======================
⬠SULTANATE
The huge door got opened by the guards and I saw a huge Palace quite far from here and there is no garden in between it was all ground. It was quite high and the lamps are illuminating for here to the Palace.
So this is the Palace where that Sultan lived.
The sounds of swords clasping, the painful cries of widow woman the bitter memories filled my mind. My hands fisted in anger and I step forward but someone grabbed my arm and pulled me back to abruptly.
" Where are you going?"
He asked me slightly narrowing his eyes in suspicion. My breathing is heavy because of anger and I look straight in his eyes.
To kil--
" Shehzaade Riyadh"
A man's voice came and I look aside blinked two three times I took a step behind and pull my veil a little down up to my nose.
" Come immediately" the person said to him he is sounding tense.
" Sure"
I heard his voice filled with suspicion and can feel his gaze on me. I heard him clapping two times then I heard the sound of anklets.
" Take her to my wing" he ordered.
I heard the sound of footsteps and I lift my head and look at him and the person who came walking away. The winds was still so strong I grabbed my dupatta.
" Come"
I heard feminine voice and I turned and saw two girls standing there head bowed down. They are wearing same dress they are maids. I nodded and start walking. We went to side and come in a corridor the lamps are placed on either side of wall.
I glance at everything. The architecture, the building structure even the clothes everything is different here. We continue moving till we reached the door.
" This is Prince's Chamber" one of them informed and open the door.
" If you need anything we are just outside at door"
I nodded and step inside and heard the door shut behind me. I step inside my anklets sounds filled the silent ambience. The Chamber is dark everything here is black the floor is made of black marble. There is a huge a balcony in front and I can see the black clouds covering the sky completely. The black curtains are moving because of harsh wind.
I step forward and saw a pool in middle of Chamber and reflection of huge chandelier in it. I look up and saw the Chandelier on ceiling the crystals are also black. I turned and saw huge bed and in front of it couch and a table is placed. I take off my dupatta and walk towards there leaving the dupatta one the side I sat down on the couch my whole body is paining because of long journey.

⬠SULTAN'S CHAMBER
Shehzaade Riyadh and Arim walked towards the Chamber of the Sultan and saw the line of officials standing at the door of his chamber when they saw him there move aside giving him way and Riyadh entered the chamber leaving Arim behind.
The chamber were silent only four people is present there doctor, Danish, Alam, and Sultan who is laying on bed and taking his last breathes. Riyadh walked forward the sound of his footsteps came and which altered Sultan. He slowly move his head and open his eyes. Riyadh stood in front of him close to the edge of bed when the Sultan raised his shaking hand a little and gestured him so come closer.
Riyadh brows pulled together in confusion and the same expression where on Danish and Alam's face who are standing beside the bed. Riyadh moved forward past Danish and Alam and stood beside him clasping his hands back. Sultan moved his hand up trying to grab Riyadh's and all of them watches this move with bewildered.
Riyadh grabbed the Sultan's hand by his both hands and sat down on bed. He stare at the Sultan he is not looking to like the King who has desolated kingdoms, did atrocities on innocent and helpless now looking at him anyone will took pity on him.
" Riyadh.."
The low and weak voice of Sultan came.
" Sultan"Â Riyadh whispered back.
" I know..I know how I treated you from childhood never considered you one of my sons but.."
Riyadh grip tightened on his hand and he clenched his jaw remembering his childhood.
" But now looking back I'm filled with only regret. I'm sorry my son"
Riyadh moved his head aside don't know what to do with this hollow apology.
" But one more thing I realised I don't have much time left and didn't want to left my Sultanate in the hands who will not take care of it that's why I'm giving announcing you the new Sultan of Sultanate"
Riyadh eyes widened and he abruptly looked at the Sultan. Danish and Alam faces paled too and they move forward.
" But how..how could you do it? I'm your Son. I'm your legitimate Son" Danish said leaning towards his father " who is he? The son of a concubine" Danish spat at Riyadh who look at him with him anger.
