The Commoner Consort: The Country's Respected Empress

Sarah looks at Kalki and bows hurriedly "This servant would look into the matter at once, Your Highness!".

Kalki just looks at Sarah leaving emotionlessly.

"Sarah!!!"

Celina comes screaming and crying in the corridors "Sarah! Where are you?!"

Celina came searched all the way from kitchen to Maya's chamber as Sarah is supposed to be there to supervise the dinner arrangements but she didn't find her anywhere.

She is in great panic already. She doesn't know how she would tell everything to Sarah.

It took several minutes for herself to digest the incident. Even though she looked Maya falling down by her own eyes, till now she felt everything surreal.

She came running all the way from the cliff not minding anything came in her way. She had only thought throughout the run.

'The Queen fell from the cliff and I have to do something to help her!'

Celina has cursed herself a million times till she reached the Pavilion.

'If not for my stupidity! How audacious my act was! How would I tell everything to Sarah?! Never mind! Let her kill me but before saving Our Queen!! I don't want to see her die! She is...so young to die!'

Celina was bawling at these thoughts as she had already imagined Maya's flourishing future with The Crown Prince.

She even imagined herself claiming Maya as her best companion during Maya's rule.

'Alas! I created a great misfortune for my own country! She would have been a great Queen for us! Alas! What have I done?! I deserve to die for this sin!'

Sarah gasps loudly looking at devastated Celina who almost turned pale and unrecognizable in her appearance.

'What in the world happened to her?! Why is she screaming that Maya is in danger?! Did she forget that Maya is resting in her chamber?! Does she have to put this act in the Crown Prince's presence?!'

Sarah didn't delay to reach Celina.

As soon as she reached before Celina, Celina pulled Sarah into a tight hug and screams "She fell! *Hiccup* She fell from the cliff! *Hiccup* Come let's go and save her!"

She didn't wait for Sarah and dragged her out of the Pavilion ranting in fear "I have already sent some soldiers to look for her! We have to inform the doctors! I hope she is fine-".

Sarah creases her eyebrows and stops while walking with Celina "Celina! What are you talking about?! And why are you screaming that Ma'am is in danger when she is resting in her chamber?!".

'This girl really plans to kill me! What Crown Prince would think?! Is she planning to play with my life?!"

Celina gets bewildered hearing Sarah's harsh tone and closes her mouth by both hands controlling her cries.

Sarah gets a bad premonition of Celina's fearful look and looks at Maya's chamber suspiciously.

Sarah frowns "Wait..."

'Don't tell me...'

Celina cries "I took her to the cliff and her foot slipped while crossing-".

SL.A.P!!

Sarah slaps Celina hard and stares at Celina in rage.

'No matter how many times I advice her.... She never listens! She never ever listens!!'

Celina cries silently and looks down crying.

Sarah is breathing heavily in anger and grabs Celina's hand harshly "Did you see her falling?".

'What if she just slipped and this idiot is imagining herself that Maya fell from the cliff?!'

Sarah couldn't even imagine about Maya's fall from the cliff and searches for some hope that Celina would have mistaken.

Celina shakes her head weakly and sobs "I -I was supposed to fall *hiccup* but..she pushed me to the ground and she didn't make it-".

"Come with me!"

Sarah has reached her threshold of patience and pulls Celina towards the entrance of the Pavilion to go and check herself.

But her heart is trembling after hearing Celina's statement.

'Jesus Christ! What if she is telling the truth?!'

She even forgets about Kalki and the rule of informing him.

THUD!

AHH!!

Celina falls tripping her foot and cries in hurt.

Sarah fumes before pulling her up "You ungrateful thing! Stand up and take me to the place now! We have no time to serve you!".

Celina genuinely tries to stand but whimpers falling down weakly due to the sprained ankle.

Sarah doesn't know what to do with this girl before her as she couldn't search the whole way. It is helpful to search Maya at the exact place but Celina didn't do anything good now.

Sarah pushes Celina down harshly and yells "You are good for nothing! You are just a trash-".

"Celina?"

Kalki who was watching everything silently, decides to leave just stops hearing the new voice in the 'conversation'.

A voice interrupted Sarah's cursing. It doesn't take time to recognize the owner of the voice.

Celina "..."

Sarah ".."

Maya who was walking in a daze thinking about Crown Prince's sudden return , gets stunned seeing Sarah and Celina's fight.

She doesn't know anything that happened and literally thought that Celina and Sarah were having a fight.

She has seen many of her friends generally fighting like this for some mere excuses. But she didn't expect that people would even fight like that here too.

Maya's attention was caught by Celina as she looked like she is the 'failing' one in the fight.

Generally the weak one gets the attention of the spectators in the fight. Not to mention Maya likes Celina and she couldn't help gasp at the view.

"Waaaaaaah!!"

Celina starts crying loudly seeing Maya alive.

Sarah "..."

Maya "..."

Only then Sarah came out of the shock and runs towards Maya hurriedly "Are you alright, Maya?!"

Kalki raises his eyebrows and smirks "Interesting!" before witnessing the upcoming events.

Maya avoids Sarah's hold and wobbles ahead towards Celina who looked pathetic. As she still felt uncomfortable in walking with her shaking left leg. 

Sarah looks down hurtfully at Maya's gesture.

Maya whispers with a sorrowful look after taking a close look at Celina's face "What happened to you?! Did you get hurt while I pushed you to the ground?"

Her heart is filled with immense guilt.
