लूटा है दिल को तेरी अदा ने, ये कैसा मुझपे जादू किया
Veeransh took an opportunity to get out from that stupid ball, he retired from the back entrance, Still his face coated with a mask as he didn't want to risk his image of being king.
He was revealed as a reliable and well mannered emperor. He blew a whistle, his white horse care running to him, he smirked.
"Were you bored Maximus?" He ruffled his fur, as a smile lingered on his face, before placing his foot on the handle and sitting astride on him, he held the rope and gave him a sign to move, but his eyes darted in a particular direction in amazement.
He saw a lady riding the horse too with grace, he glanced at her clearly. She was dressed in a gown, it must be a princess he thought, but again he was impressed that thought she was running out like him, his lower lip pulled out his wonderment.
He never thought he would witness something like this, subconsciously he went behind her but halted in between as four males gathered around her, and it didn't take him any time to guess that they were gonna manhandle her.
He groaned in anger, he had a sudden urge to remove his mask and teach them lesson, he fist his knuckles and he composed himself went chose to handle this without creating a scene, as if the guy and girl are to be seen alone in such a place they have to get married anyhow that's that tradition in Royals.
And being a king it's his duty to protect ladies from these assholes, He somehow knew this Duke was going to get punished if he even lay hand on her, he took a deep breath before speaking out.
"Do we have a problem here? He inquired as his eyes lingered at her hazel orbs, which were on display, her face shrouded with a mask, he has sudden urge to peek at her face, what Beauty she's is hiding he thought, as her Hazel eyes didn't help but attracted him, he jumped down from his horse and strolled towards them in two strides.
"Do you know her?" The Duke asked him politely. Veeransh scratched his temple, and glanced at her. She was trying to get down from the horse but finding it difficult because of her gown.
He hauled closer to her, she frowned when he offered his hand towards her, She peeked at him and then at his hand.
"I can help myself don't need to bother" Maithili denied as she chose not to trust any stranger, she won't let him touch her, but at the same time she was finding it hard to get down, she had an idea if she jump done she would land up floor making fool out of herself, a audible sigh escaped from her lips.
"Yeah I can see how you are helping yourself Princess " He mocked her and forced a smile, he maintained his calm, despite the rage forming in him scrutinizing her attitude. No one ever behaved with her, he wished he could tell her who he is, but decided against it.
She peeked at his outstretched hand, she knew that she needed help, and didn't find him a creep , so she steadily placed her palm on his let out hand, and a sense of spark hit them, both snapped their eyes at Each Other.
Veeransh placed her holded hand on his broad shoulder, heeded by the other one too.
Hold tight" He whispered to her near her ear, she felt her hair on her nape rising, she clutched his shoulders, with their eyes locked, he lifted her up from her waist a gasp escaped from her lips, he dropped her down swiftly, he was too close to her, she could feel her heart accelerated with the unknown man near to her.
He moved back, but his heart beated sense of Euphoria crept inside him, he never felt something like this before her hazel eyes tempted him. She gestured to him to move with a motion of her hand.
"Are you lost Princess?" He asked her his voice turned out to be low and smoky. She clutched her hand in fist as he kept standing close to her.
"No, I'm pretty sure that the best runaway route is this way, I appreciate your concern though" Maithili responded, rolling her eyes, signaling him to move, as it was making her furious now.
"Did she just roll her eyes at me? Veeransh Rathore? The Emperor" The thought crossed in his mind and it made him burn with fury.
"Suniye aap Jo bhi hain, rajkumaar or Nawab sahab but please hatiye warna mere hath se lag jayega Apko" She warned him, gritting her teeth, as she fist his palm all prepared to smack him.
"Listen whoever you are, Prince or duke, but please move aside orelse I might hit you."
"I'm remorseful" He informed her in a low tone, leaning a bit down, her eyes dilated in shock as he placed his arms Around her waist she jerked her head to his side.
He warned her beforehand as he was a gentleman he would never touch any woman without her consent but her safety was more crucial at this point.
She fumed at his audacity to hold her without her permission she attempted to come out from his grip glaring at him.
"I was finding you only my Princess " He said out loud enough to hear the boys.
"But I don't even know you huh?" She mocked him as Maithili pinched his hand which kept on her waist, he was alarmed as she was appearing to be distinct, as another girl would hand in her position she would have enjoyed it.
