“Ok, let me make some light food for Grandfather. He must be tired of eating the hospital food.” I said that and started walking towards the kitchen.
“No, My Queen, not like this.” She stopped me there.
“It is your first cooking in this house and it has to be special. So do not cook right now.” She explains her action.
“I have already asked the chef to make something for Senior Sire.”. I nodded and sat back in my chair.
We were just sitting and talking, and in the meantime, My King joined us for breakfast. “Good morning, Aunt Nina.”
“Good morning, Sire,” she teases him too.
My King Shake his head and look at me, then look back at his phone, and Aunt Nina giggles like a kid.
We finished breakfast and left for the hospital.
Grandfather was looking better than before, and seeing us in front of him, his happiness had no boundary.
We were back home after some time, and I was sitting with Aunt Nina and planning something for my grandfather, as it’s his birthday tomorrow.
“Aunt Nina, I will make a sugar-free cake for my grandfather. I know he cannot eat, but a little bit will not harm him. As I already asked, doctor.”
Alright, princess, make what you like, but you know you cannot touch anything.” I raise my eyebrow in confusion.
“Then how will I make the cake if I cannot touch anything?”
“Well, you just instruct the chef, and he will do as you say.”
I pouted and said “Why, Aunt Nina, I want to make it by myself for my grandfather.”.
“I know, dear, but as I told you before, your first reason has to be special, and I cannot let you touch anything in the kitchen right now, so please understand.” She said this, caressing my hair.
“Ok, fine, can you call the chef? So, I will guide him.”
“By the way, Ara, Sire is getting discharged in three days, and after we straighten going to Estate, you better pack your bags.” I nod in agreement.
“By the way, when are you going to your parents to meet them?” Aunt Nina asked while reading something.
“I guess tomorrow my father will come to pick me up.” I started doing my work of making cake.
Sometime later, we were done. I look towards Aunt Nina, who is sitting on the stool and reading.
“Aunt Nina tomorrow. Let’s prepare Grandfather’s favourite food.” I said, keeping the stuff in place.
“Sure, dear, I will tell the chef to make the arrangement”. I nod in agreement.
Me and Aunt Nina were sitting in the garden talking-I don’t know for how long-and it was already dinner time.
“My Queen Sire is asking for your presence.” I heard housekeeping come and inform us.
I nodded and looked towards Aunt Nina and said, “Let’s go, Aunt Nina; it is dinner time already.” Aunt Nina nodded, and we both went inside the house.
Aunt Nina went in the kitchen to look at the preparation for dinner, and I noticed My King was sitting in the living room wearing his casuals and doing something on his phone.
How come this man always looks hot and handsome?
“My King, dinner is ready.” I spoke slowly before he caught me gawking at him.
He looked up, nodded, and started coming towards me before I took my turn to walk. He held me by my waist and spoke, “So what did you do the whole day, My Queen?”
He knows his proxy affects me so much that he also wants to touch me all the time.
I detached myself from him and said, “Nothing much. What about you?
I asked, giving him a small smile, as I knew he did not like my action.
He looked at my hand, looked back at me, and said, “It was good till now.” And I started walking.
And I know I have messed up.
We finished our dinner peacefully with some chitchat with Aunt Nina and retired to the room.
I reached into the room after deciding to meet tomorrow with Manu and the chef and noticed My King sitting on the couch doing something on his laptop.
I know he is angry, but I don’t know what to do to make it up.
I went directly into my walk-in closet to take my clothes and go for a shower. After the shower, I came outside and noticed him sitting in the same place.
I thought to talk to him, so I cleared my throat, fidgeting with my fingers, and said, “My King.”
He hmm’d in response.
“When are we leaving for the estate?” I asked, as I have nothing else to say.
“After three days,” he replies without looking up.
Now what’s next? Think, Ara, think.
“Hamm, ok, tomorrow Father is coming to pick me up. I will be staying overnight there.” Hearing this finally, he looks up with his blazing eyes.
Now what? Did I say something wrong?
I was standing there and looking at his expression, trying to understand why he was mad suddenly.
“You are not going anywhere,” he declared, and he went back to his work.
“What?” as I did not understand what he was trying to say.
“You heard me, My Queen.” He did not look up.
Gosh, this man is mad, or what?
I went to him and sat nearby, “My King, you know it is a ritual, and I have to do that.”
“I was hearing all the bullshit about your rituals and doing them as much as I could.” Now don’t test my patience, Ara.”
I know he is mad. I have denied his rights on me because of these rituals, and he is trying to be supportive as much as he can. Even though I don’t want to go away from him but I have to. What should I do? I am also helpless right now.
“My King, this is the last thing, please.” I give him my best puppy face.
