Page 89 of The Royal Beast & His Caged Princess

"Tell me, why are you here again??", he asked, she remembered why she came to his room again but now she didn't want to go leaving him...

"Not important", she said but he didn't leave her hand... "Maharaj... please leave my hand...", she pleaded and he left it not wanting to make her uncomfortable...

"Did the doctor do all this dressing??", she asked him...

"Yes...", he answered and she sighed, she is glad that he at least thought of getting the doctor to treat him... how the hell is he standing so calmly with such deep wounds?? She wondered not knowing these are not uncommon for the BEAST but the pain he witnessed seeing her vulnerability is uncommon.

"I know I have no right to ask, but could you please tell me how you got these wounds??", she asked him

"I had a sword fight with Balwant", he said, she is about to ask another question when he shut her up... "Not anotherquestion...", he said and she cupped her mouth immediately... he wanted to smile widely at her cuteness but as usual, didn't...

"Shall I bring your dinner here??", Isha offered

"No, I don't like eating in the room, will come downstairs...", he said and she looked worriedly at him...

"I'm fine, it's not aching at all, I'm used to all theseIsha", he said cupping her cheeks and wiping her tear stains with his both thumbs making her smile lightly... her name from his mouth always lifted her mood and made her smile... She nodded at him and went from there...

She walked downstairs to cook...

"Isha, beta, Abhyansh asked you not to cook for the next one week, didn't he??", Amrutha asked

"I talked to him, ma, he allowed me, so, I will cook", Isha said starting with cooking...

"You mean to say, he changed his decision??", Amrutha asked with shock written all over her face

"Yes ma", Isha said without noticing her mother-in-law's expressions, she blushed remembering how close she was to her husband just some time ago...

She cooked food for Abhyansh separately to avoid his wounds from discharging pus, Amrutha questioned about it but she decided to hide it as it's her husband's wish, he wanted to hide it from her too but she found it fortunately otherwise hewould have eaten all the unhealthy and unsuitable food for his condition.

It's dinner time and Ranveer made his way to the dining hall noticing the time, everyone is seated and started talking when Abhyansh made his way, and everyone stood up in his respect and then took their seats when he nodded.

Isha is about to serve him when he said something which sounded unbelievable to everyone present there.

"You too, sit and have food", he said looking at Isha... everyone looked at him as if he was an alien, Isha was the first one to come out of the shock.

"Maharaj... I'll have later...", she said politely, Ranveer is surprised as how openly his sister is defying the king's orders, he knew that things are changing between his sister and brother-in-law, but he didn't think they were changing this rapidly.

"But...", Abhyansh started but Isha interrupted him which shocked the family again...

"Maharaj, I prepared a different meal for you keeping your injuries in mind, please let me serve", whispered Isha in his ear, leaning towards him, he nodded as if he is under a spell.

He liked the proximity too much and instantly got disappointed when she moved away... he wanted to pull her to him and never let her go but he controlled himself... he felt 3 times stronger pull when she was cleaning and dressing his wounds but he didn't wanna scare her so he kept his hands to himself.

Isha served him and Avyan is about to comment on how she is serving different food to his brother but Isha signed him not to and he shut his mouth...

"Ishu... packing done bacha?? We'll start after dinner", Ranveer said, making Abhyansh look at him with fury... where is his wife going leaving him?? Was the first thought that crossed his mind, but his wife's words calmed him down.

"Bhai... I can't come now, I have a lot of work, um... maybe some other time", Isha said, she didn't know what excuse she should give, she is very bad at lying or making excuses...

"But you could go to the office from there too, who is stopping you Ishu??", Ranveer asked

"Ha bhai... but... I...", Isha struggled, Abhyansh understood his wife's dilemma

"I am not willing to send my wife Rajput, discussion over, now don't utter a word, have your dinner silently", Abhyansh said in his cold and commanding tone which shut Ranveer...

After finishing the dinner, Abhyansh got up and left to his room...

"Rani sa... where should I put these??", a servant came there to ask Isha about the antiques Abhyansh recently received from an American businessman as a token of gratitude for the help he did.
