#After few weeks#

*Alastair Pov*

I woke up with the feel of her clinging to me making me excited within the passing of a few moments. Before I felt a little thought of wanting her and know I shouldn't compromise a person who doesn't want to but now even after all these weeks I still want her.

Groaning to myself, I moved her slightly along with kissing on her shoulder allowing my lips to place on her skin, but she stopped holding my head saying "Don't even think about it. I am tired so let me sleep."

"But I am aroused." I whispered in her ear and tried to move her.

"I know that! Go and have a bath and you will be fine." She mumbled with sleepiness in her tone.

"I can't! Without training we don't do baths." I pointed out which she already knows.

"If you cannot then train them like this only. But now I am saying no so it is no." She said in a strict tone and I sighed because I shouldn't force her.

After having a long bath at the men's side of the water part, I walked near the training ground to see Colton and Gavin stopping themselves from laughing at me.

When Gavin and Jacey served their punishment everything went well. Gavin apologized for all the things he said and did along with Jacey. They moved on with their lives and explained that they are fine with me being the future ruler.

"What is it?" I asked them with irritation.

"Poor Alastair! Like all of us even you can't win over her." Gavin teased and laughed along with Colton.

"You both shouldn't be talking about my personal life." I warned them, but it had no impact on them making me sigh.

"What?" Bhairavi asked when they continued with the laughable expressions, even at the food place when she joined us to have her food.

"Nothing!" I answered for them while throwing the glares at them.

"How was the second time bath in the morning time, Alastair?" Colton asked and glanced at her while she had a confused look for a few moments but then realization struck her.

I thought she will blush or look away from us, but surprising all of us she burst out laughing and asked "Even I want to know, Alastair."

"Bhairavi!" I warned her, but she gave an innocent look and then I felt a leg over mine from under the table.

"Yes?" she asked with the innocent tone and moved her leg slowly making me choke with the food in my mouth.

"You are getting late for the training." I pointed out.

"Am I now?" she asked with a smug look and I slowly pleaded with my eyes not wanting to have another shower before the dusk.

"I am leaving." She mumbled, standing up and stepped near me giving me a peck and left.

"Where is Jacey?" I asked them looking around not finding her.

"She is in the process of selecting a groom for her." Gavin replied smiling.

"Even I am on that list by the way." Colton mumbled making Gavin punch him.

"I will put a good word for you if you want." I mumbled smiling at him.

"Nah! I am on Bhairavi team so if I am hitched to Jacey then I will have nothing to gossip with her." He uttered making Gavin and I look at each other.

"What? She is an awesome acquaintance with a knowledge. You all are wasting time by not knowing many things from her. I will learn so much from her that I will be better than what I am now. And I will be the godfather of your children." He added smiling at us.

"You have more plans than us about our future children." I mumbled, shaking my head and he gave an eye roll.

"The horses are ready to be sailed for their place." I noted the King and he nodded, giving the permission for set to sail them in the boat we newly built.

"Send the people who will not let the others bargain for less price." He suggested and I nodded.

"What about the food grains? We have got excess of them as per the Queen." Bhairavi suggested.

"We are already thinking about them." King uttered smiling at her and we continued to talk about the things with which we get the money for the people in this land for the necessities except the food and shelter with Bhairavi assisting me.

"You are not going, are you?" Bhairavi asked when we stepped out.

"No! When they see me they feel that I am there to fight so I always stay back. The horses brought from Palmer are now in good shape so all of them are being sold." I replied and continued to pull her to the barn.

"But I have another matter to say to you." I added before placing a black horse before her and her eyes widened.

"For me?" She questioned and I nodded with which she hugged me tightly.

"This is a beauty." She mumbled caressing the horse.

"And you will need these." I mumbled placing the clothing which will suit for the riding.

"You are the best husband I have ever had." She mumbled and I glanced at her in shock with which she burst out laughing.

"I am jesting, my only husband." She whispered pulling my cheeks.

"There are people here." I mumbled glancing around.

"Really? Someone became the shy one here." She continued to tease and I gave her an eye roll.

I felt for the few moments that maybe I have rushed into this matrimony, but after these weeks I do not think I will be happy with any other option than this.

After a few days during our ride near to the water shore together, we saw a small vessel travelling near us making both of us on alert. I took out my sword while she glared at me making me remember my not accepting of her having a sword for herself.

