Ahil looked at Raksheet and then at Ira in confusion but he sensed that his brother want some alone time with his wife. So he obeyed him.
"Alright, take this." He passed the umbrella to Raksheet and walked away with soldiers.
"Let's go. What do you want to buy." Raksheet asked and led the way towards clothe store. "First of all, tell me if you are not feeling well. The temperature is too hot and if you want we can go back."
"No, I am fine." She replied.
They stepped inside the clothe store and the owner and other workers in the store quickly stood up in respect. Even the costomers were surprised to see their king and quickly stood up. Their eyes then fell on Ira who was looking around in store like a little kid. When her eyes fell on people who were looking at her weirdly, she tried to hide behind Raksheet.
He knew his wife might feel uncomfortable to buy clothes infront of other people and meet them so he said.
"My wife want to buy something, can you ask a female worker to help us? In privacy."
The owner of the shop nod repeatedly and gestured Raksheet to come further inside and asked a female worker to help them.
"Take his majesty inside and help him and her highness. Show them the best clothes with best fabric and quality we have."
The female worker was flustered and nod nervously. "Y-Yes." She looked at Raksheet and Ira and gestured them to follow her "Please come with me your majesty."
She took them inside a private room in the store where the dresses of high quality and price were placed.
A young boy was standing inside, folding the clothes. He looked at the people entering in the room and his eyes widened in shock. He smiled widely and said.
"Greetings your majesty."
Raksheet looked at the boy and smiled in response.
"Arjuna, what are you doing here?"
"I work here." He replied.
Raksheet looked at Ira and introduce Arjuna to her.
"Ira, meet Arjuna. He is my friend."
Ira's eyebrow raised in surprise "Friend?"
"Yes, friend. He always help me whenever I come for tour in market." He leaned towards Ira's ear and whispered "He gives me all the information about market activities. He is too young but he is too smart too."
"Ohhh." She looked at Arjuna and smiled.
"Nice to meet you Arjuna."
Arjuna smiled at Ira and said.
"Nice to meet you too."
"And Arjuna, she is my wife. Princess Ira."
The smile on Arjuna's face grew wider and he asked excitedly "Does that mean she is our future Queen?"
Ira looked at him with wide surprised eyes to see how excited he is.
"Yes." Raksheet replied.
Arjuna joined his hands immediately "Greetings your majesty the future Queen."
Ira burst out laughing to hear him. "I am not a Queen yet, no need to do this."
"But you will be for sure." His smile slowly faded and he asked hesitantly to Raksheet "If you don't mind, can I say something?"
Raksheet nod "Yes, you can."
He looked at Ira timidly and then at Raksheet "Her highness is so beautiful. Just like you told me."
"Arjuna!" The female worker who was quietly listening their conversation till now, suddenly whisper yelled at Arjuna for his boldness.
Raksheet laughed on his comment and Ira giggled too. He waved his hand to stop the woman from scolding Arjuna and said.
"Yes, you are right. She is beautiful."
"Thank you Arjuna for your compliment." Ira said.
"Your welcome." Arjuna said in low voice.
The woman looked at him and said "Now go outside. They are here to buy clothes. Don't disturb them. Bring something to eat and drink for his majesty and her highness."
Arjuna nod and ran away from there.
The woman asked them to sit on the couch.
"What kind of dressess you want your highness." She asked to Ira.
Ira looked at the door in fear to see if anyone is hearing them and then at Raksheet timidly. She then turned her gaze towards the woman and said in low voice.
"I want corset."
Raksheet tried to control his smile and ordered the woman to bring the clothes.
"Show her what she want."
The woman nod and left to bring the clothes.
The room suddenly became silent, making Ira feel more embarrass and shy.
Raksheet tried hard to hide his smile and asked "Let's see what's your choice."
She slapped his chest in annoyance and he burst into laughter.
"Stop it! I don't know how to buy it. I have never been out in market. My mother used to buy it for me that too from the royal designer."
He finally stopped laughing after listening to her and felt guilty for laughing on her.
"I am sorry, I didn't meant to make fun of you." He apologized "You can buy it from royal designer. Then why you want to buy it from here?"
"No, I want to experience market shopping." She replied.
He nod but still the devil in his mind didn't left the chance to tease her. "You said you don't know how to buy it, do you want my help."
She looked at him in anger, her face flushed red in embarrassment "No need! You can go and wait outside."
Instead of leaving, he leaned back on couch comfortably "No I can't. I can't leave my wife alone. I should help you. I am staying here and helping you." He leaned forward towards her and whispered "After all, I am the one who will see it and...."
Her heartbeat raised and her face turned completely red. She pushed him away and pointed towards the door. "Out! I will manage, you can leave!"
He laughed even louder and stood up, not wanting to regret teasing his wife later. At least she lets him kiss her, if he keeps on teasing her, she will not let him do that in future.
He left the room and closed the door behind him.
He clicked his tongue in disappointment and whispered "I really wanted to help her choose, but....." An evil smile spread on his lips thinking something he shouldn't dare to tell Ira. Or else she will think her husband is a dirty minded freak.
"Your majesty? Why are you outside? Look, I bought so many snacks and drinks for you."
Raksheet stopped smiling as soon as he heard Arjuna's voice and cleared his dirty mind.
"Ah, thank you Arjuna."
"But why are you outside?" He asked again.
Raksheet looked around and bent a little to match Arjuna's height and whispered "Don't tell anyone, my wife kicked me out."
"Really?" He asked, shocked that someone can kick his king out. "But why? Did you make a mistake? Did you offend her?"
Raksheet nod with a sad face.
Arjuna clicked his tongue in disappointment and said "You shouldn't have offended her. You don't know how to treat your wife nicely. You should keep her happy, just how my father keeps my mother happy. She never scold him and never kicks him out."
Raksheet was shocked to hear such a mature advice from a kid who seems like of eleven or twelve years old.
"You know a lot." He said.
"Yes! if you need any help, you can ask me. I will help you."
Raksheet nod with a smile. It's unbelievable for him to see such a young boy having more knowledge about love than him.
"I should go inside and give this to her highness." Arjuna was about to go inside but Raksheet stopped him by holding the plate in his hands.
"No need. She will not eat it. She already ate outside. Give it to me, I haven't had my breakfast yet." But before he can take a bite from the snacks, Arjuna slapped his hand with his little small hand.
"No! I know you want to eat all the snacks but I bought this all for you and her highness. You should share it with her too. Let me go inside." He again tried to enter in the room but Raksheet again stopped him.
"Alright alright, for your confirmation, I will ask her if she want to eat and I am sure she don't want to because she have already eaten a lot."
He stood straight and opened the door a little so that Arjuna can't see anything inside.
As the sound of door opening travelled in Ira's ears, she gasped in fear and looked at the door. For her relief, her husband was standing at the door, blocking the remaining space with his body.
she asked "What?"
"Do you want some snacks or juice?" He asked
