The Coronation Ceremony (xii)

Daulla didn't let go of my hand till we reach the palace.

After reaching the palace she dragged me to the bathroom and washed me.

We both had a bath together.

We were both in our underwear, but none of us were in mood for jokes.

She washed me thoroughly, till the scent of the blood vanished from our bodies.

After the bath, and wiping me with the towel, she hugged me from behind and said, "I won't let anything happen to you"

"Don't worry, Daulla"

"Don't ask me to not to worry! I don't want to lose you"

"They can't do anything to me"

If I go all out then I am...

"Is anyone there outside?!" Daulla inquired.

The door opened and a maid came in and bowed.

"Please bring clothes for Lil Das, and me"

The maid bowed again.

"Lil Das's clothes will be on the bed of his room!"

"I am sorry, I ruined those clothes" I apologized.
