The Commoner Consort: The Country's Respected Empress

After a month.

Kalki enters his chamber and gazes around for his newly 'wedded wife'.

His eyes turned cold seeing her near the bed and grunts "Someone! Pack her things!".

His 'wife' startled and shivers hearing his voice. She didn't dare to raise her head to look him.

Soon two maids ran inside and gave a quick bow. They fled to obey his orders.

He takes slow stride towards her. His face is cold as ice and forwards his hand towards her.

She takes a step back in fear.

He looks at her disdainfully. He holds her veil's hem between his fore and thumb finger and asks "Seems this Lordship's status changed your status a lot? Did you plan to stay here as this Crown Prince's wife?".

She clutches her both sweating hands and bites her lip hard to not shiver. His cold aura made her stop even her breaths.

He flicks the hem as if he touched something dirty "Having been a countryside illiterate thing, you should never dream of impossible things! And marrying this this Prince is One of your forbidden desire!".

He chuckles mockingly "Did you think holding Emperor's edict you could stand by this Lordship's side!?".

He says in a stern tone "I am not going to repeat this in future! Hear this Lordship's words clearly! You should never forget this! You are not even qualified to be this Lordship's maid!".

He announces in a demanding tone "No one knows that we are not married! Your Lordship needs to be in that way!".

His newly 'wedded' wife stood looking down without saying anything.

He sees her still and continues "It would take at least a year for my return from this war! Once I return, I will ask Emperor's edict to divorce you! After that we will separate in our ways! I ...to my Throne!...You to the filthy streets!".

His wife lifts her head still not removing her veil. Even though it was not a transparent cloth, her tears damped the cloth.

He smirks "Till then you can live in this Lordship's allowances!"

His face turned stern and leaves without looking back.

The girl stood there without any reaction as she was stoned hearing his hurtful words.

Soon a sound came signalling all, that the soldiers departed for another war!

The girl comes out from her devastated state and runs towards the window. She lifts the veil up from her face to see. Her red eyes traced the single man in horse leading a large force behind him.

'He is gone!'.

'After bringing her promising that he would marry her, he just left!?'.

'Instead of speaking about their wedding plan, in this first day... He spoke about divorce!'.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry on her misfortune! Who in the world would divorce, without even marrying someone !?

Tears fell from her eyes non-stop. 'How naive I was! I believed a stranger and here I am far from my own motherland!'.

"Mam..."

Hearing maid's voice she puts her veil back before her face and clears her throat.

The maid still bowing says hesitating "Mam...If you allow this maid...then..I will complete Lordship's-".

Before she could finish the girl says mockingly "What's there to allow? Go ahead!".

She wipes her tears and follows the maid who led her to a carriage. After she boarded, the carriage started moving.

She never thought her every dream of her marriage life would shatter ...even before the dream starts!

Her eyes is tired of shedding tears. She is regretting her stupidity!. But till now she couldn't understand why did she agree to 'marry' a stranger. She bites her lips and mumbles holding her head 'I shouldn't have slipped by those words!'. The carriage stopped moving. The girl steps down and gasps internally.

The place the Prince given to her was too large for her. She couldn't help but wonder 'He offered a huge Pavilion to his 'Unwanted wife' ? Then how good he would take care of his beloved wife?!'.

She shakes her head to get rid of her wild imaginations.

She says to her maid slowly "Take me to my chamber".

The maid nods nervously "Yes Mam! Please this way!".

She takes quick strides following the maid.

As soon as she entered her chamber, she sends the maid and falls on the soft bed. She touches the sheet by her forefinger almost in a daze. She moves her hand slowly to feel the softness. She never slept in such a soft bed.

She contemplates something and goes towards the chest which she brought her things. She pulls a blanket and spreads down in floor. She hugs a pillow and starts to sleep.

'He doesn't want me! So be it!'.

'What would I do till he returns?! He has to know...I am not a filthy thing! He disgust me!'.

'If he was here, then I would have tried something to change his heart!'.

'Your culture would allow you to divorce and remarry...But mine...'.

She frowns "But I am not married!". She smiles 'So ....I still have a choice. Wait for him. Explain him. If he changes his mind..good. If no...then best!. Just throw some of his words at his face next time you see! Ignorant Crown Prince! Who would give him the throne?! He doesn't deserve to be a King!'.

She sleeps with many thoughts. But most of them were about her gut instinct which driven her to come to this country!. She had to find why.
