Ira opened the dining room and entered. The First General Veer and Chahna followed along.

The room was well decorated. The sent of flowers filled the air. The table was not long like those shown in the movies though, but it looked perfect!

Obviously this is not a palace, but the vibe Ira felt was not less than one.

The Court Lady Sanjana and the other servant-maids were standing on the left, while a few warriors were standing on the right of the dining table. Both First General Veer and Chahna went and stood at their respective positions.

The Court Lady approached Ira, "Lady Ira, please be seated! The Prince will join you in a few minutes."

"Okay, thank you Court Lady Sanjana!"

Ira started feeling nervous all of a sudden. This is her first time meeting a real Prince!

Ira was confused as to how courteous she should treat him. She slowly pulled the chair and sat on it. The atmosphere was tense. It made her feel even more uncomfortable. Ira pinched the s.p.a.ce between her brows.

"My G.o.d! What is wrong with me?? Why am I so nervous?? I need to calm down a little before he comes!" Ira took a deep breath and patted her chest lightly.

There were three chairs placed in the dining table. That means one more person might accompany The Prince during the meal.

The door behind her creaked open. The moment that sound was heard Ira"s heart almost leaped out of her chest. "Why the h.e.l.l did I sit in this place? I should have sat on the opposite chair which was facing the door!! Ira you stupid! Dummy!"

Everybody stood up and turned towards the door and took a deep bow. Ira clumsily stood up from her chair which made her almost fall.

"Ah!! How embarra.s.sing! This is supposedly our first meeting. d.a.m.n what a time to slip!"

A strong pair of hands held her from behind and made her stable.

"This... This feeling.... I know these hands! It was that guy from the kitchen last night!!" Ira face turned pale. She somehow made herself comfortable in his strong and warm arms.

Ira stuttered, "You... You are the guy from kitchen... last night!" Somehow she was not able to turn her head to face him. Ira could feel his piercing stare which made her sweat on her brows.

"Oh.... Your body and mind seems to remember my touch very well, Ira." His stone cold voice sent shivers down her spine, she almost lost herself, but somehow calmly collected scattered mind, "Why do you have to make it sound so weird? Besides it was you who pulled me into your embrace back then and nothing more happened! Hump!"

Ira"s stomach grumbled loudly. Ira held her stomach and tore free from his grip, "Well thank you for the help just now!" Ira was so embarra.s.sed just now. She couldn"t bring herself to look at the man anymore.

"Arg.... This stupid stomach of mine! Why do you have to grumble at such a cla.s.sic moment! I feel so pathetic... How I wish to crawl into a hole and hide until I die! Wah! Wah!" Her silent tears could not be heard by anyone.


"It seems like our guest is very hungry. Why don"t we start with our breakfast." The man simply stated with his cold voice.

"I am not that hungry! I will wait until The Prince...." before she could finish another huge grumble came from her stomach.

Ira tried to cover it up, "Hahaha.... This is not what you think it is! I just moved the chair with my leg, in turn it produced that sound..... Hahaha...." Ira scratched the back of her head with her right hand.

Ira could tell that n.o.body believed her just from their stares and her cover failed pathetically!

"Well.... I am hungry so let"s eat." The guy said in an nonchalant way.

Ira turned to the Court Lady, "Where is your Prince? Will he be late?" Ira questioned about the arrival of The Prince because one chair was still empty. She just a.s.sumed that one more person will join them and that person is probably The Prince.

"Well..... Lady Ira.... *The Court Lady Sanjana took a glance at that guy. Noticing the Court Lady"s glance he shook his head indicating a no.* Yes.... It does seem that way."

Then people started serving all kinds of food on the table. Unable to resist the temptation of the food, Ira started to eat like there was no tomorrow.

The guy looked at her warmly and broke into a wide smile. Everyone were surprised to see him smile as that the first time that they have ever seen him smile.

"Eat slowly... there is still more." His cold voice somehow made Ira feel warm. She blushed a little and nodded her head in agreement.

He softly chuckled at her cute expression. She was still not able to face him properly.

"You guys actually started eating without me! How could you do this to me!" A guy with brown hair appeared from behind.

"You.... You... You are the guy I met at the river yesterday. Why are you here?" Ira was completely confused.

"h.e.l.lo, my dear angel! How have you been?" He slowed walked toward her and knelt down on his right knee, took her left hand and softly planted a kiss.

Ira with an astounded look on her face, "What the h.e.l.l are you doing?" She swiftly withdrew her hand from his grip and shot him an disgusted look.

"Oh My! That look! That"s the look I want! You are indeed my angel!" He looked at her like he has found his angel.

Unfortunately he could not flirt with her more... He could feel a cold and intense aura behind his back. So intense that one look could actually burn his soul. His back turned stiff and he slowly withdrew from Ira and found his seat.

"Who are you?? Are you The Prince??" Ira still didn"t know who among these two is the real Prince.

"Me?? I am not The Prince. I am the Palace doctor and a good friend of The Prince. My name is Aditya and The Prince you have been looking for is him. He is the First Prince of our country and his name is Shiv."

The moment he finished introducing the so called Prince to her, Ira"s jaw dropped into an wide "O" shape and the room was filled with dead silence.
