Chapter 197 - Broken Promise!

Looking Maya's suspicious eyes, Bhommi blurts urgently "I swear, Sister Maya! I did tell him! I won't be that careless when it comes to your life!".

Maya asks impatiently "The why isn't he guiding us?! And why would he ignore the situation?!".

Bhommi purses her lips timidly and contemplates about something hard. As if she does want to tell but maya would go mad if she did.

Maya tilts her head and asks doubtfully "What are you hiding? My life being at risk is not a normal thin-".

"He said that's normal".

Maya "..." What?!

Maya couldn't help blurt out her mind again in shock "What?!"

Bhommi states "He said your life being in danger is not a serious thing here anymore-"

She gulps seeing Maya's eyes turning dangerously cold with each word and blinks wondering 'Did I say it like I was thinking that way?!'

Maya crosses her hands behind her back intimidating Bhommi in the process.

Bhommi smiles awkwardly and stammers noticing the change of the atmosphere around her as she suddenly felt so hot in nervousness "T-Those are my father's words, Sister! Because... You were constantly putting yourself in danger recently-".

She bites her lip and continues fast "So he said that's not a serious issue anymore!"

As soon as she finishes her words, she closed her eyes not daring to face Maya's wrath!

Maya is speechless at his audacity "..."

Maya couldn't even rebuke this statement and clears her throat awkwardly. She was so embarrassed at herself that she is lost for words. Because whatever he said sounded unpleasantly true for her.

She mutters displeased "This man.. I am not cursing only because he is your father! How dare he!".

Bhommi stands silently not angering Maya further.

She huffs in anger and sighs feeling so helpless.

HEAVY SOUND OF FOOTSTEPS

SOME SOLDIERS SHOUTING!

Maya frowns turning towards the direction of the sound "What is it?".

Bhommi smiles "Allow me to help you, Sister".

She flies high and goes to get to know the situation while Maya looks back at the opened door of the Cold Prison in deep thought.

'Why couldn't I even move the door?'

After Kalki left the place, she tried to close the door again even though it was a vain effort now. But it went truely vain as the door wouldn't even budge an inch from its place. As if it's telling that it was opened permanently and can't be closed that easily.

Maya rubs a torn cloth on her wounded palm and decides 'I should find the true story behind this and create the Forbidden Magic Spell soon... But there is no one who can help me with that!-'

"That arrogant Prince is sick, Sister!".

Maya creases her eyebrows while seeing Bhommi descending slowly to the ground.

She scoffs mockingly "He only would make others sick! The one and only victim is none other than me here. Does he really want to act victim that desperately? I didn't know that he is this good in pretending?!".

Bhommi rolls her eyes "He is not acting. I sensed something strange but I can't look into his soul like I said before".

Maya starts walking away from the Cold Prison and asks "Sensed strange?".

A shadow starts to appear while Maya started moving away from the Cold Prince .

Bhommi nods "Something is enveloping him! I sensed him feeling suffocating while coughing out blood".

Maya gets shocked "Blood?!".

'So he wasn't pretending?!'

Bhommi nods curiously and adds "And he was hurt.. There was a cut in his wrist".

Maya frowns suspiciously and wonders 'How didn't I notice his injury and pain then?'

She starts feeling confused as she concluded that she can sense his injury through pain whenever they come in contact with each other. But this new information made her to doubt her previous conclusions.

'So that wasn't the true situation?'

She was about to walk into the vines but gets a glimpse of Kalki's sword in front of the Cold Prison and stops. She doesn't like that she held a sword today because of that man and refuses to touch it again.

She speaks avoiding her eyes from the sword as it reminded of her broken promise to her father "Keep that sword away from me".

Bhommi nods while making the sword float and reach her hands. She closes her eyes and chants something. The sword gets disappeared and Maya raises her eyebrows subtly yet inside she is stunned.

Bhommi smiles "I kept it somewhere safe. I will return it to him later".

Maya nods silently realizing this new power of Bhommi and hurries towards the sick chamber.

The shadow which was watching everything secretively, radiates a murderous grunt as it watched Bhommi made the sword disappear and vanishes after turning into black smoke immediately.

When Maya reached the Infirmary, she was welcomed by anxious Xavier standing right in front of the sick chamber. 

She stops subconsciously and feels nervous for some reason.

Whether it is due to her guilt or something else, she doesn't know. She felt bad for leaving him near the bridge alone. But she doesn't want others to think bad of them. She doesn't like anyone interfering between them. She wants their bond to be unnoticed and untouched by others' ugly thoughts. They are too narrow minded and shallow hearted to understand them.

She takes a deep breath and smiles faintly as Xavier looked so adorable while roaming around the same place in anxiety.

'What's with that face? He looks like a child, who lost his precious toy'.

If not for this situation, she would have laughed at him. But something strange about this situation is .. she is not at all worried for Kalki while compared to her immense worry for Xavier when he was poisoned.

She walks ahead and is about to talk to Xavier but was interrupted by a Royal Doctor.

"My apologies, Your Highness! I request Her Highness to take a look at Our Crown Prince".

Maya stares him dumbly as he caught her off guard while she was in restless process of talking to Xavier.
