The Commoner Consort: The Country’s Respected Empress - Chapter 118
Bhommi holds Maya protectively and whispers “Someone is approaching! I-It’s indeed Eros!”.
Maya who was muffling her screams speaks gulping “L-Let’s leave…far from this place”. She looks at her leg still turning into rock and sighs defeated holding the stabbed sword in her thigh.
Bhommi lifts Maya effortlessly from the ground and flies away.
Maya just observes the dense forest beneath her and frowns seeing a man riding Eros. The way he rode the horse attracted Maya’s eyes.
Her heart skips a bit at a thought “Is it….Him?”.
She suddenly felt like seeing Him for a last time if she is going to die. The urge raises in her heart more and more each moment she saw the man on the ground.
Her face held a subtle smile with warmness blooming in her body.
‘He even swore to protect me!’.
She blinks away her tears in anticipation of looking at the man on the horse. As soon as the man hopped down from Eros, Maya’s heart clenched in disappointment. Because she knew.
“He is not Xavier…”.
It almost sounded like a declaration or a death sentence from her mouth.
A storm of memories comes rushing in her mind making her go breathless for few moments. The overwhelming emotions were threatening her now.
It felt like fate has slapped her face with death instead of letting her to see Xavier for last time before her death.
Bhommi sighs “The Good hearted Prince is in The Southern Country now, Sister Maya. He is fighting a battle there…”.
Maya closes her eyes not wishing to see anything and sighs ‘Will he feel sad if he sees me as a rock? Will he recognize me after I turn into a rock? Will he c-cry? Would he mourn for my death?’.
Bhommi makes Maya lay down on the place near a waterfall where Sarah asked Maya to go.
Maya is lost in her thoughts while she stared blankly in front of her.
‘Would my life end without accomplishing anything? How about the Cold Prison? How could I close it now?’.
She remembers The Empress’s face and smiles bitterly “Everything would turn into a daydream now…I will not have any future now ..as The Empress…”.
She had her eyes closed until she opened it suddenly recalling the incident of The Empress being stabbed from behind!
She stares at her stabbed thigh and shakes her head weakly. Gradually her eyes were filled with complete determination ‘I cannot die. Not before closing the Cold prison…’.
Maya waves at Bhoomi weakly “Take me..to the Cold Prison..”.
Bhommi kneels in front of Maya and shakes her head “How can you, Sister Maya?! I don’t know anything about the past and I can’t create The Forbidden Magic Spell yet.. I beg your forgiveness…..I am such a-“.
Maya whimpers while sitting straight “I can disappoint anyone. But not me! I have to do something before I die in vain-“.
Bhommi cries hugging Maya “Please stop speaking about your death!”.
Maya smiles in spite of her own grievances “I promised myself. I can let down anyone but myself! Let me die for a purpose”.
Bhommi stares at Maya emotionally ‘Indeed…you deserve to be a Goddess, Sister Maya..You are dying here and you still think of closing the Cold Prison? I never ever have seen a selfless person in my life…’.
Maya blinks “Selfless?”.
Bhommi forgot that Maya could hear her mind.
The word dug back a buried feeling of guilt in Maya’s heart.
Bhommi was about to hold Maya to lift her up from the ground but stops in midway.
Maya who was staring at her ugly injury twitches her lips.
‘I will die after all. I should not worry about its healing time now. As long as I find a way to lock the Cold Prison forever..I will not regret dying very soon..’.
She smirks ‘My life might be short…But it would have some purpose..I should be grateful for The Crown Prince. .without him I would never have visited this place-‘.
Maya remembers something suddenly and gasps looking at Bhommi in horror “The Crown Prince! What if he…he goes near that Cursed water?!”.
‘My Goodness! What if he touches the water?! He might turn into a stone!’.
The sudden thought made Maya to get anxious even more at the moment.
She frowns seeing Bhommi not moving from the place and asks with her dry throat “We should save him!”.
Seeing Bhommi’s serious frown, Maya asks earnestly “What happened to you?”.
Without answering Maya, Bhommi flies towards the place where Kalki was standing. She stays far higher from the ground above Kalki.
Maya notices Kalki forwarding his hand into the Cursed water.
She immediately jerks to scream but Bhommi closes her mouth hurriedly.
‘No! He might turn into a rock too! This country would lose its Crown Prince forever!!’.
Maya could only struggle in Bhommi’s grip as she was controlled by Bhommi’s mysterious spell.
She eyes Kalki pitifully and clutches her fist helplessly.
But she instantly freezes seeing everything happening in front of her eyes. Her wide opened eyes remains stoned seeing him noticing everything calmly…
‘Impossible! Heavens! Is this man even a human?! Does he fear anything? But…How did the man turn into a human again?!’.
Bhommi sucks in a sharp breath before looking down at Maya seriously. Her eyes travelled from Maya’s face to her body.
Maya too looks on her body and opens her eyes wide in astonishment.
“How could this be possible?!’.
Bhommi flies away from the place and gasps “He has arrived! The Other one! The Other Half of your Soul!”.
Maya darts her glossy eyes blankly ‘He….How could he?! Did he get to know about us?! ..Heavens! He too has Magical Powers?!’.
This reality dawned at her more than the fear of his death previously.
‘No wonder…He is so arrogant…’.
Bhommi smiles earnestly and gasps “Sister Maya….We finally know who he is!”.
Maya tilts her head and only looks at Bhommi’s face now filled with some amus.e.m.e.nt and overwhelming happiness!
Bhommi mumbles “He is …powerful…v-very powerful! He is fearless too!”.
