My Royal Highness

A beautiful Site!!

"Father, are they going to release us from this pain?" Devi asked.

"Soon, my daughter, soon, you'll be realised!" Maharaja replied holding his daughter's palm.

"Only me? I want both of us!" Devi replied.

"I don't think that's possible anymore, look, your ride is here!" Saying this he pushed devi into a ditch.

"Ahhh!" She got up shouting and found herself on the bed, a maid came running after listening to her pitch and bowed.

"Are you alright, my grace?" The maid asked.

"Ahh!" She winced in pain as she brought up her hand to deny, and said,"I'm fine, don't worry!" That's, when she heard, a loud music.

The maid bowed and left, murmuring under her breath.

Devi got up from the bed, and balanced herself first, her head was spinning, and it was very heavy. Still, she managed, to go out and follow the music.

The music came from the king's court. She looked into the court from afar, Marco was seated on the throne, looking around. When a beautiful lady approached, she was the same lady from the morning, they both got up and mixed in the dancing crowd.

Devi felt a ping of pain in her heart, she thought,"Inhumane, it doesn't even matter, if I exist or I die!" devi left the area.

An idea popped to her head, "this is a suitable time, I can visit my dear father!" She thought and started pacing the hall.

Unfortunately, she bumped into the queen.

"Ahh, I see, you're still alive!" The queen glanced at her arm.

"Yes, unfortunately!" Devi replied and tried to walk past her.

"In a hurry, to meet your father?" The queen asked.

"None of your business!" Devi replied.

"You still have this in your voice?" The queen mocked.

"What do you want from me?" Devi asked turning around.

"Ahh! What can I expect from you?" The queen mocked again,"Go, go ahead! I won't keep you anymore!"

"How considerate!" Devi replied sarcastically and left.

"Only, if you know the consequences!" The queen smiled.

Devi reached the medical house, two tall man approached and bowed and said politely,"Your grace, you're not allowed!"

"Who took that right from me? Let me in!" Devi shouted.

"Please, don't force us to use other ways!" The guards warned.

"Are you warning me?" Devi asked.

"Yes!" They replied sternly.

"Fine, let's see, what you'll do!" Devi tried to get in but they, both pushed her hand, she fell down and hit her elbow, blood oozed from her wound,"ow!" she winced.

"We told you!" The guard said and went back to his position.

Devi got up and walked away, holding her elbow, tears flowing down her cheeks.

She went to her room and sat by the window, looking at the moon,"Why? why me? What kind of punishment is this? Am I getting the punishments for your mistake mother?" She asked the moon.

She sat by the window sill, supporting her head on the side, and looking at the moon. She felt peace, she sighed.

When the door burst opened and Marco entered.

"Who gave you permission, to leave this room?" He asked looking at the bed. It was dark, he can't makeout where devi is.

Devi fell into a slumber, near the window, listening to the shout, she shuffled a little. A normal person, would've already woke up from such intensity of noise, but the hard medications, prevented her from waking up.

Not getting an answer, he lighted the candles, using a lighter and then, his eyes fell on Devi, who was sitting near the window.

His anger subsided gradually.

He went near her, seeing her sleeping peacefully, he felt at ease, something stirred inside him.

He thought, the time had stopped and he kept staring at the most beautiful sight infront of him. Then, his eyes fell on, the bandages all over her body, a sharp pain hit his chest.

He picked her from that place, and placed her carefully on the bed, as if placing a very expensive thing on a place. He sat near her and caressed her face.

That's, when devi, stirred in her sleep, opened her eyes, babbled something and turned around.

His eyes, fell on the wounds on her back. He called a maid and asked her to help, Devi change her clothes. She did and then Marco ordered her to bring some crushed herbs for the wound.

She bowed and came with the asked ingredients, handed them to the king, bowed again and left.

For the first time, he showed her with a silk nightgown, from his homeland, her full breasts, pale white skin, long hair, beautiful eyes and pink lips, made her look like a potrait.

At that moment, she was the most beautiful girl in the world. He applied the medication on her wound, that's when he noticed another, wound on her elbow.

He closed his eyes and thought,"Oh! This lady always likes, to piss me off!" He thought.

He was about to get up, when devi, pulled him towards her and accidentally, his lips were on hers. Time stopped.

He held her more tightly and kissed her dearly, but then she again turned around and as if in a dream, started complaining,"You brat, you didn't even, came to see, if am still, alive, you don't let me meet my father, and say I'm your wife, you always cause me pain....." then she babbled something in some incoherent words and all of a sudden started crying.

"Hey! Shhhh.. it's fine, nothing's gonna happen, ssshhhh.. I won't hurt you!" Marco replied patting her back.

"Ummm.. hmmmm!" She stopped crying as if convinced and fell back into a sleep.

"Ahh.. finally! Was I mad? I won't disturb her anymore! I'm not disturbing, she's disturbing! No no... how can she disturb me? Hey man! Stop irritating yourself, just go and settle on the couch! No but why would, I settle on the couch, I'll also sleep on the bed! Tomorrow, I'll talk to this girl!" He sighed ran his hand through his hair and fell, asleep.

"My queen!" A maid bowed.

"listening!" Queen replied.

"I think, they're cookin up something!" Melina replied.

"hmm? What something?" The queen asked chewing a grape.

"I don't know exactly, what but..."

"Come here, when you have information!" The queen cut Melina short.

"I've other informations, that'll interest you!" Melina smirked.

"Ohh! Are you sure?" The queen sighed.

"Yes, My queen!" She replied.

"You may leave!" The queen ordered and thought,"I won't let you change my son, devi, you don't know, how many dead bodies, I climbed to reach here!" The queen thought.
