Harry's pov

Harry you are looking at that slapped mark from past half an hour, come on get over it...havard my colleague told me as I was inspecting my cheeks in in the mirror . It had been 2 days since that incident but still it's fresh and engraved deep in my mind

Get over it ? Are you serious ? A stupid Indian princess slapped a reputed British officer like me and you tell me to get over it ..I said staring hardly at him

People are laughing at my back , I have become a joke in front of this fellow Indians...I can't let it go that easily ...I have to show them who the real harry style is ..I said

So what r u going to do now ? He asked eating his first bite of pancake from the plate

I want to marry her....I said smirking

He nearly choked on his food and coughed roughly before gulping the water from glass near him .

U r joking right ? He said coughing once again

Does it look like I'm joking ? I asked sending him a death glare

But why do you want to marry her when she slapped and embarrassed you ..he asked with a frown

Exactly..that's why , she embarrassed me in front of those indian beggers and now I'm going to show her whom she had messed with..I promise you she will regret that slap for the rest of her life .

That means you want to marry her just for avenging her ? He asked

Yeah ....I want to set an example for everyone to never dare to mess with a British , her life will be an open example to the citizens of what hell actually mean.

But Harry ...do u think the king will agree to it and what about the British army ? I don't think they will allow

As far as British army is concerned I think that they will surely like my decision , because we will growing fear in minds of indians by showing them how their princess challenged an British officer and what she got in return , her ruined life will be enough to stop any moments that any indian aspire to start against us

And about king ...don't u worry ,I know how to convince my royal bloody in -laws...I said laughing making havard to laugh loudly with me before giving me a big high five.

Nandini's pov

No way !!!! I will not marry him ..I said screaming at my father who just told me this unfortunate news that Harry wants to marry me

It's britisher's order Nandini...and I don't know what to do ...he said with hands on his head

What do u mean? Its my life baba , who are they to order us on my personal life...I said looking at him

U should have thought that before slapping him , always tries to be oversmart , look where it got us now ..my brother growled at me

Shut up...I yelled at him , shame on you being a future king you are saying this ...I said making him send me a death glare

My father didn't say anything and he just sat on the floor and began sobbing loudly , we both looked at him stunned , we have never seen our father so helpless and weak

Baba....we both said in unison and rushed towards him

Baba...why are you sitting on the floor , u r a king ..get up please I said with tears in my eyes

I don't deserve to be a king sweetheart , I am so incapable of protecting my kingdom and my family , I just should die ..that's better

Baba..please don't say that..you have cared and protected this kingdom for so long , it's because of you that this kingdom became so happy and prosperous .

He just shook his head in a no and for the first time in my life , I saw my dad crying

They have said that if I don't get you married to Harry , they will abduct our kingdom's young girls and do whatever they want with them...he said still sobbing

My eyes widened at what he just said , those devil's should rot in hell , how dare they even think of getting their filthy hands on our girls ..

I don't know what to do..I can't let my daughter suffer but on the other hand , I can't let my kingdom's girls life be miserable ...God why are you doing this to me ...he screamed

I just sat there like a rock for some time  processing everything properly in my mid before I finally came to my senses

I will marry him.... , I said wiping my tears making my father and brother's head shot in my direction to look at me

What ? No ...I will not let you do that ..never , he's marrying you just to take revenge of that slap , I am not going to push you in that fire ....I said loudly

We don't have any other choice do we baba ? I asked looking at him

I will not be able to look at myself if anything happens to those girls because of me ...it's my fault that I slapped him so it's better that I suffer

Bu- he was about to say when I interuppted

There's no buts to it baba , I have made my decision , I know he will make my life miserable and even kill me , but I'm ready for all of that for my kingdom ...I said getting up

You know baba... I always wanted to do something for my people and if destiny has decided it this way , let it be , I'm ready to sacrifice my happiness for my people

My father looked at me with tears flowing continuously from his eyes making me cry too

Come on baba , and never sit in the floor again , I will never allow anyone to let your name down ...I said offering my hand to help him get up

He just stared at me admiringly for few seconds before he accepted my hand and got up ..he then stared at me with so much sadness

I'm sorry...i couldn't do anything for you ...please forgive me ...He said kissing my forehead and crying

It's not your fault baba...don't think much about it..I love u and I'm so proud of u...he said looking at me with pure love

And then the news spreaded like a fire that an Indian princess was going to marry a britisher , the britishers saw this as a big victory while we as our biggest failure . Marriage preparations started though no one was really happening and on the inside I was breaking down into pieces ..the person whom I slapped is now going to be my husband , I never imagined that the slap will destroy my whole future but the damage was now done even though it was done for right reasons , I had to be the one to suffer and I knew this is just the starting and there is much much more to come....
