Rani
I can't believe my luck, of all people it git to be her. As she and her parents walked towards us, she beamed at Rudra and to say that he doesn't look happy looking at her is understatement; he almost looks like he wanted to skin her alive which made her face falter. She then turned towards the the king and queen and giving them a small bow with a smile. However, when she noticed me and relise that im sitting next to Rudra, she gave me a nasty look but I gave her a smug look when I saw the mark that I left on her face.
"Your majesty, thank you invitation for Rudra's birthday celebrations" the red head father said with a respectful tone.
"Of course. We're happy that you and your parents came. isn't it right Rudra" the queen trying to get her son attention.
Rudra didn't say anything or given a slight glance to these people. Who are they to him that make him so hostile towards them? especially the red head.
"please sit with us. I'll get one of the omgas fetch some chairs" the said while summoning few omegas to get some chairs to the table for these guests.
Once omegas gotten the chairs for the guest, they that down and the food was getting served. They dished out the food to the King and queen first then went to Rudra next and then the red head lady and her family which would be me next but when they were getting close to me they just gave me a disgusting look and walked pass me. I'm not surprised by it though. However, there was a bang on the table which made everyone in the hall freeze. when I looked over, I saw that Rudra was furious. He shot out of his chair and grabbed one of the servant by their neck.
"are you blind?" He roared.
"n-noo your ma-majesty" the servant trembled.
"So can see the empty plate?" he pointing at the plate in front of me the servant just nod making me feel uncomfortable in this situation. I have to intervene before this gets escalated.
"it's fine your majesty, I'll eat later. its not a big deal" trying to calm the situation. Rudra gave me a pointed look and for a spit second he looked concerned cause I don't call him that. To be fair I don't want to cause a scene and be disrespectful in front of him even though he and his family get on my last nerves. He looked back at the omega with murderous eyes. The poor woman looks like she was going to wet herself making feel slightly sorry for her, just slightly.
"Then why did you leave it empty" he growled
"S-she's n-not royal y-your majesty and we were told t-hat w-we just s-serve only royal family" she stammer.
"I don't care if she's royal or not. You don't decide when you server her except me. You automatically server unless I tell you otherwise. Do I make myself clear?" He practically boomed at her. She just nod her head vicious. Rudra then fling her on the floor. He then points to different omega servant.
"You bring her food now" he demanded. The omega hurrying to serve me food and run off while helping the first omega get up and leaving the hall. The food hall was dead silent after that incident. The king cleared his throat.
"Carry one everyone" he boomed. The king looked disappointed at his son and queen wasn't pleased neither. The red hair and her parents looked shocked. Rudra looked at me then the food, excepting to me to eat so I did with the rest of the people on the table. After when everyone was finished eating, the king looked over at us.
"Everyone in my study. We need to discuss somethings" looking at his son and then me but Rudra just looked like he had enough already. Everyone left the table and went to the study. Once everyone was in the study, Rudra father went over to his desk while his mother stand beside him, stroking his shoulder and his arm to calm him down.
The queen looked back at us and her eyes landed on the red lady and saw bruise on her face, looking like she just notice it.
"What happened to your face Raiden?" She said concerned
The king also looked up and just notice the bruise on her face but Rudra didn't show any sort of emotions; he look rather bored to be honest. But finally a name to the face; now i don't have to keep calling her red head lady. However, I'm in deep s**t and there's no getting out of this. I've so going to get punished now.
"Oh this, someone of not important bumped in to me and slapped me my queen" she said like it's nothing while giving me side glance.
"Mother of all dragons, who would dare do that to you? Didn't they know who you are?" She gasped.
"No they didn't and they didn't care" Raiden said.
"Tell us who did this to you and be reassured that they won't get away with it" the king reassured her. Yep I'm in deep trouble.
"I don't want to cause any trouble " she foreignertly innocently said. The urge to roll my eyes is killing me.
"You ain't, you can tell us" the king courage her.
"Well, the person is with us now" she looked at me deliberately which everyone notice. Well this awkward but I guess I got no choice but to tell the truth.
"Is this true demon? Did you do slapped her?" The king demanded.
"Yes and she deserves it " I said blankly. The shock on their faces was priceless. Rudra almost looked impressed.
"Do you have no shame" Raiden's mother breech.
"No" I said honestly. Raiden's mother and the Queen looked furious with my answer.
"Why did you lay a hand on her?" The king asked.
"Because she was disrespectful to me and my status, thinking she's better than everyone. So I put her in her place and gave her what she deserves. Frankly I'll do it again if she spoke to me with disrespect" with no shame in my voice.
The queen looked lived and wanted to kill me right now. Her eyes glowed red and I can see that her hands turn into scaled hands. Steam coming out of her body. I never seen her this mad before so this is the first. Raiden looked at me smugly. The king quickly grabbed her and stroking her hair to calm her down and saying comforting things to her at the same time Rudra stepped in front of me in protective stance ready to attack.
"Calm yourself my love" he cooed. The queen took a deep breath to calm herself. Raiden's father looked murderous.
"You little pest, I'll cut off your hands for touching my daughter" he roared, coming towards me but Rudra growed as a warning which he seemed taken back.
"You just going to stand there? I want her punished" he growled. Rudra looked homicidal.
"Firstly, watch your tone with me. Secondly, I'll punish her if I believe she deserves to be punished" he said with homicidal tone.
Wait, is he saying I'm not getting punished? Now this is a first. The man looked pale and took a step back. The mother was frightened and Raiden looked heart broken which I don't understand why though.
"Rudra, you just going to let it slide. She need punishing to what she had done to Raiden as she is your betrothed" his mother annoyance. What the damn hell? Betrothed to that b***h? To say I was shocked is understatement. I didn't know what to say so I looked up to him but he didn't looked at me, just stared at his parents.
"Go to your room Rani" he demanded. I wanted to protest but one look from him, I just shut my mouth. I felt so betrayed and hurt. I don't know why I felt that way. I can't stand the man. So why do I feel this way? So I blinked out the study and landed in my room, alone with my thoughts; wondering why he didn't tell he was betrothed to her?
