The year 1542 A.D. would forever be remembered as the night the kingdom drowned in blood.
The palace gates had already fallen.
Enemy soldiers stormed inside like a raging flood—torches blazing, swords clashing, screams tearing through the royal corridors. The marble floors that once echoed with music and laughter now echoed only with death.
Flames climbed the golden pillars.
Smoke curled through the sacred halls.
The scent of ash and iron filled the air.
At the center of the chaos stood
𝙈𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙟𝙖 𝙈𝙖𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝘿𝙚𝙫𝙖
His sword moved like lightning—swift and merciless.
Blood splashed across his royal armor as enemy bodies collapsed around him.

Almost lost in the noise of war.
unknown girl
Cha…kra…varti…
Only one person in this world called him that.

Nuvvu ikkada enduku vachav
(TRASLATION : Why did you come here)
Maharaja Mahendravarma Deva (Past ml)

𝗔𝗿𝗱𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶 ......
𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗹
- Express Writer
𝗠𝗟 :- 𝗠𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗮
They say power changes with time.
Kings lost their crowns.
Thrones turned into boardrooms.
But some men are born to rule—
no matter the era.
𝗠𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗮 is one of them.
At just twenty-seven, he is known as the richest man in India.
The media calls him a business prodigy.
The market calls him a storm.
As the Chairman and Managing Director of Deva Automotive Group, he controls one of the country’s largest automobile manufacturing and distribution empires.
Share prices rise when he speaks.
Deals collapse when he refuses.
Executives fall silent the moment he enters a room.
Yet the man who owns everything
sleeps like someone who has lost something priceless.
Every night, the same dream returns.
A burning palace.
An ivory saree soaked in blood.
A woman’s trembling voice.
“𝗔𝗿𝗱𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶…”
The name escapes his lips before consciousness reaches him.
He does not know her face.
He does not know her story.
But his soul remembers her pain.
Born into the legendary Deva family,
he was named after the greatest king in Deva history—
and unknowingly, he is paying the price for that name.
They say money can buy anything.
They are wrong.
Because if it could…
Mahendravarma Deva would have bought sleep.
𝗙𝗟 :- 𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗮 𝗥𝗮𝗼
And then—
𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗮 𝗥𝗮𝗼 is Just twenty years old.
A first-year student at Vikram College of Law in Swarnapuram State.
Naughty.
Cute.
Lazy.
A walking bundle of mischief.
She took life lightly.
The future lightly.
And rules—not at all.
Serious discussions bored her.
Long plans annoyed her.
Responsibilities? She’d think about them tomorrow.
She loved playing pranks on everyone—
especially her sister.
A lover of dark romance novels
and a die-hard K-drama fan.
She escaped household chores expertly
and believed naps were far more important than career planning.
Yet—
She loved fiercely.
Her mother.
Her sister.
But her father?
He was her favorite human on earth.
