy of his eyes with my curious ones when our noses were almost touching and our hearts, beating in the same rhythm. Like any music instrument and it's melody, seemed like I was lost like a melody in his instrument.

Didn't notice till when we were standing like that when suddenly a knock interrupted us and I came back to my senses, stepping back and catching my lost breath when his majesty went to open the door and when the door opened, I heard my maa's anklets sound when I was breathing, keeping my hand on my chest.

As I looked up, I found maa, looking pale and towards us when I found her holding a water filled pot in her hand. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about what his majesty came here for.

I quickly went towards maa and helped her in keeping the pot in corner of the entrance room and then stood beside her when she looked at his majesty and said,"I am extremely sorry to make you wait, my majesty, and I didn't know she would come here at this time."

And that's when I heard him saying,"Its completely okay and absolutely fine for her to be here because of course, it's her marriage we were talking about."

I looked at maa and asked,"maa, what is all this about? My marriage? You already set it up, right? Then why is his majesty here?"

And just when maa was opening her mouth with sadness filled eyes, a deep voice interfered in between and said,"Your marriage will not be with that peasant but me, the king himself and your mother and I were just discussing the perfect date for the marriage to take place when I thought why not ask the royal priest about it because I want our marriage to take place on a best day possible. What do you say?"

What do I say? What can I say? He has not left anything for me to say about it. Just how am I to be feeling about this?

God, just what kind of sin did I commit to receive a curse like this?
