⬠RAJMAHAL
⬠AHENKARA'S CHAMBER
⬠NIGHT
The whole chamber is in chaos the maids where in every corner of the Chamber and I'm moving restless across the room holding my left wrist which has only one bangle.
" Rajkumari ji dophar me vishram dene ki kya jarurat thi agar apko sari ratri humse parisharam hi karwana tha"
" Princess, if you want us to work whole night then why did you gave holiday in afternoon" Chapla complained and I look at her with sadness.
" Tumhe pata hai na vo sirf ek kangan nahi hai "
" You know it's not an ordinary bangle, right?" I remind her and she nodded understanding my sadness.
" Rajkumari ji..hum kaise bhi us kangan ko dundh lenge"
" Princess we will somehow find the bangle" she come forward and grabbed my hands.
" Princess we have searched whole chamber there is no bangle" the maid informed and we both look at her.
" We will search whole night till we found..." Chapla moved ahead towards the maid and I gripped her wrist and stopping her.
" It's ok you all can leave" I said to the maid and she nodded and along with her others also left.
" You leave too Chapla we will find it in morning" she nodded and left.
I raise my hands and place them on my head taking a deep breath closing my eyes. I open my eyes and look around at my scattered chamber, around the bath area but after finding nothing their I went to the balcony and look around at every corner with the help of flambeau when I see something shine and instantly a happy wave come into me and I run towards it and sat down but my smile left when I realised the shiny thing isn't my bangle it was a dagger.
I pick up the dagger to examine it was shinning brightly seems like it was made of gold. I open it and a sharp blade came out it has a tiny chain attached from it's handle to blade it was very beautiful but how it came here. Expensive weapons is a status symbol the guards can't have it.
Suddenly the imges of morning flashed when the guards grabbed that pervert soilder.
Is this his?
My eyes widened and I stood up when realisation hit me. It can happen he stole it from someone and maybe he came my chamber to steal something and he stole my bangle.
I will not spare him.
^^^^^
⬠KARAGAAR
The silence is spread everywhere the flambeau is burning and some or it's flame fell down and it turned into dark red colour then slowly the fire subside it become black and smoke comes out of it a foot pressed it and move forward it was a soilder who is taking the food for the prisoner who dared to step in Princess's chamber.
He stood in front of the cell and held the plate from one hand and take out a keyring it filled the sound in empty environment and shoved one key in the lock and the iron door opened making noises. He step inside and take a look around it was so dark suddenly two hands come in view and snapped his neck and he fell down.
Shehzaade Riyadh come forward and light fell on him he squat down and took the keyring which was attached to his belt and write something on the sand ground with the help of key and come outside locking the door. He made his way to the horse stable
" Shehzaade.."
" Prince.." Arim whispered coming from behind Riyadh nodded acknowledged him and they both looked at horses from fench. The guards were sleeping Riyadh jumped inside from the fench followed by Arim. They slowly made their way towards the horses and take their reins. Riyadh sat on the horse and horse neigh loudly waking up the guards they look startled as two persons move with speed in front of their eyes.

⬠Ahenkara's Chamber
I heard the sound of horse running and I grab my lehenga from one hand and move towards the railing and saw two persons moving towards the gate of Palace with urgency.
Maybe some important matter.
I come in my chamber and pick up a black dupatta and wrap it around my head with one hand I cover my face with dupatta and by other I gripped the flambeau and made my way towards the jail.
I climb down the stairs and saw the guards which are supposed to guard the cells are sleeping without any care.
I swear when I will become Queen I will fire all of them.
I look at guard who is sleeping facing the wall. Is this a way to sleep? Where is he? I look inside the cells but all of them is dark but one thing caught my attention a cell door is wide open. I walk towards it and entered inside and saw a guard sleeping on his stomach on ground.
Now this is enough.
I was about to turn and go to complaint about them to my father when I saw some pattern on the ground. My brows pulled in together in confusion and I slowly walk towards it and squat down and bring flambeau and the sand looked golden my frown turned more deep when I tried to focus on the words. Something is written but the words aren't familiar.
Aapne hume kaid kiya humari beizzati ki iska badla hum le kar rahenge taiyaar ho jayiye Shehzaadi Ahenkara is baar hum apko kaid karenge.
Agli mulakat jald hogi.
Shehzaade- e - Sultanate
Shehzaade Riyadh.
" Shehzaade Riyadh" I whispered. Although it was written in hindi the words are different I have never heard them it seems this is another language but whatever is written it is a threat for sure.
I move my hand across the ground erasing the message and my gaze went to side where teh soilder is laying.
He is not sleeping he is dead along with everyone else.
A shiver run through my body. I get up gripping my lehenga I made my way out of the prison. I come back into my chamber and sat on the edge of my bed the words aren't leaving my head.
^^^^^
⬠Forest
" Shehzaade"
The bornfire was burning between them Arim was sat on one side and Riyadh was sitting on another side leaning against the tree.
