The Commoner Consort: The Country’s Respected Empress - Chapter 248

Maya massages her foot glaring at the ground. She is in disbelief.

‘How could this happen? Why can’t I set my foot on the ground? But I have to look for Bhommi’.

She looks for her boots around the tent without wasting any time and finds them near the bed. She lets out a relaxed breath “Thankfully it’s here”.

After she wears the boots, she steps down from the bed slowly and sighs feeling nothing. She wears her gloves to protect herself from the terrible cold outside. She walks out of the tent and wonders “Where can I find his tent? I have to ask where she is staying. She should have exhausted her energy and couldn’t disappear. He might know about her”.

She observes the soldiers walking everywhere. Many were asleep on the open ground and few were still chatting and drinking while sitting around the campfire.

Perhaps they are guarding the camps?

She looks around awkwardly. The soldiers bow respectfully as soon as they saw her. She frowns as something was amiss and turns behind. She looks at the front of the tent from which she came out.

Only then she realizes she has been staying in Kalki’s tent!

She never thought he made her stay in his tent! Now she feels so embarrassed for no reason.

Maya is fl.u.s.tered by those huge men’s timid bow already. She doesn’t want this to turn more awkward.

She decides to disappear from their eyesight first. But she needs to find Kalki to know the whereabouts of Bhommi.

She couldn’t ask about Bhommi to anyone other than Kalki, could she?

She walks avoiding the men and stops seeing a pair of boots in front of her.

She expected that to be Kalki’s but she is surprised to see Marcus in front of her.

Marcus bows curtly “Your Highness”.

Maya smiles and she too bows subconsciously earning an intrigued look from Marcus. He is not used to getting the bow from any Royal member.

Marcus speaks “You must be exhausted, Your Highness. You should rest”.

Maya ignores him and asks eagerly “How is your health, Sir? I apologize. I couldn’t ask you earlier. Everyone were in a hurry previously”.

Marcus looks at her for a moment before answering respectfully “I am healed most of my injuries, Your Highness. Please forgive this servant. I am ungrateful enough to forget Your Highness’s kindness. I thank you immensely for your previous-” help. Without you, I would have lost my life and worse we could have lost Our Crown Prince!

Maya asks stunned “You fought that well even with your injuries?”

Maya is shocked hearing him and checks him from head to toe suspiciously.

‘Is he human? How could he have healed so fast?’

Marcus clears his throat as he feels extremely embarrassed and fl.u.s.tered feeling her eyes on his body. He speaks “I have treated it well, Your Highness and I have the good healing ability”.

No one dared to look at him like she was checking him. She is examining him as if he is a patient and she is a doctor.

Maya asks straight “Where can I find The Crown Prince?”

She doesn’t want to waste any time. She has to check Bhommi’s condition if she indeed exhausted herself. And Marcus’s face is turning red due to some reason. Maybe he is uncomfortable?

Marcus nods, stepping aside and extending his hand towards a direction. He speaks “This servant will lead the way, Your Highness”.

Maya follows him closely and asks “What happened after the fight? Did everything end well?”.

Marcus nods “Yes, Your Highness. Victor and I will be responsible for the imprisonment of the Royal family now”.

She asks, recalling “I couldn’t see the other men who were with you last time. Are they … fine?”

Suddenly Maya goes silent and worries about his answer ‘What if they got hurt badly in this battle?! He must be sad already! Did I-‘

Marcus answers, ending her inner thoughts, “They were sent to the Royal palace under General William’s force by The Crown Prince’s order, Your Highness. To protect the Royal family”.

Maya is stunned ‘Did he send one of his powerful General’s to protect the family?’

She blurts out her mind subconsciously “He already had assembled many battalions of soldiers… Now sending the General…”.

‘Does his family mean to him that much?’

Marcus answers her “Our Crown Prince never compromises when it comes to the family’s safety, Your Highness. Family is his priority as you know. He even has separate messengers to know about the family under his absence in the Palace. I never saw him sleep a day before reading the message about his family”.

Maya “…” I never know…

Author ( 0_0 Can this man exist in real? )

Marcus stops in front of a secluded tent and declares “We are here, Your Highness”.

She nods and smiles “Thank you, Sir. I would have never found this place if not for you”.

Marcus speaks “We are supposed to not enter this tent till His Highness orders so. He isolates himself like this whenever he needs to think. We never disturbed His Highness in years. But you can enter, Your Highness”.

Maya looks at him troubled “…” How can I enter? You! You definitely told me that he doesn’t like to be disturbed!

Marcus smiles “As his wife, you have every right to enter. This servant will be leaving then”.

Before Maya could speak, Marcus leaves her alone.

Maya suddenly feels deserted!

She looks at Marcus wronged.

Maya feels extremely troubled when she looks at the tent but enters the tent. She has to know about Bhommi.

‘What if he too doesn’t know about her? Where would I find her? What if she got hurt?’

As soon as Maya enters his tent, she freezes seeing his deathly pale face.

‘He…why is he always sick?! Why is his face so pale?’

She walks next to him and finds him opening his eyes. He must have felt her presence.

Seeing her, his eyes flashed something for a moment but he asked masking it “What do you want?”.

Maya should have asked about Bhommi but blurts “What happened? Weren’t you fine this morning?”
