The Commoner Consort: The Country’s Respected Empress - Chapter 178
Kalki enters the camp with a face which had some emotion but a pinch of surprise could only be seen. He stops in his track once he looked at the tiny image which was standing beside a stool.
The one and only thing keeps her habit of shocking him. He never once felt a shock or surprise as he always knows things ahead of everyone here. But the thing before him made his huge mountain of ego to start to shake.
“Why are you here?”.
He looks at her clenching her teeth, her hands were fisted perhaps trying to hide her anger or fear? Because both could cause a person to tremble. She looked like she was having both of them. He knows that she always gets frightened by just seeing him but he is amused by the anger surging in her eyes!
‘How can those eyes emits so much anger when she is still frightened by my presence?’
He smirks and continues with a mocking tone “It’s more of..how are you here?”. He also notices her clothes which were simple. With those clothes, she must be inside the Palace. His servants wouldn’t dare to let her leave the Palace in those clothes.
Maya frowns and looks away. She finally utters in a voice which almost sounded like a tiny mouse “I really don’t know. I am confused too”.
He looks out and sighs “You better explain. Don’t try to fool me and my impatience could cost you anything at this moment”.
‘I have never spoken so much! This woman keeps on appearing in front of me and demands my words!’.
Maya was visibly fuming and declares closing her eyes “Bhoomi! Explain me how am I here!”.
Kalki “…” Did she just ignore me?!
Kalki had no time to speaks as Bhommi instantly appeared in front of them.
“It’s your wish, Sister Maya. Have you forgotten?”.
Maya snaps at her irritated “What?!”.
Kalki “…” Her wish? So she followed me here on her own wish?
Maya notices Kalki’s eyes on her and gulps understanding what he misunderstood ‘Did he think I purposely come here?’.
She helplessly manages to stare at Bhoomi and hisses in her mind so that Kalki can’t hear them ‘What are you spouting, girl?! I didn’t wish anything?!’.
What if she asked that loud and this Fairy of doll blurts out something embarrassing?! But she doesn’t know that was not at all helping!
She begs in her eyes to get her out from this situation. He is throwing a murderous look over her.
Bhommi smiles too sweetly and speaks “Sister Maya! You were the one who wished that he might die by his enemies hands!”.
Silence!
Deadly silence actually!
It took few moments for Maya to even process that. She never would have thought that Bhommi will openly state this and plan to murder her in this man’s hands!
“What?!”
That was all she said without even dared to look at the other person in the camp.
‘This girl will provoke him to kill me today! Wait! What a waste to ask her through my mind! She can’t reply through her mind! How stupid could I be!’
Bhommi giggles “Glad you realized it now”.
Maya really wanted to ignore him but it was too late and vain. As she felt the camp getting cold gradually and shivers pulling her robes on her together for comfort.
She manages to speak “What are you talking about? I didn’t do such thing!”.
She never would have thought she could hate someone so much until Bhommi opened her beautiful mouth again.
She exclaims “You did! You asked a wish by mistake that he should get killed by his enemies. But after I fulfilled your wish you felt bad for cursing him by mistake and also provided a cure!”.
‘I wish he would die’
Her own words rang in her ears as she remembered what this is all about!
‘Haa! Now I remember!’
Bhommi nods hearing her mind “You managed to twist the curse by adding that whenever he is about to be killed by his enemies you would be there for him to save him!”.
Maya only gets surprised “Oh?”.
She didn’t find that so important so she couldn’t remeber it completely. She vaguely remembered that-
‘Wait! Wasn’t it that day when I met him for the first time after he came back from the war?! Now I remember! He simply threatened me with a knife on my neck! ‘.
While the ladies were deeply talking and gesturing to themselves, the man in the camp could only frown ‘She thought that she could save me?! Honestly?! I have been battling for almost a decade now! Did she come all the way here to pretend as if she wants to help?’.
“If you have finished your drama, leave before I regret killing you uselessly”.
He leaves the camp as he has no time to entertain the fools in front of them. He has a battle waiting for him to win and some battalions of soldiers anticipating their deaths by his sword!
Bhommi giggles seeing him left “He thinks he will only loose his powers if you die. But the truth is he too will die if-“.
Maya shouted “What?”.
At this point Maya stopped getting simply stunned. As she never would have even dreamed any of this would happen. She is beyond flabbergasted now.
At first, she couldn’t accept the fact that Kalki was the other half of her soul. She finally digested it as if gulping a bitter medicine. Then, she got to know that he will lose his powers if she dies. Great! She didn’t even accept that truth, now this revelation made her to wince mentally.
Bhommi squeals in ecstasy “Yes!”.
She adds further “Both are surviving till now with that incomplete soul just because there is another one living for each other. If one dies the balance will be lost and other half will leave its body to complete the other”.
Maya felt like drowning under ocean of water. No matter how hard she tried she felt something grabbing her under the water not giving her a single hope to escape!
‘See? I badly wanted Water to be My Power Element. Now that too become a crushed wish!’