"Princess I was waiting so long for you, let's get you inside" He told her his voice loud enough, clasping her hand, erecting his face with a forced smile, and eyed her to obey him, she had the urge to kick his balls but she composed herself according to the situation.
"You chose him over me I'm a fucking Duke Princess" The Duke snarled moving closer to her, Veeransh stood in front him, covering her posture with his jaw clenched in wrath.
"That's none of your concern who I have chosen, because I might be a Princess but my attitude is another level and a Duke like you won't be able to regulate it" She retorted but in a way which doesn' feel disrespectful standing beside Veeransh and he engraved by her response.
Maithili just spoke out controlling her temper,
she answered back as no one was there who would notice her, and she wouldn't have cared, if the princess tag would have not been on her but since she is and she didn't cross her line as princess.
Veeransh tried to hide his smirk but failed, which was observed by her. She gave him a hard look, and tried to remove her hand from his hold.
"The next time I see you near her, There Won't be any next second in you life, you'll be under 6 ft ground" Veeransh warned him, as he placed his hand around his neck, attempting to choke him, his voice dangerously low at the end, his gray eyes dark.
Which made them terrified as the same time she tilted her head quizzically as why he's attempting to save her.
"Shall we Princess?" He asked, offering her his elbow which he never did in his entire life, if his grandmother would have seen it,she would have passed out for sure he thought.
Maithili frowned at him but she caught the sight of Duke staring at her curiously. If she doesn't leave inside with him, he might spread this as a rumor and she would never want that she took a breath.
And lift her hand placing it around his arm, He gives her a nod she motions him to stroll instead with their eyes locked they sauntered inside.
She was about to move away when she felt a tug on her hand and she opened her eyes wide as he yanked her closer she banged with his hard chest she felt her heart skip a beat as he leaned his head down, she could feel his thumping heart beat.
"Yeh Kya harkat hai? Do you have a death wish? She let out angrily glaring at him with her Hazel eyes as She pushed him and turned to leave.
"What is this behavior"
He grasped her forearm and yanked her making her back hit with his chest she gasped as she felt his mouth need her ear, her broanded with their closeness.
"I'm sure Princess you are too eager to get away from me, even I'm not inquisitive to dance with you, but that Duke is peeking at us only" He whispered her his warm breath fell on her nape she shuddered his touch did wonders on her body.
At the same time, he felt his muscles getting tensed as she was too close to him, he could smell her Rosey scent, which drew him towards her, And there she fitted perfectly in his arms.
He twirled her, pulled her gently close, She unwantedly placed her arms around his neck, his strong odor hit her nostrils which she seemed to like, they moved their bodies with that music, She raised her head to see him staring at her already.
He placed her palm straight beside her face, She slowly placed her gloves including palm against his hand, and she noticed how their hands fitted perfectly. He circled her around and caught her back in his arms.
"Don't you think I deserve gratitude? " He began the conversation which unlike him to do, as they faced each other, she chuckled and shook her head.
"Your Gratitude under my heels" She responded he got alarmed as he thought she would be thankful but she had a different attitude which made him amazed as he thought girls like her don't exist in this Royalty.
"Such a thankless girl you are, I just helped you Some minutes ago, remember? Miss Black horse" He mocked her with a slight smirk on his face, Maithili chuckled and rolled her eyes at him.
"Help? I never asked for any, you did that by your own choice , so don't expect me to give you credit Mr. White horse" She retorted back and shrugged. He glanced at her a bit taken back and shook his head pressing his both lips.
"And I know why you helped just to impress me right, and then show off to be my Knight Prince charming in that dark who saved a girl" She taunted him as she had expected this simply.
"If I wanted to show off then I would have told everyone what happened back there to be a hero in their eyes" He responded and she got a lot in thoughts as he could have done.
"And I have your secret's safe with me, Do you want me to inform everyone that a Royal Princess was running away from this ball" He asked, raising his one his lips curled into a smirk.
"Try doing so, but before that I would snap you with this," She warned him he frowned as she peeled off her pin from her hair and placed the tip on his left abdomen.
He was flabbergasted by her move she peered her eyes with her face clenched in fury, and surprisingly it didn't angered him but allured him she had courage and he seems to be enjoying this.
They were at a corner and no one observed this, but his Royal guard got alarmed seeing a lady attacking their king, He moved forward but was stopped.
As Veeransh caught a glimpse of him moving forward, he showed his hand, halting him and signaling him to move back with the motion of his two fingers.
