Chapter - 21

Recap: Yashvi is crowned as the queen of Black gore.

*******************

Yashvi smiled at the crowd a gentle one and she heard a voice in her mind, " All the smile aren't real and not all the pain are fake Yashvi". 

Yashvi was a bit startled and turned to look at Agastya who had a calm and stoice face with his attention on the crowd.  Sensing her gaze on him he turned to her his face turning soft and loving instantly. " I know you have a lot of questions and doubts and sure we shall discuss when we are back in chamber love and right now we need to head back to the court room. You will meet the court members officially as a queen."he said squeezing her hand and they rose to their feet heading back to the courtroom. 

Agastya held Yashvi's hand in a grip hold and together they ascended the stairs to the throne. Thye got seated and Agastya looked at Yashvi with a pride smile and turned his attention to the court members.

"Queen Yashvi shall get involved in the affairs of the kingdom when she is ready. As of now she will focus on the welfare of the woman and child in the kingdom but before that she will choose her lady in first and the council members", Agastya announced and Yashvi felt relieved to his thoughts while others only nodded their head.

Rakshan stood from his seat and bowed to the king and queen, "Your highness, the celebration on welcoming the queen comes to an end in a day and the guest have made their plans on leaving the palace" he said hinting on Trisha who has still extended her stay in the palace.

Chaaya snickered at his words and turned her attention to Agastya, " Agastya, I want you to know that I have added a new member to my council and she will be the lady in first", she looked at Rakshan with a known smile before she uttered, " Trisha, will be my new member in council"  

Agastya internally grit his teeth and Rakshan knew the play Chaaya was trying but he was not in a place to stop her. Agastya  sensed Yashvi tense beside him and instantly held her hand in his squeezing gently to comfort her.

In all these ploy Aashi cleared her throat and stood in the middle of the room bowing before Agastya and Yashvi.

"Congratulations and long live Queen Yashvi. I m happy for my brother and being a responsibe member in the court room and concerned about the king and the kingdom, I would like to remind about the mating ceremony" she started with a smile looking at her mother and instantly turned to Agastya and Yashvi and knew they weren't happy with her stunt yet she continued, "It is said and believed that our king might lose his power if he doesn't mate with the queen right in less than two days after the coronation "

Yashvi was shocked on hearing that Agastya would lose his power in less than two days considered they didn't mate. Now it was her turn and she squeezed on to his palm watching Nadhiya join Aashi.

Chaaya hated the fact that it would be difficult to clear Yashvi if they are mated and Harsha had his own reasons of losing his chance of becoming the king forever. He cursed Aashi in his mind and thought of a way to stop the mating ceremony so before Nadhiya could make his chances void he rose to his feet and addressed Agastya, " Your highness, I disagree with the princess, our queen is a human and not that we are unhappy but we should consider her comfort and her true interest in knowing us before she is mated".

Nadhiya screamed a no startling everyone who watched her closed eyes. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked at only Yashvi, " The mating ceremony should happen not only for the king to retain his position but for the safety of the kingdom. She will be the saviour of the kingdom and that would happen only if the king and queen mate" she said every word with determination shocking everyone.

Harsha once again tried to interfere but Nadhiya stopped him. Agastya smirked knowing his intentions but he was not ready to force Yashvi to mate with him. He for sure knew he would not lose his power atleast not his demon powers so he decided to declare the mating ceremony would happen when Yashvi was ready. He was about to speak but Yashvi beat to him, " The mating ceremony will happen. I will not let my mate lose his power nor will I will let the kingdom to go through any hurdles. King Agastya is my soul mate and I m happy that I have him in my life" she said and looked at Agastya who was shocked.

She knew he would try to her mind so she spoke in her mind, " Agastya, I m not feeling as forced to this but I don't want you to lose anything on my behalf. You have waited long enough, ok I wanted to focus on the people so lets discuss in our room" she quickly uttered the last words and Agastya tried hard to stop the chuckle that was about to escape his lips.

He looked at his mother and Harsha who looked pissed at the turn of events. He had a proud smile on his face and dismissed the court to join him and Yashvi for the grand lunch. 

All the courtiers and family members stood as Agastya and Yashvi seated on the head seat. Chaaya waited patiently for the drama to unfold as a maid approaced with blood to be served for everyone. To her dismay nothing happened and Yashhvi stayed calm wating the maids serve the dishes to everyone. She was served with special dishes which was complete human food. She looked at Agastya and mentally thanked as she reminded their conversation back in the chamber before they walked out for the coronation

Agastya stopped Yashvi just before they were about to step out of the chamber and leaned to her ear kissing her shells gently. Yashvi tried to push him but Agastya held her in place and mumbled in her ears, " There are high chances of you seeing blood today at the coronation and at the lunch with the courtiers so I will stop your senses of smell until everything comes to an end and we return to the chamber"

"But I wouldn't be able to smell the feast that will be in my honour, Agastya" she exclaimed feeling bad for missing the scent of her food. Agastya chuckled at her, " baby, you won't be able to smell but for sure you can taste them"  he said pinching the tip of her nose.

