Aadhya's P.O.V~
I didn't realize when that vital information slipped out of my mouth. Minutes after I said that, we reached the palace and had to be separated because of some important meeting he had. He didn't ask me anything in the carriage.
Maybe he didn't notice!
He was hailed by the advisers. I never know what's going on in here. This bugs me as just as the fact of my identity being stumbled out is doing.
I had to immediately attend and escape from everyone because of the panic from my action. How can I be such a fool? Rattling out in my chamber, I pace back and forth, interrogating myself if he paid attention to it or not.
"How can he believe that? He can't! There's no way he's going to believe that!" How am I going to turn this situation back to normal if he asks me anything about it?
Nishtha interrupts my agony, asking if I'm alright. "What happened, princess?" Her concern rises along with my heartbeat. "I did something wrong?"
"What did you do?" She adds as I stare blankly at her.
"I just did something stupid." Expressing my fear, I calmly sit down on my bed. "Can I be of any help?" She's constantly so solicitous of me, consistently trying to serve me in any way possible.
"I don't think you can." Observing my panic, she suggests I relax and rest for a while. I agree with her as well. She's right. I might arise with a great escape plan once I rest well."
"Alright, but I want you to inform me as speedily as possible if the prince approaches my chamber." She bows down, gradually striding out of the chamber after helping me bathe and dress back to the fresh clothing.
I twiddle on the bed, twisting and turning, finding it hard to fall asleep.
If he notices anything weird about me, he can do anything. From giving me penitentiary torture to executing me.
If he suspects me to be an infiltrator, imitating to be the princess, I'm dying today.
I knew what might happen if I disclose my identity. I can't believe I got wavered in a moment and slithered out such crucial information.
Aarav's P.O.V~
I can't overlook what she answered. Nina? She stated her name is Nina! What does she mean by that? I wished to deliberate and inquire about it with her, but I received no chance to communicate with her. Even in the carriage, I was puzzled.
The initial conclusion which sailed through my mind is she could be a burglar, professing to be the princess. It pains both my head and my heart to consider that.
She can likely be someone who's here to demolish us or to murder me or the king. But why would she disclose her secret like this?
But then again, she has been acting contrary to nature. Entirely out of her character. I don't understand anything. There are too many buts in it. The further I think, the more my head pains.
As soon as I eased the ministers, I sauntered out from the meeting cubicle to her chamber. I require learning the answer to my uprising question. There's been an eruption building inside me and I require answers to settle it down.
Leading to her chamber, simply one thing appears in my mind. What if she's not the princess? What will I do then? I considered getting to learn the truth will restore my calm down, but every step I take toward her is poisoning my insides.
Even the thought of her being someone else is terrifying me.
I've already given her my heart. Is that why? Is she not interested in me? Is this the reason she doesn't look at me the same way I do? What is the reason?
