Chapter 179 - Xavier's Technique!

Maya mumbles "You should have told him. What if at some point he doesn't want his power and only want me dead-".

Bhommi scoffs with a laugh "What? If he knows how can we get to know that he is trustworthy? If he really kills you, then he deserves to die. Moreover, do you really think he will do something to lose his power? His Power must matter him than your death".

Maya nods thinking deeply and speaks "He doesn't even think me as his threat. I hardly believe he will kill me anytime soon. He really needs me alive for some time. So, he will not kill me at least till he finds another wife-".

Bhommi speaks displeased "I don't think he will marry any other woman after knowing your powers-".

Maya scoffs "He is a Prince and marrying multiple women is inevitable". 

Bhommi pouts in disappointment and sighs "Then better we find out how much his power means to him. I won't ever tell him the truth till he proves his worth of our trust".

Bhommi declares looking out of the tent suddenly "He is sending you back".

Maya walks out and hears Kalki commanding his men.

"-will take control over your position for now. Take her back, Marcus. Join us once you send her back to the Palace".

So Marcus is the huge man. She learnt.

Marcus asks stunned "What? I can't leave the battle now, Your Highness! We need to capture the fort soon or we might not reach the next fort in time. And we can protect Her Highness with extra soldiers if you worry about her-".

Maya felt troubled and guilty for burdening them but her every guilt vanished with Kalki's next statement.

"She is useless here".

Marcus only smiled subtly as he caught Kalki noticing Maya's presence. He knows Kalki never spoke or expressed out his care like others. If he irks you, that means he cares. If he doesn't, he wouldn't even bother to acknowledge your presence. 

Maya was fuming inside after hearing him 'What did he say?!'

Kalki stares her as if he read her mind "Yes! I don't need my soldiers guarding you instead of fighting. We don't have time-".

Maya states finally determinantly "I don't need their protection".

But her mind drifts back to the battlefield subconsciously and gulps 'May be I do.. but that doesn't mean I will allow him to look down on me'.

Kalki reads her worried face and smirks "Yes, you do! Why in the hell would you come here?!".

She looks away and mumbles "I don't know.... I just followed some people and somehow reached..".

She really wanted to smack his head 'Can't he stop asking that in front of these men?!'.

As if understanding her helplessness, Kalki averts his eyes away from her and leaves her alone. He orders "Now, prepare the horses. Leave with her safely".

Marcus notices Maya's timid expression and clears his throat before nodding "At once, Your Highness".

Maya whines 'Why cant he understand?! It's something that I can't avoid! I might be again sucked back here if I still leave. He is surrounded by his enemies and no matter what I would be brought back here!'.

Maya tries to speak but stopped herself worriedly. 

Marcus orders looking his men "We need to hurry. You have to reach the doors of the fort without my help now".

Kalki speaks looking at Marcus "Chnge the plan. Send some archers to take down the guards on the fort. And ask our men to stay back till they them completely down. Once you seize it don't allow any other to replace their place. We are in high altitude so ask few of the archers to attck from highest trees".

Marcus nods at this sudden change of plan and speaks "We will be try our best to return very soon-".

"I will help you".

Maya's voice stopped everyone from speaking and she mentally smirks at her opportunity finally arrived at her door 'This time I should show him some skills and slap his words back! I am not useless!'.

Marcus "..." Help with what?

All the soldiers who thought they were rescuing a fragile Queen "..."

Kalki was the one to speak immediately "Stop disturbing us. Marcus. Select the best archers as you would be absent-".

He stops speaking as his eyes caught something unusual. No one dares to speak or do anything after he orders.

Maya walked towards a soldier and snatches a bow from him. He didn't even protest and let her steal his bow. Before anyone could realize, she stood with three arrows pulled against the string in not time. Her arrows were pointing at Kalki startling every men in the camp.

Marcus speaks calmly "Your Highness. It's dangerous out there. We will escort you till the Countryside Pavilion real soon-".

Kalki grunts "Don't waste our time-".

Marcus "..."

Matt "..."

Other soldies "..."

Kalki "..."

Three arrows passed three men with just touching their hairs in next moment. They didn't even dodge as if they already know that those arrows weren't aimed to hurt them.

Everyone stares at her speechless. They were standing next to each other and precisely escaped the arrow. They realize that was not coincidence or just a fluke. That was real talent!

Maya hisses "I don't know how and why I came here. Since I am already here I don't want to bother anyone protecting me because I can do that for myself. No need to change any plans because of my presence".

Kalki mutters "Xavier's technique".

Maya "..." How does he manage to know everything?! I don't even get a chance to stun him! I thought he will open his eyes wide and his mouth will drop to the floor in shock! But no! He instead found about the real person behind this!

Marcus gasps in astonishment "I can't believe this! Your Highness!-".

Kalki glares him making him silent.

Matt speaks eagerly "We can assign Her Highness in Prince Xavier's place. We will cover her while she takes down them".
