CHAPTER 27

Gauri released the arrow and it met at the center of the target.

Lowering her bow, she turned to look at the head arrowsmith. “This batch of arrows is fine.”

She was at the training area testing the new batch of arrows.

“Do you like the new design, madam?” the head arrowsmith said.

Gauri frowned. She had only focused on the practical design of the arrow and hadn’t looked at the aesthetics. She picked up an arrow from the quiver and looked at it.

Anger shot through her. “Who ordered these changes?” she asked., angry that her enemy husband was once again asserting his claim on her clan.

The Thakvar insignia with an attacking tiger was added at the tail ends along with the striking cobra snake of the Bhil clan insignia.

The head arrowsmith looked surprised. “Your uncle gave the instructions, madam. He said it was to honor the alliance.”

Gauri knew her uncle wanted to appease the Thakvars and also let other clans know that the alliance was successful.

Although it infuriated her, she knew it was necessary to show that the alliance was successful.

Just like my enemy husband.

Although she found the man infuriating, his presence was necessary.

“Mr. Thakvar hasn’t seen the new design, madam.”

“There’s no need,” she said. “He will be too busy to look at the design.”

“Oh, but he’s coming here, madam.”

She turned, and her stomach fluttered annoyingly. He was dressed in a western buttoned shirt and pants, indicating he was working in his home office. He must have stepped out to take a break.

“Good morning, my dear wife,” he greeted.

Anger flashed through her at his deliberate mockery. He knew she was still putting on an act to show her people that they were happily married with their marriage consummated and no threat to the alliance.

“Mr. Thakvar, please take a look at the new batch of arrows. They are designed to honor the alliance between the Thakvar and Bhil clans.”

Rishab Thakvar held the arrow and looked at it for a long moment. “These are quite well-designed.”

The arrowsmith beamed with pride. “Thank you, sir. We use the best of the materials.”

The older man explained in detail the materials used to make the arrows as well as the bows. Rishab Thakvar listened quietly without interrupting.

He even held the crossbow to take a closer look.

Her anger grew because of his presence in her domain. She wanted to order him out and ask him not to interfere. But she knew he would do the opposite to challenge her and assert his dominance.

Suddenly, an idea struck her.

She found a way to stop him from interfering and also to humiliate him the way he had humiliated her by rejecting her.

“You should test these arrows,” she suggested. “Not just by looking at them, but using them to see if they are efficient.”

He looked up from the crossbow and his eyes met with her challenging ones.

“Sure,” he replied.

He picked up the crossbow and looked at the arrows.

“These are for the crossbow, Mr. Thakvar,” the arrowsmith handed him a quiver with shorter arrows.

Rishab Thakvar nodded and picked up an arrow and placed it in the crossbow.