"Try attacking me Princess , I don't think you'll be able to see next day" He challenged her as he gripped her hand which was on her lower abdomen, a slight smile made its way to his face.
It angered her she glared at him, then roamed her eyes spotted, Duke was not there anymore so she moved back turned her heel to leave from his sight.
"Umm..interesting Princess" He whispered, placing his hands in his pockets with a slight smirk on his face as he relished encountering such a lady which is rare to see.
"Thank goodness you are here " Maithili exclaimed, spotting her best friend, a sigh of relief escaped from her lips.
She stood beside her and Aahana Rajput was drinking a mocktail dressed in a blue heavy embroidered gown.
Her hair tied in a messy bun, Her black eyes catching up attention, she was decked in luxury jewelry, Her appearance was screaming gorgeous.
"Maithili mein toh nahi ane wali, mujhe toh karni nai shaadi, bla bla, Didn't you say you won't be coming?" Aahana asked before mimicking her as she furrowed her eyebrows, taking a sip of her drink.
"I'm not coming, I don't want to get married"
"Mama you know her yaar, she managed to get me here" Maithili answered nonchalantly, her face scowled at the end.
"By the way, where were you?"
"Don't ask bro, I got bumped with a guy and he was so irritating, first he spilled his drink on me, Then he was arguing that I was at fault, long story, dil toh kar raha tha uska thopra kharab kardun" Aahana said out rolling her eyes frustrated.
"I had sudden urge to smack his face"
Maithili sighed shaking her head, she wandered her eyes and it lingered at Veeransh , being located opposite to her chatting with a guy. She felt annoyed recalling their meeting.
"Is it you? Tu ek Larke ko taar rahi hai? Pasand agaya kya wou Prince charming?" She asked, with her eyes enlarged in amusement , as following her gaze, Maithili shot her a glare when Aahana pointed in Veeransh's direction with a mischievous grin.
"You are staring at a guy, do you like that prince charming"
"Pasand my foot, he was an asshole, just trying new ways to her through girls" Maithili exclaimed, clarifying what occurred sometime back.
"Quite a gentleman or Kitna handsome bhi hai, I think you should go for him" Aahana advised her as her lips curled in smirk.
"Handsome? Kahan se dikha tujhe he is wearing a mask" Maithili retorted, slapping her arm lightly, comprehending what she's attempting to do.
"How do you him handsome, he is wearing a Mask"
"Uske kapron se, see I can easily bet he is gorgeous by his personality, and he even helped you, a token of appreciation is a must chal usko test Karein '' Aahana justified peeking at Veeransh she thought they should take a chance and he seem to be familiar to her, she examine him but they were standing a far.
Maithili took a glimpse at him, she didn't deny that he was quite charming, his personality seemed attractive, the way she felt a sense of electric current when he was closer to her, How he smelled pleasant She didn't concede she was sincerely scanning him.
Veeransh caught her glimpse. He didn't stop himself from staring at her back, She felt the intensity of his gray at her, it made her anxious.
He curled his lips into a smirk, he raised his glass filled half with red wine in her direction, his eyes jigging with mischief.
She composed herself and acted to puke, a chuckle escaped from his lips, Maithili just turned around showing her back to him ignoring him.
"What's with you? Are you in your senses? You are eye rapping her" His best friend Abhimaan Raichand mocked him amused at the sight he was witnessing.
He and Veeransh were diaper buddies, he was son of Veeransh's father's best friend when Veeransh father passed away, Abhimaan was just 6 years old, Abhimaan was the one who tried to cheer him for once, and after that Veeransh declared him as his right hand man.
Abhimaan lived with him in his palace, He guarded him at the same time as his friend with him, as being a king he had to learn a lot of things which is why he never had time to make friends and he didn't even intend to.
"You were not interested in coming into the ball, and seeing you gaping at her is making me almost lose my senses" He mocked him as he never thought he would behave in such a way he would never even peek at a girl twice.
"I can see she is a heck of a beauty-" His words died in his throat as Veeransh shot him a hard glare grasping his neck not tightly to hurt him.
"DO NOT STARE AT HER" He growled, his nose flared in anger and Abhimaan frowned before smacking his hand off.
"Alright this is getting out of my head, just out with it, who is she?" He asked her frowned in perplexity
"MERI HONE WALI BIWI AND THE FUTURE QUEEN OF MY KINGDOM" He responded determinedly, glancing at her direction intensely Abhimaan snapped his head at him flabbergasted.
