Author's P.O.V.~

"And what did you talk about with Nathan?"Julia asked raising an eyebrow and looking at Ishaanvi sitting on the bed in her chambers.

"Well.. just this and that." Ishaanvi spoke turning her gaze away .

"Are you hiding something from me , Ish? I hope you didn't behave rudely towards Nathan."Julia spoke frowning knowing her bestfriend and her big mouth very well.

"What do you even think of me? And don't always speak like this , I also feel jealous."Ishaanvi spoke sulking , as Julia's attention has been too fixed on Nathan lately.

Julia chuckled ruffling Ishaanvi's hair and shook her head , while Ishaanvi pouted.
"That's different. I only ask you this because I worry for you . I don't want you to get in trouble."

Ishaanvi's mood lightened and expression relaxed with Julia's reply and she smiled hugging her arm sitting beside her on the bed.
"I knew it , my Julia obviously loves me more."

The next day (afternoon)

The maids helped Julia wear her simple peach colour lehenga , with light anklets and other jwelleries .

Another maid was brushing her hair as Julia sat on a stool in front of the mirror when suddenly there was a knock on the door and Julia's attention moved towards the door.

"Come in."
Julia spoke and as the doors opened Nathan entered wearing his all time beautiful white antariya with golden and red embroidery on his lower body , and a red colour uttariya on his upper body .

All the maids stood straight bowing their head in respect and Julia smiled brightly looking at Nathan.

"How come you are here so early?"Julia spoke standing up.

Nathan stepped towards her looking at her adorned with the simplest but the most beautiful golden bangles and the necklace , admiring her for a second before speaking.
"Hume tumse milne ke liye kisi wajah ki zarurat thodi hai."
(I don't need a reason to come meet you.)
Nathan spoke with a small smile , while the expressions of the maids changed with calm to surprise , looking at their cold king , smiling.
