Princess Nandini's POV

"Your highness, it's not appropriate to be close like this. Don't forget we are still in public" I said glaring at him. What's with this man? Always touching me here and there as he please? Does he even consider that anyone could see us?

"Oh so you want it in private?" He smirked. I knew he was a bastard pervert. How could I be so blind to see real face?

"Don't joke with me your highness. You and I we both know what I am talking about. You are a smart person so please don't take such a naive facade because it doesn't suit you at all"

"We have have a good talk about that later princess. For now I want my answers"

"What answers?" I asked. "whatever I was taking to Prince Harish was my personal matter. Why is that your highness has the heart to dig in?"

"Personal matters?" He raised an eyebrow. "For a man to have another woman in waiting to wed and to have some kind of relationship is not appropriate for a reputed princess like you. Besides there's nothing personal when it comes to you" he leaned in closing the distance of our faces "whatever related to you is my concern. So it will be better if you just answer to my question or we can stay in this position, it is the least I care about" he smirked.

My anger blasted in my chest "how can you be this bastard?" I cursed even before I could stop myself. Oppos it was the wrong move because his face hardened instantly.

"Bastard?" He laughed "you were singing the different song last night. Shall I remind you how you were moaning beneath me when I was ravishing your perfectly built breast-" I closed his mouth before he could finish. This man is so vulgar to say such thing so carelessly. I couldn't believe my own eyes that the well known Crown Prince of Minnagara will have such dirty mouth.

"How could you say such thing? What if anyone heard you? Do you want to scream at everyone?" I glared at him.

He smirked. I knew it, he did it intentionally. He grabbed my wrist and removed my hand "do you want me to do that? I don't mind at all. In that way, everyone will know whom do you belong to and when that happens no one would dare to approach to you"

My eyes widened "how can you claim me as yours so freely? Your highness I have never agreed to it"

"It's just a amout of words to be said. Your body has all the reaction I needed. And I don't think I reall need to show you that"

What kind of sin I did for which I have encountered with this man? I was better off not knowing him at all. But since this man barged in my life, everything is going wrong. How I am going to survive with such a attitude?

"Your highness, I don't understand how I have offended you that you are behind me in this way? As far I know I haven't committed any sin towards you" I felt  helpless.

"Haven't committed any sin? Dear princess you stabbed my chest and made me bleed. Do you think my blood has no worth that I will let you slip by just like that?"

I gasped "that was an accident your highness, and you know why I did that. It was with the intention of saving Gurnoor. If I knew it was you behind the bushes I wouldn't have shot you with the arrow.  Your highness it was a mistake, I never had such intention to cause you any harm" I tried to explain. If he was thinking about that matter then I guess ai could just clear his doubt.

"Whether you had the intention or not, it happened already and you have done it personally. Do you think you can escape it? Since you made me bleed you are tied with debt and in this life no matter what you won't able to clear it. The only way to reflect is giving yourself to me"

I looked into his eyes and knew he was determined. He is absolute about his intentions and I know I couldn't get away with it because he wouldn't let me at all. He want me to pay the price.

"Now tell me what you were whispering to Harish?" His question pulled me back to reality.

"Huh?" I was dumbfounded for a second. He raised an eyebrow clearly giving a warning lokk.

I shook my head "it's nothing, I was just reminding him he should get back his fiancee and shouldn't bother me anymore. Even if there was any triangle, it was all in the past"

"If that's the case then it's good" he nodded "but you were too close for my taste. Next time you should keep distance with other males. It will be better if you don't have any kind of interaction with the opposite gender at all"

I fought the urge to roll my eyes "your highness, it's my life and I can decided what I should do or not. I don't understand why it has become your biggest problem? Whether I talk to another man or not what it has anything to do with you?"

Instantly his eyes darkened and his grip on my tightened "looks like you still didn't get my point. You need to understand this fact that you are mine" he leaned down and whispered in my ear "don't test my jealousy Princess, it won't do any good at the end"

I gasped. His hot breath was fanning the skin of my ear. His voice sounds dark and commanding. For a moment I was speechless and stunned. He just said jealousy didn't he? He was jealous of Prince Harish? I looked at him with open mouth. A great hero like him to get jealous because of simple matter is kind of shocking. If the situation was not tight so would have laughed out loud.

"Your highness, it's not humourous enough" I told him.

"You think I was joking around princess?"

I pursed my lips not replying him anymore. He could think whatever he want. Besides since we met this man is just throwing his dominancy on me.

"Your highness how long do you plan to hold me? The servants around here would start to gossip" I hissed at him. He is really careless but I couldn't do that. My reputation was already trained and I don't want to add more oil to it. Surprisingly he let go of me and I took a sigh of relief. At least he understood and have some morals left in him.

"Since you are fearing about it I should help you to dissipate  your biggest fear. I will talk to his majesty about it" he turned around but his words made my heart jump in shock. What is he talking about? Before he could go further I grab hold of his arm making him stop. He turned to look at me. A smirk was playing in his lips.

"Your highness, what are you going to talk to father?" I asked looking at him.

"That I have your aggreement over our marriage matter" he replied like it was simple word. My eyes widened.

"When did I agree? You can't take decision on behalf of me your highness. This is not fair" I shook my head.

