Kept For Heir

"It's hard to trust somebody when the one person who you completely opened up to is the person who later betrayed you"

" For them it was fun, but for her it was  a reason behind her constant nightmare".

The dark clouds once again took over the sky and the rain pour down angrily, People ran away in search of shelter and waited for the wild storm to calm down.

The dungeon were more cold than usual, the drops of rains were coming inside from the small ventilation window at top of the cell, wrapping her weak hands around her knees Princess pulled them close to her chest for any sort of warmth but found none, her body shivered due to  cold, tears were still dripping down from her eyes but there wasn't anyone around her to console her.

She sat like that for many hours more before she heard rattling of the cell door, but still she didn't bother to look towards the person, the other person was silent too, he/she didn't speak a word but just sat beside Anika for support, and after good ten minutes and more the sound of bangles echoes in the cell and Princess felt a warm woolen shawl on her body, she turned her head towards the person and her chocolaty teary eyes met with pair of black eyes.

"The Physician told that Your Majesty will gain his conscious soon, and I apologise for everything which had happened with you" The lady spoke softly and waited for response but got none, the Princess only stare her face, her mind wasn't even registering a single word spoken by the lady beside her.

"And... And.. I know Who are you to Your Majesty, I know you didn't do that" The calm soothing voice of the lady wasn't even enough to sooth the erratic and tense heart of Princess, the only sentence she paid attention to was the thing that the lady sitting beside her knows her relation to Your Majesty, her eyes widened away in fear and she cowered away from the person, not wanting her to hurt her babies.

"Anika" The lady spoke softly, she placed her hand on Princess shoulder but the Princess jerked her hand away and also threw away the woolen shawl shocking her.

"Padma, She isn't in right state of mind, Just leave her on her own, Don't touch her" Queen Priyanshi whispered from behind gaining full attention of the shivering Princess who stare both of them with tear and fear in her eyes.

"But She need to be warm and fed" said Queen Padma before taking the plate full of food from Priyanshi and placing it right at front of Princess who turn her head to another side making both Queen sigh.

"It all will be over soon Princess, As soon as Your Majesty will gain consciousness You will be out from here" Queen Padma said, trying to console the Princess who still didn't look at their side.

"But what was you doing with knife, Was there anyone else in chamber apart from You and Your Majesty" The Question left Queen Priyanshi mouth before she can control, the Princess shiver, more tears flew down from her eyes, her grip on her skirt tightened, her heart ached for the King, She only want to be close to him and nothing, she shifted more closer to the cold wall and away from the standing ladies.

"Please don't ask all this at this moment Priya, We know it's not her" Queen Padma stated sternly making Queen Priyanshi sigh "We both knows very well that Your Majesty isn't fool, If he kept Princess in his company then it simply means that the lady here is trust worthy" .
