(One week later...)

Amaani's P.O.V

I let out one final sob and then I grab the cloth wiping my face. He's gone.

Zacharias, my king is gone. I told him to leave. Am I that stupid now? If it weren't for Kumar coming back at us we would of even had to argue in the first place and we would of been doing just absolutely fine!

I go into the bathroom and take the metal cup scooping up the cold water; pouring it into my hands as I splash it into my face. A feeling of coolness goes throughout me. Ah..a face wash feels good.

I missed you the minute you got into the carriage. The way you looked at me Zacharias was heart wrenching. He is probably getting insulted by his kingdom people and his own parents! What have I done?! I was blinded by anger and rage. Ugh!

I still can't comprehend that he slapped me, I never thought he would do that to me. I look at myself in the old mirror pane. My hand reaches up to cheek that he slapped. The whole sequence plays out again in my mind and I flinch thinking about it. I shake my head trying to forget it. Ah!

I hear a knock on the door and I call out, "What is it?"

The maid outside replies, "Your majesty it is time for your bath. We have got the candles and flower petals as per your request."

I open the door slightly happier. Okay a nice, long, soothing bath should help me to calm and forget about the whole situation for about half an hour right?

"Okay, you may proceed." She nods and goes into the bathroom. I go into the dressing room and remove my sari and get into a towel. I see the maids carrying a large pot of steaming water in a large ceramic pot and carrying it to the bathroom hurriedly. Ahh..lovely warm water. They would of heated it on the fire for about 10 minutes.

"Your majesty, it is ready." I nod in response and then go into the bathroom as I slip into the bath, sighing in response and comfort.

I love baths, they are amazingly relaxing and soothing to the mind and body. For the next half an hour, I sit there thinking to myself and relax.

After half an hour...

Coming out of the bath and wrapping a cloth around myself, I observe my finger tip in fascination, they are shrivelled. A curious thought as to why this phenomenon happens?

Anyway the maids come in and help me choose a half-sari to which I wear with a small frown. Then they place the crown on my head along with other such jewellery and..k-Kajal around my eyes.

He loves Kajal. He always looks at my red lip paint. His hugs were so comforting and relieving. His kiss on my forehead and lips were so wonderful.

However..now he is gone. The amount of regret I feel is immense. I am sorry, my King. I'm so sorry, I let my anger blind me. You were only trying to protect me.

Afterwards, I return to the throne room fresh and I immediately start discussing with some of the councillors about matters in Idukki the for the next two and a half hours, I talk about the situation in Pathanamitta as well as what's happening in Kanya Kumari currently.

I sigh, I miss you Zacharias.. I'm so stupid to make you leave. I want you back. However, I need to finish all this and then I can get you back. I love you, my king.
