Chapter 235 - In Ecstasy!

Sarah has indeed gone speechless for a moment but she rebukes smugly "Since when you started listening to His Highness?"

Maya "..." This girl...

Sarah raises her eyebrows eagerly "Tell me. I thought you didn't want to be his wife? Why fight your husband's war now?"

Maya clears her throat awkwardly "..."

Seeing Sarah's smug face, Maya smirks "I wanted to test my skills in Archery. I am not going to leave this opportunity just because I don't like him, am I?"

Sarah scoffs "How long are you going to stay away from His Highness? or should I ask… How long are you going to reject this marriage?"

Maya shrugs tying her hair up "I don't have any thought to stay with him-" and groans feeling her hands turned sore "You have spoiled me too much. See... I can't even tie my hair on my own now!"

Sarah smiles walking towards her. She pushes Maya down to sit on her chair and speaks "I am always here to serve you-".

"Help. You are helping me. Don't use that word again".

Hearing Maya's strict tone, Sarah asks shaking her head "Why? You accepted many things here. Why not your marriage? Why don't you give it a try before giving up?"

Maya chuckles "I never started in the first place to give up".

Sarah stomps her foot displeased and whines "Why?!"

No matter how hard she tries to persuade her, she always fails!

Maya chuckles "Celina will laugh so hard if she sees you throwing a tantrum like this".

Sarah clings to Maya's elbow and stops Maya from walking away "Can't you forgive him for once?! He did wrong but...can't you forgive him?"

Maya wanted to laugh but she keeps her face serious. 

"I can't".

Sarah gasps "Why?!"

Maya simply grins irking her.

Sarah holds Maya's shoulders and speaks seriously "Listen to me. If you accept your marriage, we can live here happily. Forever! I will beg His Highness to treat you well-"

Maya sneers "Your Highness wants someone to beg him to treat his wife well?"

Sarah shakes her head in horror "N-No! That's not what I meant! He might not be aware of your-"

Maya stops Sarah from speaking by closing her mouth and smiles "Look at you... acting all silly. How old are you? 5?"

Sarah rolls her eyes removing Maya's hand from her lips "We are still young. How old are you? 50?"

Maya rolls her eyes and huffs.

--------

The Southern Realm Border.

Everyone was assembled before departing and Maya just entered the camp with Sarah beside her.

Maya notices Xavier behind Kalki and sighs nervously but her mind was chaos.

'The war outfit makes him more handsome- huh.... more attractive? no.... it demands everyone's attention!'

Maya subconsciously walks towards Xavier but Sarah grabs her elbow and ushers "Where are you going? Stand next to His Highness".

Only then Maya wakes up from her blissful trance and looks around awkwardly. She smiles pursing her lips 'Ha! I forgot...'

Maybe she had seen Kalki in his war outfit already or for some other reason, she didn't even notice him much.

Maya smiles cheerfully as soon as she sees Marcus standing in front of his battalion of soldiers. Marcus too notices Maya's smile and bows respectfully.

Maya looks down the ground painstakingly while Kalki explained his battalion of soldiers all the rules and strategies to be followed.

Maya tried very hard to listen to him but certain someone's mere presence was too much for her to concentrate.

Finally, she decides to get her crazy mind straight trying to avoid Xavier's face. 

She frowns seeing a pair of boots in front of her.

'Wait... Aren't they his-'.

She stops thinking as she sees Kalki standing in front of her. She looks at him blankly and looks around finding them alone.

'When did he sent them away-'

Kalki states "I repay you for your previous help".

Maya is confused.

'Repay? Ha! For helping him fix that door? But.. Didn't he drop me in the Countryside Pavilion already that day?'

Before she could speak, Kalki forwards something in his hand which he hid behind him.

She gasps surprised seeing a bow in his hand.

'Again?!'

She looks at the magnificent structure of the bow and whispers eagerly "This is… for me?!"

Kalki states carelessly "This is the lightest metal bow you can see in The Four Realms".Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;s-respected-empress_12655201705389405/in-ecstasy!_51742659479401416">#&apos;s-respected-empress_12655201705389405/in-ecstasy!_51742659479401416</a> for visiting.

Maya raises her eyebrows "Metal?! Wait! You say.. this is made of metal? It must be heavy. How can it be-".

She snatches the bow from his arms and checks it in wonder.

Kalki hides his smug filled smile and mentally scoffs seeing her reaction.

'So childish…'

Maya asks eagerly "Is this mine?!"

Kalki wanted to deny "N-" No!

But seeing her wide eyes staring him as if he is her wish-granting God, he clears his throat looking away "As long as you protect Xavier in this battle".

Maya nods repeatedly and grins before running inside her camp happily.

Kalki blinks dumbly and is speechless "..."

He frowns recalling something and mutters "Alex will annoy me if he gets to know this…"

-----

After a few hours.

Maya's eyes are shining while she watched the scene in front of her. She is in ecstasy!

How blessed she should be to have this magnificent bow in her hand and also witness a marvellous scene in front of her.

She even forgot to notice the endless bloodshed Prince Xavier is causing! 

Seeing Xavier shooting arrows in an impossible speed Maya sits mesmerized. Her trance is so long that she almost forgot her purpose in this place. That doesn't mean she failed in her duty.

She is just keeping consistency in observing the things that are good to her eyes and heart.

CRACK!

Maya's ears perk at the mild sound and her eyes caught a man staring Xavier's back with murderous intent.

She peers at him and tilts her head in confusion as the clothes of the man is similar to The Northern Realms. She grabs her arrow and aims at the man who was moving his hand back to grab an arrow.

Maya smirks mockingly and mutters "Aim that arrow at him and you will die in next instant!"

Seeing him grabbing the arrow she shakes her head and clicks her tongue "Bad move".

SWOOSH!

THUD!
