The Commoner Consort: The Country’s Respected Empress - Chapter 134
“What did you do now, Sister Maya?!”.
Maya speaks with her creased eyebrows “I just went and talked few lines”.
Bhommi raises her eyebrows surprised “You talked? Well. That might have been scary but why are you sulking? You said you just talked-“.
Maya states carelessly “Then he made me angry and I stabbed him”.
Bhommi’s eyes open wide and her jaw almost dropped to the floor in shock.
As Maya’s calm tone caught Bhommi off guard and made her to cough out her throat suddenly. She asks whimpering “You did what?!”.
‘How could she even be calm after poking a Raging Lion?! I know his harshness in punishing the enemies and how is she sitting as if she didn’t do anything?! At all?!’.
Maya answers absent minded as if something else is going on her mind at this moment “I stabbed him but something is mysterious about-“.
Bhommi asks in worried filled tone “How dare you, Sister Maya! Why did you stab that Arrogant man?! He is the Most Powerful Man in these Four Realms even without his magical powers! How could you even dare to think of stabbing him?! How could you?! Even after knowing that he too has Magical Powers?!”.
Maya looks at her darkly and speaks arrogantly “He might be anyone but he offended a wrong person. Now, stop praising his arrogance and answer me something”.
Bhommi frowns at Maya’s face and mocks ‘She was blaming him for being so arrogant before and look at her! Acting so feisty and arrogant even being a Commoner! And blames A Crown Prince, The Emperor-to-be for being arrogant!’.
Maya twitches her lips displeased and asks “I can hear your mind, Bhommi. Did you forget that?”.
Bhommi clears her throat awkwardly and asks through her gritted teeth “What’s more important than this? Stabbing that man doesn’t sound less important, Sister Maya”.
Maya ignores her sarcasm and asks blankly “Why did I feel the pain when I stabbed him?”.
Bhommi “…”
Bhommi stares at Maya in disbelief ‘felt pain while stabbing him?’.
Seeing Maya nodding with a frown, Bhommi starts laughing.
HA! HAAA!
After a thought arrived in Bhommi’s mind, she starts laughing so hard as if she just witnessed the funniest scene in her imagination of Maya stabbing that man and starts crying in pain in front of him instead!
‘How embarrassing! Did she really cry there?’.
Maya grits her teeth and hisses “You know I can hear your mind! Stop humiliating me! I would never cry in front of that Thing!!”.
Bhommi smiles meaningfully “You two have identical attitude when you turn arrogant”.
Maya “..” Identical?! Two of us?! Me and that Thing?!
Bhommi asks “Don’t you call a person as ‘Thing’ when your arrogance peaks? You even refused to call that brainless soldier as man before and manipulated him to fight with you by calling him repeatedly as ‘Thing’. What’s his name? Yes! Christopher! Sister Maya, your mind is truly manipulative! Totally!”.
Maya starts thinking about Bhommi’s words ‘I turn arrogant…only when someone tries to trample over my self esteem! There is a clear difference between fighting back and initiating a fight! He started the fight!’.
Bhommi states suspiciously “I don’t know how you learned to restrict me from hearing your mind, Sister Maya”.
Maya looks at Bhommi questioningly ‘Restrict?’.
Bhommi nods “I can hear you sometimes like now. But I wonder how did you learn to restrict me! Even though you have inevitable powers, I couldn’t able to find why you have more powers than I predicted”.
Maya couldn’t help but feel happy and smiles mockingly “Perhaps I am more than an Incomplete Soul?”.
Bhommi rolls her eyes and speaks “Now the answer to your question. Before that explain me how you stabbed him”.
Maya twitches her lips ‘How did I stab him?’ and answers blankly “I had a small knife and when he threatened me I lost the control over my anger-“.
Bhommi shakes her head boringly at the sentence and asks eagerly “Tell me about the incident. While stabbing him! Where were you?! How did it happen?!”.
Maya explains Bhommi by recreating the incident and frowns seeing Bhommi’s deep thinking.
She asks “How could this happen? I have never experienced any of this before. And when I got my conscious back I left the chamber immediately”.
‘He must not have found anything suspicious…or..Did he?’.
Bhommi asks meaningfully “Did he ask you about this?”.
Maya sulks “He threatened me! He said that he would exile me for this crime!”.
Bhommi asks seriously “Didn’t he even look suspicious? Like he predicted something?”.
Maya shakes her head while thinking hard “No.. When I woke up. He started to say that he can exile from this country and Prince Xavier’s sudden arrival made me to leave silently from there. Or I wouldn’t-“.
Bhommi smirks “He knows”.
Maya snaps at Bhommi stunned “What?!”.
Bhommi smiles “He is a Prince, Sister Maya”.
Maya protests “But he didn’t look suspecting me”.
Bhommi chuckles “He is not a commoner, Sister Maya. And you have no clue about Royal people’s ability in concealing their true emotions under that stern face”.
Maya gulps and mumbles “So..you are saying that he might have suspected-“.
Bhommi sighs “He knows! There is no doubt!”.
Maya couldn’t digest this and frowns ‘I don’t think he doubted anything. The incident is quite..obviously suspiscious …but he must not have found about my powers!’.
Bhommi asks “Why don’t we tell him everything and ask his help in closing the Cold Prison?”.
Maya creases her eyebrows displeased “I don’t need him!”.
Bhommi states calmly “Even if you wish, you really can’t do it without him, Sister Maya. Stop being stubborn. It’s not just about you. It’s about this whole place and the destructive Curse!”.
Maya sighs “I will think about this. Now help me to find something about the Cold Prison from your side. I will do something”.
Bhommi speaks “We have less time, Sister Maya. Now I will take my leave”.
Maya nods seeing Bhommi’s disappearance into thin air and lets out a deep breath ‘It’s not about just me….’.
