Twists Twirls Perils & Pearls

77. Time doesn't help in healing

"Wow!! Look at your gutts! You just rejected my brother because you had other plans. He praised you for his rejection, but he couldn't figure out what a cunning bitch you are. I know your kind. Trying hard to get, to maintain your exclusivity. I am not very proud of it, but royals have many flings. They have a history of keeping many women... as you know... their 'mistress'. Trust me you will remain just that for the prince." Mayuri was fuming with anger.

"Princess Mayuri, Swarnbhoomi is known for love. No king or queen have married more than once or have kept any 'mistresses or paramour or what is now called manstress' . And thank you for your concern. I am honoured her highness spared a thought for me." Swarnima deserved an applause for dealing with the unruly Princess.

"You...just wait and watch." Mayuri stomped her foot and went out.

Swarnima rubbed her temples and smiled. She had dealt with such accusations several times. With that beautiful smile of her, she served lunch and Abhedya pulled out a chair for both the ladies. Mayuri kept flirting with Abhedya to show her upper hand. She didn't receive the response she was seeking but she refused to give up. Abhedya will be a hot property soon and she wanted to buy it before it's launched.

Mayuri dropped a spoon of curd on her dress and asked Abhedya to show his restroom.
After a few minutes Mayuri came out of Abhedya's room wearing one of Abhedya's shirt... only his shirt. His shirt didn't even reach her mid thigh and revealed a major chunk of her long, slim and slender legs.
To Swarnima's astonishment Abhedya didn't even spare a glance at her.

"Nim, please lend a bottom wear of your's to Mayuri. I hope your size fits her." Abhedya requested Swarnima.

"Abhedya, what did we learn just an hour ago? Royals don't share their clothing. They donate it to people of lower ranks. My dress in your room ranges somewhere around 30000. Swarnima, you may keep it after cleaning. Besides, I think I look hot in this shirt... your shirt. What do you think?" Mayuri said flaunting her legs.

"Mayuri, that is a very rude statement. By the way, do you know how much is Swarnima's net asset worth? Well,  it's a little above the combined assets of Karnajeet and you. Raonagar's financial status is not hidden from the world. Her father who passed away years before gifted me a Lamborghini on my 21st birthday. So, if she wants she can buy any number those dresses which you want to donate her." Abhedya had, had enough of the fake princess attitude from Mayuri.

"You are a magician Swarnima. You cast spell on all men around you. My brother, Abhedya, and don't know many are there in your kitty." Mayuri lost control on her tongue.

"Mayuri... just shut up! You are our guest therefore I am tolerating you and your comments since yesterday. Not a word more now. To maintain peace please leave this house and your exclusive services are no longer required. Thank you. Your arrangements to leave shall be done." Abhedya said in finality.

Mayuri came close to Abhedya and pulled his collar but before she could do anything further the fierce protector Abhedya had, caught her hand and jerked her away.
"I warned you Princess Mayuri, no one comes close to my king. Any act further will be termed as an act of violence and immediate action shall be taken." Swarnima's tone was one Abhedya never heard before. He felt like a trophy.

Mayuri started to cry out loud. Abhedya and Swarnima stuffed finger in their ears. "Adah part two" Abhedya and Swarnima said at the same time and shared a small laugh.

Mayuri's guards came inside and saw their princess crying. "Guards charge on this girl.. she attacked me."

"This is going to be so much fun." Swarnima pushed Abhedya behind and in five different punches Mayuri's five guards were on floor.
Mayuri's eyes bulged out. Abhedya knew Swarnima was capable but guards double her size were on floor within minutes. He was trained with same skills and techniques then how come she did it so effortlessly?
"Just practice." Swarnima answered Abhedya's unasked question.
