Chapter 5
(RK's POV)
I got ready early in the morning. We had to travel to the suitor's kingdom today. I waited aside the carriage for my princess. I wanted to see her, and ask her what was bothering her...
She came down to the garden and slowly walked over to me. She was wearing her sparking tiara and was in a fluffy salmon pink ball gown. Her hair was piled up high on her head. She was beautiful. The queen was with her
"Good morning, Rishabh" The queen said.
"Good morning, your highness." I bowed.
Madhu still seemed upset. She was looking at her feet. I held out my hand.
"Lets go, princess." She smiled a bit.
"Take care of her Rishabh. Make sure she is safe." The queen said.
"No worries. I will protect her with my life."
I helped Madhu into the carriage. She was still silent. I got in with her and we took off.
"Madhu...is everything alright?" I asked right away. I couldn't wait anymore.
"Nothing. I'm nervous." She said, looking away.
"Everything will go well." I said, placing my hand on hers.
(Madhu's POV)
Rishabh laid his hand on mine, to comfort me. I wanted to hold it tighter than ever, for one last time. The carriage hit a bump all of a sudden. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into his arms.
"Sorry Madhu...you could have hit your head." He said.
I wish I could stay in his arms like this forever...I felt lost in them.
(RK's POV)
I liked holding Madhu like this. My beautiful princess in my arms. Protecting her from every harm. I snapped back into my senses and placed her upright again.
"What are you doing Rishabh? She is getting married to someone else..." I thought to myself.
We sat in an awkward silence for a while. The carriage stopped. I looked out of the small window. We had arrived at the palace.
"Madhu...we are here."
"Oh." That was all she said.
I stepped out of the carriage and helped her out. A guard from the palace rushed over.
"Welcome Princess Madhubala." He bowed.
"Thank you." She said.
(Madhu's POV)
The guard led me and Rishabh inside. We found ourselves in a large study, filled with tall bookshelves and millions of books. I stared at the sight.
"Wait here. I will call the prince." He rushed off.
"Sit down Madhu." Rishabh held out a chair for me. I sat down.
A couple minutes later, Prince Sultan walked in. He stared at me for a moment. I felt uncomfortable.
"Welcome Princess." He said, kissing my hand.
I didn't like it. Rishabh didn't seem to like it either, judging from his expression.
He sat down in the chair next to me and continued to stare at me awkwardly. Then he eyed Rishabh.
"You. Please stand outside. I want to talk to the princess in private."
Rishabh didn't say anything, but dutifully walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. But I needed him to be here...
"So princess, where shall we start?" He said, hands folded.
"I have something to tell you." I said quietly.
I should tell him that I love someone else...I can't continue with this relationship.
"I...I...l.love...someone else." I choked out.
Prince Sultan said nothing more. His face changed from calm to furious. His eyes blazed with fury. Oh God...what will happen now?
