Here's your update!!

I was tired, really tired. After the dress selection, some secretaries of the Queen came in and started lecturing me about the importance of the royal family and that I should be polite and elegant always.

They made me wear heels and taught me how to walk and dance perfectly, I had a hard time keeping up to their standards. After that they dragged me to the dining hall and made me eat small peas and vegetables, just for the sake of learning which spoon to use.

After a draining session, when I returned to my wing of the castle, I was met with Kartik sitting on the couch, typing furiously on the phone. No sooner did he saw, he tossed his phone on the coffee table and came towards me.

" Are you ok?" He asks, concern visible in his tone

" These heels are killing me" I said pointing at them

He immediately picked me up in bridal style. I was surprised, but held onto him and then he laid me on the couch and started taking off my heels.

" Hey, I can do it" I said as I started to get up

But he pushed me down again and gave me a look, " Did you eat?" He asked after taking of my heels.

" Ya peas" I replied plainly, but he chukled

" What, I'm serious" I said while huffing

He just shook his head while smiling and started massaging my foot, it felt heavenly.

" What do you wanna eat?" He asks as he continued to massage my foot, his touch sending shivers down my spine.

" I don't know, maybe pasta?" I askes

" Pasta it is then" he said and went towards the kitchen, I followed him.

As I sat on the bar stool, he shrugged of his coat and rolled his sleeves

" Are you going to cook?" I asked

" Nope, I'm just putting on a show for you" he said

" Naah, you're not my type" I chukled lightly

He looked at me with a smirk and came towards me, making me face him

" Am I not?" He whispered

I shook my head lightly, he stared intently in my eyes, but I avoided him.

" Don't avoid me, look here" he said and then softly turned my face towards him,  and lessened the distance between us, his lips hovering on mine.

I tried not to stare at his lips, as I stared in his eyes

" WHAT...." A very familiar voice interrupted us.

I pushed Kartik away, and we turned to look at Francesca standing with a scowl on her face.

" What are you doing here?" Kartik askes

" I just came to meet you" she answered

" That's not for you to decide, get out" Kartik said in a stern tone.

Francesca scoffed, " you're fraternizing with a human, specially when she is not even going to stay, she's a selfish bitch" Francesca said as she pointed a finger at me.

Kartik grabbed Francesca and said in a dangerous tone, " Anything between us is nothing for you to be concerned about and be respectful towards her, she's the future Queen"

I felt a warm feeling, when he said 'us', but I also felt a little guilty, because whatever Francesca said is true, I'm selfish, I'll leave him eventually.

" Guards!!" Kartik shouted, and three guards immediately ran in.

" From now on, no one will enter in this wing without our permission except Lady Naira and me." He shouted the instructions and dragged Francesca outside.

He then turned towards me, but before he could say anything, I interrupted him

" I'm hungry, let's cook" I said and got down from the stool. I took out the pasta and started to boil the water, while Kartik chopped the vegetables

" I'm sorry Naira, you have to listen to such things" he said

" It's fine, but she's right, it's not like I'm going to stay here" I dryly laughed at my fate

" But you can, if you want, moreover nobody really knows that you'll leave" he looked at me with hope in his eyes

" Let's see where our fate takes us" I said as I grabbed the knife from him and continued chopping the vegetables

" But still, it's upto you" he said as he wiped his hands

" And moreover, I know I'm your type" he whispered near my ear and kissed me on the cheek.