" Sultan" the voice of doctor came and everyone looked at Sultan slowly his eyes get closed and his hand fell from Riyadh's grip.
" Nice now let's do decision by ourselves. Who left alive will be the next Sultan" saying this Danish pulled out his sword from the cover and swing it.
The sounds of swords classing came when Riyadh defend himself from his attack. He get up and the fights began.
" Back off Riyadh the throne is mine" Danish greeted his teeth but the rage is not less in Riyadh.
The insults which he continued hearing since childhood. How he never got the luxuries of being a Prince. How his achievements was never equal to his brothers who were son of Princess's.
It's nice Danish started the fight because Riyadh was going to do it.
Danish swing the sword and Riyadh bend back making the move get wasted. He straighten up and kick Danish in stomach and he fell back out of the chamber. The officials move away from them. Riyadh step forward standing at the door and a light strick and a sound loud thunder came.
One by one the drops of water start falling on them.Danish get up with anger and both start fighting again and all the officials stood there and watched. The rain gets heavy the sound of water hitting the Danish kicked Riyadh's knee making me bend down and swing his sword but he defended and pushed him back he took two three steps back.
He swing the sword before he can comprehend what happened his eyes widened and the reflection of the sword moving on his throat was clear. He fell down on ground dead.
" Any one else?"
Riyadh look up and scan the crowd.
The people bowed down and one of them yelled loudly.
"Sultan Riyadh"
" Salamat rahe"
" Salamat rahe"
Everyone joined.
Slowly his lips curved up and it turned into a grin. He closes his eyes and tilt his head back feeling the rain pouring on him. He rotate enjoying the echo of his name.
" Sultan Riyadh "
He looked down and smirked.

A H E N K A R A
⬠RIYADH'S CHAMBER
I heard the loud sound door closing and I jerked up. I didn't realise when I fall asleep sitting on the couch. I move my gaze and found him standing looking outside hands clasped back. I get up and walked towards him and my gaze fell on the wound on his forehead arm it was bleeding.
I move forward and stand beside him the side of his lip is bleeding a little too I look all in his appearance it seems like he got into a fight.
" Aapke aane se toh humare mulk me baarish aa gayi"
" Because of your arrival, it rained in my Kingdom" he look at me and grinned and I look outside. He is right the rainfall was quite heavy.
" Aap thik toh hai na"
" Are you fine?" I asked not understanding about his condition.
" Apko humari fikr ho rahi hai?"
" Are you worried about me?" He asked amused and turning towards me he took a step forward and raise his hand but I step back before his hand can touch me.
He let his hand fall and he turned his back towards me. My eyebrows pulled together when he start chuckling.
Did his head got injured in fight?
" Hum thik hai? Nahi hum thik nahi hai"
" Am I fine? No I'm not"
" Humari aarzoo, humari hasrat aaj puri ho gayi. Hum thik kaise ho sakte hai humare hosh udde hue hai"
My desire, my desire has been fulfilled today. How can I be okay, I've lost our senses"
" Hum is Sultanate ke Sultan ban gaye hai"
" I have become the King of this Sultanate"
He yelled while tilting his head up and spreading his arms which was followed by a dark laugh.
I got goosebumps in my arms.
" Ka- kaise?"
" How?" I asked hesitated.
" Sultan died and gave me the Sulatanate" he replied.
What!
I got numb in my place.
Sultan died.
I stumbled back. I raise my hand and place it on my forehead. I come this far from my kingdom my people, I have put my self respect on stake, I married him.
The person I hate the most so I can come here and take revenge from Sultan.
" Ma "
" Maaaa" a little girl cried forwarding her small hand in hope her Ma will turn and come her from someone's hold who is taking her away from her but her mother didn't turn for once and continue walking towards the door followed by other women.
The person run outside and the little girl saw many corpse of soilders in her palace where she used to play everywhere soilders were laying lifeless.
