I spoke again, I did not get any reply, “I know the time has changed, but the King is still king and the Queen is still queen. I know in our native place how many people respect them. Because of my father, we stay here in Stockholm, but I still miss my native country, and I like the lifestyle over there. I want to stay connected to my land in the future.” My eyes were searching for some emotion, but I got none.
I know you are from a royal family, but I don’t want to be the wife of any prince. I have my own dreams, or I can say only dreams, to be the Queen of my king.
I want to work for my people’s well-being, and that is the reason I want to get married to some King. I hope you understand that.
Hence, I would request that you kindly say no to this alliance, as I don’t want to hurt my family by saying no to this.” Saying this, I stood up and started walking inside the house, leaving him there to clear his thoughts.
Well, I felt bad for what I said to him, but I am very clear about what I want in my life, and I will allow no one to change anything in my life that I don’t want.
When they were going, his one statement got my attention. And one word took my breath away. Queen.
What does he mean by queen?
I was already contemplating what had happened, but my mom blasted me for my decisions.
I made a mistake. But how come I know nothing about him?
‘Because you never wanted to know anything about him. My inner self mocked me.
You always think your grandfather is from a middle-class family. I was never close to any of my family, as I have learned that Royal should take their decisions practically and emotion should always take the back seat. Hence, I keep a safe distance from my family as well. Not that I don’t love them. But love has nothing to do with sharing your day-to-day activities with people.’
I went to Ara’s room to try to change her decision, but among all the rules, she knew that she was now his. Like really? I’ve never made a fool of myself in my life.
We reached the mansion and retired to the room.
I know Grandfather has so many questions. He respects my decision in front of everyone, but I am sure he wants to know the real reason I chose Ara, not Sanya. And tomorrow I have to be ready to answer all his questions, huh?
With that thought, I went for a shower, wore my shorts, went to bed, and closed my eyes. And suddenly Ara’s face came in front of me, and I opened my eyes. ‘Damn, this girl is bad news for me, and I need to stay away from her.’ My mind mocked instantly: How will I do that when she will be my wife? I have to see her 24 hours a day in front of me.
I know she is good at heart, but why did she not say anything about this alliance? She must have some hidden reason, like Sanya, or else which girl will get married to a man who came to see Sanya?
I need to find out her reason as soon as possible. And if she is also trying to play like Sanya, she needs to know she is playing with fire. Let us meet Miss Ara Morosini to see your actual face. With this thought, I smirked and closed my eyes, and sleep took over me.
The next morning, I woke up at five in the morning (yes; I am an early riser) and went to my gym in the mansion, and by 8 am I got done, went to the shower, and got ready for the day.
After getting ready, I put on my jeans, white tee, and jacket and went to the dining area, where I noticed Grandfather and Aunt Nina were sitting at the dining table and waiting for me.
I smile at Aunt Nina and wish her “Good Morning” to Aunt Nina and Grandfather, and they both look towards me and wish me back. Aunt Nina looked thrilled, and so did Grandfather, and I know the reason. However, I asked them.
“What happened to Aunt Nina? You look more beautiful today than on another day. What is happening”? Winking at her, I started drinking my coffee while telling the house to help with what I wanted on my plate from the table.
Hearing me, she giggled like a kid and said, “Sire, I am indeed happy today, and the sole reason for my happiness is you.”
I look her up and give and look like I did not understand her, to which she replies, “I am thrilled for you, Azar, and today you prove that I have given you a correct upbringing.”
Hearing her, I got even more confused because I didn’t know what I had done. Hence, I asked, “What do you mean, Aunt Nina? I did not get you.”
She smiled and said, “I am so happy and proud you chose Ara instead of Sanya.” That caught my attention, and I asked,
“What do you mean by that, Aunt Nina?” I thought I had to go through a whole explanation session with these two dear oldies, but here the situation was bang opposite what I thought.
Aunt Nina smiles and looks at Grandfather, who was already smiling, and says, “Azar, I always wanted Ara to become your wife and the Queen. She has all the qualities, and she has a very strong persona as well. She can melt a stone with her smiling face and intelligence.”
Hearing this, I got confused and looked at Grandpa Sire, who was already smiling ear to ear at me. God, these two are getting really old. I give Grandpa Sire a look of ‘kindly explain, please.’
