Ara’s POV
I got up lazily and searched for the door of the washroom, and after three attempts, I found one and went to freshen up.
By the time I came out, there were girls standing, wearing skirts and blouses.
She bows to me. “Accept my greetings, My Queen. I am Kamola, and I will be at your service 24/7.”
“Greetings to you too,” I said, as I didn’t know what else to say.
“Should I bring you dinner if you are hungry? Sire has asked to give you food in the room only.”
‘Well, I am indeed hungry, I thought.
“Where is my king?”
“Sire has gone out. Something needed his attention.”
“Any idea when he will be back?”
“No, My Queen, but mostly he will be late as he has gone to a nearby village.”
“And what about Grandfather and Aunt Nina?”
“Aunt Nina is with Senior Sire,”
“Ok, fine, bring my food, and please call Sanya also and bring her food too.”
“Certainly, My Queen, she said, saying she flew away.
I thought about checking my chamber, but again, I am too lazy and want to go back to sleep. I then thought to call Azar, so I dialled his number.
“My Queen, are you alright?” I roll my eyes at hearing this.
“What could happen to me, my king?” I am fit and fine. I called you to ask, when will you be back?”
“Well, I have something important to take care of, so I will be late. But you eat your dinner, take your medicine, and go to sleep.”
“Hmmm.” I am missing him, but at the same time, I know work must be important.
“Ok, then, see you soon,” I said slowly.
“See you soon,” he said, hanging up.
Sanya came into my room. “How are you feeling, Ara?” she asked me, looking at my room.
“I am fine, sister.”
“This does not look like your chamber.”
“Yes, it is Azar’s chamber.”
“So, why are you staying here? Don’t you know queens have their own chamber, and they need to stay in there? And the king visits there when he needs a queen.” She spoke like she was accusing me, like I had committed some crime.
“First, over there is my chamber.” I pointed towards my chamber.
“Second, my king wants me to be in his chamber, and he only brought me here.
Third, I don’t need a separate chamber or Azar. Still, he made it just in case I would like to have one, but he connected that with his.” I said it in a bored tone. I mean, why is she asking so many questions?
“Why did he do that? Doesn’t he know there are rules and regulations?” My dear Sanya spoke with anger, and I lost it here.
“Well, sister, he is the King, and this is his palace. I am his queen. We like to do things as they please us. Especially for our personal lives.
And I will not allow anyone to give me advice regarding the same. I hope you understand.” I spoke all at once, looking into her eyes.
I mean, come on, I understand she has more knowledge than me, but this is too personal, and sometimes she needs to know her deadline.
“Fine, then do as you please.” She mocked her and left fuming.
Well, I know she felt bad, but I guess today this was important.
I noticed the maid was entering my room with a food trolley and kept it on the table.
“My Queen, please have a seat,” she said, starting to serve me the food.
I finish my food and look at her. “Kamola, did my stuff come? I need to change.”
“Yes, My Queen, and it has been arranged in your chamber as well.”
I look at her. “When did you do all this?”
“When you were sleeping,” she replies politely.
I nodded and went to my chamber. After changing, I again came into the Azar chamber, went to bed, and slept peacefully.
I felt some movement, so I opened my eyes, and I noticed Azar was snuggling in with me.
Hey, when did you come back?” I asked, looking at him.
“Just some time ago. Now let us seep; I am too tired.” He said he put his head in the valley, kissed my breasts, and slept after taking my sleep away.
But well, because there was no other option, I slept too.
The next day again, I woke up late and looked to the other side, and Azar was not there. I thought he might be in the bathroom, so I got up to check, but he was not there. I thought about calling him, so I looked for my phone and found a note.
Good morning, my queen. Because of my absence, a lot of work is pending, so I had to leave.
I will try to be back as soon as possible. Till then, take care.
Yours,
Azar
I smiled, looking at the note, kept it in the drawer, and went to the bathroom to finish my business.
After getting ready in a blue sari and some jewelry and light makeup, I went down.
“Oh, thank God you’re here,” I said to Kamola. I was just thinking about where to go, as I am still not aware of the ways here.” I spoke in happiness, looking at her.
“Don’t worry, Queen, I am here for that only; come, I will take you to the dining room. You must be hungry.” He started guiding me towards the dining room.
“Where are my grandfather and Aunt Nina?” I asked while looking here and there so I could remember the way next time.
They are both in the dining room only.” She replied politely.
I nodded and padded towards the dining room, guided by Kamola.
I look at the palace. It is beautifully decorated and huge, with two sides of stairs and an enormous hall that is connected to another hall and the dining room where we are going.