Yashvi looked at Chaaya and Harsha for a fleeting moment as if her mind wanted her to see their faces and true to her instinct both had a surprised, shocked reaction which soon returned to a scowl.

Agastya picked his glass of serum as always and raised to everyone, "On the honour of my mate, Queen Yashvi" his words rolled out in extreme pride and everyone riased their glasses honouring Yashvi.

She truly enjoyed all the dishes but her eyes look franctically for the red velvet cake that had been her favourite ever since Agastya had entered in her life. Looking at her nose scrunch for a moment he understand what she was looking for. He clapped his hand and Yashvi watched a servant carrying a huge plate with lid and he placed it before Agastya and Yashvi. 

" What is that Agastya ? We have almost finished the lunch so what it is now ? " Chaaya piqued in as curiosity kicked her.

Without replying to his mother he gestured Yashvi to open the lid and though she knew what it could be she bit her lips to control her excitement and opened the lid slowly. A squeal was about to escape her lips but before she could do Chaaya spoke, " A cake ? Why though?" she asked and thankfully Yashvi felt relieved that she didn't let out the child in her.

"That is Yashvi's favourite cake mom and on her special day she deserves her favourite. Am I right brother ?" Aashi asked Agastya and he countered, " Ofcourse my Yashvi deserves everything that she wished for "

He passed the knife to her and Yashvi cut the cake. Agastya picked a small piece to tease and to his guess she pouted at him but opened her mouth for him to feed. To return the favour she picked a smaller piece than he did and fed him but luck being on his side her fingers were more into his mouth than the cake and he didn't miss the chance to lick her fingers sending tingles in her body.

Chaaya rose from her seat with a fake smile, " My daughter in law of course deserves the best and I take the honour of feeding her with my own hands" she moved towards Yashvi swiftly and grabbing the knife from the table she cut a piece of cake. 

Agastya watched his mother's every move and when Chaaya tried to feed Yashvi and in the process she turned her rock on her ring that scratched Yashvi's elbow.

Yashvi hissed and Agastya pulled her to him instantly. He glared at his mother who instantly dropped an act, " Ohh, I m so sorry Yashvi, I didn't notice the rock had scratched you. Forgive your mom, my child" she sugar coated and Yashvi believed her instinct that Chaaya was faking the sympathy yet she smiled at her, "Its ok Queen mom, I don't think you would hurt me intentionally. Accidents happen so let it be and I m fine perfectly" she said with a similar fake smile but Chaaya notice something else.

She held Yashvi's hand and sniffed the blood on her elbow, turning her gaze back to Agastya she smiled once again a fake one, " Wow Agastya, I m so proud of you. I was about to have a discussion with you about the mating ceremony but seems you have prepared her well enough to carry your heir, I could smell you in her blood"  she dropped the bomb and Yashvi's face turned pale instantly.

" Watch your words mother, I don't appreciate my personal matters being discussed in public. Lately I see you forget your place and status in the palace. I hope you realize your duties to the kingdom and do nothing that would disrupt the events happening in other's life" he said each words as a impending warning and Chaaya grit her teeth.

" What do you mean by your prepared her brother ? " Harsha used the chance and chimed in to create drift between Agastya and Yashvi.

Agastya snapped his head towards Harsha that shut him up instantly. Agastya knew he was in deep trouble and held Yashvi's hand gently, "shall we get back to our chamber love ?" he asked his voice despearate expecting her to trust him.

Yashvi glanced at Chaaya and Harsha before she smiled at Agastya giving away her hand into his big ones. Agastya held her hand in a tight grip and turned to the courtiers dismissing the gathering before he walked of the dining.

Yashvi was silent all the way and once they were in the chamber he locked the door and sealed the walls immediately. Yashvi stood with her gaze on the floor and Agastya held her chin raising her head to face him.

" What did she mean by preparing to carry your heir ? how is it possible for her to smell you in my blood ?" she questioned him, her words delivered as a whisper.

Agastya tried to touch her cheek but Yashvi backed off glaring at him, " I trust you Agastya but I need answers" she said looking into his eyes.

Agastya rubbed his face cursing profanities against the situation and took a deep breathe looking at her, " All the red velvet cake you had over the years had my blood in it Yashvi "