" Iski himmat kaise hui humare kasksh me pravesh karne ki. Man toh kar raha hai ki iski aankhein nikal li jaye jin ankhon se isne hume dekhane ka dusahas kiya uske baad iske pair kate jaye jin ke karan yeh humare kasksh me aaya or hath kaate jaye"
{How dare he entered my chamber. I want that his eyes will be removed then cut his arms and legs}
" Hum Rajkumari Ahenkara ishe 100 kode marne ki dand dete hai"
{ I, Princess Ahenkara punished him with 100 kode}
The words were keep replying in his mind making his blood boil with uncontrollable rahe he is the Prince of Sultanate he has won so many wars and a Princess a Princess of a small Kingdom punished him in front of everyone.
His ego got hurt so bad.
He move his hand from ground to his waist where he placed his favorite dagger but find something unfamiliar he look down and saw something stuck to the fabric there. He pick the thing up and look at it in light it was a bangle his brows furrow as he gazes at the bangle holding it in front of him.
A gust of wind come moving his hair across his forehead and blowing all the rage with it and taking all the memories. He remembered the girl with intoxicating eyes her face was hidden but her eyes.
It was enough to drown a whole army.
" Aap badle me Rajkumari ka kangan le aaye"
" In revenge you have taken Princess's bangle"
This broke his throught and he look up at Arim who is looking at him with amused experresion hearing the mere mentioned of that Princess all his rage come back with force and he stood up. He clenched the bangle on his fist and look at sideways towards Arim the golden light of fire is falling on half of his face.
" Get up we have to get ready for a war"
He move his way towards the horse the sound of crushing leaves come as he walked towards teh and horse untying his reign from the branch of tree he move it away and sat on him and look at Arim who is standing close to the borfire.
" Let's go" Riyadh ordered and he nodded making his way towards his horse and they both start their journey.

⬠MORNING
⬠AHENKARA'S CHAMBER
I feel someone placing a hand on my arm and I immediately jerked up from my sleep and sat up looking at the person with wide eyes.
" Princess you fine?" Chapla looked at me worried.
I close my eyes and took a deep breath calming my racing heart.
" I'm fine just got a little startled" I tuck my hair strands behind my ear " what happened?" I open my eyes and look at Chapla with a small smile.
" It's almost afternoon " she informed and get up from bed and left.
The words again replyed in my mind. I pulled my white quilt and get down from bed.
⬠SNAN KAKSH
I take some sandalwood paste from my bowl and rub it on my left arm.
I punished him with 100 kode normal person won't even got up for two days and he not only escaped but killed so many soilders.
" Done Princess"
The maid move my hair to front and place the streaming box down and I come out from the pool and after getting dressed I come out and sat in front of the mirror and maids start getting me ready. One is combing my hair and another one is applying alta on my hands.
My gaze fell on the dagger which I placed on the bowl pull of pearls. I should have understood earlier he is not some ordinary soilder his looks, his way of talking everything is different.
~~~~
I made my way towards the library and find so silence here. I move inside and saw hundreds of books placed in the shelves. I made my way close and raise my hand and the sound of bangles filled the silence I roam it across the shelves till I found the section where different languages books are placed.
I pick up two three books and walked towards the table placing them down on the table. I slide the paper in middle which were placed on side and a pick up a stick which has peacock feather attached on top it and write down whatever I have seen placing the paper aside I start looking in the books for its translation.
After looking through two books I didn't find it I shift back on the couch and lean against the armrest picking another book I flip the pages and I found the same language. I sat up immediately and one by one I found the translation of words.
Aapne hume kaid kiya humari beizzati ki iska badla hum le kar rahenge taiyaar ho jayiye Shehzaadi Ahenkara is baar hum apko kaid karenge.
Agli mulakat jald hogi.
Shehzaade- e - Sultanate
Shehzaade Riyadh.
"Aapne hume karavas me dala humara anadar kiya hum iska pratishode avasya lenge taiyaar ho jayiye Rajkumari Ahenkara is baar hum apko karavas me dalenge.
Sheghre milenge.
Sultanate ke Rajkumar
Rajkumar Riyadh."
You have imprison me, humiliate me I will take revenge. Get ready Princess Ahenkara this time I will put you in prison.
Will meet soon.
Sultanate's Prince
Prince Riyadh.
A shiver run through my body when I translate the whole message. The person whom I punished isn't some normal soilder he is Prince of some Kingdom name Sultanate and now he wanted revenge.
" Rajkumari..."
I heard the Chapla's yell and I immediately roll the paper and hide it behind my back and as she made her way towards me.
" Princess" she pants catching her breath.
" Kya hua?"
" What happened?" My grip on the paper tightened as I look at her cautiously.
" Maharaj ne aapka soyamwar aayojit karne ka aadesh diya hai"
"The King has decided to organise your soyamwar"
" Kya!"
" What!" I get up.
" Kyu?"
" Why?" I asked raising my hands and she shook her head looking down. I step forward placing a hand on my forehead and other on my waist closing my eyes in annoyance.
Why?
Why my father doesn't understand I don't want to marry?
I want to be a Queen.
