Page 56 of The Royal Beast & His Caged Princess

"Go to Abhyansh's office, the prince is there, let him introduce you, that might calm his anger to some extent...", Amruta said

"Okay then, I'll go right away...", Isha said

"Like this??", Amruta asked wide-eyed

"Ma, what's wrong in this??", Isha asked looking down at her casual marron colour half-sleeved cut kurti pairing up white pants.

"Wear saree Isha... You are meeting an Arab prince, Abhyansh is very particular regarding these things", Amruta said, and Isha nodded...

"Okay ma...", Isha said

"You are a queen, be like one", Amruta winked at her daughter-in-law making her smile widely... Isha nodded and went to her chamber... She took out a saree which she thought she would wear for the dinner and got ready, thinking she doesn't need to change again at night.

After getting changed, she walked to her husband's office... Ramlal who saw Isha asked her to go inside without going to take permission from the king and that surprised Isha.

"You wouldn't go and ask his permission??", Isha asked

"Um... No Mrs. Ranawat, you are his wife and our queen technically, and we need to treat you the same when we have guests, so as his wife, you don't need his permission to enter his office, your highness", He said, him calling her, your highness did surprise her, Abhyansh made sure that none of the servantstreat her like a queen which she technically is, though he allowed them to respect her, well that time he hated her, and all he wants is to trouble her, hurt her so he did everything in his power to cause her pain and humiliation...

Isha entered her husband's office without permission for the first time, and though this was an act, she liked being his wife, before she falls in love with this feeling, she chided herself and concentrated on her surroundings...

She entered, and she saw a young man sitting on the chair opposite her husband's throne chair, he is wearing a long white robe which is known as a 'Thobe' and head covering with a red checkered scarf, his back is facing her, so she couldn't see his face. She looked around but couldn't find her husband anywhere, hearing her anklets sound, the prince turned his head and looked at Isha... He is awestruck by her features, she looked extremely beautiful in a golden saree, but it's not that heavy, the kind, a queen wears, also her head is not covered like all the Rajput queens he met till now, so he didn't think she is the wife of the Royal BEAST. He got up and completely turned towards her, openly gawking at her...

Isha wore a simple mustard colour with a broad border covered with embroidery and zari thread work enhancing the saree, she paired it with dark maroon blowse. The pallu freely flowing holding at the shoulder with a single step. Isha finished her look with a single but heavy traditional Rajasthani necklace and Jhumkas.

"Masha' Allah! What a beautiful woman... My eyes have never seen a woman so angelic as you", the prince said gazing at her lustfully, making Isha uncomfortable...

"Where is Maharaj??", She asked looking here and there ignoring his attention, her dismissive attitude towards a handsome and wealthy man, a prince like him impressed him a lot.

"Ya Allah! Even your attitude is very attractive like you yourself are... May I know the name of this beautiful creation of God", the prince said taking steps towards her, before she could respond, Abhyansh entered...

"QueenISHAAbhyansh Singh Ranawat", The BEAST who just entered inside, observed the way, Prince Farhn looked at his wife, and he also heard his flirting sentence which made him fume in fury. Hearing 'Isha' from his mouth for the first time caused so many emotions in her. Her eyes welled up, him calling her by her name felt as if he gave her so much respect, he always mentioned her as'her'as if even taking her name would sin him, but today he called her Isha followed by his name which made her emotions stronger... She had to use all her willpower to control herself from breaking down there or hugging him tightly. As soon as these thoughts came into her mind, a small blush formed on her cheeks... Does she want to hug her husband??

The prince's eyes widened, and Isha who understood her husband's fury walked to him and stood beside him following the protocol, her mother-in-law explained to her that she should be always beside the king throughout dinner...

Abhyansh wanted to shoot him in the head the very moment he looked at the Queen, his wife, with a lustful gaze... but he didn't know that she is his wife, so he forgave him...

"Oh!, She is your wife, I didn't know, pleased to meet you Queen Eesha(Isha)", The prince said still staring at her, appreciatingher beauty which boiled Abhyansh's blood. Before Isha could respond to his greeting though unwillingly... Abhyansh opened his mouth.

"AVYAAN...", Abhyansh roared startling everyone, Avyan ran inside to see why his brother is shouting for him...

"Yes, bhai sa??", Avyan said panting heavily due to the marathon he just had...

"Escort Prince Farhan to the main hall", Abhyansh ordered, and Avyan did what he said to...

As soon as they left, Abhyansh looked at Isha with fire in his eyes...

"Don't you know the 'Queen' should cover her hair in royal events?? Just because I allow you to wear whatever you want to your office doesn't mean you disrespect me like this", Abhyansh said angrily, his arms itching to pull her towards him and never let her go but he promised her he wouldn't hurt her, so he wouldn't, he knew if he holds her now, he would definitely leave his finger marks on her arm with his vice grip, he is that furious.

And the words he spoke are not what he meant. He knew his wife always wore clothes that covered from neck to ankle, not revealing any skin, and he is proud of that. He is an extremely possessive man and wouldn't want any other man to ogle his wife with lust. But his wife is so beautiful that she turns heads effortlessly, and he couldn't help but groan at the thought. He said all those words because if she covered her head and wore a queen's clothing, the prince wouldn't have dared to comment on her, understanding she is the queen. If he dared even then, Abhyansh would have taught him a lesson in his own way.

"Now answer me", he said holding her chin and making her look at him, and what he saw made his heart clench. There are tears in her eyes, and he hated them...

He thought she is crying because of his words, but those tears are from earlier, when she got emotional hearing him call her by her name, and coming back to his words, surprisingly they didn't hurt her as much as they should have, as she understood his fury and she should have covered her head properly but she never felt like a queen so didn't find the need to, moreover her mother-in-law didn't tell her, Amruta thought Isha would know it.

"I didn't know I was a queen until you called me one", She said so innocently that Abhyansh wanted to hug her tightly and hide her in his arms forever from all the evil eyes.

"You are...", he said... His hands itched to wipe her tears, but he held back the urge... she wiped the tears and smiled at him.
