Page 2 of The Royal Beast & His Queen

"Bhai... shhh...", Isha slapped her brother's arm...

"I know we had our food just some time ago, but the employees would feel good if we had the special lunch we arranged for them with them...", Isha said with a hopeful smile, and Abhyansh didn't have the heart to refuse her, so he nodded...

All four of them walked to the dining hall, the whole hall became silent having the BEAST's presence, Isha stood shocked as she didn't imagine her husband's aura so fearful that even withthousands of people in the hall, it became pin-drop silent within seconds.

"Please continue with your lunch, We are here to join you", Isha said softly, Abhyansh nodded, Avyan and Ranveer smiled at them to ease their worries which worked to some extent...

They started having their lunch, resuming their conversations, some approached Abhyansh requesting to join their table, but Ranveer politely refused as he knew his sister would want to sit with her friends and colleagues, so did he especially with her sister's boss and best friend.

"We can join my friends, I want to introduce them to Rana sa and bhai for a long time now...", Isha said

"Yes, let's go", a rather enthusiastic response came from Ranveer, Avyan stopped his smile with difficulty, Isha didn't notice it and Ranveer sighed in relief thanking God but it was too early...

"Your brother is too eager, don't you think ?", Abhyansh said

"This is why I call him Devil", Ranveer muttered to Avyan...

"I was just excited to meet my sister's friends, like her brother, not like Ranveer Rajput, okay ?", Ranveer said and Abhyansh raised his brow, which raised Isha's doubts more but she let it go for now...

"I hope they react normally like all the crowd did", Isha said

"The employees didn't react normally bhabhi ma... Have you not noticed their shocked faces, I'm sure 99% of the tables in this dining hall will have you as the topic of discussion", Avyan said

"I agree", Ranveer said

"Bhai, Avyan, you both are not at all helping", Isha said with worry lines on her forehead.

"They will react normally, if any, they are proud of you for being calm, kind, and a great friend that you are", Abhyansh said softlymaking her smile, he always knew the right words to say to calm her...

-----------------------------------------

"I can't believe Isha, our sweet Isha is the queen of this huge empire and Ajmer...", Shivam said for the nth time...

"I think I might faint", Aashna said

"Yeah... I understand, my reaction was the same when I got to know, in fact, worse... I couldn't sleep for two nights...", Reetu said, Ragini sighed at her exaggeration...

"Now, I understand why Bharat got so offended when Ashley spoke arrogantly to Isha, Yuvraj Avyan, and Yuvraj Ranveer's involvement on our first day... everything makes sense now", one of their colleagues said...

They keep discussing all this when they hear a throat-clearing sound... They all stood up looking at Abhyansh, Isha, Avyan, and Ranveer.

"Um... I was thinking if we could join you guys", Isha said

"Of course... Pleasure is all ours, please", Ragini said immediately, as none of the others were in the right mind to respond without fumbling in the presence of the BEAST. All the four settled there, but it was so awkward, Isha couldn't talk to her friends in their presence as she knew they couldn't respond to her honestly and her husband, her brother-in-law and her brother understood this.

"We'll go and get the food", Ranveer said, Avyan stood up too...

Isha was about to get up but Abhyansh held her palm, and pressed it, before getting up...

"I'll get it for the both of us", Abhyansh said and got up shocking the crowd...

"Rana sa...", she started, wanting to ask him to bring something light as she was already full...

"I know", he said and left from there leaving everyone wide-mouthed. Even all the employees are in shock seeing the king having food with them as one among them, and he like any other husband was taking food for his wife.

"guys... say something... I know you must be mad, but I have my reasons to hide this... I hope you forgive me...", Isha said softly...

"God, we are just surprised, Ishu... Maybe a little angry but hearing your soft tone, even that vanished", Aashna said hugging Isha... Everyone reacted the same as her, and even praised her for being a good friend just like her husband predicted.
