"I am worried that my sharp sword may tear your beautiful dress." He said while showing the sharpness of his sword to Ira "By the way, you are wearing your corset, aren't you?"
"Shut up!" Ira shouted to make her husband shut his mouth. Her face flushed red in embarrassment. She looked around to see if no one is there or passing by the armoury to hear her husband's shameless question. She sighed in relief to know that no one was there.
Raksheet laughed to see his wife's red embarrassed face. He like it whenever she blush or feel shy infront of him. The red tint instantly spreads on her cheeks and was clearly visible because of her moon white skin.
"Go...go get changed." He said while trying hard to control his laugh "I have placed a attire for you in changing room. Go and wear it."
Ira looked at him in anger after knowing that he have already placed a attire for her in changing room but didn't told her to tease her "You knew about it, yet you didn't told me before! You are so bad!" She placed her sword on table and went towards the changing room while stomping her feet.
"I was just having fun. Don't be angry!" He Shouted so that Ira can hear but she closed her ears with her both hands and went inside the changing room and closed the door with a bang.
"I shouldn't have told her about her dress. Instead of me, my sword would have make her realise it. At least I could have...." He said to himself while looking at his sword with a mischievous smile.
The door of changing room opened, revealing Ira in a black well fitting attire. Her silver hair were tied back. She wasn't wearing any jewellery yet she was looking as beautiful as always. She changed her footwear as well.
Raksheet slowly stood up from his chair as soon as he saw his wife's beautiful figure standing infront of changing room. He looked at her from head to toe, his mouth slightly open in amazement.
Ira walked up to Raksheet and stood straight. She turned round to show Raksheet her attire. She was so happy to wear it that she forgot about her anger on him.
"How am I looking? Does it look good on me?" She asked excitedly.
Raksheet was too lost in her beauty that he didn't heard her voice.
After not getting any answer from him, Ira held Raksheet's hand and shook him. "Raksheet! i am asking you something."
He blinked several times when he came to his sense. He smiled widely and looked at her again. He slides his hands arround her waist and looked at her attire.
"You are looking beautiful." He pulled her close and slightly moved his hand on Ira's waist up and down. He then whispered In her ear "Instead of sword fight.....why don't we practice something else, more existing?"
Ira can feel his hot breath. A shiver ran down her spine. Sensing Raksheet's intentions, she pushed him away.
"D-Don't talk nonsense! Focus on what we came here to do."
He chuckled to see her shyness and picked up his and Ira's sword and gave it to her.
"Let's start then."
They took their positions, pointing the sword at each other.
"Attack princess, let's see your skills."
"Sure."
Ira ran towards him and attacked. Raksheet quickly stopped her attack by his sword and easily pushed her back.
"That's not enough. Your attack should be more powerful."
She nod "Ok."
She tightened her grip on her sword and attacked with all force.
This time, her attack was more powerful than before. She know she can't beat her husband but she want to give her best. Her husband shouldn't feel that his wife is so weak and useless. She is not even good at a activity she has been doing since a long time. But she had to look a little weak as well or else Raksheet may doubt on her, whether she is really sick or not.
But doesn't matter how powerful Ira's attack was, it's nothing infront of her husband's strength. Raksheet was taking her every attack so easily. He didn't had to put any effort to fight back and he wasn't even trying to do. He was just swinging his sword with his one hand as if he is playing with it.
Ira stopped while breathing heavily. Frustration was seen on her face. She was doing her best. She had fought with some soldiers as well and had won. Then why she can't at least give Raksheet hard time.
Raksheet swung his sword in air, playing with it until his wife gather back her energy.
"I know what you are thinking princess." He said while still playing with his sword.
Ira looked at him curiously, wanting to know the reason why her attacks are not bothering him at all.
"I have to say, you have a great strength and skill." He turned his gaze from his sword to Ira. "But it can only beat a commoner, a soldier or a gatekeeper."
Ira clenched her fist in anger. Did he insulted her? Even though she is trying her best? How can he be so rude? She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to control her anger but it was of no use.
Without informing Raksheet about her attack, Ira ran towards him and attacked on him. But Raksheet is not an easy man to trick. He is an alert person who senses danger long before it appears infront of him.
He placed his sword infront of Ira's and grabbed her waist. Ira didn't wanted to give up. She was applying her all force to make Raksheet drop his sword.
"Don't be angry princess. Do you think i am happy to see you like this? Do you think i want you to be a weak fighter?" Raksheet was holding Ira by her waist and trying to stop her but her anger was taking a toll on him.
Not having any other option, Raksheet had to kiss Ira to calm her down. He placed his lips on Ira's that made Ira freeze on her place. Her grip suddenly loosen on her sword, making it fall on floor.
Raksheet dropped his sword as well and placed his other hand on Ira's waist. He then broke the kiss and looked at her angry face.
As soon as Raksheet broke the kiss, Ira pushed him away. "Why did you do that?!"
"I didn't had any other option." He defended himself "You weren't listening to me so I had to kiss you to bring you back to your sense."
She looked away, still feeling annoyed by her husband.
Seeing that Ira is still angry, Raksheet took steps towards her and made her look at him by holding her chin.
"Princess..." Ira brushed his hand away and again looked away.
Raksheet was done with her childish behaviour. Even if he is a patient and loving husband, his patience have limits too. Especially when he becomes a teacher. He can't see the person he is teaching misbehaving or disobeying him. Even if it's his brother or wife.
He grabbed Ira's waist with one hand and her face with other hand to make her look in his eyes and pulled her closer.
Ira gasped and looked at him in his eyes.
"Princess, i don't like it when my student misbehave with me." He said with a serious look that made her heart skip a beat. A shiver ran down her spine. Her legs were shaking after seeing her husband's angry golden eyes like a burning flame that can burn her anytime.
Raksheet removed his hand from Ira's face and closed his eyes, trying to control his anger knowing that his wife is scared of him. He thought to let go Ira but he didn't, because if he loosen his grip on her waist, she will run away and won't dare to come infront of him and talk normally.
Ira was totally scared, her heartbeat was unstable in fear. She know she is wrong this time. She should have listen to Raksheet. He will not say anything to her that can hurt her feelings and demotivate her. He was just saying the truth but may be she is too immature that she can't bear it.
"I-I am sorry." She said in a low trembling voice.
Raksheet breathed softly and rested his head on Ira's shoulder. He hugged her tightly by her waist. "No, i am sorry. I shouldn't have been angry." He tilted his head to look at her face "But you know that i didn't wanted to hurt your feelings, right?"
Ira nod, feeling guilty.
"I want you to be strong so I have to introduce you to your strength and weakness. Don't you want me to do that?"
"I am sorry." Was the only reply Ira can give to him.
"It's ok." He kissed her cheek and caressed it. "No need to apologise." He broke the hug and said "I think we have to stop here today. You go and take some rest. We will continue your training tomorrow. Remember, tomorrow, you have to practice more hard than today, ok?" He said like a strict teacher who is so serious about his work.
Ira nod with a weak smile "Ok. I will work hard."
Raksheet smiled and patted her head. "Now go and take some rest. I have some work to do, i will see you later."
Ira was about to leave but she stopped and asked "Raksheet, Isn't it becoming a disturbance in your work? You have to spend so much time to train me. Your work will get affected because of me."
She added "You are a crown prince, you have to work more nowadays. You are going to get crowned next month. You should spend more time on your work and other important things instead of training me."
Raksheet is a crown prince whose coronation is next month so it's obvious that he have so many work to do. He can't spend his time on Ira's training which is not so important infront of his other responsibilities.