"Since you are so eager I must tell you this. You should know one thing everything is fair in love and war. Besides even if you refuse to say that word of aggreement throught your mouth I have felt it personally. I felt how much your body craves for much touch and how it responds like a obedient one whenever I touch it. Are you sure you still want to deny it?"

I gritted my teeth "this is not even a proper reason.  Your highness it's just a foolish plan. I have told you I don't want to marr-" before my words could finish I felt him kissing me. My eyes widened at his sudden action and tried to push him away but that bastard took the chance to grabb hold of my hands and pushed it back behind my back while he ravish my lips. He sucked my lips hard biting it in the middle. Forcefully he pushed his tongue inside tasting me. I moaned in protest but by hand are being hold by him making my body surrender to his torture. Once he felt satisfied he pulled away.

"You might guess my answer princess. Whether it's today or tomorrow you will agree to it. So I am fixing things today to avoid future problems" he said and before I had the chance to reply he left already. I felt my lips were tingling and swollen already. This man is abusive. I glared at his retreating back.

"Princess?" Hanna appeared behind me "are you alright?"

"I am fine, I was just..." I don't know what to say now. It's hard to explain what I am feeling right now.

Crown Prince Manik's POV

"It's such a good thing that you have suggested this. It has been long since I went for hunting. Besides while staying in Minnagara, King Hemang and I planned for it but because of some matters the planning stayed behind" King Omkar said.

"Your majesty since father has promised but couldn't fulfill it , I will accompany you during the hunt. In that way his words will also be kept and you will enjoy good hunting too" I said with a nod.

"Great, great" King Omkar nodded "since Prince Harish is also here I would like to invite him too. If he was left alone it will be not giving him any face"

I nodded "as your majesty wishes. I have no problem with it. The matter is letting your majesty enjoy a good hunting. Other than that who joins doesn't matter all"

"Good, since that's the case then when do you want to leave for it?"

"I will keep that for your majesty to decide. Whenever your majesty feels right we can go out. I also have the desire to enjoy hunting in Sagala"

"That sounds appropriate. It is tomorrow then"

I nodded "your majesty really eager for this hunting?"

"I have heard from Hemang that you are good at it. And hunting with you is really enjoyable. I have been busy lately because of the court matters. But now that you are here I can finally go out for some time"

"I am glad I can help you. I also want to take some good experience from Sagala before returning" I smiled. King Omkar is really a generous person. He takes liking in every simple things. But I don't know whom does his daughter took her stubbornness from. She is completely different from her father's attitude.

While we were talking a maid informed that Queen was here. Then the Queen and Soma walked in while few maids followed them along.

"I heard your majesty is here along with the Crown prince. Today there was new sweets which made in the kitchen. So thought since it was a happy moment, everyone should taste it" The Queen smiled warmly avd gestured the maids to serve the sweets.

"It is called pinch Mysore pak, I hope everyone likes it" Soma said with a smile. I stared at the brown- yellow square sweet on the plate. It looks good but I don't feel like eating at all. But if I don't eat it, it will be disrespecting the Queen since she was one who brought it here. To give her respect I tore a small piece and tasted it. The flavour melted in my mouth giving the sweet texture.

"It's really good, I appreciate the dessert" I smiled.

"Your highness has good sense in taste" Queen nodded with a smile.

"Did you really tasted it?" Rana whispered in my ear. "I hardly believe it since you don't like sweets"

"Shut up, don't make me beat you here" I hissed.

He smirked "you are so moody, are you in periods too?"

I rolled my eyes and chose to ignore him. It's note better not to talk with him.

"Tomorrow we will be going for hunting. The Crown Prince has suggested this event and since it has been days I went for some activities I felt this is a great chance" King Omkar said.

"It's a great idea your majesty" Queen  Saanvi nodded "since you all are going then what about meal?" She glanced at her daughter "your majesty let Soma accompany you all. She will take care of the meal so after hunting, you won't get exhausted"

"There's no problem" King Omkar waved his hand.

I looked at them. I pondered for a while before fixing my gaze on Princess Soma "Princess Soma do you know how to use weapon?" I asked her. She first looked startled then looked disappointed.

"I apologise your highness, I have no such knowledge"

"Oh, isn't it great princess knows it? She even showed her skill during the fight in Minnagara" I said and turned to King Omkar "your majesty why don't I invite great princess to join this hunting too. Her moves are quite impressive"

"Since this is the case I have no problem" he nodded and ordered someone "go inform the great princess she will be accompanying us in hunting. Ask her to make the preparation"

"Your majesty is really generous who gave birth to such a breave princess" I said.

King Omkar smiled "it's my fortune" he nodded.

I smirked inwardly. It's indeed a fortune to have such woman in life. This hunting is really going to be interesting. I can't wait for it anymore.

"You looked so happy, I must say you have played the cards so well" Rana said once we walked out.

"You talk too much"

"Too much?" He smirked "it's nothing in front of your good plan dear friend. I never knew you are this crafty"

"It's because you were dumb all these years"

"You are not funny" he rolled his eyes and  stopped talking. From the corner of my eyes. I saw Nandini in the garden with her maids. Suddenly a maid went to her and said something which made her frown first then her expression changed into anger. I smirked looks like she got the news of hunting. Seeing her expression made my chuckle.

Oh did she think she will be able to escape while I went on hunting. No matter what I will drag her with me, wherever I go. And this is her fate.
