The Commoner Consort: The Country’s Respected Empress - Chapter 233
Celina who was bringing Maya’s food again now gets startled hearing Maya’s cries and gasps shocked “W-what..happened? Why would she cry?”.
She runs towards the chamber and opens boldly. She might get Maya’s anger for doing this but she can’t let Maya cry alone. When she entered the chamber she is frozen in shock seeing Maya’s pathetic condition.
She looked so vulnerable exactly opposite to her usual self. She was curling herself and mumbling something weakly again and again.
She runs to her and shivered in coldness while trying to hold her “Madam..Why are you so cold? And why are you crying? What happened? What-“.
Maya pushes Celina weakly and gasps “L-Leave me alone…”.
“Huh? How could I-”
“Leave…”
“But-”
Maya orders harshly “I order you to leave me this instant!”
Celina gets disheartened and walks out sadly as she can’t go against The Empress’s order.
Maya grits her teeth “Why wouldn’t she obey me like her?! Why didn’t she hear my plead-”
But the moment the doors were closed it bursts open loudly making Maya startle.
SLAM!
She is surprised to see Kalki in the doorway while he is not supposed to be there for a month.
Kalki asks straight “What have you done?!”
She looks away.
He whispers in disbelief “Xavier is back. How?”
Maya starts to cry but suppresses them by pursing her lips.
He was looking at her with so many emotions and disbelief was obvious in his eyes. As if something impossible has happened, he couldn’t even believe what he heard!
He walks towards her slowly.
He asks gritting his teeth “What.did.you.do?!”
Maya looks away from him and even turns away from him. She speaks faintly “I brought him back”
Kalki hisses impatiently “I know that well, Maya! But at what cost?!”
The question made Maya feel more guilty.
Maya shakes her head as she can’t open her mouth or else she will scream in agony. Her heart constricts at the thought of her deeds.
Kalki gets restless and holds her shoulder. In next moment he kneels weakly and gasps stunned “What have you done, Maya?! You made something terrible this time! What did you do?!”
Maya starts pushing him away and hides her face from him as she is ashamed of even being alive at this moment!
Kalki grabs her hand and turns her body swiftly so that she can face him. He wonders seeing her tilting her head to avoid facing him “Don’t tell me…”.
She nods her head weakly and whispers “I did it”.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href=”#'s-respected-empress_12655201705389405/future-every-time-you-are-alone-you-lose-something-precious-to-you_51080190838765296″>#'s-respected-empress_12655201705389405/future-every-time-you-are-alone-you-lose-something-precious-to-you_51080190838765296</a> for visiting.
Kalki eyes grew wide hearing her and look around in disbelief “You… Where is she?!”
Maya wails hearing him and pushes him weakly “Leave me alone!! I don’t deserve anyone! I killed everyone around me! I deserve to be cursed! Why is everyone sacrificing themselves for me?! I don’t deserve them all!! I-I can never do what they did to me! I never gave them anything! Then why would they do this for me?! Why?!”
Kalki looks her emotionally as she indeed can break. He has never seen her cry like this. But he never thought she could be this vulnerable when she is broken. A fit of strange jealousy creeps in his heart as he thought of Xavier consoling her in the past.
A strong feeling of protectiveness arises in him and he hugs her slowly. He never realized that it is the first time, he hugs her with so many emotions in him for her.
Maya still tries to avoid him by pushing him “I said leave me alone!”.
Kalki tightens his hug and declares “Not anymore”.
Maya blinks hearing him and still pushes him away “Leave me!-“.
She stops hearing him say “Every time you are alone, you lose something precious to you”.
Maya starts trembling to hear him. She indeed lost everyone in his absence!
Kalki sighs caressing her head “Why did you do this? You wouldn’t have wished to do this to her then why? Why would you go there if you don’t want to give her soul-”
Maya stammers absentmindedly “S-she… I told her t-to wait outside… I told her to not enter-”
He freezes at his thoughts “So.. You were going to sacrifice yourself to get him back and she sacrificed her soul for you!”.
Maya complains “I shouldn’t have called her! I told her to stay out of this! I believed her! I thought she would listen to me and she never opposes my words! But the first time she did..she ..left me…she disappeared..forever… Why would she do this to me? Did she want to me live dead with this guilt?! How long should I live like this? Why should I live over their deaths?! Why?! Why can’t I just die?!”
Kalki huffs irked “Enough-”
Maya shakes her head and speaks all her thoughts out “No! I can’t live like this! Would I be even a human if I live? W-Why don’t you just kill me? Hmm?”
Kalki looks at her hopeful gaze stunned as she looked like she lost her mind. Who would wish to die desperately?
Maya asks hopefully “It is easy for you to kill someone, isn’t it? It would be easier to kill me!! You have the right reasons too! I killed your brother before!-”
Kalki interrupts irked as he doesn’t like this conversation at all “He is back now”.
Maya darts her eyes in her thought and continues “I killed your mother’s soul and I even killed V-”
Kalki interrupts her again “That was inevitable”
Maya asks eagerly “You can kill me, can’t you?! Hmm?”
Seeing Kalki’s frown she realizes something. She lets out a bitter laugh defeated “Ha! How could you… You too will die then…”.
She asks herself “Why is every way closed?-”
Kalki stares her deeply and whispers “You want to die?”
Maya is unaware of his emotions in his eyes and speaks looking away ” Do I even deserve to live?”
Kalki glares at her and asks noticing her face “Have you even eaten anything?”
Maya expected him to do something violent or even slap her at least for her deeds. His question was irrelevant to her.
She pushes him weakly “That’s not important. I need to find some-“.
Kalki loses his temper and shouts “Will you stop finding ways to kill yourself?! It’s not happening! Can’t you tell?!”
Maya looks him shocked.
