Page 180 of The Royal Beast & His Rising Queen

After talking for a while, the 3 people got up...

"Okay... Ishu, we'll leave now, inform Mr. Ranawat...", Nandini started but got interrupted by none other than Bhairav...

"Maharaj... You would address him as Maharaj...", Bhairav said in his cold tone, but the tone got respectful at the end feeling the heated gaze of their Rani sa...

Isha didn't realize when Bhairav got there but hearing his tone with her maasi, she glared at him so angrily that he bowed down, his tone turning respectful, Isha's this change in personality shocked her aunt, uncle, and cousin.

"Maasi... Please wait here... Rana sa will be here to see you off... Bhai, you are taking them with you right ??", Isha said and about to walk away to bring her husband to see her family off, it's disrespectful to make them go like that, she respects his family though he doesn't expect it, the least she wants him is to make her family not feel ashamed. She doesn't mind however her husband treats her brother as they both have that bond between them, she doesn't want to go between them but her aunt and her family deserve the basic courtesy.

She knew they were there to stay for a few weeks in India, and she would be meeting them frequently but still, they need to be sent off respectfully.

"Ishu... it's okay, anyways, we'll keep meeting you, and you can come to meet us anytime, that's why we booked a hotel very near to here", her aunt said

"Hotel ?? Why would you stay in a hotel ?? Maasi, I thought you were going to stay in the Rajput Palace", Isha said and turned to her brother... "Bhai ??", she asked raising her eyebrows, Ranveer sighed, looked at Nandini once before answering his sister.

"I told them the same Ishu... I tried to convince them a lot but they aren't ready to...", Ranveer trailed.

"Maasi, just because maa-papa aren't alive, you were not ready to stay there ?? Maasi, you are always welcome at the Rajput palace, it was your sister's place and it will be your sister's place always, you have the right to stay there", Isha said

"Don't worry, we are comfortable in the hotel", Nandini tried to resist...

"Maasi, I'm not hearing anything, you are going to Rajput palace with bhai", Isha said stubbornly...

"Isha... Mr. Rajput wouldn't like it...", Nandini trailed, maybe mentioning Kailash Rajput would make Isha agree and that worked but Ranveer butted in

"You don't have to worry about that, they both are out of town for his treatment, and wouldn't return anytime sooner...", Ranveer said, he had an idea his brother-in-law was behind his parents' missing but he didn't bother to find out or even ask his brother-in-law about it, they never held that importance in his life anymore, but he still had a bit of soft corner for his mother which he is trying hard to kill as he knew the BEAST isn't gonnaspare her and neither did he want him to, after knowing what all she did to his sister.

"Oh!", Nandini said left without any excuses...

"Bhai... where did Kaka sa and Kaki sa go ?? You didn't tell me ??", Isha asked, Ranveer muttered 'later' to her which she understood. She decided to talk about it later with him. "Maasi, now the problem is solved, you are staying there...", Isha stated

"Even if they were there, you can stay there, Isha rightly said, Rajput palace belonged to my bhabho and bhabhosa more than anyone, and it's your right to stay there", Ranveer stated in his strong yet polite tone...

"I am happy that you think so Ranveer beta, but we can't stay there... Please try to understand us", Nandini tried to say, she could not stay there... not after how she and her family was threatened in the very same palace after her sister and brother-in-law's death by Kailash Rajput not to ever step-in there.

"Okay then, you are staying here...", Isha said, Nandini's eyes widened, so did her husband's, and Amruta's. Bhairav's face hardened upon hearing that...

"Isha... No...", Nandini started

"Either here or Rajput palace, you have to choose maasi", Isha said, Nandini nodded and agreed to stay in Rajput palace as she cannot stay in Ranawat palace under the same roof as the BEAST.

Isha smiled widely and asked her to be seated as she will just come... Isha went to call her husband and also bring a saree for her Maasi as she came after so many years.

"Rana sa... My Maasi and pa... I mean my uncle and Anuj are leaving... come downstairs to see them off", Isha said entering his study, with the heavy silver plate, in which there is a saree, flowers, and bangles with turmeric and vermillion.

"I'm busy Isha, convey my greetings to them", Abhyansh said working on his laptop...

"Rana sa, they are here for the first time to see me, it won't look nice, please come, I know you are busy, but please see them off, and I won't disturb you after that", Isha pleaded, Abhyansh sighed

"Fine", Abhyansh said in irritation, slamming his mac with such a force that it made a bang sound startling her... "Sorry... I was just frustrated", he apologized instantly seeing his wife's expression... She gave him a smile, put the plate in her hands on the table and walked to him, cupping his face.

"It's okay... This is expected since I'm making the Maharaj go against his wishes...", she said softly kissing his forehead... "I'm resistant to your tantrums now", she said making him smirk...

"You are used to them, but not resistant...", he said kissing her gently, but she quickly broke the kiss knowing his passion and it wouldn't end anytime soon, and she very knew he is a beast in bed, no wonder if she limps to see off her aunt and her family.

"Let's go, they are waiting for you", she said and he nodded... He frowned looking what's inside the plate, he knew they would gift the saree and jewelry to any family or well-wishers who visits for the first time, but the saree his wife chose that made him frown...

"Why are you gifting this to her, there are lots of other expensive sarees which are kept to gift the guests, no ?", he asked strictly, she gulped at his anger, and she knew the reason as well, she designed the saree that too in her spare time, outside work hours, it was the best work of hers till now, and when he asked her about it, she told him, she always wanted to design a beautiful saree for her mother, though she knew she couldn't wear it, but still she wanted to do it for her self-satisfaction and he saw her extreme love for her mother... And now she is going to gift the very same saree to her aunt and Abhyansh felt NandiniRana didn't deserve his wife's hard work but how could he tell her that.
