Aishwarya POV
Next morning, i got up when the servants came . A new day and a new hope. I made up my mind .. I'll keep trying to go back but, first i need to make sure to protect myself in this cruel world where the value of a life is decided based on their status.
And if anyone finds out my secret. I don't know if I'll stay alive or not.
I got up and went to the shower room. To be true, i really can't get used to five to seven people making ne take a bath. It's so embarasssing, it's like my body is public property to see and wash.
I wrapped a white cotton cloth around my chest that was reaching till my upper thighs and stepped in the pool like structure so, the ladies can help me bath.
It feels good by the way. I was always lazy in taking care of my body. But , here they make sure to worship my body and maintain it. I just have to sit silently till they give me a car wash ...i mean body wash.
It tickled and felt really weird when i first had the bath like this. But now , it doesn't feel that bad. And one more important thing is.. it's also a news channels in the bathroom.
What i mean is...the servants give me all the gossip while bathing me. So, i get all the information while listening quietly.
They bath me then made me wear a datk green coloured lehenga with a beautiful golden embroidery. It was quite heavy but really beautiful.. screaming Royalty.
I wore heavy pieces of jewelry and then sat quietly deep in thoughts of escaping thus world. While they dry my hair with the smoke type of a thing in a tray. It smells really good .
After getting ready, i had nothing to do really. This princess is more lazy than i am i guess.. so i decided to read some books. I love reading books. Not some knowledgeable, self help books but... Um hmm.... Yeah those...
" Tripti...is there some library in the palace where i can read some books?"
" Library? Rajkumari ...you want to read books?!!" She exclaimed
Bhai ..ab kya kr dia mene... Bhen Aishwarya kya cheez thi tum behen. I cursed the princess aishwarya in my mind.
" Yeah...i want to start a new habbit .. can you show me the library?"
She hesitated a bit but, then showed me the way to library.
" You can go now. I want to be alone for some time and make sure nobody enters until I'm inside" i said to her as we reached the huge door of Library.
I opened the door and entered inside then closed the door behind me. It was a huge library. I don't even know if i can explore the whole place.
I felt a different kind of butterflies of happiness in my heart. A bright smile on my face as i saw the books and their familiar smell. My heart felt a different comfort in that place.
I walked inside caressing the books on the shelf as i walk past them. My anklets breaking the silence of that beautiful and calm place with every step i took.
I walked through the selves to find the book of my interest. I walked for a bit then a book caught my eyes. I took it out and flipped through a few pages and yeah... that's the type of book i read..hehe
I removed my dupatta. I can't get used to this duppata thing so i remove it every moment i get to be alone. I lay down over my stomach on the nearby couch holding the book in front of me. My legs swinging in the air , my anklets tingling with each moment.
I started reading the book completely immersed in it. I started giggling and blushing like a lover girl as i continued reading it. I felt alive again feeling comfort and familiarity in this unfamiliar world.
" Oh my .... he's so hot" i giggled talking to myself.
A spicy scene came. It was a story about a commander in army who fell in love with a princess while he was assigned to guard her for a few months.
He held her by her waist firmly and pulled her to his chest with one swift move. Her eyes widened as she gasped looking in his eyes. His eyes looking at her with lust and desire filled in his eyes like he'll devour her whole right then and there. He moved to her neck to whisper in a seductive voice " you are mine , princess"
I shut the book hidding my face in the couch and giggling and squirming like a lover girl blushing hard " yes yes.... She's yours..."
Suddenly i froze in my place as i heard a deep voice from behind me . I shivered to my core with the authority in the voice.
" You seem very happy for someone who tried to commit suicide, princess " he spoke in a deep , low tone
