Suryavansha Empire Rajputana Era A kingdom built on fire, blood and honor Where the sun rises first and bows to no one Just like its King. ☀️

There are kings who rule with words. There are kings who rule with gold And then There is him. 👑

Maharaj Anshveer Suryavansh The Suryavansha Empire's most feared ruler Enemy armies turn back at the mere mention of his name His own soldiers pray before entering his war room Not because he is cruel Because he is absolute ⚔️

This is the king the world sees. Unyielding. Unreadable. Untouchable. Cold in court. Absolute on the battlefield. A man who has never once needed anything — Or anyone. 🖤

Maharaja Anshveer Age : 29 king of suryavansha empire loves his family so much trust them lost his mother when he was 6 year's old have step mother loves her so much and younger step brother and respect his father so much and youngest king

And now The other side of this story🌸

While an empire trembles under the weight of a king's name On a small sunlit street outside the palace gates A girl is arguing with a jasmine vine that refuses to cooperate 😭🌸

No royal blood. No last name worth mentioning in court No parents No protection No palace Just flowers Sunlight And two very stubborn hands with dirt under the nails

Owner of the smallest and somehow most beloved flower shop outside the Suryavansha palace gates. Her mornings smell of crushed petals and wet earth. Her hands are always stained with something rose, marigold, jasmine. And she wouldn't have it any other way. 🌸

The vine does not cooperate

This is Aria. Quietly intelligent. Deeply observant. Soft in ways the world hasn't managed to harden yet. 🌸 She has no parents. But she built something anyway Small. Sunlit Entirely hers A little shop that smells like everything the palace doesn't. 🌸✨Her only thread to that cold golden world Is her mother Who works inside those walls every single day And comes home every night with tired eyes and hushed stories 💔

[tired arriving home] The King was in the war room until midnight again

Aria—

She has never seen him Never been inside those gates To her Maharaj Anshveer Suryavansh is just a name. A shadow that steals her mother away every morning ( although sitavati is like a Cook not a personal maid) She doesn't fear him She doesn't worship him She simply Doesn't think about him at all🌸

Aria is the only daughter and doesn't have a father She loves her mother so much she is 23 years old and owns a flower shop her mother doesn't want her to be maid so she keeps her away from the palace because she thinks " if poor people have Beauty and talents it's still a curse for them and high class won't allow it)

But wait Before we go further into this story There are certain people you need to know about. Certain smiles you need to learn to read 🐍

Inside the Suryavansha palace Where gold lines every wall and incense never stops burning There is a woman who has perfected the art of warmth. 🪔

She wakes before dawn for her prayers She speaks of family with tears in her eyes She touches Anshveer's face like a devoted mother She is Devastatingly difficult to suspect🐍

Meet Rani Kamlavati The stepmother The smile with teeth🐍 She is not cold. Cold women are easy to read. She is warm Suffocatingly Dangerously Warm. 😨

[To a palace maid softly] Has Maharaj eaten this morning?

Ji Rani Sa(yes queen) He was in the war room since dawn

Send his favorite dish immediately He works too hard Someone has to take care of him

[The maid smiles] What a devoted mother What a graceful queen

And across the room Her eyes drift to her son Prince Raaj And something shifts Imperceptibly But it shifts 👀

[Quietly, only to herself] Be patient my son The throne was always meant for you I just need a little more time

Everything she does Every tear Every prayer Every warm smile directed at Anshveer Is for one purpose And one purpose only Her son On that throne 👑She is a loving mother That part is real But she has let that love rot into something monstrous And the most terrifying part? She doesn't even see it anymore Remember this face Remember this warmth Because when the poison starts spreading It will wear exactly this smile

And then There is the son Every poisonous tree Has fruit Meet Prince Raaj Singh

On the surface He is everything a prince should be Well dressed. Well spoken Perfectly composed He laughs at the right moments Bows at the right moments Smiles at the right moments😊

But underneath that performance Is a man who has watched his brother sit on a throne his entire life And smiled through every single second of that humiliation

[Entering the court, warm smile] Bhai "Always an honor to be in your presence" 🙂

[Not even looking up from his maps] Raaj...*cold voice*

One word. Not even a glance And Raaj's smile stays perfectly intact

This is what nobody sees That single moment After Anshveer looks away. When Raaj's eyes go completely flat. He is not stupid. That is important to understand. He has his mother's talent for performance. His mother's patience. His mother's ability to smile while burning inside. But unlike her He is messier The ambition leaks through the cracks when he's angry The resentment bleeds through when he's caught off guard He wants the throne He wants the fear He wants the respect Everything Anshveer has He wants And he is terrified of Anshveer Genuinely Physically Terrified That is his greatest contradiction. He wants to be feared By the very man he fears most For now He waits He watches He performs The perfect prince. The devoted brother. The obedient son. 😊 But remember this A caged threat is still a threat. And the cage has one weakness. One specific crack One name that makes his mask slip Without fail Every single time But we will get to her Soon enough🌸

Raaj is 27 years old and second prince of the kingdom

Now... Every story has a villain who plots from the shadows and then There is the kind who walks straight into the light Head high Smile perfect and still somehow More dangerous than all of them👸

Meet... Princess Yamini The entitled one The scorned almost-queen The danger in silk 👸🖤

She was supposed to be queen In her head It was practically already decided. Anshveer is powerful She is beautiful and politically advantageous It simply made sense She had already imagined the throne beside his Already practiced the title

[entering the court perfectly composed] Every head turns. She expects that. She has always expected that

She moves through royal spaces like she was born owning them Because in her mind She was

[To her attendant, quietly] How does the Maharaj seem today?

