Page 122 of The Royal Beast & His Queen

"Check", Abhyansh said, throwing a smirk toward Ranveer.

Ranveer made his move and they continued playing, but this time the wind changed and the game tilted towards Abhyansh.Ranveer didn't want to lose, so he looked at his sister. Isha understood what that look meant... They used to do the same when Ranveer used to play with Amar, Isha was on Ranveer's side and Pallavi used to support Amar, and when Amar was about to win, Isha acted as if she was in pain, and that used to distract her father. Ranveer wanted to apply the same now. Isha slightly widened her eyes saying a silent 'No' to her brother but Ranveer was adamant and Isha sighed deeply before preparing herself for the act.

Exactly when Abhyansh was about to make his move, Isha shrieked in pain, and Abhyansh was so scared that his hand which was about to touch the 'bishop' touched the 'rook' beside.

"What happened Isha ?", Abhyansh said tending to her... Avyan too got worried...

"Nothing... Just a little cramp here... Now I'm good", Isha said and Abhyasnh frowned and soon understood the Rajput siblings' plot, he gave a stink eye to his wife and brother-in-law.

"According to the Touch-Move rule, you need to move your rook, not bishop", Ranveer said and Abhyansh glared at Ranveer. If Abhyansh had moved his bishop, Ranveer's game would have almost ended.

"Hey... This is cheating... Bhabhi ma, I didn't expect this from you... How could you...", Avyan complained looking taken aback by what the Rajput siblings did...

"What did I do ?", Isha acted... but she clearly looked guilty, and Abhyansh so wanted to chuckle at his wife's innocent games. She looked so cute, but her attempts to make her brother win caused his jealous self to get activated.

"You know what you did bhabhi ma", Avyan whined...

"Avyan...", Abhyansh stopped his brother who was wasting his energy fighting for him, Abhyansh knew they would not acceptthey cheated. Avyan quickly shut his mouth, not because he was scared but because he heard the confidence in his brother's tone that he would win no matter what.

Abhyansh moved the Rook and Ranveer took it off with his knight. 'Cheater' Avyan mouthed looking at Ranveer which he ignored royally.

The game continued and Ranveer was on the upper hand, he got excited to make his brother-in-law his and his sister's slave. He enjoyed even the thought of making the BEAST their slave, it would be great to do so, once upon a time, he made his sister his slave and now Ranveer got a chance to avenge it. Though Abhyansh is changed now and regrets his behavior, he can't forget how he made his sister his slave and passed orders in front of his eyes. The past can't be forgotten, they would have to learn to live with it's dark memories, at least the future and present are bright, Ranveer thought, but he would definitely avenge those insults and that dark phase, he was determined.

"So, what's the losing team gonna give to the winning team ?", Isha asked gleefully...

"You should say that, We are willing to accept anything you offer", Abhyansh said pompously and Isha glared at him, Avyan gave a smirk to his bhabhi ma pissing Isha.

"I was gonna cook today, thought of making your favorites, but I think I'll have to rethink my decision", Isha said and soon Avyan's smirk disappeared...

"You wouldn't cook...", Abhyansh said sternly

"Yes Ishu, you wouldn't, he would", Ranveer said indicating he would make Abhyansh do it.

"Bhai...", Isha shushed her brother...

Ranveer and Abhaynsh got back to the game, it's tilted towards Ranveer and his win was almost confirmed and that's when Abhyansh made his move.

"Rani sa... can you get me some coffee ?", Abhyansh asked and she frowned at him, but his condition told her that he needed coffee badly, so she got up and turned to her brother and Avyan asking if they wanted but both of them shook their heads... "Make it in our chamber's kitchen... Don't go far... Avyan go with your bhabhi ma", Abhyansh ordered...

"Stop it Rana sa... I'm absolutely fine and I could go myself...", Isha snarled, pissed at her husband's overprotectiveness... Isha walked off...

Abhyansh threw a smirk... and just when Ranveer was about to move his knight, Abhyansh opened his mouth...

"BHAIRAV...", Abhyansh shouted, and both Avyan and Ranveer got startled at his sudden and loud tone... Ranveer's finger which is about to touch his knight touched the queen. Avyan laughed loudly at his brother's masterstroke.

"According to the Touch-Move rule, you need to move your queen, not knight", Avyan repeated Ranveer's earlier sentence earning a glare from Ranveer.

"Ranawat, this is cheating", Ranveer whined, Abhyansh just smirked

"Oh! then what was that you did ?", Avyan fought back...

They understood that Abhyansh purposely sent Isha away as she would get startled by his loud tone and these days, the sudden movement is causing her ache in her stomach with her heartbeat fastening.

Bhairav came there and Ranveer glared at Abhyansh awaiting his response.

"Look after Rani sa especially while she is using the stairs", Abhyansh ordered, Bhairav bowed and left, Abhyansh had given this order already but he again repeated and Bhairav understood why the king screamed for him.

"I never knew you would cheat Ranawat...", Ranveer whined
