Chapter 152 - The Man of Few Words!

Maya looks at Victor bitterly for a last time and turns to leave.

Victor says in a low tone "I am just doing my duty, Your Highness ".

He couldn't take the disappointment in her eyes while looking at him and tries to explain his state too.

Maya just walks away ignoring him as she couldn't speak anything now.

Even though she should have saved Christopher instead of this arrogant Official, her guilty conscience didn't allow her to save him. 

'He made a woman die! Perhaps, I would have saved him if he didn't let that woman die. And I don't have any other way too. That Official looked down on me. Everyone did! I am not any Princess to kill him at once for that. I am not that prideful. He taunted me and I returned him everything then and there! That ended already! Why would this Prince dig that ended issue again?!'.

She steps down from the Podium and hears Victor's footsteps nearing Christopher. She didn't thoink that she would feel this terrible for Christopher! She just underestimated herself in handling this.

She couldn't see him die.

Even though he hurt her, Maya couldn't take the truth that he is dying because of her. She felt weak to even drag her legs from there, which are protesting against her body.

Robin sighs while turning to leave as Maya started to walk away "If he had known..that he would be beheaded.. Then he wouldn't even have dreamed of raising his hand against Her Highness".

Hearing Robin, Maya feels her head spinning..with even more guiltiness haunting her.

'If I had told my identity at first, he wouldn't have attacked me!-'

She stops abruptly and opens her eyes wide "I didn't tell him!".

Sarah whispers turning her head to Maya "What?".

Robin frowns ".." Tell who?

The Official too looks at Maya creasing his eyebrows "..."

Maya smiles nervously finally getting a solid reason to save Christopher and turns to run towards the Podium "Stop!-".

SLASH!

THUD!

She was late.

Victor beheaded Christopher. His blood splashed all over the place and even found its place on Maya's horrified face.

People too flinched in fear seeing the scene in front of their eyes.

Kalki glares at Victor before standing up from his place abruptly. He sure realizes that his plan just failed at this point!

Christopher's head rolled around and fell from the stage to the ground right beside Maya. His body was still shaking vigorously until it ended and stayed still.

Maya starts breathing heavily and her eyes couldn't believe what just happened.

'I made another person to die!-'

"Father!!".

She startles hearing a child's cry and looks at a woman sobbing devastated in the front line of the crowd with her daughter, who is crying beside her. She was holding the child from running towards Christopher's body.

Maya feels difficult to digest this. Reality dragged her to the ground and made her realize what she had done! Again!

'He had a family? Now I made another family orphan? I made a woman widowed and a child fatherless! Again?!'.

Her eyes fills with tears and recalls Christopher's last words.

'And he didn't even mention that he had a family! If he did, I would have...'.

Guilt explores her whole mind and heart gradually makes her feel terrible.

Xavier couldn't see Maya's scared face anymore and walks in the crowd towards her hurriedly. He forgets that he was in disguise and couldn't appear in front of the crowd.

All mattered to him is a scared face and he can't let her stand alone.

'Let Xander do anything! I am not going to let her there! Why isn't she even moving back from there?!'.

He pushes the crowd and makes his way hurriedly.

HORSE NEIGHS

He stops subconsciously as he witnessed Kalki arriving on his new horse.

'Why did he step in now?! Did he forget that he told me not to step in?!'.

The crowd who were shocked now turns around to witness their Crown Prince's arrival!

Kalki arrives near the carriage and hops down from the horse.

THUD!

Everyone bowed and greeted in unison.

"Long Live The Crown Prince!!".

Only two people forgot to greet him. One was standing in the centre still in shock and the other was amongst the crowd staring the scene furiously.

Xavier was clutching his fist so hard 'He told me not to step in! And here he is!'.

Kalki waves his hand nonchalantly as his eyes were focused on someone else.

He steps towards Maya slowly as he can only see her from her behind. She was standing still and unaware of anything around her.

The people starts whispering and gasping!

"See! I told you Our Crown Prince will arrive!"

"He truly dots on his wife! Look! He is walking towards Our Queen!".

Maya was dazed in her hell and doesn't even thinking of a way to return from her thoughts any soon.

Kalki walks in front of Maya and notices her fear. He states with smile which looked like a smirk "You could have informed me before arriving here yourself, My Lady".

If Maya has heard his words, she would have fainted hearing him say 'My Lady'!.

The crowd witnessed everything in astonishment and surprised seeing their Crown Prince treating his wife so good!

The crowd couldn't help wonder many things!

"Did you hear His Highness?! He adores his wife!"

"Yes! His Highness arrived hear even though Her Highness didn't invite him!"

"What?! Her Highness didn't inform His Highness before?!"

"How come?! Did Her Highness came here alone to save them?!"

Kalki's smile fades seeing Maya's hands started to shiver subconsciously and stares back at her face calmly.

His eyes turns dark seeing her still ignoring his presence.

'Didn't she hear me? This girl! Does she want me to repeat my questions all the time?!'

Knowing her fear, Kalki looks around the crowd once before holding Maya's waist and drags her in his embrace.

Every single one of the crowd "...."

No words were uttered after this!

He sure is the Man of few words!
