Her voice trembled with rage, defending her father's honor with every fiber of her being. She took a step closer, her fists clenched, her body trembling with a mixture of anger and disbelief at Arjun's accusation.
The tension between them thickened, as Arjun remained composed, his eyes cold and unyielding, while Siya's fury burned bright, refusing to accept the prince's words.
Arjun's voice dripped with mockery as he leaned closer, his gaze unwavering.
"Yeah, but will the people believe you... or the prince?" he taunted, a sly grin forming on his lips.
Siya's chest heaved with frustration, her face flushed with anger, but deep down she knew the weight of his words. No matter how much she protested, the power and influence of the crown overshadowed her defense.
Arjun's grin widened, enjoying the sight of her struggle against the harsh reality he had laid before her.
Arjun's voice took on an even darker edge, dripping with menace as he leaned in closer, his eyes gleaming with cruel intent.
"Then I will personally behead your mother, your family, and everyone you hold dear in the name of justice," he said with a sly tone, letting each word sink in.
He paused, watching her face twist in horror before adding, almost mockingly,
"How does that seem to you?"
His grin widened, reveling in the fear and helplessness he saw flicker across Siya's face, feeding off her inner turmoil.
Fear gripped Siya's heart as her mind painted the horrific image Arjun had laid before her. She could see her mother, her family, helpless before the prince's blade.
Her chest tightened, and her breath hitched, the thought of losing them driving icy dread through her veins. Her hands trembled, but she tried to steady herself, refusing to show weakness, even as the cruel reality of what Arjun was capable of settled over her like a dark shadow.
Siya's voice trembled, but she managed to keep it steady as she asked,
"What do you want?"
Her eyes locked onto Arjun's, trying to gauge his intentions. She could feel the weight of his gaze, sharp and unyielding. The question hung in the air, her heart pounding as she waited for his reply, knowing that whatever he said could determine the fate of her family.
Arjun's voice was low and commanding as he ordered, "Get naked."
He watched as Siya's expression shifted from defiance to shock, her breath catching in her throat. The tension in the tent thickened, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still.
Siya hesitated, caught between her fear and the stubborn resolve to protect her dignity. Yet, there was an undeniable part of her that was drawn to his intensity, the way he held power over the situation, leaving her both terrified and strangely thrilled.
Siya, trembling yet compelled by the weight of his command, slowly began to remove her clothes. Each piece she shed felt like a layer of her defiance melting away, exposing her vulnerability beneath.
Arjun's gaze was fixed on her, a mix of satisfaction and hunger in his eyes as he took in her form. The tent, once filled with the sounds of the night, now felt charged with an unspoken tension, a dance between power and submission.
Siya's heart raced as she fought against the flood of emotions that coursed through her, torn between the desire to rebel and the allure of his dominance.
Arjun looked at her, a smirk playing on his lips as he mocked, "Oh, the great daughter of the general stands naked before me." His tone dripped with mockery.
Siya's cheeks flushed with embarrassment and anger, but she felt helpless under his piercing gaze. Every ounce of her pride seemed stripped away, leaving her raw and exposed, both physically and emotionally.
Arjun stepped closer, the air thick with tension, and continued, "What will you do now, Siya? Fight back or submit to your fate?"
The challenge lingered between them, a dangerous game unfolding in the dim light of the tent. She still had a hint of defiance in her eyes.
Seeing her defiance, Arjun gestured for the soldier to enter, a smirk playing on his lips.
"See it so that everyone knows the general is a traitor," he commanded.
The soldier stepped forward, ready to obey, but before he could move any closer, Siya rushed to Arjun's legs, desperation evident in her eyes.
"No, please, your highness! I will do everything you say!"
Her voice trembled, a mix of fear and determination as she clung to his leg, hoping to appeal to any shred of mercy he might have.
Arjun's expression shifted slightly, amusement dancing in his eyes as he looked down at her. The power dynamic was intoxicating, and he reveled in it.
"Is that so?" he teased, leaning down closer to her, his voice low and filled with mockery.
"Then perhaps you should think very carefully about what you're willing to do to save your family and prove your loyalty."
The soldier stood back, watching the exchange unfold, the tension thick in the air as Siya grappled with her predicament, caught between defiance and desperation.
She dropped to her knees before him, her eyes never leaving his. "Use me as you wish, Your Highness," she said through gritted teeth, her voice thick with disgust.
Arjun's smile grew wider, his eyes gleaming with triumph.
"Not me, Siya. Not me, you do not deserve me" he said, his voice a dark whisper as he remembered his deal with father.
" How can i let you have my dear sister, my dear father" he thought with a grin,
