*Bhairavi Pov*

"You have been quite all the day. What is going on in your head?" Colton asked while I continued to stare around the land with the decision still hovering over me to make.

"I will ask you a crucial question and will you reply to me with indifference. I mean in a way which you will be with complete honesty." I replied and he nodded in a slow motion.

"Will everyone here accept me to be his with their whole hearts?" I got out the question.

"Not everyone! Few will still oblige with Jacey as she is the Princess and they know her from the time she was a wee baby. However, with the passing time they will accept you when they get to know you more and see you are the one for him." He replied after a few moments.

"Did everyone thought her to be his along with her?" I questioned him.

"Yes! It seems to be the right thing as no one else was around to be a perfect queen of this land other than her as she is already a Princess and even Gavin would be happy if Alastair made his sister queen, which will ensure for the non-repeating of the past." His reply seems to be sensible.

"I need to think even more now." I mumbled hugging myself.

"What is the need to think? He wants you to be his and even his highness and her highness feels the same. As for me, I may would be more happy than Alastair if possible." He uttered with a grin.

I smiled back, but our attention got dragged towards the shouts of the people who are running towards the huts with worry making us dash near to them.

"The vessel got the fire." Someone screamed.

What vessel? I thought and then gasped, realizing Alastair and few men left for the war with a pirate ship in the morning.

"Where?" Colton questioned them and they all pointed towards the shore near to this place.

We ran to the place while those few people left to intimate the King and Queen. When we reached there, we saw a few warriors reached the land fully drenched in water.

I glanced around and saw that he is no where to be found. Colton walked away from me to help the warriors while I I tried to look everywhere for him and in a few minutes the King and Queen reached the place along with Jacey.

"How did it happen?" The King questioned the men who have returned.

"We won the war with the pirates and turned around after warning to return, but they sent a fire to our vessel making it burn. We all jumped into the water to save ourselves." One man replied.

"I cannot find Alastair and Gavin but remaining men are safe." Colton uttered, making all of us stun in our place.

No! This is not true and he needs to be here to listen to my decision and I need to tell him about his possession over my heart.

I covered my hands and tried to pray to not take away another thing and maybe even the last thing at present which I love from me. I may not be able to bear it this time.

"I can see them." Those four words gave me the hope and I glanced up to see Alastair dragging Gavin along with him from the water.

"He is fine, but just lost his consciousness." Alastair uttered glancing at the King and Queen.

Before I could think what I was doing, I ran near to him and threw myself at him making him stun, but I didn't leave the hold I have on him making him hold me back.

After a few moments I released him and he glanced at my eyes before brushing the tears away, making me realize that I have been even crying.

"I am more than fine." He mumbled caressing my cheek.

"I.. thought that you will never be able to hear me say that..." I trailed off with a hiccup at the back of my throat.

"That?" he asked, holding my face.

"That you too have my heart with you." I replied and he gave a look of ecstatic before slowly leaning to brush my lips with his but stopped in the middle.

"I need to know that you are really here." I whispered and hearing that he placed them on mine.

Releasing me he mockingly whispered "What did I just do, Bhairavi? I ruined you infront of everyone."

"I do not mind that." I whispered back and stepped away realizing we have an audience staring at us and my gown is wet with the part of hugging him.

"After changing my apparel, I will notify everything that happened at the vessel." He mumbled glancing at the King and Queen and dragged me away from the people after the King gave his nod.

"What is the hurry?" I questioned him when he continued to drag ignoring the looks thrown at us by all the people.

"You will see." He replied and started unlocking the door.

"If it is again regarding the crashing of the lips, then please don't mind me." I mumbled stepping inside.

"That will be just the beginning." He mumbled before doing it, but then moved his face away to pester them along my face and then the jaw making my breath hitch.

"Alastair!" I whispered, trying to push him away, but I couldn't with his hold and with the affection he is showing.

