The Commoner Consort: The Country’s Respected Empress - Chapter 190
Kalki had few reasons behind his patience throughout the troubled situations caused by her. He also had a reason behind his every moves till now. For instance, why he saved her.
What if she dies and he loses his power? More than that what if she dies and he again needs to search for a wife? It has been too easy for him as Maya was just a commoner without any problems. Even though she still stirred many problems for him, it is much lesser than some Princess! And moreover her trouble ended in a fruitful way for him till now. The conspiracy made people to pity her, her saving two people from penalty was hugely appreciated and finally she saved him.
What if he brought a Princess from other country? At first, he should have answered the questions from her Realm regarding that conspiracy against her on the first day.
No one from any Royal family would have let go of that incident where an Imperial Court Official looking down on their Princess!
Not to mention his arrogance towards accepting her. No Princess would bear how he threatens her! But still he could only impressed by Maya as he never expected even this strong mental tolerance from a commoner. She actually survived in his country as his wife!
Even fought a war for him. And saved him.
Maya creases her eyebrows in her own thoughts. She hates that man with no end!
‘The nerve of this man! How dare he still threatens me! I should have let him die there! *frowns* But I could have died because of his death! *grunts holding her head* This whole Incomplete Soul situation makes me go mad!’.
In few minutes, Maya sneaks out of the chamber as she needs to think about everything peacefully. The only place she could think of is the view of the water from the cliff. Even though she slipped from there in the past, her heart craves to see the scenery again.
And yet she met Xavier that day anyway! That doesn’t count as unfortunate encounter then!
After walking for a long time, she gets flabbergasted to find a bridge that has been built around the huge rock . Even though it was built temporarily with some wood, she feels too touched.
‘Who did this? Are the soldiers from my Pavilion this kind?!’
Suddenly she starts feeling happy for being a Queen! She walks on the bridge caressing the railing in a daze.
“Maya”
Her heart starts beating fast and she gets nervous for no reason. She knows who was it!
She has seen and talked to him numerous times but never felt this restless.
She turns to see him but is instantly embraced by his strong body even before realizing.
Maya’s mind and heart are in chaos. She was holding her breath for so long that made her to heave more. But his tight hold made her to struggle helplessly.
“P-Prince Xavier?”
Xavier tightens his hold and whispers “Stay still”.
Maya obeys his words completely.
Maya is oddly loving this feeling as she never ever have hugged any man in her life. Even though she wanted to push him away for this strange intimate action, she just couldn’t do it.
Her heart is literally making her mind to get lost till this happiness retains for few moments. She doesn’t know why this is happening but she doesn’t want to end it by herself.
After a long time Xavier felt being in good health this morning.
The doctors literally locked him inside the sick chamber a week before after his attempt to go out. Something happened when he was out in the garden strangely making him sick again. No one was allowed to meet him too.
He was at peace when he was cured as he can finally go out to meet Maya in the Palace.
But his peace heart was shattered by the news that Maya went missing before two weeks suddenly and later informed that she was accompanying Kalki in the war.
He never ever punished any of his servants till today personally but this news made all of his personal servants to be punished for not informing such news to him earlier!
They were still getting whip lashes when he left the Palace. All he wanted to do is drag Maya into his arms and scold her for even daring to enter this war.
But his whole anger disappeared instantly after seeing an exhausted weak girl standing in front of him who is breathtakingly beautiful. He visited the Pavilion first and well aware of her illness due to exhaustion. He really wanted to scold her to no end for her carelessness on her own health!
But she looked too fragile and weak which made his anger completely turned towards himself.
He was the reason for her state. If not for his carelessness, he wouldn’t have gotten injured and she wouldn’t have gone to the war in his absence.
He feels Maya’s hand tugging his sleeve in his embrace and releases her finally from his iron grip.
Maya finally gasps for her breaths and avoids meeting his eyes. She couldn’t do it for some reason.
Xavier smiles before asking “Why are you here?”.
Maya mutters meekly “I-I was …”.
‘This man! Is he teasing me?! I can’t even think properly!’
Xavier grabs Maya’s palm ignoring her fl.u.s.tered state and leads her towards the cliff.
Maya could only follow him while she feels her heartbeat sounds echoing in her ears.
Both see the clear view of the scenery in front of them. Both of them are so nervous and anxious at this point.
Xavier wants to tell her everything in his heart while Maya is eager to be with him. Even though it made her so nervous that made her happy too.
‘Did he come to meet me?! Wasn’t he sick?!’
Remembering his health, Maya asks “How is your health?”. She only gets baffled seeing his eyes on her already.
Xavier who is already looking at her smiles satisfied “I thought you would never ask”.
She purses her lips and looks his left arm sneakily trying to check his arm injury.
‘How to remove his robe without knowing- *blinks confused* remove? That sounds weird..No..lift the sleeve..? No..How to check his- *frowns frustrated* why do I feel uncomfortable in forming the appropriate words? Everything sounds weird. Am I weird?’
