The Commoner Consort: The Country’s Respected Empress - Chapter 126
GASP!
Maya is surprised at the voice as it is of a child!
‘Ah! Even a child is capable of questioning in this country?!’.
The Royal people looks back at child equally worried and astonished. As if they are scared for that child. If he really asks any wrong question to Maya, they don’t know what she will do. Because the rules of their nation don’t differ to anyone! They have seen how manipulative and witty she was! Would she be kind enough to forgive this child even if he asks anything wrong?
They are equally astonished that what made the child to ask the question. Even though that was naive while he curiously asked about how she looks, they couldn’t help but sigh in worry.
The mother of the child who is carrying her son kneels down in fear immediately and begs “Please forgive my son’s ignorance, Your Majesty! He is just a child! He doesn’t know anything”.
Maya smiles amused “But he didn’t sound so” and she couldn’t take her eyes off the child. Even though she always finds the children troublesome, she couldn’t show that now. After all, she is playing a role of A Queen- The Mother of the Northern Realm!
She speaks forwarding her hand towards the child gesturing him to walk ahead “Why do you think I am different, dear?”.
The child darts his eyes scared while trotting towards Maya. Seeing his mother crying behind him, he starts to cry.
WUU!
Maya looks at the woman with passive sternness in her tone “Do you really need to portray me as a bad person, Lady?”.
The woman shakes her head and stands with a bow suppressing her shivers “No, Your Majesty! I wouldn’t! Even if I die!”.
Maya looks at the child and assures “You don’t have to fear, dear. Do you think I am a bad person?”.
The child reminded her of one of the children of the woman who died by the brutal punishment in her Pavilion weeks ago!
May be she is still unable to recognize the difference between the faces of children as she didn’t saw them much in this country. Everyone looked the same! But they do not really…
The child hesitantly looks back at his mother who was smiling back with assurance. After he gained his trust on Maya from his mother, he looks at Maya with glossy eyes.
Maya raises her eyebrows as if she is expecting him to speak.
He swallows cutely as if preparing himself to speak and asks shyly “This cloth is different…Can I ask you some other cloth like this? I heard my mother saying it was beautiful ..”.
[AWWWWW.. Babies are the best! I wonder when I will stop adding babies content in my every stories!!]
GASP!
WHISPERS!
The boy already walked to Maya as if he was not at all talking to any stranger and definitely not to his Queen!
The child was already grabbing Maya’s saree and looks back at his mother proudly “Mother!”.
As if he fulfilled his mother’s secret wish!
The woman stood there shocked as if she was stricken by lightening. She wouldn’t have ever imagined of this whole scene even in her dreams! He sold her secrets out! It was just a comment that she did when she saw Maya entering the court in the saree. She never ever thought that her child would embarrass her in front of the whole country! Literally!
The lady was about to grab the child harshly but Maya stops her. The child darts his eyes confused due to his mother’s sudden anger. He moves towards Maya subconsciously as she is the one saving him from his angry mother at this moment!
Maya asks hiding her grin “Do I look different because of this cloth?”.
The child nods his head and stares back at Maya eagerly. He has no idea what he was doing and he just looks everything in his own way!
She asks teasingly “Do you want me to change into a gown to look like your mother?”.
The child shakes his head hurriedly “You are beautiful already!”.
He runs back to his mother shyly as soon as he uttered those words. As if he felt shy saying that to Maya. His face turned pink in blush already!
Maya could only get surprised how could this child make her blush in the process! But thank Heavens that her blush can’t be seen due to her dusky skin!
LAUGHS!
Everyone starts laughing witnessing the scene.
The serious situation suddenly turned completely opposite. Not to mention the child’s sweetness totally made everyone to melt.
Kalki’s eyes shone something mysterious.
Xavier fell in even more love at the sight of Maya’s skills. He couldn’t help feel jealous that how she turned this serious situation into an opposite one without any efforts!
He recalls the announcement which Kalki prepared and looks at Maya warmly.
‘I never thought you would survive without Xander’s help! You have your own way to steal everyone’s heart, My Lady!’.
No one remembered that they have come to witness Maya’s humiliation. Instead they wish to see her more often.
The court was dismissed after everyone of Royal suggested to not seize Maya’s Madam title. How can they even suggest otherwise even if they wished to?! After her performance in the court, no one would dare to say anything against her!
—–
After the Court was dismissed, Sarah and Maya are walking towards Maya’s chamber.
Maya who was in deep thoughts asks slowly “Did they really not get your message?”.
Sarah sucks in sharp breath ‘Does she still remember what I said earlier?!’ and shakes her head “I assumed that they didn’t have got it”.
Maya stops walking and declares looking at her “You assumed”.
‘Bhommi was right… We can’t really believe every story we hear..Sometimes people’s assumptions too will be in that story…I have to find a way to know everything about the Cold Prison’.
Sarah speaks noticing Maya’s in deep thoughts “If they did get the message, they wouldn’t have punished us, would they?”.