When a man stepped on the land I saw that he is familiar and is a part of this land. He glanced at us and smiled before stepping near the person who is at the border to look after the intruders.

"Can you take him to the King?" The man asked, gesturing the person who stepped from the vessel.

I nodded and we three walked near to the King mounting down from the horse. When we entered I saw King having a relief expression on his face.

"I am glad that you have returned safely. Do you have the news?" King asked and the man nodded, but didn't uttered anything glancing at us.

"He needs to know." King mumbled and the man nodded.

"I found them, but she has already left the world by the time I met them. And he... recently passed away." He mumbled glancing down.

"Who are they?" I questioned the man.

"Your parents!" The King replied, making me stiff and Bhairavi slowly pressed her hand into mine.

"So they are not alive." I mumbled nodding to myself.

"That is not all that happened." The man uttered, making all of us frown.

"What else happened?" The King asked him.

"The path to this land, which is hidden from everyone has been put out... by him." He replied and now even the King got stunned along with The Queen.

"Before the council." He added, making my blood boil and I can feel myself with a wish kill the father of mine but to my bad luck he is already dead.

"You have been of great help." The King uttered glancing at the man and he nodded before stepping outside.

"Alastair!" King called and I glanced at him as per my duty.

"You are dismissed from today's and for the next day duties." He ordered making me nod at him.

"Take care of him." He mumbled to her and she nodded, but I left her hand before turning away and left the place.

After a few moments when I sat on my cot, I heard her entering the hut and the closing of the door. I didn't glance at her, but she knelt before me.

"It is better to stay away from me, Bhairavi. I will not be able to control my actions." I mumbled hoping she leaves me alone for some time but again do not want her away.

"The moment we are locked in this wedlock you have every right to show me each feeling of yours and I have the right to be with you. We are to be with each other forever and we cannot escape from it even for a second. Just do not push me away and believe that I am here for you. If you want to cry, I will here to brush them away after you finished. If you want to scream, I will be here to soothe the burn in your throat." She uttered making me stare into her eyes.

"Warriors do not cry." I whispered before pulling her up and made her fall on me while lying on the cot.

"He has not done even a single thing right before his death too." I whispered while she brushed my hair.

"Are you not feeling sad for his death?" She questioned and I shook my head.

"I will never forgive a person who endangers the life of the people belonging to this land. Even they are my birth parents, they will be nothing but traitors in my eyes." I replied closing my eyes.

"Sleep! I will be here when you open those beautiful eyes of yours." She mumbled making my lips twitch.

"Men do not have beautiful eyes." I pointed out.

"But their lips are beautiful when they release a smile." She retorted pecking them.

"You are the reason for them." I whispered with sleep consuming me slowly.

"I better be." She warned and snuggled still laying over me before we both let the sleep consume us.

*Council Pov*

"We can see that you are having a difficulty with ruling Agatha." Elder one uttered glancing at Vali, the King of the Tanika which is the second best Kingdom after Agatha and the new ruler of Agatha.

"Yes! The people do not want to accept anyone other than the person related to their Kingdom's royal." Vali uttered with not a surprised tone as he already guessed it would be in that way for the People of Agatha.

"But the Princess is no more alive." Another council uttered.

"The good matter is that the people of Agatha are not putting out the matter regarding the changes happening in their Kingdom. It would cause havoc." Few councils pointed out.

"Their Ruler always made it clear to not put themselves in danger for the things they do not like." Elder said proudly which he always was.

"You are summoned here to do an assignment." He added.

"What is it?" Vali questioned.

"We have found the path to the land which takes us to the outsiders who are creating havoc by fighting the few kingdoms near to their lands. If we leave them, then it will be difficult for us to control the small Kingdoms who are in fear." One council started.

"You need to go there with needed army and take over them with a war. Then the people in Agatha will accept you." Another finished.

"Why would they?" Vali asked with confusion.

"As per few people from Palmer, we know recently that the men who drugged the people of the kingdom and took Ramsey in their clutches are from that land. There is another rumor that Princess is the one who took his life. This would mean the people of that land have taken her and they must have harmed her already. So, by avenging for her death you will be the new ruler of Agatha." Elder explained with the anger on that land people with a thought of harm felt by the Princess.

"It would be my honor to avenge for her death." Vali uttered because even when he do not know her well other than few introductions, but her father was a guide for him when his parents died which made him ruler at a young age. This was the time to repay and by taking care of his people.
