Chapter 29
*Bhairavi Pov*
"They all are settling down in a fine way." Alastair mumbled entering the workroom.
I glanced up asking "Is training over?"
"Yes! Warriors of Nadir joined today and started learning the ways of Agatha's warriors." He replied and I slowly nodded.
"It's been a few days and I can see the children have also calmed down with the recent events." I uttered when he sat down.
"Yes! Are you with child?" His questioned startled me a little would be an understatement and I composed my shocked face into blank one.
"Why the change in topic?" I questioned him back.
"I saw the concern for other children in your eyes making me think about ours. So, are you with child?" he repeated the question.
"No!" I replied, staring at his face.
"Are you for sure?" he questioned again.
"If you want to know in detail why do I think I am not with child, then I would love to explain it." I replied sighing.
"Fine! What would you have done if you were and I didn't reach here soon to stop you from becoming anyone's?" he continued to question making my head pound with pain.
"Then I would have had the child and it would have been the heir of Agatha." I replied simply.
"I would have never known about it." He stated and I didn't utter anything to it.
"I think it is the right time to let them know about the new arrangements for them to live and settle." I uttered standing up and he nodded before we both informed the King and Queen.
When everyone stood before the palace in silence, King Teodor started explaining about the renaming of Palmer and their living arrangements.
"Do not worry about the security as it will be built according to the needs of all of you and that too by the person on whom you can have the trust." I stated when there was a worry creeping between them.
"King Teodor and Queen Sabrina will leave with you and King of Agatha will accompany them to assure you all that he will be looking out for your safety." I added making Alastair stiff beside me.
After I said that everyone gave a relief sigh and left to prepare for the travel which is the next morning. I glanced at the King and Queen nodding before walking inside the Palace with Alastair following me in fast pace.
I know he will be screaming at me for the decision taken by me without his consent and I wish no one to know about it so I walked into his chamber and waited until he closed the door.
I turned around only to gasp as he already pulled me into his arms and snaked his fingers through my hair before gripping it making my face to lift a little with which there is not much space between our faces too.
"Is this decision involve the good for the people or for you to have distance from me?" He questioned calmly which surprised me a lot.
"Both!" I simply whispered, staring into his eyes.
"If this is what you want, then I will do it." He whispered, pressing his lips to my forehead and hugged me tightly in his hold.
"I never thought the possibility of me putting the pressure on you making you wish, I stay away." He mumbled.
I didn't say anything to his words and stepped back when he released me, but had his palm over my cheek, caressing it making me wish to think about something else except his emotions being given away by his eyes.
"I will go and put someone else in charge who could train the warriors in my absence." He mumbled and walked away leaving the chamber and I just stood there.
"Should I also leave with them?" Colton questioned in the evening entering the workroom while I sat there in idle.
"Ravi and you would be taking turns to help Alastair but do not ignore the training. One of you would be a minister for that land." I replied making him frown.
"Which would be me, I am sure." He mumbled and I nodded.
"Yes! King and Queen would be staying there which would make Jacey to be there. You both would not be happy to stay at different places." I mumbled.
"Of course! But you and Alastair can be very happy to stay at different places." He commented making me stare at him.
"I am letting go this one time your slip of words." I murmured standing up and left the room ignoring him.
I have been lying on the bed for the past few hours and know at any moment they all will be leaving. I need not be there to send off as I already talked to the King and Queen along with Jacey. For now Ravi will be leaving with them as he knows what is there at what place.
I can hear my chamber door opening and also the footsteps nearing the bed, but I didn't react as I know it is Alastair with a feeling in my gut like always which I felt even when fighting with his face covered that day.
He slowly lay beside me and placed his hand around me before pulling me to be able to press himself to my back. I can feel his breath tickling near my ear, but I didn't mumble anything.
"I wish I never lost my mind that day and hurt you in a hard way. I wish I never made you regret for ever loving me. And I wish you will miss me even for not disturbing you or making you feel uncomfortable for the days I am leaving." He whispered, making me close my eyes tightly and place my hand over his.
With which he turned me around and pulled me into his embrace and I allowed him to. After a few moments he walked away releasing me while I lay there with no moment within me.
*Colton Pov*
"How is everything going on there?" I questioned Ravi after few days when he returned from the new Nadir land.
"Everything is good and Jacey asked me to give you this." He replied teasingly before placing a small paper in my hands.
"Did you meet her highness?" I asked, pushing the note inside my breeches.
"No! You stopped me before that." He pointed out and we both walked near to the workroom.
"You have returned." Bhairavi said, looking at Ravi and then glanced behind us.
"Yes! Alastair sent him alone to report you about the progress." I uttered before Ravi could speak a word.
"Oh!" she whispered and glanced down, but immediately composed herself.
