*Bhairavi Pov*

"Are you sure about this, Princess?" Ravi, the man who didn't care for his life and stepped into Palmer to save her asked regarding my decision.

"I want someone as my minister on whom I can trust my Kingdom with. However, do not worry about the pressures as there will be another one joining you when I find the proper person for it. You will be trained by the council regarding the duties and all you need is to be loyal to this land and me." I replied, assuring him to not fear regarding the new position being offered by me.

"You can enter the Palace and be the governess to look after everything to be in it's place." I added, glancing at the Maid Ava who was there with me when I was in the Ramsey's clutches.

"I am honored with the position." She mumbled before leaving the throne room while I ordered the few people to look after the little changes and inform me everything.

"You need to take care about your health, Princess." My personal Maid Tina mumbled when I continued to check regarding the matters relating to the wealth and stock lost due to not proper care with no one to look after them in my absence.

"I have work!" I simply stated, ignoring her concern.

It's been three days since I returned to the Kingdom but there is still a lot of to do and resting is not a part of the plan for it. I glanced at her when I saw that she is still lingering near the door of the workroom my Father built for his use.

"You are not sleeping properly and also not having your food. This will not do any good for the Kingdom by passing time. At least for them have some rest." She requested before walking away and I stopped working because for them, I will do everything that is in my hands.

"Council has summoned up for you, Princess." Ravi mumbled when I allowed his request to enter the workroom the very next day.

"How is the training?" I questioned him and he explained that he is doing good and working hard to be best for our Kingdom.

"Do you know why are they wishing for my presence?" I asked him in the afternoon when we both left to meet the Council.

"Seems to be important, but I do not know the details." He replied and I nodded before glancing out of the chariot.

"You wished for my presence?" I questioned them standing before all the members and King Vali who is already present.

"We came into notice that there is a small moment near to the Kingdoms to Palmer regarding a woman starting her role as a ruler of the Kingdom which protects most of those places." One member stated without beating round the bush.

"Is it serious enough to be taken into notice and worry for it?" I asked them with a frown.

"Every big moment starts from a small moment." Another pointed out.

"Are you wishing to question my position?" I placed the main question.

"You were already tested way before when you were just a child of eight and one. And we trust your Father for giving you the duty." Elder member replied.

"We are talking about a solution for the matter in hand." The younger member said making me glance at each of their faces to see their decision.

"And that is?" I uttered hoping they are going to do the one which I do not want at present.

"Your marriage! Which would give a King for this place and your coronation will be done along with him, making sure to put off the disturbance around the people who are feeling it and the people who will feel in the mere future." It seemed to be sensible but I am in no right mind to be locked down again.

"I do not think it is a right thing to do." I stated not wanting to follow their suggestion.

"Do you think all the disturbances are settled for getting the people of Agatha into wars right this moment? The soldiers are capable for the war, but there will be a loss on either side because of just a small prejudice regarding the woman and the ruling." The elder pointed out.

In this manner the words shared from either side of us making me think about what happened at Nadir which I blocked until this second. I may have got married to that man, but I am no longer married. No human is going to think that my virtue intact after knowing that I have been a slave for two men and I do not want them to be fooled.

"This will be according to your heart's desire, child. We will not be barbaric by ordering you regarding this crucial part of your life." Elder said in gentle tone when I stood in silence hearing and thinking regarding the advice.

"That didn't work the last time. I am ready to go with the decision." I uttered stating my decision.

And they all felt a little wary, but also happy hearing it. While I continued to say "However, I have a few conditions to be accepted by all of you." Making their wariness win over the happiness.

*Alastair Pov*

Where are you, Bhairavi? I thought, staring at the water and at the land Nadir to which we are returning after a few days of searching for her by captivating as number of pirate ships as possible.

For the first time in my life I do not feel like I am returning to my home, but to a place where she will not be there. She is not taken by the pirates and they didn't lie, but uttered something which is shocking to all of us.

I walked near to the chambers to see everyone coming out of their places waiting for me to say anything. I glanced up to see the King and Queen along with Jacey stepped out and Colton joined them, but there is no trace of Gavin.

"Did you find her?" His highness asked.

"She is not with any of them." I replied, staring at the ground.

"But they said that they were warned to stay away from our land and people or else the Council will harm them by the people on ship which left with King Vali." I added still not believing their words.

"How can that be possible? We are the enemies for Council." King uttered, and everyone are stunned hearing my words.

"Maybe Gavin will tell you where she is." Colton mumbled and I glanced at him with a frown.

"You found him?" I asked and he nodded before leaving the place and brought Gavin with his hands bound by chains.

"Why did you do it?" I questioned him holding his throat before anyone could stop me with the rage I felt and the pain for not having her beside me.

"I..." he stuttered but was not able to say any words.

"What is it?" I shouted after fisting my hand and punching his face making him fall down.

"I am the Prince and I should be the King. But you were chosen and I was still fine as my Sister can be the Queen with which I will have power to be on top over everyone else." He started saying raising up on his legs and everyone listened to him keenly with disgust.

"Then that woman entered your life and this place, making the changes for everyone. I was sure that I would not be the second in command anymore with the closeness of hers with Colton. Then I will be nothing so I waited for a chance and took it and you were fool for believing me even after knowing that we are not in favor for her." He finished and I fell on my knees because he was true.

"Tell me where she is." I ordered after few moments remembering that I need to find her.

"She went with King Vali and maybe I am not wrong in the matter of her being the spy." He mumbled and I stood up to stare at the King and Queen who are having shameful looks after hearing their Son's words.

"I do not want this land. I want to leave and search for her from wherever I can." I stated and everyone stared at me in shock.

"This is your hard work. And you deserved this." King pointed out.

"I do not! And now the absence of her beside me is the proof that I can never be a good ruler for anything. I do not even remember what I uttered to her and that is the worst part of mine. Many of these people know that she saved Colton but no one raised their voice and I am not blaming them, but if Jacey was in her place then they all would have. When she was not treated as theirs, then I do not want to bring her here back and will settle somewhere." I explained and Colton stepped near to me.

"I will come with you. As a man I need to show my gratitude to her for saving my life." He stated with no chance of anyone stopping him.

"I will also come with you." We heard a surprising voice of Jacey.

"Why would you?" I questioned her.

"I need to apologize to her and also Colton is not healed completely so I have to take care of him." She replied and went inside the chamber mumbling she will pack her apparel's.

"I was about to step down from the throne after this war, but now I do not have a person to whom I can give it. However, I do not want to continue ruling when I failed as a Father even after knowing that how a son can bring bad days for the land." His highness mumbled glancing at Gavin who doesn't have even a small look that he did something bad.

"We will come with you all to be with our Daughter and if we found Bhairavi then we all will return with assurance that she is fine and will decide about the land." Her Highness uttered.

"But who will take care of them?" I questioned with a frown.

"After you left we found out that many of these people are with Gavin to overtake the throne. Let them all have the luxury of his ruling in our absence." His highness uttered in disappointment.

Within a few moments of time we all are climbing the ship with a few warriors following us as they do not want to leave us with no protection at wherever we are going to.

"This is madness to go somewhere which we do not even know with the King and Queen." Colton mumbled leaning on the rail along with me.

"They need this get away, Colton. After everything that happened with their son and I can understand them." I explained and he slowly nodded.

"I do not forgive you until she does." He stated sighing.

"Get us to the Kingdom Tanika soon, Captain." I ordered the man who is sailing the ship.

"What if she is not there?" Jacey questioned while giving medicine to Colton.

"Then prepare for the travel around the Kingdoms." I simply replied and stared at the water hoping we will find her soon.