Busy as always Princess The war room since dawn

[Soft smile] He works too hard He needs someone steady beside him Someone who understands this world

She means herself She has always meant herself

She is polished. Political She knows exactly how to move in royal spaces. Exactly what to say Exactly when to smile. Exactly how to make herself Indispensable She is princess and daughter of rani Kamlavati's brother that's why is she live in this palace

And then he chose a flower girl. A commoner and no last name worth mentioning in court. The humiliation of that is something Yamini will never forgive. Not Anshveer she still wants him. Power is attractive and she is nothing if not strategic. But that girl? That jasmine scented, soft eyed, completely undeserving girl? She will smile at her. Warmly. Perfectly. Every single time they meet. Because here is what Yamini will never admit not even to herself this was never really about the throne. She wanted to be chosen. She wanted to be enough. She wanted someone as powerful as Anshveer to look at her and say yes. You. Only you. He looked right past her at a girl with jasmine in her hair. And that that is the wound that will never heal. Remember of all the dangers inside this palace a woman who has never been told no and is learning what that feels like for the very first time is the most unpredictable danger of all. 🔥

And now The tragedy 💔 Not every villain in this story carries poison Some carry something far more destructive Weakness 💔

Meet Raja Vikram Singh Anshveer's father Once the greatest king this empire had ever seen Once 💔

People still say it In hushed, careful voices "Raja Vikram Singh was a good king." "Once." That word Once Is doing a lot of heavy lifting. 💔

[Entering slowlytired eyes] He still carries himself like a king Barely Like a man wearing a crown that has become too heavy But cannot remember how to put it down

[Rushing to his side, warm smile] "You look tired my love. Come Rest Let me take care of everything

[Visibly softening] "Kamlavati—"

Shh. I am here I am always here...

Every maid who passes it Lowers her eyes respectfully. Every soldier who walks that corridor Straightens his back without knowing why. Even the palace walls seem Quieter here. 🙏

Jasmine. 🌸

That's it for today guys! 🥰 I'm honestly so tired after this first episode but in the best way possible! I know the introduction was a little long but trust me I'm trying to build something really special here. For myself and for you guys! 🙏 You won't believe the journey behind this story. I started with a rough idea of a modern royal type story and after so much thinking, changing and starting over this is where I finally landed. And I genuinely feel like this is the one. 🔥 I have put my whole heart into Agni Bandhan and I really really hope you guys feel that while reading it! 🙏🖤 Please show some love likes and comments mean the world to a beginner author! 🥺 They literally keep me going! Thank you so much for reading! See you in the next episode! 🔥👑 Byeee cuties! 🥰

Okay okay wait I know that was A LOT of information. 😭

Let me summarize what just happened We have a king who is basically walking danger with good hair. 👑 A flower girl who is too pure for this world. 🌸 A stepmother who should WIN an award for best actress. 🐍🏆 A stepbrother who needs serious therapy. 👿 A princess with a bruised ego the size of the Suryavansha Empire. 👸 A father who is just 💔 Bhai somebody help him. 😭

And then there is Maharani Gayatri Devi Who is literally just a portrait at this point But somehow still the scariest person in this entire story.

Aria baby if you are reading this PLEASE don't deliver those flowers. 🌸😭 PLEASE just stay in your shop. Water your jasmine vine. Argue with your plants. Stay FAR away from that palace. 😭🌸

She won't listen though. 😔 She never listens. 😔 I wrote her and she still won't listen to me. 😭😂

Yeah sure not your fault 🙃

Anyway... See you in episode 2... Where everything starts going wrong 😇🔥

Byeee...

Hii cuties 🥰 Here I'm again with the next episode...

Let's start.....

[doing morning Surya namaskar ( hinduism exercise i don't know much) after that taking bath...]

to be honest our Maharaj is soo handsome i think whoever he will marry is going to be very lucky [ said to another maid]

Yeah but he will surely marry a princess ( reply back )

[After shower] He stands in the training ground Alone. The way he prefers it. White angrakha loose hair bare hands And a sword that moves like it is part of him. ⚔️

[Not looking up cleaning his sword] "Speak"( Cold voice)

The eastern border remains stable. The grain supply to the southern villages has been dispatched. And [hesitates]

[Eyes sharp immediately] And?

[Sweating slightly] "The minister of trade Dhanraj Has been found taking bribes from the merchant guild. Third time this month Maharaj."

Remove him. Today. Replace his position by evening.( cold voice)

Ji Maharaj ( okay king) but his family connections"

[Finally looks up]

Ji Maharaj By evening Understood

Ariaaa wake up before you get late I'm going now or I'll get late okay ( said while packing her things )

ARIAAA!