My whole life flashed in front of me.
" Nahi"
" No " I whispered and a lone tear fell from my eye.
" No "
" No " I took steps back and turned gripping the huge metal vessel filled with water I pushed it making it fall.
" Nahhhhiiiii"
Even the loud sound of metal hitting the floor can't conceal my scream.
I was breathing heavily looking at the vessel on floor.
" Mana ki baarish ho rahi par iska matlab yeh nahi aap pani fhelayengi. Pani bohot keemti hai"
" I see rain is happening but that doesn't mean you will waste water. Water is precious"
I slowly raise my head to look at him and his playful experresion turned into serious.
" Hum.."
" I..." I turned slowly towards him.
" Suryapratap Garh ki bhavy Rani yaha itni dur sirf ek hi iccha lekar aayi thi. Sultan se apna pratishode lene"
" The future Queen of Suryapratap Garh came here with only one intension which is take revenge from Sultan" I spoke glaring at him and his gaze turn sharp. I look in front and chuckled.
" Prantu koi baat nahi hume Sultan ka rakt chahiye.. "
" Doesn't matter I want Sultan's blood.." I walk forward and take out one sword from the stand and move towards him swinging the sword towards him he eyes widened and he raise his hand to stop the sword and I move the sword with power making it slice his palm.
" Or vo hum lekar hi rahege"
" I will take it" drops of blood fell on the floor.
He look down then look up in my eyes. He clenched his jaw and took a sharp breath before taking a step forward but I again swing the sword making him bend backwards.
I continue attack him and he tried to dodge the attacks.
" Tumne hume apne gande haatho se chua, humne seh liya"
" You have touched me by your dirty hands, I tolerate that" he bumped in to the dresser behind him and I move my sword but he moved away in time and the sword collide with the items placed on it making all of them fall. The small mirror fall down and break into pieces and in reflection the Prince was moving back and I came forward.
" Tumne humare Pitaji se humare or apne baare me aasatya kaha humne ne bo bhi sehen kar liya"
" You have lied to my father about your and my relationship and I have tolerated too" he is standing against the pillar and I move the sword and it collided with the lamp hanging on pillar and it fell down and red sparkles flow out until smoke come out of it.
" Hum bhavy Rani the or tumne hume Suryapratap Garh se nishkashit kara diya, humne yeh bhi seh liya. Par hum tumhari karan apna pratishode na le paye yeh hume sehen nahi Ahh"
" I was the future Queen of Suryapratap Garh and you made me kicked out from there I tolerated this too. But because id you I didn't able to take my revenge I can't tolerate this. Ahh" I run towards him and with full force I move it down but he moved away and it got stuck in the wood of bed.
I pulled it out and look around there is no sign of it. The whole chamber turned dark because all the lamps got extinguished. The lightening strike and making everything visible for a second until I turned into pitch black again.
" Bahar aa jao kayar"
" Come out coward" I took steps back and stood in middle rotating around to find him but there is no sign.
Suddenly I heard a sound and I turned towards it and in a flash someone grabbed me from behind.
" Mmm choro hume!"
" Leave me!" I try to struggle in his grip. He grab my right hand from which I'm holding sword and I grab his forearm by my left hand to remove his grip from my shoulders.
" Bohot kuch kar chuki ho Shehzaadi or nahi"
" You have done enough Princess now stop" He twist my wrist painfully almost at the point of breaking. I squeezed my eyes shut and clenched my teeth but the sword fell from my hand and he shoved me with full force making me whirl and fell on the bed.
I supported myself with hands and turn back to look at him. I saw the sword in his hand as he walk slowly but in predatory way towards me. My heartbeat is fast and my hair strands stick to the side of my face because of sweat. Lighting strike again and I saw him. He has a evil grin on his face and then it turn dark again making me see only his stillhoutee.
I was panting my chest moving up and down fastly. He stood close to me and I saw the metal of sword shine and he raise it.
