The Commoner Consort: The Country’s Respected Empress - Chapter 168
Maya ignores Bhommi’s timid smile and points at him in horror “You! Stop there!”.
As she doesn’t care if he is a Crown Prince or he intimidates her, she doesn’t want him to kill her. She doesn’t care as her life is in danger now! She knows she shouldn’t believe the man in front of her at any cost!
Bhommi too feels weird and asks slowly looking at Kalki expectantly “Can you simply talk, Y-Your Highness?”.
She can’t see Maya’s scared face anymore. She knows he is cold but doesn’t want to scare Maya anymore.
Kalki steps ahead further and declares “I don’t intend to waste any time”.
Maya asks feeling her back about to be hitting the chamber’s wall “What? What are you trying to do?”.
Kalki speaks in disdain “Demonstrating how easy it is to find that Power Element of yours”.
Even though she knew what was in that barrel she asks again in worry or trying to remind him that he was insane “What’s in that?”.
‘How can he find my Power Element with oil and candle?! Is he trying to kill me taking this as an excuse?!’.
Kalki shrugs lifting the barrel further and says “Oil”.
Maya finally screams in rage “Are you trying to kill me?!”.
She couldn’t believe after all her struggles in this country, he still wants her to die! He didn’t even pitied and cold enoughto be ungrateful!
‘I helped him saving his Brother’s life for heaven’s sake! Why is he after my life yet?!’.
He shakes his head irked “Is everything really that Oblivious to you? Now you can’t even see things!”.
She steps aside escaping him and runs around the chamber pointing at him desperately “Stay away!”.
Kalki for the first time really enjoys doing this and scoffs “How about forming an alliance? You will remain here as My Puppet Queen and obey my every orders till I end this wars. Then I will close the Prison doors myself-“.
Maya screams standing at the very opposite end of the wooden table “No! I will not obey any of your orders and I won’t be your Queen!!”.
She makes sure to keep a large distance between them so that he doesn’t appraoch her easily.
He smirks coldly “Then you will never find Your Power Element. And you will not able to know anything about the Cold Prison”.
Maya goes speechless “….”.
She looks at him scared and helpless as she is stuck in this situation.
THUD!
She still rebukes “I don’t need your help-“.
He keeps the barrel on the table with heavy thud and wonders amusingly “Do you really think you were acting on your own in My country?”.
He never liked talking this way and to be more precisely he never saw anyone speaking against him! He couldn’t help being playful. But the truth is it’s dreadfully playful for Maya.
Maya grits her teeth and hisses “Yes! No matter how much you plan! I will not make you exile or punish me! You can’t make the people against me like you did before to send me away from here-!”.
He glares at her in the dead eye and speaks “I know you don’t have any smartness but never thought you literally would be brainless”.
Maya gasps at his harshness and her chest heaves in rage ‘How dare he!’.
Using her distracted mind, he thrashes the oil all over her still from the opposite end.
Maya was unaware of his swift movements and was caught off guard.
It took few moments for Maya to realize his actions and opens her closed eyes.
Maya felt her whole body drenched in sticky oil in next moment and stares him back in complete disbelief!
‘The nerve of this man-‘.
Without a next word, he throws the burning candle over her nonchalantly.
AH!!
Maya screams in horror as she was not given enough time to think!
Bhommi gasps in horror “Sister Maya!”.
She never thought Kalki would really burn her alive!
Before she could use her magic to save Maya, she stops as she doesn’t even see any fire on Maya. Not even a smoke!
The candle fell over Maya’s clothes still is burning. But Maya’s oil drenched clothes never caught the fire!
Bhommi flinches hearing Maya’s screams and gets sad. She feels guilty for believing this man now. She should have heard Maya and kept him away from them.
Kalki twitches his lips hearing Maya’s dreadful screams and speaks “Stupid people don’t die easily”.
Maya opens her eyes ‘How am I alive to hear his words?! And why is it not hurting me-‘ and finds herself normal. She is safe without any hurt or scratch. To her surprise, there was no fire! Nothing was burning! She is alright! Only her clothes are clingingto her body and pulling her down to the ground with all its weight!
She could only whimper exhausted and takes a step aside dizzily “What? How?’.
“Fire”.
That was all Kalki said after trying to kill her.
Bhommi was the one first to react out from her daze “Huh?”.
Kalki stares at Maya mysteriously and only speaks “Your Power Element”.
Nothing more.
Maya who was overwhelmed by his audacity only gulps. She doesn’t dare to look into his eyes and expose her tears in front of this man.
Bhommi gasps walking beside Maya “How could this…so yours is Water?!”.
He smirks arrogantly as her reply.
Maya knows he would be smirking and wants to scratch his face to get rid of that smirk.
She feels so vulnerable and weak at this moment and not even glad that she found her Power Element! She couldn’t even be happy about this. As something else bothered her now.
Even in her pathetic state her self-conceited mind whined in resentment ‘I wanted mine to be water!’.
Suddenly she felt herself disheartened and her tears threatened her eyes to escape ‘I can’t control anything now! Not even my tears!’.
Bhommi holds Maya’s shoulder and speaks hearing her sad mind “Everything has purpose, Sister Maya”.
