Page 30 of The Royal Beast & His Queen

---------3 Hours Ago ----------

Avyan entered Anshi's place and this time both her mother and father were present there.

"Yuvraj...", Both the parents stood shocked looking at him.

"I'm sorry for coming here early in the morning", Avyan said and they shook their heads unwillingly. Anshi's father didn't like Avyan's presence for obvious reasons, he blamed Avyan for whatever happened with his daughter but of course, he couldn't say a thing because he is a prince, a Ranawat, and most importantly Abhyansh Singh Ranawat's brother. Avyan walked in and Anshi's father offered Avyan to take the seat.

"I don't beat around the bush sir, I'll come directly to the point, I got to know that your daughter's wedding was called off, I'm here to apologize...", Avyan said politely.

"Forgive me your highness, but there is no meaning for this 'Sorry' of yours, because my daughter's life is already spoiled",the anguished father spoke, his wife tried to control her husband but the pain didn't let him soften down his words...

"I understand sir, that is why, I'm here with a solution...I want to marry your daughter", Avyan said shocking Anshi's parents and Anshi too who just walked in with vegetables in her hand.

"Yuvraj Avyan Singh Ranawat... You might be having a very big heart to do charity, but I am not a charity case and will never be", Anshi said dashing towards Avyan with fire in her eyes... If he wasn't a prince, she would have blasted his cheek by now.

"Who said I'm doing charity? I don't know how to conceal words, Anshi... I'll be straightforward with you... I like you, and I want to marry you, if I wanted to rectify my fault or lessen my guilt, I would have brought a good match for you, not offered myself to marry you... If I'm, then I mean it...", Avyan said...

Is this the same man whom people call as 'The Soft & Silent Prince' ? His words didn't seem sodt though, wondered Anshi.

"Sir, Ma'am, I want to marry Anshi, I'm giving you my word, I'll respect her, look after her very well, keep her happy all our life", Avyan said determined... "You know, we Ranawats always keep our promise", Avyan added

"You are giving us your word ? but what about your family ? Will your family, your parents, grandmother, the queen, especially the king who is your brother, Maharaj Abhyansh Singh Ranawatagree to get his brother married to a commoner ?", Anshi's father asked

"AVYAN...", Isha shouted from the doorstep, she heard what Anshi's father said, she was astonished to hear what her brother-in-law just did... How could he take such a big decision of his life without consulting them, especially his brother ? Is he the same Avyan, who like a 'Lakshman' follows his brother's words religiously?

But now it's no point in thinking all this, Avyan already gave his word, and now if she backs out, that would be an insult to Avyan, so she controlled her anger...

"Bhabhi ma...", Avyan said looking at Isha...

"Come outside, we need to talk", Isha said, she turned to Anshi's parents, greeted them with a smile, they joined their hands and bowed a bit to show their respect towards the queen which she returned the gesture by joining her hands and greeting them, before walking out. Avyan gave the elder couple a small smile before following his 'bhabhi ma' who looked furious right now.

"Avi... have you gone crazy ? How can you make such a promise without consulting your brother ? And you do know what your brother thinks of these marriages no ?", Isha scolded her brother-in-law

"Bhabhi ma, you said that Anshi's happiness is our responsibility, right ? So I'm fulfilling my responsibility... We can get her married into a nice family, but we can neverguarantee her happiness, that's why I decided to marry her, that way, I'll ensure her happiness always", Avyan said

"Is that the only reason you proposed this Avyan ?", Isha asked knowing her brother-in-law very well... Avyan shook his head... "Then ?", she added

"I like her Bhabhi ma, I don't know what that feeling was but when I got to know at the breakfast that day that she was getting married, I felt something unexplainable... it's as if I didn't like her getting married... but I ignored it... Later, I realized I like her...", Avyan explained his complex feelings for Anshi in as simple words as possible to his sister-in-law who understood his feelings...

"But... This approach isn't right Avyan... The right way is either Rana sa and I should have approached Anshi's parents or they should have come to us but this... And your brother ? I don't know how will he react to all this ?", Isha expressed her worries...

"I know you'll convince bhai sa", Avyan said earning a glare from Isha...

"I don't know why everyone feels that I could convince Rana sa but that's not the truth, your bhai sa will agree only when he feels it's the right thing to be done... and in this matter, I'm not sure what his opinion would be... but now we don't have much choice, do we ?", Isha asked and Avyan looked down for putting his sister-in-law in such a situation.

"Bhabhi ma... You promised, you would do everything to set things right, and I too promised Anshi's parents to set everything right by marrying their daughter... I guess we both have only one way", Avyan said and Isha took a deep breath... She had to fulfil her promise as being the queen of Ranawat empire and wife of Abhyansh Singh Ranawat she can't break her promise and bring disgrace to her husband.

"Go inside... I'll come in a minute", Isha said, Avyan nodded... "Don't open your mouth until I come inside, understood ?", Isha added and he again nodded walking away...

Isha dialed a number to clear her confusion... She is struck between her Dharma which is saying that she should fulfill her promise to Avyan, and also help him fulfill his promise of marrying Anshi, on the other hand, her heart isn't agreeing to do what she is about to, without informing her husband... After talking for a few minutes to the person, her confusion is cleared and she walked in... She really hoped her husband wouldn't kill her for what she is about to do.

Isha walked in, again Anshi's parents stood up and greeted her... Isha greeted them back and took a seat beside Avyan.

"I'll have to request you to ignore Yuvraj Avyan's words... Please don't take them seriously", Isha said shocking Anshi's parents. They for once got happy that their daughter will be having a good life, not because they have lots of money or power, but because everyone in the place see Abhyansh Singh Ranawat as the God. He maybe known as the BEAST but to his people, he isthe best king anyone could ever have. Entering into such a home as a daughter-in-law would be any girl's good fate. More than anything, Avyan is sorted, calm and a man of principles. They are sure their daughter will be happy but hearing Isha's words, all their hopes crashed.

"Rani sa... you don't have to request... Please, we didn't take them seriously", Anshi replied politely, she liked Isha a lot, the way she fought for her with her husband and brother-in-law created a different level of love and respect for Isha in Anshi's heart.

"Bhabhi ma...", Avyan started but Isha showed her palm which shut him up...