"I never thought you will accept to it so soon. And to know about it infront of everyone makes it even more perfect." He whispered at my neck and sucked.

"I just hope no one will think bad about my behavior." I whispered back hoping he stops this torture.

"They don't have the dare to and I want you." He mumbled along the shoulder travelling down and I tried more to pull his head up.

"I am glad that I didn't fall for any princess or royalty." His statement made my eyes open and gave more strength to move him away.

"What do you mean? What is that you have against the likes of them?" I questioned him.

"What is right with them. The Princesses are pompous giving away the aura that they are the only one perfect and everyone are low before them and then the royalty is another matter which will be agreed by everyone in this land. They impose the rules without understanding that every place is different to be treated as one." He explained and I held his head in my palms not allowing his lips to touch anywhere.

"Maybe you are wrong to have a judgement on someone with the only person you know as Princess." I pointed out.

"No! I met a few more through the journey will all of us while the wars and I can say that I would rather be alone than spend a life with a Princess or in royalty." He uttered and leaned to claim by lips and I let him to let his words get processed in my head.

"You need to go and meet the King and Queen to think about the damage and deal with it." I uttered stepping back and he nodded before taking a new apparel.

Without intimating me he started removing his clothes making me shriek and turn away to stare at the other side. He laughed at my reaction and I tried to push the image of him nearly nude away from my mind.

"You could have told me." I mumbled folding my arms to my chest.

"Why should I? You have every right to watch me and I have the same with you." He mumbled after changing stepping near to me.

"You are a fool if you think that is true." I retorted turning around.

"We will see. But for now I will have to leave." He uttered and left the hut after giving me a long kiss.

I stepped out of the hut after changing my own apparel and walked near to the water to have peace for a few moments.

I glanced at the sky and saw that it is getting dark but no one walked here in search of me as everyone are busy with the accident that occurred in the morning.

"I know you both always told me that I am destined to be the ruler and no one is more deserving than me for the position." I started staring at the sky imagining my parents to be there.

"However, I found someone who is making me feel that I am at home. I haven't given in from the beginning with a thought that I have a responsibility to take care of." I continued with a frown.

"That doesn't mean that I can rule only a particular land of people right? If this is the place where both my heart and my duty can be done with happiness, then I do hope that giving away the duty gave by you is not a sin." I mumbled closing my eyes.

"These people need more direction than ours, Mother. You both along with Council help will ensure that it will get a good ruler without my returning back. From this moment I will even forget that I am a Princess." I uttered opening my eyes and turned away.

"This is for the person who loves me and I feel that to be the most important thing than a title of Princess." I mumbled stepping near the hut and walked inside.

After some time, I felt Alastair joining me and I turned around to see him smiling at me making me return the gesture. He explained that the work for making a new vessel will be begin from tomorrow morning before the pirates can return back.

"Colton will not be guarding you from tomorrow." He mumbled making me frown.

"Why is that?" I questioned him.

"You are a part of this land and you do not need an eye on you. How is it to be part of this land?" he questioned.

"I am honored and will be here with you for the matter of our hearts." I replied and he smiled.

"So, you will not want to leave from here?" he questioned again.

"No! There is no need for me to be anywhere than here." I replied, snuggling into him before wishing for the blessings from my parents and forgiveness from our people.

*Council Pov*

"We have waited for long and now we have to look for a ruler deserving for the Agatha." One of them pointed out.

"Maybe she is no more alive." Another mumbled when the elder member has a negative response to the suggestion.

"We can't let the people live on their own or they will become an outsider." Another one pointed out.

"Then search for one of the kingdoms who are the acquaintances with the King and Queen of Agatha. By that if the Princess ever returns, then the people will not give a rebelling for us and they will settle for her to another position." Elder one suggested and they all accepted it because they know the people of Agatha will do anything for the family who took the care for them like no one in this world and will always show the respect towards that family.

"I have one in mind who will be good for the Kingdom." The elder suggested and they all nodded for his suggestion too.
