The Commoner Consort: The Country’s Respected Empress - Chapter 211
Kalki looks at the Official and smiles slyly as if taunting him for his grave ignorance. He declares “Take this Official to the Cold Prison for slandering Her Highness with meaningless accusations. The Court of The Northern Realm will investigate the suspicions and announce the verdict after a week”.
He looks Maya in her eyes and continues “As the Queen won’t be stepping out from her chamber for this week”.
He extends his hand towards her “Shall we, My lady?”
Maya is facing Kalki now “…” Holy ****!
Seeing Maya in shock, without waiting for her, Kalki forwards his hand to hold hers just like last time how he dragged her in front of the whole crowd. Yes, the day when Christopher was executed in the middle of the street.
Xavier felt his heart being crushed and stands tongue-tied. For some reason, he is angry with Kalki. It might be because of the way he pretends in front of the people or maybe he is going to hold the woman he loves. His heart is burning in jealousy.
Kalki looks around the Court to announce “The Court is dismissed-”
Saying so, just before Kalki could hold her hand and finish ordering, Maya steps back swiftly “No, Your Highness. The Court is not dismissed. Yet”.
Kalki “…”
Pfft!
COUGHS!
Alex is the first one to react as he can’t suppress his coughs anymore. He couldn’t believe that Maya just declined to hold Kalki’s hand in front of the whole people and officials! Not only that but also she objected him from dismissing the Court!
Xavier was beyond ecstasy! Even though he felt a little bad for his brother. A little. He appreciates Maya’s attitude in keeping her distance from Kalki. But he is also worried thinking what trouble she might stir now. Whenever she speaks, she does something against Royal’s decrees.
Maya smirks slyly as she notices Kalki’s stern eyes ‘Do you think only you could act? I have been pretending to be a normal fragile girl since my childhood. Now see what I can do without you stepping in’.
She masks her smirk with a respectful smile and speaks facing the people “Indeed. I am not going to step out of my chamber In The Countryside Pavilion for a week . But before that, as the Queen of The Northern Realm, I still have some duties to perform”.
Kalki is still in shock hearing her calm tone and composes himself. He mutters in his mind almost cursing ‘This woman can act!’
She smiles elegantly and speaks looking at the Chief Official “We can’t simply put everyone in prison or in streets to be executed, can we?”
The Official is about to speak but he stops as he sensed her voice turning cold faintly.
Maya now tilts her head to face Kalki as if showing her way of intimacy in front of everyone. Both even looked more suitable for each other with their strong demeanour. It looked like she was taunting him playfully for son people but most of them felt that she is doing this to help her husband from being called unreasonable for imprisoning a man.
But only Kalki who knows better emits a dangerous aura. As she is just mocking him back that she too could play the same game.
Seeing Kalki’s cold eyes, she smiles even more satisfied and announces “Of course, we can’t. I would like to answer this Official so that he could clear his suspicions on me”.
The Chief Official “…” Huh? She will herself clear the suspicions?!
Maya walks towards the man and speaks confidently “You doubt me because I helped to find the reason that caused Prince Xavier to get poisoned? The truth is Sir… I didn’t exactly found the poison, I simply stated what I observed. Fortunately, it helped The doctors in The Royal Infirmary to find the cure…”
Without giving the Official any chance to retaliate, she asks “Should I summon the Doctors then?” And looks at Jonathan.
Jonathan “…”
He gulps and bows before leaving the Court personally to bring them. He runs outside and stops abruptly in a few moments.
‘Wait! What?! Why did I leave the Court? I am supposed to wait for His Majesty’s permission! What happened to me when she ordered?! Why did I obey her, ignoring His Majesty completely? ! I will be ruthlessly punished today!’
Cursing himself for few more times, he runs to bring the doctors anyway. Kalki wouldn’t want him to disrespect Maya in the Court too.
While Maya speaks turning everyone’s attention back to her “They will arrive very soon and Sir…So, by suspecting my observing ability.. you are telling me that I should stop helping your Princes irrespective of the situation? Because if I did so, I would be suspected and imprisoned. Hmmm *pretends thinking deeply* In future, I should stop myself from helping them and let them suffer or die? Oh! That’s cruel but if that’s the only way to avoid suspicions on me, I will do that..as you say”.
The Chief Official “…” Holy Father! I heard she is clever enough to instigate others but I didn’t think she would be this good! Why would I stop her from saving The Princes?! Does she wish me to die?
Maya is not yet done with that man as he made her scared uttering the words ‘Cold Prison’ which she hates wholeheartedly. She decides to irk him more as she wants revenge!
‘How dare he would even tell that he would lock me in a Prison?! That too in a Cold prison?! You people could only dream on! Do you think I would succ.u.mb to you?! Humph!’
She suddenly asks doubtfully as if she is confused about something “Or Are you telling me that I should stop fighting a war for your Princes too? If I entered in a war just like before with Southern Realm, I might be suspected if we either won or lose it! Then …I wouldn’t fight for this Realm in future … if you say so”.