"He is here on the ground looking after the training of warriors the second he entered to see whether they have developed the techniques or not." Ravi explained pointing out my lie.
"He is outside?" she questioned him after giving me a glare.
"Yes! Shall I ask him to come here?" He questioned back.
"No! Tell me the developments." She replied and he did while I excused myself and walked near to Alastair who is completely involved in training the warriors.
"Are you trying to prove again that your duty is more important than your wife?" I questioned making him still.
"Is she fine?" He questioned with worry.
"Of course she is after fully knowing that her husband is checking up on the warriors returning home after a week." I replied making him sigh.
"I shouldn't be here at all but I can't ignore the warriors which would create trouble for her so I want to finish these duties and return before she could feel uncomfortable with my presence." He explained stepping near to the dungeons.
"I always thought you are at best for being a fool when you made her leave Nadir but now you are proving me wrong." I mumbled tapping his shoulder and walked away.
I read her letter, smiling at her new adventure with helping the people in settling as she need to be responsible for becoming a wife of minister.
She even threatened saying she will not marry until she prove herself to be a minister's wife like me making me chuckle and pack my apparel's to leave the next day along with Alastair but I hope he spent some time with Bhairavi before leaving.
"I suppose you didn't meet her at all." I mumbled climbing the ship and saw him staring at the land we are leaving to reach new Nadir.
"We both were busy." He mumbled and stared at me.
"Are you excited to meet your love after these days of separation?" He questioned changing the topic.
"Of course! I am not like both of you for being able to stay away for a long time." I replied me being me making him give me an eye roll.
"Colton!" Jacey screamed when she saw me and rushed to me and I hugged her the moment she came near to my hold.
"So, you will not be mine until you prove yourself?" I questioned her.
"Do you think I cannot prove myself?" She questioned back raising her eyebrow.
"If you don't, then who would." I replied making her laugh.
"We will return after two weeks only." I uttered glancing at Alastari and he nodded slowly before walking away to get into work.
*Alastair Pov*
I again stepped into Agatha with Ravi this time after finishing the work in new Nadir which took nearly two months. As usual, I walked near to the warriors to check up on them like everytime I return from Nadir.
"Your highness!" I heard Colton calling with the title, which he does when there are people around us.
"What is it?" I questioned him when I saw the weariness on his face.
"A problem!" he replied and we both walked into the workroom where Bhairavi is there with King Vali.
I stared at her for more than a second missing her for the past two months as we never crossed our path even for the days between when I returned to have a look at the duties I have in this Kingdom.
She too stared back at me until King Vali cleared his throat asking me to sit down and I can feel that the matter is serious.
"We found few people reaching the shore with little life left in them, but now they are little fine. They belong to one of the outsider land near old Nadir." King Vali started saying.
"Gavin and few Pirates attacked them, causing the life loss and their people too went to their side. Seems that the army is increasing and their aim is to take down Agatha which would harm Council." He finished making me stiff.
"If we leave them alone, then it would not take much time to reach here. We can easily attack them and put down if they come here as they do not know our strength." Bhairavi mumbled glancing at us.
"We cannot forget that they are Pirates and they have stupid stunts under their sleeves and they will attack the woman of the land to make men weak." Ravi uttered and we all nodded making me glance at Bhairavi to see her fuming.
I can never take a chance to let someone hurt her in any way. So I started thinking and found only one solution for this.
"Why don't we take them down right now?" I offered and everyone stared at me.
"They would be surprised and their army is still a little. We can easily wipe them off and capture Gavin." I added.
"I am with his idea." Colton uttered.
"Our warriors do not know the area by which they can get their life into danger." Bhairavi mumbled with the care for her people.
"I know the land with the back of my hand. I will leave with them and see to the win of our Kingdom." I uttered.
"You are a King and you shouldn't put your life in danger." She immediately mumbled.
"I am supporting her point." King Vali mumbled glancing at me.
"There will be warriors who will see to my safety. Do not worry about that, but we need to think of another plan for everyone's safety." I mumbled determined to go to the war and put the danger off by myself to not let any danger reach her.
"Why don't we put a few ships on hold and send them after a few hours from the time most of the warriors left for the war? These ships will have more space to bring back any captives and also if there is damage to any of our ship then our people can return in these." Bhairavi suggested after a few minutes.
"Excellent!" we all shouted, making her step back as we all stood up in a second.
"Ok! I am glad to know that it is good and Colton you will be in new Nadir to see that no one reaches there to attack as we don't know what will happen." She mumbled and he nodded even though he want to be in the war.
"You will be leading the warriors, King Alastair. I will send some of my warriors for extra help." King Vali said and took his leave.
"We need to inform the warriors and get them ready." Ravi suggested glancing at me and I nodded before following him outside after glancing at her for a few moments in silence.
