Rasini’s PoV

Prince and I left courtroom, because our parents asked us to change our, I quote, " drama outfits, and be human again, till then they would fix our marriage talks."

When my father asked whether I would get married to youngest Prince of Meitey, for security of our kingdom, I instantly agreed.

I have to marry someday to someone anyways. I had met Prince once as a child but I had always heard he was fun, kind, understanding and easy going.

Also queen and king of Meitey always loved me like their daughters. And meitey is only half a day’s journey away from Vishakha. It will be a very convenient marriage so I said a yes.

But I still wonder what kind of husband he will prove to be, I hope a wonderful one who would race with me to the forest, and talks with me about anything and everything at the shore of lake.

Suddenly I heard rustling sound near my window, at first I ignored it thinking it might be the wind. But then I heard it again, my ears perked and my neck stretched trying to figure who is near window as it was late night and complete dark outside.

A loud sound reached my ear as if a big tree's branch fell. I quickly stood up and grabbed a vase near my bed. I slowly walked towards the window and quietly stood near it waiting for thief to enter inside.

"thap" hearing the sound of thief entering my chamber, I instinctively pressed my lips and closing my eyes, I raised vase to hit the thief. The crack echoed through the chamber as vase broke. slowly I opened my eyes, only to meet with Prince kridayan’s.

" Ahhhhhhhhh" I screamed top of my voice, closing my eyes tightly.

"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Prince Kridayan screamed back.

"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. why are you screaming?" I screamed and questioned.

"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, because you are screaming." he screamed again.

Hearing our screams soldiers standing outside to guard my chamber ran inside.

He took a deep breath, glancin around chamber he commanded, " Privacy." Soldiers started leaving chamber one after another leaving both of us alone once again.

" why are you sending them away?" My voice came out louder than usual

He quickly wiped distance between us, grabbing back of my head from one hand and pressed his other hand on my mouth. I noticed non existing distance between us, everything started fading away. My heart hammered against my ribs.

My voice came out muffled when I tried to scream again. But he pressed his hand harder, "Can you stop screaming princess? Entire palace will wake up."

A realisation endowed upon me, it was Prince Kridayan and not a thief. My shivering hands steadied. He slowly left my mouth standing in front of me, when he was sure I won't scream again.

I started coughing and once I calmed down I glanced at him, " What are you doing here?" I questioned him.

He smirked at me. He lazily walked towards my bed, sitting on it he said, " I thought of spending some quality time with you as we are supposed to get married." He playfully winked at me.

Goosebumps raised on my body, leaving my throat thirsty. What is happening to me? Is something wrong with me? Who told you you are right person other part of my brain questioned, " What do you mean by quality time?" I questioned sitting beside him, not paying attention to my thoughts.

He ran his tongue over his lips, slowly keeping his hand on mine, which was resting on the mattress.

He scratched side of his head, "Actually, I also have no idea, Amey, one of my friends said, I should spend some quality time with you as our marriage is about to happen."

A laugh escaped from my mouth at his innocent cluelessness. His brows drew together in confusion, " Why are you laughing?" he drawled.

I controlled my laughter, " Probably he meant we should get to know each other." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Probably." his lips pressed together. something twisted in my stomach.

“Ouch” I moaned in pain.

Kridayan’s eyes immediately filled with concern, “ what happened?”

“ I don’t know, my stomach hurts.” I blurted.

“ should I call physician?” Kridayan said holding my forearm.

“ No, I am fine now, probably I overate.” I gave him an excuse.

Ignoring my bodily reactions, folding my legs on bed and resting my hands on them I sat comfortably, ready to have talks with him, " Tell me why you agreed to the marriage?"

He bit his lips, and my breath hitched, " Because, I will anyway marry someone, if the marriage between us brings benefit to kingdom, why not?" he answered without sugarcoating anything, I liked his honesty.

"Besides I heard you are as adventure loving so am I. today we got the proof of it, life would rather be easy with you." I laughed and nodded my head, he also grinned at me.

His smile faded, replacing with calm yet serious expression. He held both my hands in his caressing back of my hand with his thumb. A shiver ran down my spine . I tried to jerk away my hand but he held it firmly, " Fairy princess, you are aware how bhabhi got married to my bhai?"

I straightened myself and nodded my head, " She was forced into the marriage, with god's grace they are happily married now, but it would have been difficult for both of them if she wouldn't have accepted bhai wholeheartedly."

He paused taking breath, my eyes stared him waiting for him to continue, " I want to avoid same situation between us, so tell me, you want to marry me?" he popped the question.

“ You really think someone could force me into doing something?" I questioned him

He stared at me without saying anything further, I blinked, " Yes, I want to marry you and the reason is same as yours." I said.

“ Are you sure?” He questioned again

“ Yes, wart man as sure as sun will rise to east tomorrow.” I reaffirmed my consent to marriage.

A wave of respect ran through me. There are families which don’t even ask their daughters whether they want to marry or not. And here my to be husband is concerned about my consent, I feel lucky.

He sighed in relief, " I never knew Prince of Meitey’s breath can be caught by a mere princess's consent." My eyebrows did a little dance as I teased him.

" Oh really, let me show you what catches my breath?" he said twisting my hand behind my back and hovering over me.

Why is he coming closer to me? Is there something on my face that he wants to remove?

His warm breath fanned over my face, an ache spread across my nerves, leading to the wetness down there. Only for me to wonder whether am I menstruating? or did I pee. What is it?

No, that couldn’t be it. My cycle ended days ago.

So was it pee? Did I just peed in front of my to be husband. Shame crawled over my face.

But wait a minute, why would pee came out from a different place, the wetness wasn’t on place from where I pee but below it. The more I tried to make sense the more it stopped making any sense, “ arhhh” frustration screamed in my mind.

Both time I felt this he was near. Why? why my body is reacting like this only around him?

There are many men whom I touch or hug including my brother and father but I have never felt like this.

He was about to press his lips on mine, and my stomach twisted strongly again, my eyes closed in anticipation. Unable to bear this feeling any longer, my hand raised on his cheek, in an attempt to stop him, bringing both of us back to reality.

I slowly opened my one eye, only to find him taken aback by my sudden action. He quickly left my hand and distanced from me.

I figeted with my fingers, what is wrong with me? I never behaved like this, but he is doing something to me.

I looked up at him only to realised I crossed a limit, I quitely looked down " I am sorry." I mumbled hurridly.

When I looked up again I found him looking at me with his hands folded on his chest and a smirk gracing his lips. he leaned closer to me, for me to lean back," I am a soldier fairy princess, we believe in an eye for an eye." he said and left my chamber as he came in.

The moment the he left, panic settled in my stomach.

what if he calls off the wedding, because of the slap?
