Page 2 of The Royal Beast & His Caged Princess

"Kailash Rajput... ", Abhyansh muttered to himself, that man has become a nuisance lately... He wanted to kill him but just the thought of his son stopped him...

Ranveer Rajput is a man of principles, the only human being brave enough to talk to him looking in the eye, the moment Abhyansh met him, he was impressed by the courage of the man...

He met Ranveer Rajput when he went to kill Kailash for his misdeeds, Ranveer promised to set all the wrongs done by his father, the bravery Ranveer displayed impressed him. He asked what he wanted and Ranveer asked for his father's life and he without even a second thought, gave it to him.

Ranveer controlled his father till he was here in India but 5 years ago, he went to London for his master’s and settled there to gain experience and from then Kailash Rajput became an obstacle in his business, he wanted to kill him, but Abhyansh is a man of his words, and the vile old fox knew this and that's the reason he is fearlessly meddling with his business...

Abhyansh decided to soon find a solution for this problem and left from the dungeon to his workplace...

He went home for dinner, and seeing him, everyone stood up in respect including his handicapped father who took the help of crutches... They all greeted him, and he gave them a nod before occupying the head chair...

Amruta Singh Ranawat served him while the servants served the other family members, one thing that didn't change in years even though his equation with his mother took a 180-degree turn is her serving him the food...

Well, he says that only a Royal family member should serve him and that's the reason he wants his mother to do it... But he and his mother both knew the actual reason...

"You are provoking Rajputs by killing their men, there are other ways to deal with a situation, no??", his father, Pratap Singh Ranawat said looking down... He is not brave enough to look into his son's eyes, but he could at least say what he wants right??

Abhyansh continued eating without responding to his father, seeing the bubbling tensions, Avyaan tried to answer and calm his father so that there is no other scene in the dining hall...

"Papa, that was needed, Kailash Rajput is crossing his limits, bhai sa did what is right", Avyaan said, his statement came out as if he was defending the king's actions and Abhyansh shot a look to his younger brother, saying he didn't need a lawyer to defend his actions, he is a king and he doesn't have to justify his actions to anyone... Avyaan got the meaning of his brother's look and looked down with fear...

"Apologies Maharaj", he said, and Abhyansh continued eating, this made his father furious...

"Don't forget, the chair you are sitting is mine, that throne is mine, you are there because you are my son, so you are answerable to me", Pratap said angrily, Amruta dropped the spatula in her hand afraid of her son's anger now, she can feel it bubbling, he couldn't tolerate his father's these words...

Devyani tried to take the situation into her hands, but it was too late...

Abhyansh stopped eating and glared at his father, which made him gulp in fear...

"I was the one who protected this throne, it is me who acquired it fighting all those vultures, I was the one who retained not only Ranawat's palaces but every property that belonged to the royals in the country. I am the king not because I am your son, but because I won it, You were unfit for the throne, not because of your disability father, but your inability, so next time you decide to question me, get ready to lose all your existing powers, I have zero tolerance, you know it very well", he said in a dangerous tone... Pratap Singh Ranawat gulped the whole glass of water hearing his son's tone, that scared the hell out of him...

"Maharaj... Please forgive him for this time, I will make sure he understands the situation", Devyani Devi said as softly and politely as she could

"You better", he warned and continued having his dinner... He finished and quickly got up and walked to his chamber...

After that, they all finished their dinner too and went to their respective chambers...

Amruta knew her son didn't have his food properly, so she made lassi, but is afraid to take it to him...

"Avyaan, will you accompany me to your brother's chamber please, he didn't have his dinner properly, I want to give him this Lassi, but I am afraid", Amruta said to her younger son softly, who is the only one in the house that cares for her and loves her... She knew he is not capable enough to save her if her son punishes her for disturbing him in his private time, but she wanted him to accompany as she is frightened to go alone...

"Ma, you know bhai sa doesn't like to get disturbed at this time, and why are you so eager to get punished by him??", Avyaan asked with slight irritation, he doesn't like it when his brother treats their mother ill, but he couldn't say a thing, for one, he is an evident follower of his brother, two he is hell afraid of his anger...

"He is my son Avyaan, I can't stop loving him despite his hatred, how can I fill my stomach when I know my child is hungry... I may not be able to calm his pain but let me at least calm his hunger... Please...", Amruta said

"Ma... No, I won't accompany you and I won't let you go there", Avyaan said

"Okay then, I won't eat until I give this to him", she is adamant and at last Avyaan sighed and agreed to accompany his mother...

Both mother-son walked to the lion's den, their hearts thudding with double speed at the thought of the devil's reaction...

The servants who stood outside the king's chamber widened their eyes looking at Amruta and the Lassi glass, oh no! They had to witness their king's wrath again...

They begged her with their eyes to go back but the mother in her didn't allow her to return... The servant helplessly walked inside with shivering hands....

"Maha... Maharaj... Queen mother Amruta Ranawat and Prince Avyaan are here to see you", the guard fumbled... He patted internally for finishing up the sentence without gulping the words in fear...

Abhyansh nodded his head, but his eyes are blazing like fire hearing the Royal guard, the man doesn't need any words, he quickly went outside and asked them to go inside...
