*Bhairavi Pov*

I just sat on the sand and continued to take some fresh air before I get thrown inside the hut. Few moments back, I thought that I would be staying at the same place for some time.

But Alastair sent me to freshen up at a place restricted to the woman with Jacey to see that I do not run away even when she opposed to do the duty.

"I have so many duties to do for today, so it would be marvelous if you finish soon." I heard her voice far away from where she is standing as that will be the only way possible for my run away as on this side I am having only water.

"What are your duties as a Princess in this Kingdom?" I questioned her standing up as I already finished the bath.

"I need to see whether the cooks are doing their duties in a right way or not." She replied and I nodded to myself because that is a good duty.

"And?" I stressed her to tell me more.

"And that's all as after that I need to meet my acquaintances." She replied, making a frown appear on my face.

"You need to try and change the backward thoughts of your people." I mumbled stepping near her.

"Should I learn my duties from a fake Princess now?" She questioned smirking before walking away.

"Just so you know that Alastair will be mine and you will be gone from here soon or will be thrown into wildlife." She added without a second glance at me.

With a shake of my head, I turned away from the hut where I need to go in and glanced around to see what did the outsiders actually achieved by living here with no support from council.

"What are you doing?" I glanced around to see Alastair walking near me with a frown.

"Getting to know the place where I have to lead my life for some time." I replied before turning away to continue the journey.

Before I could take a step, I got pulled back with a force and glanced up to see him glaring at me while holding my neck with his hand.

"You do not get to know anything from here. We all do not be kind to the spies in any way so if you are the Council's spy then tell us about it right now." He screamed while I attempted to remove his hands.

"What is there here to inform the Council? Shall I inform them that you all are leading a very ecstatic life? Or shall I inform them that you all have a treasure hidden in your land?" I questioned him while he tugged me closer to him.

"Why did you take the life of him?" He questioned in a serious tone.

"To avenge my parents death." I replied in the same tone.

"Who are you?" He questioned again.

"I am Bhairavi and these replies will not change if you question me even in my sleep." I replied staring into his eyes.

"If I release you now, where will you go?" he continued with his questions.

"I will go to Council and tell them the secret about the treasures you have under your huts." I replied with a shrug.

He suddenly chuckled dropping his head on my shoulder making me stop my breath for a second and adjust to his closeness. I glanced around and saw few people staring at us while he continued to chuckle.

"You are very humorous." He mumbled but didn't take his head away.

"I am not." I mumbled back moving, hoping he steps away from me as I need to breath in a normal way, but he enclosed me into his tight hug in the next second.

"Why do you keep on touching me? I do not like it." I uttered, trying to push him away.

"Are you sure? Because I feel your heart quicken everytime I touch you." He retorted before stepping away.

"And I am thinking about prolonging your stay here as I need your humorous words more." He added and I stared at him in shock.

"I am not at all humorous. Trust me on this and I am very boring living being." I uttered hoping that he doesn't have this lie in his head that I am some humorous being.

"I will go and send someone to keep and eye on you. And you go ahead in getting to know the land, but let me know if you find our treasures." He mumbled, walking away ignoring my shouts that I am not humorous.

"I am second in command, but here I am looking after you." I heard a grumbled voice and turned to see Gavin stepping near me.

"Great!" I mumbled continuing my steps not wanting to hear his grumbled voice.

"Why did you wake up that day and put us all in this trouble? If you had not done anything, then everyone would have been happy." He uttered following me.

"Count me in that everyone." I retorted before turning around to return to the hut not wanting to hear him say that why did I even born into this world the next minute.

"Where are you going?" he questioned rushing behind me.

"To home!" I replied with a roll in my eyes.

"That is not your home. That will never be your home." He shouted behind me, but I ignored before stepping inside the hut and closed the door on his face, locking it with an assurance that the lock got into its proper place.

At the similar time I felt my stomach grumbling, but I do not wish to step outside and get another insult on my face. I got enough patience to stay for as much long as possible without food.

*Alastair Pov*

"She just closed the door on my face." Gavin complained about her making me roll my eyes.

"And she suggested me that I need to change the thoughts of the people here from backwards." His sister followed the words of complaint.

"She called your hut as home. This is stepping out of the line and we need to send her away." Gavin mumbled and Jacey gave a hurt look at me.

"Let him have his lunch in peace." Colton mumbled stopping them and I finished my food.

"Why did you let her roam freely, Jacey? I asked you to make her go back to hut after the morning food." I questioned her with a frown.

"Morning food? You asked me to stay near her until her bath and I did before walking away." She replied with a shrug.

"Did you bring her here for the food?" I glanced at Gavin.

"No! You didn't say anything to me." He replied without a glance at me.

"I will take her some food." I mumbled getting up.

"I forgot to tell you that my Father wanted to speak to you about some urgent matter." Jacey said looking at me.

"I will after a few minutes." I said, taking the dish with her food.

"He asked me to call you in the morning and it is nearly evening. I think it is better to go there first." She mumbled and Gavin nodded.

"I will take her food." Colton offered and I nodded trusting him before walking towards the King's place.

"You summoned for me, your highness?" I questioned him entering the chamber.

"Yes! Jacey is making it an aim to not let us live in peace for allowing you to keep the lass as your slave." He whispered with a sigh.

"You know that I never wished to wed Jacey, Your highness." I mumbled.

"We know that, Alastair. But she is a child so we want you to not be hard on her and we are searching for a prospective groom." Her highness, Queen Sabrina requested.

"I will try, your highness." I mumbled and King allotted a few duties to be done before the sun fall.

After all the work finished, I walked near the hut with tiredness to see Colton standing near the door making me frown at him.

"What is it that you are doing here?" I questioned him.

"She locked the door and is not opening it even after I knocked for several times. I searched for you but I couldn't find you so I was waiting for you." He explained.

"Did you get my food too?" I asked while searching for the key I got in spare hanging to my sword.

"Yes!" he replied and explained that he just got back with fresh food for us.

"You may leave now." I mumbled, taking them into my hands and opened the door to see no lamp lighted inside.

After locking the door with the moon brightness, I lighted on the lamp before glancing around to see her lying on the cot sleeping.

"Wake up!" I mumbled shaking her sitting before her on the stool.

"I too wish I did not wake up that day and all this wouldn't have happened." She mumbled in her sleep making me frown.

"Bhairavi!" I called her shaking her more and she slowly moved opening her eyes.

"What is it?" She questioned sitting up.

"Have the food." I replied, gesturing the dish.

She nodded before taking a small bite in dizziness while I can see that she is tired. I waited until she finished the food and then had mine.

"I will not run away and there is no way to so don't send the Princess in the morning with me. And try to not send Gavin too for later. I will stay in this hut only." She mumbled before lying down on the cot with her back to me.

I frowned, but calmly put off the lamp and removed my tunic before joining her on the cot. Tapping on her shoulder I made her turn around with a frown and a yawn.

"Did you find the treasure?" I questioned her and she suddenly gave a slow chuckle before snuggling into me with the sleepiness she is feeling.

"And someone is calling me humorous here." She mumbled before drifting off into sleep and I too followed her holding her to me.
