Plotting & Protection

Book:King's Replaced Queen Published:2024-7-25

“My Queen, I have a strict order from Sire regarding your security, and I will not take any chances. Kindly corporate.”
I know he is also following his orders and explaining anything to Sire is a waste of time. I huff and nod in agreement and look towards Sanya and plead with her from my eyes to let it go right now.
She looks on the other side and I know she is hell angry.
“My Queen” Prisha spoke finally “as per my knowledge we will face lots of traffic because of some cultural activity going on in Stockholm and we might get late for the wedding as well. I can arrange the Salon people here in 10 minutes if you agree or else, we can go there as well. We will do as you wish to.” She said in one go like a professional.
I thought for a minute and said, “if they can come here, nothing like it, Prisha, as I don’t want to wait in Stockholm traffic for hours.”
“What are you saying, Ara? We have to go there. How they will get their all stuff? What if they forget anything important, then what we will do at the last minute?”
She was right. What if we need something important and they don’t have that?
I look towards Prisha while raising my eyebrows and ask what to do about this.
“Don’t worry, My Queen, I will manage everything. You just tell us your wish will be my command.”
I thought for a sec and looked at Sanya and before I said anything she said “NOOOOOOO.”
I giggled at her, “Sister you know, I like everything simple, so I don’t think we will need anything extra and I don’t want to get stuck in traffic no matter what. I did not wait for her reply and look at Prisha and said, Prisha, I will be grateful if you can get them here.”
She bowed down and said, “they will be here in Ten minutes My Queen” saying this, she nodded to me and started calling someone and we went inside the house.
SANYA POV
I throw the vase near my bed and shout at the top of my voice to Aunty.
Sanya: That bastard and bitch had spoiled my entire plan.
Aunty: Princess do not worry. I have one more plan if you agree with me.
Sanya: Aunty do whatever you want, but I don’t want her to get married today. All the plans are going in vain because of that bastard and now this bitch.
Today we made a fantastic plan to kidnap her, but that also went in vain, like our last plan.
Now she is married to him legally already.
Aunty: Dear first, our people don’t understand this legal marriage and all. They only understand marriage with all rituals and for them this will be the valid marriage. He can save her from the accident, but today, whatever they do, they cannot save her. Saying that, she gave an evil smirk to Sanya, and she smiled.
ARA POV
Finally, I was ready in my baby pink Indian dress. My hair is done perfectly with matching jewellery, and let me not deny that the salon people have done a great job. My makeup is intact, as I like.
I looked towards the girls who were helping with makeup and told them they had done a wonderful job.
It has been three hours, and finally we are done, and we should leave for the venue.
I looked towards Prisha, who was standing like a statue and sticking with me like a shadow. I asked her to bring me some juice, as I was feeling low on sugar because of my lack of food intake.
Before she said anything, Aunty came with a plate of fruits and juice in her hand and said, “Oh my, my princess, you are looking so beautiful.” I notice Sanya also coming behind the aunt.
I smile, blush a little, and thank them.
“Have something princess. I have got this for you.” Aunty says she’s smiling.
“Thank you, Aunty, as I was starving.” I said this while taking the plate.
Before I ate anything, Prisha stopped me and said, “My Queen, your mom has asked me to take you to the prayer room as soon as you are ready.”
“Everything can wait. Let her eat something.” She said it again, fuming in anger.
I guess she is still angry about the salon thing.
“My apologies My Queen, your mom requires your presence as soon as possible. I guess the priest has to leave for the venue to welcome the groom, and some last-minute rituals are left.”
“You finish your ritual, and I will arrange everything in your car once you are done.” Prisha spoke.
I nod in agreement and look at Aunty. “Thank you so much, Aunty, for your love; I am going to miss you.” I hugged her and left for the prayer room.
We reached the venue, and for some time, I was waiting in the room with Prisha, and then Mom came with Sanya to take me to the pavilion.
She looked at me and said, “It is time, Princess,” She held my face in her palm. I could see happiness and sadness both in her eyes, and I know what she is going through right now.
I nod in agreement, hold her face, and kiss her. Sometimes we don’t need words to convey our feelings. Your eyes say everything.
I looked towards Sanya, and she was looking restless somehow. My poor sister does not know how to express her emotions. I smiled at her, and we started going towards the pavilion.
We started walking towards the pavilion, and my body was shivering inside this heavy dress, and my palm was sweating like anything. My heartbeat wanted to win the marathon today. I was looking down and walking, as I have no strength to look up. I could feel so many gazes on me, but one was stronger than them all, and I know who it belongs to.
