Aditya's POV
It was lunchtime the next day. Everyone, from my family was present. My cousins and elders. The lunch was being served. But everyone was waiting for my bride. My cousin Ratan Sa was teasing me about the night. Of course everyone assumef that we both had consummated our marriage. No one knew the reality.
We all heard the chiming voice. It was because of her anklet. She took seat next to my sister. Everyone smiled at her. She didn't look that bad that day. Her sense of clothing suited her.
Our eyes met and she nodded at me. We started eating our lunch. Usually ladies are not supposed to get involved in the male members' talk. However when it came to the topic of arms and ammunitions, she couldn't stand being quiet like other ladies and started giving her advice. She seemed to be frustrated with our Minister. Apparently it seemed to her that his ideas were backdated. Every lady had stood up after the lunch but she stayed seated and argued about our war strategy. I wondered what she was. Her ideas seemed unconventional but they made some sense.
My aunt and other ladies were looking at her with disbelief . They expected her to sit with them and engaged into womenly talks. My aunt even made a face looking in eye to eye with her but she ignored her with a smile. And during the whole time she constantly chatted with my father who seemed to be already impressed by her. She didn't even look at me eye to eye. It made my ego hurt.I once caught her looking at me but she looked away.And unlike other women, she didn't bother to wear her veil. She looked feisty unlike other submissive girls. I felt like I had to know her. But she had blown my ego. First she stepped out of my room last night and now she wouldn't give me any attention as if my opinions weren't important or she didn't care to explain me her ideas.
As soon as the lunch was finished, father asked all the ministers to assemble into his room quickly. I assumed that maybe he wanted to plan a battle. Naintara stood up and started going towards her room when suddenly my father called her name and asked her to be present as well. She smiled at my father and nodded. And unlike other ladies, she didn't bowed to me or any male member or ask her leave while walking out.
