Chapter 1

Chaos at royal court…

“It’s been one year and three hundred and forty days since he left. It’s almost two years, will he be remembering us?” says a person in a dark room with only a window for sunlight to enter.

“Yeah! I can’t say how time passed so quickly before two years we were just like three small kids and look now so much has changed. Have you ever thought what would he be doing now?”

“It was my fault I should have told him before hand about what was going to happen. If I had the courage to fight back he would have not left”

“Maybe it was or maybe it was not. No one could have done what you did in your place. You did this for greater goo”

Suddenly they hear someone approaching.

“ Princess your brother King Kali had send summons for you. He requests that you and your friend come to the royal court we have a visitor” says the maid and leaves.

“Goddam! I told my brother that I don’t want to see any marriage proposals……”

“Maybe you should start looking for someone it’s already been two years you can’t wait any further. You are the royal princess the heir to the kingdom. And because of the rule for a queen to occupy the throne is marriage you have to hurry”

“I can’t, I can’t not with anyone else I will wait for him even if it takes me years….”

“Are You are Child! You are going to become the ruler of this kingdom and you are behaving like a child. How long are you planning to throw this tantrum of yours! You possibly can’t wait for him this long. Who now’s weather he is alive or not……”

“Mind your language! Commander Aman. Even though you are a childhood friend I can’t accept anything against him!”

“Sorry for my sudden outrage but when you act foolishly I can’t control. I am leaving” saying this he leaves the princess alone to her thoughts in the dark room.

“Maybe you are right ……….. But I can’t forget him.

Where are you what are you doing have you forgotten us, does our existence even matter to you?”

She then gets dressed feeling nostalgic about the memories that haunt her till today. The next heir to the kingdom Princess Ananya gets ready to leave for the royal court where her future is going to be decided. She now seems to get the concept. It’s better to accept ones fate rather than to fight it and change it. Because trying to change it will only bring damage to one very own existence.

But…. How can she forget the warmth of his touch still that lingers in chest?

The royal court was huge in terms of its size. The sear complexity of its design is an mystery because for the protection of king it is designed in such a way that when there is an sudden assault from the front then the assaulters will need at least one and a half minute to reach where they king throne is. This time limit helps the royal family to escape through secret tunnel behind the throne.

But If the attackers are archers even then it would be impossible to shoot an arrow straight at the throne because due to special ventilation system .

There is continuous stream of air blowing through the middle of the court so it would be impossible for an arrow to hit it’s target.

“Welcome my dear sister. Please have a seat………” the king tries his best to calm down his raging sister.

(Ohh! Man today she going to create hell…..Dad where are you) thinks King Kali.

“Cut the crap out. Tell me the reason for you to summon me”

‘She’s really ruthless man!’ royal court members begin chatting but no-one dares to say it loud in front of her.

‘Yeah it maybe because she is his highness sister so she could do so if anyone of us tried this we very to be executed immediately' whispers another member.

(Why is my own sister like this to me God? Father were are you I need your help. It’s because of you! You pampered her so much that she is like this now…… Someone help me) poor King Kali thinking in his mind.

King Kali slightly looks at supreme commander Lord Aman for help in this painful situation. Lucky for him commander knows what he has to do.

(Yeah this person will help me! Commander this is your right time to show your loyalty to me. He He He He!)

(Yeah sure your highness. I can totally understand your situation. We both are invincible team Kali. Ha Ha Ha Ha!)

Both talk to each other only through gestures.

“Excuse me princess. The reason for calling you so sudden is the serious matter of the Old King Faction. It seems that they are trying to expand their territory by shady means. The now have already capture and isolated the northern and southern frontier of our kingdom. Though these regions are strategically less important to us but they are now trying to capture the western frontier also” explains Supreme Commander Aman trying to change the topic.

“Yeah! That’s a serious matter we possibly can’t do anything now as they have sabotaged both the region and quarantined them by destroying all the bridges and tunnels connecting them to main kingdom.” The King explains.

“Though the area under their control is less than thirteen percent of total kingdom. But if they keep at this rate of capturing new land it would soon end up to forty maybe sixty percent of total land” says one of the ministers.

“So what is the reason for summoning me here. It is not possible for my dear brother to listen to my suggestions” says princess sarcastically.

Ananya had always been trying to explain her brother to carry out a campaign to reclaim the lost land but due to some reason he never would listen.

“The main problem here is that Old King Faction knows that after me you are going to be next heir to the royal throne. So according to intelligence reports they are trying to abduct you and force in negotiations or even threaten. As you know there were previous attempts for your assassination so I have………”

“No need brother you and I both know that previous royal bodyguards were killed every time an attempt happened. The are to naïve to be my guards. So no need I can take care of myself. I am leaving…..”
