Chapter 2 – My beautiful warrior bodyguard
I watched as he lay down on the hard floor .I knew he had been wounded .I ordered the others to remove the bodies of the men who had come to kill me.And then they lay him on the bed as per my orders.The doctor came and he bowed before me.I sent the others outside to keep watch .As the doctor removed the robe and patched the wounds on the side and on the thigh he looked at me uneasily . I wandered why he was so scared.
" what is it ? Tell me!" I ordered. My order was the final .everybody had to obey me .
" Your Highness ,this warrior is a woman. " he burst out bluntly.
" what nonsense are you talking ? " I was angry at him." Do you know he has saved my life at least ten times .And he has never been defeated by anybody .He is the best in my whole army .That is why I chose him to be my personal bodyguard."
He removed the bandages and showed me the evidence .The glowing fair skin was lit up by the moonlight .The lips were like the smooth peaches that I used to eat .That was a woman ,a complete woman in every way .
I felt the effect on my arousal.My body reacted to the woman which was surprising because I had felt dead all these years and I had felt that there was something wrong with me all these years.All those women who had paraded in front of me had done nothing for me and I had send them away with anger.But now my feelings were stirring up and I felt my temperature rise .She looked beautiful like a fairy goddess lying there and I wanted to lie down with her like that throughtout the night ,throughout my life. I thought of how many times she had shielded me with her body and how she had always stood beside me or in front of me protecting me fearlessly .She had never shown any fear ever.Her face had always been calm and there had never been any emotion on her face. I remembered that night she had looked at me for a long time as though fascinated till the enemy attacked us. When she had come near ,my heartbeats had increased a little but then she had held her finger to those lips which I had wanted to kiss and gestured outside to indicate the approaching enemy .I had always felt safe when she had been around me .
The other day I had seen one of the general's daughter flirting with him and I had felt a little hurt in the heart region .I had called out to him and he had come running .Kneeling down in front of me I felt the urge to pull him into my arms but restrained myself.The lady who had flirted with him had walked away disappointed.
" Are you interested in that lady?" I had asked him a little angrily then though there had been no reason for anger.
" No Your Highness .This life is yours .There is no place for anybody else in my life " he had said very calmly without any expression .
I had felt very happy then without knowing why .I just knew that he was my bodyguard and he was mine . My heart had known then without my knowing that he was my soul mate .Now he …no …She was my destiny and I was hers.
I looked at the doctor and said in a stern voice" this is the secret you must carry to your grave "
" Yes Your Highness I understand." And I believed him because the doctor had been with me since I was born .I trusted him .
As the doctor left after treating her ,I sat on the bed beside her. I touched her cheek and then leaning down kissed her on both cheeks.And then unable to control myself and giving in to my longings I kissed her on her lips.Her lips shook as though she was affected by it. She slept peacefully due to the medicines the doctor had given her .I held her right hand and then said in her ear " I am not going to let you go ever,do you hear me?"
She slept on with me holding her hand .I lay down beside her and then I fell asleep.
When the morning sunrays hit my face I turned to look at her face and saw that she was still sleeping .I got up and then the inn owner brought us the breakfast consisting of soups and vegetables and rice which I had ordered for her.
She opened her eyes and then she tried to get up .
"Lie down -that is an order .You are still weak .How can you protect me then?" I frowned.
" Sorry Your Highness ." She tried to bow her head a little.
' I am sorry to trouble you .I will go now ." she struggled a little to get up .
I pushed her back on the bed and then said sternly in my Prince's voice " you will lie there and get well soon and you will listen to me because I am the Prince ." I had to use my status as the Prince to make her obey me .I knew that otherwise she will suffer everything silently.
As I fed her she did not look me in the eyes.
" We will stay here for a few days and then procced on our journey .I am tired and want to rest for some days .So you are to do as you are told." I fed her a little as I was speaking .
She drank the soup and ate everything without a word and then she slept .
Two days later she got up and went to the courtyard outside .As she sat in the garden with the sunlight streaming over us I watched her silently and realised that she had become very important to me over the months.
She looked up and saw me watching her .There was a little smile on her lips -those lips that I had tasted.
" Thank you very much Your Highness for everything.I am fine now and I will take care of you " She stood up and bowed before me.
My heart skipped a beat .She stood there so magnificiently like a proud warrior princess .She was my princess and I was so happy that I smiled which was very rare for me .I never smiled .
