Chapter 188 - Watching over for this Whole night!

A week later.

Maya wakes up and winces as soon as she tries to sit. As her whole body screaming against her movement, Maya could only lay back.

She tries hard to open her eyes but everything looked blurring from her vision. She felt like waking up after being sick for a long time.

She mumbles weakly and looks around her surroundings "Where am I?"

"I know you lack something in your head. But I never knew that would be empty in there".

Maya mentally curses herself after hearing the voice.

'Why?! Just why am I still seeing this person?'

Kalki is well aware of her thoughts and continues to observe her, which he has been doing for a week now.

Maya had been lying unconscious ever since she killed those soldiers by her powers. Her body was totally exhausted as she used her Power Element for the first time in her life.

Maya ignores the voice and sighs "How did I reach-".

'The Countryside Pavilion? This is my chamber'

Kalki continues for her in mocking tone "Here? Do you really not know how could you have reached?"

Maya starts getting irked by him now and sighs holding her forehead. She decides to remain silent to save her energy. She doesn't have the strength to argue with him anyway. She hides eyes by her forearm and ignores his presence completely.

Kalki couldn't help getting irked too as he can't stand the nerve of the woman in front of him. She actually dared to ignore his presence!

After few moments of silence, Kalki speaks meaningfully "In your whole life...this is the first time you used your power".

It didn't sound like a question. It is like he is talking to himself or stating the fact.

Maya never felt so accomplished as her being silent is now leading The Mighty Arrogant Crown Prince to speak to her with less coldness.

Something has changed about his tone.

She doesn't know what. And she could never find what his mind is thinking.

But she could guess that her saving him might be a reason.

'Wait. Shouldn't he be thanking me for saving him?! This man has the face to mock me instead of being grateful?!'

Kalki is still gazing at the woman who dares enough to ignore him in this whole world. If anyone from his soldiers sees this, they would just die in fear!

No one in this Four Realms has this audacity!

"What did you decide?"

Maya frowns still not moving her forearm from her forehead. She didn't move but wonders 'What is he asking about?'.

She woke up just now and she couldn't find exactly.

Sensing this Kalki himself says "I asked you to be here for time being".

Maya realizes finally and speaks coldly "I would never be your slave".

The thought itself is making her blood to boil in fury. A new confidence surges in her body. It felt like a new force making her so strong and she isn't afraid of him anymore. It felt like the force demands her to be strong!

He smirks and wonders "So what do you want me to do then? Accept you as my real wife?"

Maya frowns and removes her hand from her forehead "Huh?".

She stares at him stunned and asks cautiously "Y-You... Who said I want to?!"

That thought made her become so nervous that made her whole body shiver. She would never want that terrible fate!

He asks impatiently "Decide something woman. Why aren't you deciding anything?"

She gulps "I don't want to be your wife. Never".

His smirk broadens and mocks "At least there is someone in this world alive even after saying these words".

Maya gulps feeling the coldness in his tone.

He stands from his chair and holds his hand behind his back. The posture screamed the authority and Maya could only be remain silent.

He speaks "But that feels relieved hearing from you. Now. Why would I let you be here when there is no use for me of your existence here?"

Maya says accusingly "It's our duty to close that Cold Prison!"

Kalki rebukes so fast that felt like a slap for Maya "It was perfectly closed till you broke it open".

She could only clutch her fists ashamed. She finds it hard to keep her eyes staring him back.

She doesn't know how he does that. She can't even able to win an

argument after few moments. She doesn't know yet that at least she was the only person who had done this!

He speaks "Since you can't decide anything, I will tell you the final decision of this discussion".

Maya blinks at him weirdly 'Discussion? When did we even discuss?! He kept on investigating me and now ordering around! He has the nerve to tell this as Discussion?!'.

The room temperature starts increasing due to her anger as she glared at him in rage!

Kalki senses it and chuckles darkly. He stares at her densely and Maya shivers feeling the chamber too cold for her liking.

She grabs the blankets around her tightly.

"Don't you think you have to be careful? Don't you let your emotion control your power".

She mutters under her breath irked "I have been constantly falling ill since I stepped into this country!"

Kalki rebukes her "That's because for the first time you stepped out from your cocoon".

He speaks in complete authority "It took few days for me to identify and control my powers. So, don't leave this chamber till you control them".

Maya bites her lip ashamed 'I was aware of my powers but it took more than a decade for me to find it. Wait! Did he just say few days?! It took only few days for him to identify and control it?!'

A doctor steps in and bows respectfully "Your Highness! It's been almost a day. You must have been exhausted after watching over Her Highness for this whole night. Please rest for a while. This servant will watch over Her Highness till you return".

Maya "..." He did what?!

Kalki "..." Did he have to talk at this moment?!
