(thud! door opening.)

"You... How dare you to do this to her?"he's shouting at me in the middle of the night at my room for his lover. His hoarse voice is enough to make people wet their pants. Though i'm not in shivers.

"Though it's true. Who are you?"i asked him in a cold menacing gaze. I know who is he . His black hair and blue-green eyes with tall muscular appearance . I know him from the moment i saw him; He's , ' Arthur Howard' ; Royal prince of Zaire country and my husband in name , whom I got married last week.

"I'm Arthur Howard , your husband", he furrowed his brows and gritting his teeth in anger.

"oh! I thought , I got married to a paper", i smirked. How dare he, claiming him as my husband without attending the marriage ceremony. He just sent me a paper of marriage certificate with his sign

"You....never test my patience. Tell me ; Why did you do that to her?"he just came towards me and pushed me against the wall by strangling my neck with his big rough hands. Does he think if he's dominating and arrogant ;I'll cower my head.

"Take your filthy hands from my neck," i shouted with all my strength. He was stunned for a moment and loosened his grip from my neck and sighed. He silently stood in front of me.

"Don't show your arrogant attitude with me." i said and he doesn't gave me a response ,but silently waiting for me to speak about his lover. Jerk.

"What do you want to know?" i asked him and took a seat on the sofa in front of my bed. He just sitting like it's his room, without my saying . He's shameless too.

"Why did you make her to kneel for an hour?"he's asking me in his authoritative voice. God , he's sure of himself like I'm the one to blame for all the mistakes.

"She disrespected me .So,I punished her.It's natural for Royals to punish the one's who is disrespectful to them."I said him clearly. He's clenching his fists.

"I gave her the order to not to bow anyone."he's said with a cold demeanor .

" Is that something you are proud of?" i mocked him. "Who are you to say that I can't deserve respect ,If you want , you can give an order to be disrespectful towards you, not others. There is no etiquette in this country". I sighed .

"I'm the Royal prince of this country and just because you are part of royalty doesn't means you can punish someone" , his voice was quite loud and his face is boiling in anger.

"So, you're saying that because you're a part of Royalty you can issue a stupid order, but I can't punish someone ,JUST because of i'm a part of Royalty. Did you dropped your brain while entering?"I smirked . I heard the prince of this country is wise and well-mannered.Is there another prince without my knowledge ?

"I'm just saying that there shouldn't be any physical abuse and you could have warned her for the first time. I thought that The princess of Gaul country is generous". he's saying like i'm a tyrant.

"Indeed ,I was generous ,Arthur. There is a law for monarch country's ,that people who are disrespectful towards Royalty , will receive 50 strokes of cane." i smiled and continued, "If you want , you can change your country into democratic system ;So I can warn them ,if they're disrespectful even towards you ."

He was silent for a minute. I know he'll shut down , when he hear the word democratic. Even though most of the countries changed into democratic ;Some of the countries still follow monarch system to their convenience ; Though they have to follow world law like NO WARS and same law like other countries for criminals . But royals have some Law for themselves. He can't able to tell anything for now.He stood up.

"I'll warn her to not disturb you further and Don't forget , YOU'RE POWERLESS HERE". he warned and looked at my neck .He got up and went outside. After sometime ,a maid came in and gave me ointment for bruises. Should I be grateful? Ridiculous! . I know I'm powerless ;for now.

I called my maid and asked her to throw the ointment . I want to feel the pain , so i can take my revenge to the fullest. I sighed and laid on my bed. It's annoyingly cold. I hate it . I curled up my body and closed my eyes.

In the dark night , the sound of gun fires .A lady in her pink dress running holding my hands while her blood is splattering near abdomen.

"It's okay , dear. We will get out of here ", she's saying while running out of her breath. She stumbled on a rock and fell down.

"Mom! " I held out my arms to pick her up and helped her to get up. While the noises of footsteps increased. She kissed my cheek and hugged me .She whispered in my ears to run .

"No , mom. You've to come with me" i cried and held her hand. She pushed me away.

"Run, dear . Go !" she shouted. My tears are falling down continuously . I got up and ran for help .

"Augusta! run, don't turn back . Stay alive", the lady screamed .

(BANG).*

Gasp* -I got up from my bed .It's a nightmare. My tears are rolling down on my cheeks. Ah! I want to take a walk outside. I wore a shawl and went to the garden . I sat down near a small pond in the garden and just watched the moon that's reflecting on the water.

"Why are you here , without any bodyguards with you?" a familiar voice approached me.

" Don't worry, I won't die so soon, If it's not you". i said and he smiled.

"Even If I kill you, I won't soil my hands . Rest assured",he smirked .

"Should I feel safe ?" I mocked him. We became silent . The night is full of chill breeze and I started to shiver . I got up to go back to my room .

"Here". He put an overcoat around my shoulder .I was surprised .My eyes widened.
