Princess Anya was specially invited by their distant aunt and Indu accompanied Anya, while Amir accompanying Indu, and to protect all the three siblings the King had sent Prince Arjun who was getting better and back to his normal self.

The siblings were excited to visit the Alley Kingdom of Nanda, where their aunt Queen Nalini and her husband the King Sethu ruled. They had heard stories of the grand festival that was held every year to celebrate the kingdom's prosperity and diversity. They packed their bags and boarded the royal carriage, escorted by a dozen guards.

The journey was long and tiring, but they enjoyed the scenery along the way. They saw green fields, sparkling rivers, and majestic mountains. They also encountered many different people, who greeted them with smiles and respect. The king had tightened the security as this would be the first time they were travelling after the terror of the Demon tyrant had started.

They arrived at the capital city of Nanda, where they were welcomed by Queen Nalini and her son Prince Nayan. They hugged and kissed their relatives, and exchanged pleasantries. They were then taken to the palace, where they were given lavish rooms and delicious food. They rested for a while, and then prepared for the festival.

The festival was supposed to be 5 days long of spectacle of colors, sounds, and smells. There were stalls selling all kinds of goods, from clothes and jewelry to books and toys from all around the kingdom in the headquarters.

There were supposed to be performers showcasing their talents, from dancers and singers to magicians and acrobats. And many more ceremonies and rituals for the adults, honoring the gods and the lake of the land Nila their goddess, the ancestors and the heroes, and the king and the queen.

Princess Anya had no idea why she was invited to the festival in the Alley Kingdom of Nanda. She thought it was just a courtesy from her aunt Queen Nalini, who wanted to strengthen the ties between their kingdoms. She was happy to go, as she loved traveling and learning new things. She was also looking forward to meet Heir Prince Nayan, whom she had heard was a handsome and charming young man.

What she didn't know was that Prince Nayan had a secret crush on her. He had seen her once, when he visited the Kingdom of Rana for a diplomatic mission. He was impressed by her intelligence and eloquence, and he felt a connection with her. He wanted to get to know her better, and he hoped to win her heart. He asked his mother to invite her to the festival, and he planned to woo her with his charm and wit.

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Prince Nayan was smitten by Princess Anya ever since he saw her but he was not very good at flirting. He was shy, nervous, and clumsy around her.

Prince Nayan came in to welcome the siblings "Greetings, Princess Anya. I am honored to meet you at last. I have heard so much about your beauty and wisdom."

Anya blushed at this replying"Thank you, Prince Nayan. I appreciate your kind words. I have also heard of your bravery and generosity." Walking side by side while he gave the tour of the kingdom "You are too modest, Princess Anya. You are the most brilliant diplomat in the land. You have resolved many conflicts and forged many alliances........" he paused will it make him look like a creep "or so I heard." He continued Anya preened at this she always loved the comments on her skills instead of the beauty and calmness of a princess "Diplomacy is a skill that requires patience and understanding. I try to do my best for the sake of peace and prosperity."

Prince Nayan flustered at this "You are truly admirable, Princess Anya. You have a noble heart and a keen mind. You are the perfect matc..... for- what I I mean is you are a perfect person to be a queen of any nation...."

Amir pulled Indu down at this attempt of Prince Nayan asking " why is the prince so red Indu? Is our sister so scary......" He asked innocently.

Indu smiled at this well ofcourse Anya was scary even grown men were afraid of debating her elder sister but right now the stuttering of Prince nayan had a whole new reason.

"Well it's because this evil prince Nayan wants to kidnap our beloved sister it seems we have been tricked to come here." She teased the young prince Amir whose eyes widened "Nooooo.... I'll protect her." Amir said getting between Nayan and Anya holding Anya's hand firmly.

Princess Anya raised an eyebrow at this but decided to ignore "Is that so, Prince Nayan? And what makes you think that I am so capable?"

"Well, you are young and attractive. and heir to powerful kingdom. You have a sense of duty and honor. You could rule the world with any Prince you marry, Princess Anya." Nayan replied rubbing his nape and

looking everywhere but Anya.

Princess Anya smiled politely "I see. And do you think there might be other qualities that would make me interested , something I am looking for, in a prince......Prince Nayan?"

Holy hell was Indu witnessing the impossible Anya taking interest in some one. She smiled walking behind both of them in a little distance.

"Of course, Princess Anya I know of many talents and hobbies princesses like an excellent horseman or archer, hunting and fishing or or someone who can play flute and the lute, recite poetry and tell jokes make you laugh and swoon, something like that I assume" Nayan went out listing of the hobbies he knew off trying to impress Anya.

Well he listed out everything else but something Anya would be interested in Indu sighed at this.

Princess Anya tried suppressing a yawn "How fascinating, Prince Nayan. You are indeed a man of intelligence. But tell me, do you think there might be any Prince interested in the affairs of the world or vision for the future? passion for anything other than themselves for the people"

They were talking in third person but clearly testing each other, wow this was some highly hidden flirting Indu was witnessing clearly not going well.

Prince Nayan stammered "Well, I... I mean, I... I care about the people, of course. What I mean is there are Princes who care about their people who want to be a good king, a fair and just king......"

Princess Anya softly cuts him off "I'm sorry, Prince Nayan, but I have to interrupt you. We are very tired from the Journey kindly excuse me."

Prince Nayan was confused in his mind everything was going well she seemed interested"What? Wait, Princess Anya, ofcourse you all must be tired Ill lead you to your rooms we talk again........ later?" He asked hopefully.

Princess Anya nods walking away "ofcourse we can Prince Nayan........ Perhaps. Goodbye for now." Princess Indu followed her sister with Amir smiling and feeling a pang of pity for the Prince "Well, that was awkward." She whispered to herself.

Princess Anya rolled her eyes who haad clearly heard that "You can say that again."

Princess Indu giggled holding her sister's other hand "Poor Prince Nayan. He tried so hard to impress you, but he failed miserably."

Princess Anya sighed at this "what can i say Indu, He is handsome and charming, but he is also looks shallow and vain. He has no substance, no depth, no spark..... I felt like I was talking to a stuttering child instead of a prince who had planned on wooing me calling us here in his land , why didn't I notice this before our aunt had never specially invited us to the festival like these."

Princess Indu nodded "I agree, Anya. This invite was definitely not without a reason.but give him some time he must have not got time to prepare you know you are kinda scary sis"

"Yeahhh and I'm not going to let them kidnap you Anya , not matter how scary and mean you are to me I still love you." Prince Amir said from below the seven years old prince hugging princess Anya dearly.

Princess Indu smiled at this "Thank you, Amir You are the best brother in the world. We love you......"

"You can ignore that" Indu whispered that to Anya whose eyebrows were raised at that.

Princess Indu sighed at this, it was only day 1 the prince definitely had many more chances.

Adding the supporting cast to the plot every supporting characters would have their own individual arc shorter stories which would be completed and move along parallel to our main couple.

Hope you like this new budding couple of Nande.
