If you want to make someone spill their secrets or thoughts, just push their emotions and let them talk. If the person before you is impulsive, then you don't even have any need to do something to trigger them!'.
He patiently waits for Maya to speak out so that he could predict her intentions thoroughly!
Maya for the first time gathers all her courage to reply him at his face "I came to this country because I wanted to. Now I want to stay here because...I want to".
She couldn't help fear about his reaction for her audacity. Yet it is important to be said to him! In his face!
Kalki frowns subtly at her answer and gets displeased. Still his face didn't show any emotions while his eyes were on the things on the table.
'You are here only because of me! I brought you here! There is nothing called your wish in My decision! This is My Realm and everything happens because I Want them to happen in the exact way I want it to happen!'.
He averts his eyes from the miniatures to Maya's face. His stern eyes oozing coldness which can make anyone to shiver in fear.
Maya felt herself scared yet didn't dare to expose herself in front of Kalki.
'I would never succ.u.mb to his arrogance! I only stated the truth! I am here only because I wanted to!'.
Seeing the confident gaze from Maya, Kalki asks "What happened to those men in the forest?".
Maya stops breathing at his question "..."
'Men..in the forest? Those men?! Whom I killed mercilessly?! Should I..just ... faint?! I want to escape from this man!'.
Maya blurts subconsciously "I don't know!".
Kalki smirks as if he expected her to deny that and states "That answer doesn't justify the injuries in your body".
Maya gulps 'I should have come prepared! I can manage to answer this whole nation's questions but not this man's! He is asking as if he already knows everything that happened there! It feels like... he can also..predict my mind! I hate this strange feeling! Totally!'.
She takes a deep breath and speaks cautiously "I fought with them but I don't know anything after I got hurt and escaped from the place".
'He already has The Royal Bow and I cannot deny my presence in the forest that day. It would only create further doubts in his mind! I would never allow him to know about My Powers! I should not let him know everything and become vulnerable in front of him!'.
Kalki clicks his tongue and mocks "You escaped...Indeed".
PRINCE XAVIER HAS ARRIVED AND REQUESTS HIS HIGHNESS'S PERMISSION TO ENTER THE CHAMBER.
Maya's eyes brightens instantly with that announcement.
'He is here!'.
Kalki creases his eyebrows as he never ever has heard any announcement of Xavier seeking permission to enter his chamber.
His Brother doesn't need any permission to enter his chamber!
Only then he realizes Maya's presence with him in the chamber is the reason for this Weird announcement. And the door of the chamber is also closed.
While Xavier's previous visit, the door of the chamber was kept open as the Doctors of Royal Infirmary were kept running around to treat Maya in hurry.
He doesn't like this feeling of his brother being distant and snaps at Maya harshly "Leave!".
Maya is caught off guard by his reaction. She gets offended by his harshness and grits her teeth.
'The nerve of this arrogant man!'.
Before she could speak something, Xavier enters the chamber sadly.
As if he too felt uncomfortable while hearing the announcement of his visit. Or he has some other reasons for his sadness.
Maya doesn't want to embarrass herself in front of Xavier and walks out of the chamber hurriedly. She wanted to smile at Xavier while leaving but something made her to stop looking at his face.
She doesn't want to look anyone's face now. As soon as she stepped out of Kalki's chamber, she felt her eyes betraying her stubborn mind, which is screaming her self esteem.
She swallows her humiliation and fumes 'No one has ever talked to me with such harsh tone! He might be any Prince..or even an Emperor!! But he has no right to treat me this way!'.
She starts walking fast towards her chamber and swears under breath 'I would make this even! Soon! Very soon!'.
Maya enters the chamber and notices Celina smiling brightly at her. She orders passively "Leave this chamber! At once!".
Celina "..."
Seeing Celina standing in shock, Maya speaks with an hint of anger "I asked you to leave me alone in this chamber! Do you want me to leave instead?!".
Celina gasps "No! Madam! I will leave at once!". She runs out of the chamber leaving Maya alone.
Maya walks towards the door and orders sternly "Don't disturb me until I open this door myself!".
Celina whimpers worriedly "But.. what happened?!".
SLAM!!
SLAM!!
CLINK!
Maya closed the chamber's two door and seals it with the huge latch.
Celina stands opening her mouth in utter astonishment.
'How did she pulled that huge doors all by herself?! We always needed a soldier and two servants to close them!!'
She frowns suspiciously darting her eyes over the closed doors and mumbles "I should inform Sarah about Madam's anger! I wonder what Our Crown Prince did now! Can't he stop making our Queen mad and start loving her already?! Who can get such a Lady as wife?!".
Celina runs towards The Royal Kitchen where Sarah went to bring food for Maya. She made Celina to stay in the chamber and came personally to bring food for Maya, even though that was not her work.
Sarah could have made Celina bring them as she is The Head Servant of The Queen. But she thought otherwise.
Ever since Maya came to this country, Sarah totally forgot that she once hated being a servant. She never liked to serve personally to any of the Royal members.
