Chapter 218 - Your King is going to Smack some Officials and Smash some Thrones!

Alex huffs in displease "You are cruel, My Lady! I helped you to get some warm food and what do you pay me back with? Humiliation?"

HAHA!

Maya laughs hard holding her stomach.

Alex hushes her looking behind him sneakily "Shh! Lady! Stop laughing! You are deliberately calling the guards! They might even think that you have lost your mind after your imprisonment! How could you even laugh when are imprisoned in The Royal's Cold prison! You might be the only one!"

She points his face and laughs hard throwing her head back "You are so silly!"

HAHA!

Alex "..." What?! 

'What did she just say?! Silly?! Me?! Does she know how many great warriors have lost their lives in my hands? Does she know how many of them begged for their lives in front of me?! I am The Crown Prince of The Western Realm for God's sake! But..'

He creases his eyebrows seeing her innocent laughs and shrugs it off 'Her laughs sound pleasing anyway. This Prince will remain silly only for her then! Xander... Where did you bring this lady from?! I envy you for what you have unintentionally acquired! Does she dare to even laugh at this situation? Is it because she is naive or her trust on you? Does she really trust Xander with her life? Even though she behaves as if she hates him, she is here only because she trusts him that he will get her out soon. How can one even trust the person they hate?! Is this because they have Powers?'

Breaking his flow of thoughts, Maya asks curiously "How do you know the ways to come here? How did you even enter this place? I don't find any way here..."

Seeing her checking around her, Alex speaks smugly "You are underestimating an Imperial Court's Official, Lady"

He asks looking at her keenly "Do you want anything else?"

Maya still wants an answer from him as she needs to find whether there is another way out from here "How did you manage to come here?"

Alex scoffs absentmindedly while checking behind him without realizing "I have my ways...will teach you someday".

Of course, he will teach whatever she asks for. That's what he does for his family!

Maya blinks hearing him and gasps in wonder "Really?!"

He chuckles "Your curious eyes are killing my patience too. Stop staring me and get some sleep. Take this blanket".

He is not hesitant to help her irrespective of his disguise! He will treat her the same with or without his disguise anyway.

Maya ".."

Maya opens her mouth in shock as he gave her the blanket through the metal grills.

She asks in disbelief "Were you talking all this time while you had a blanket with you?! Can't you see I was dying in this cold?!"

Alex blinks dumbly ".." Wait... Did I really forget to give her this blanket first? 

HAHA!

He manages to let out a chuckle awkwardly and sees her covering herself inside the blanket.

She sighs contently and asks "Why are you doing this? You might be punished if anyone found about this".

He asks cooly "Can't I even help my saviour with this little things?"

She states "I told you. I didn't save you".

He scoffs "Yes yes..I know! But I want to help you because I like you".

Maya "..."

Alex waves his hand "Don't worry! I won't ask you to abandon your husband and elope with me"

Maya scoffs "Dream on!"

He is taken aback and asks forgetting that he is in disguise "What?! Why would anyone reject me?"

Only after he asked her he realized he is in the disguise of an ugly man. He is annoyed as he can't show his face to her. He can't wait for her reaction when she sees his face!

'Now she will call me ugly-'

To his surprise, she scoffs "Anyone would reject you the instant you open your foul mouth!"

HAHA!

Maya "..."

It was Alex who laughed hard this time forgetting he should be silent! But Maya's comment caught him off guard.

Maya hushes him annoyed "Shhh! Stop laughing loud, you idiot! Someone might hear you and think I have turned insane enough to laugh in man's voice! What if they come and snatch my blanket away?! Do you want me to freeze in cold?!"

Alex bites his lip in amus.e.m.e.nt and smiles "So you are worried about your blanket more than my life is in danger? Hmm. I will come back later. Be silent. Stay down. Don't even look at the soldiers or Officials who will try to manipulate you or even threaten you. They won't be here probably if they don't want an ugly death but... Just remain silent!"

She frowns "I never knew you were my mother in my last birth?"

Alex shakes his head helplessly while Maya sighs pulling the blanket close to her "I wonder when will I get peace from all these-"

Alex speaks without looking at her as if checking something behind him "There won't be a peaceful day in upcoming months. So prepare yourself".

"For what?"

He smirks "Just being the Queen! Your King is going to smack some officials and smash some thrones!"

Maya looks at him strangely "..." He probably knows more than I guessed

Alex shrugs "What?"

Maya asks calmly "Why am I here?"

She wants to know why everyone is against her even though she has done many things to favour the country and people. She wants to know what's the big game behind this.

She knows he is the only source of answers for her questions and now she felt that she could trust him. For some reason, she believes him even though she already knows that he is hiding something from her. 

So what? Everyone has their secrets! But his secrets won't harm her.

Alex states with a smirk "Its the heart of The Four Realms"

She couldn't decipher what exactly is he talking about and blurts "What?"

Alex states with a mysterious glint in his eyes "The Countryside Pavillion!"

Maya "..." Huh? Heart of Realms? That Pavilion?
