Not a Slave!!!

Chapter 8

*Bhairavi Pov*

I just sat on the sand and continued to take some fresh air before I get thrown inside the hut. Few moments back, I thought that I would be staying at the same place for some time.

But Alastair sent me to freshen up at a place restricted to the woman with Jacey to see that I do not run away even when she opposed to do the duty.

"I have so many duties to do for today, so it would be marvelous if you finish soon." I heard her voice far away from where she is standing as that will be the only way possible for my run away as on this side I am having only water.

"What are your duties as a Princess in this Kingdom?" I questioned her standing up as I already finished the bath.

"I need to see whether the cooks are doing their duties in a right way or not." She replied and I nodded to myself because that is a good duty.

"And?" I stressed her to tell me more.

"And that's all as after that I need to meet my acquaintances." She replied, making a frown appear on my face.

"You need to try and change the backward thoughts of your people." I mumbled stepping near her.

"Should I learn my duties from a fake Princess now?" She questioned smirking before walking away.

"Just so you know that Alastair will be mine and you will be gone from here soon or will be thrown into wildlife." She added without a second glance at me.

With a shake of my head, I turned away from the hut where I need to go in and glanced around to see what did the outsiders actually achieved by living here with no support from council.

"What are you doing?" I glanced around to see Alastair walking near me with a frown.

"Getting to know the place where I have to lead my life for some time." I replied before turning away to continue the journey.

Before I could take a step, I got pulled back with a force and glanced up to see him glaring at me while holding my neck with his hand.

"You do not get to know anything from here. We all do not be kind to the spies in any way so if you are the Council's spy then tell us about it right now." He screamed while I attempted to remove his hands.

"What is there here to inform the Council? Shall I inform them that you all are leading a very ecstatic life? Or shall I inform them that you all have a treasure hidden in your land?" I questioned him while he tugged me closer to him.

"Why did you take the life of him?" He questioned in a serious tone.

"To avenge my parents death." I replied in the same tone.

"Who are you?" He questioned again.

"I am Bhairavi and these replies will not change if you question me even in my sleep." I replied staring into his eyes.

"If I release you now, where will you go?" he continued with his questions.

"I will go to Council and tell them the secret about the treasures you have under your huts." I replied with a shrug.

He suddenly chuckled dropping his head on my shoulder making me stop my breath for a second and adjust to his closeness. I glanced around and saw few people staring at us while he continued to chuckle.

"You are very humorous." He mumbled but didn't take his head away.

"I am not." I mumbled back moving, hoping he steps away from me as I need to breath in a normal way, but he enclosed me into his tight hug in the next second.
