His chopper landed on the ground, he got down took a deep breath to inhale the scented air of his home. He observed his home which was looking divine this evening, bathed in the yellow lights.

He walked inside through the big gates of the palace which was standing there for few centuries.

People were bowing their head in respect.

A servant came to him with a glass of water, he chugged down the water and asked about his parents.

He told him about his parents being in the meeting hall with some important people.

He nodded and handover his coat to him. He walked fearlessly through the giant door, rolling up his sleeves to get comfort. He saw his parents were settled on their seats and there were some people in front of them. They were busy discussing some issue about a few schools in villages.

Uday Singh Rathore. (54 years old)

Vasudha Singh Rathore. (50 years old)

He walked forward and as expected, his presence caught attention. His parents saw him and a huge smile came on their face.

Adhiraj touched their feet in respect and smiled his rare genuine smile.

His mother's hands were itching to hug her son but she controlled herself because there were people around them and she had an image and posture to maintain.

Adhiraj greeted his parents,

"Pranam Rana sa."

"Pranam Rani sa."

His father nodded his head and patted his shoulders.

All the people who were present there rose from their seats and greeted Adhiraj by joining their hands, " Khamma Ghani Yuvraj sa."

Adhiraj also joined his hand in acknowledgement and muttered, "Ghani Khamma".

His father turned to them, "I think we should talk some other time. This meeting is dismissed."

When everybody left, Rana Sa turned towards his son who had returned to his home after a long time.

He said, "So Mr Adhiraj Singh Rathore, finally you get time for your parents?"

Adhiraj smiled sheepishly, "Sorry Baba sa, I was busy with meetings."

Rani sa said, "Leave it, Uday Ji. He only loves his business."

Uday Singh said, "You are right Vasudha."

Adhiraj sighed with amusement, "Please guys. I came back here after a month and you both are behaving like kids."

Vasudha said, "Okay, Okay. Let's go."

All three were spending some quality time with each other in the garden after dinner.

Uday asked, "So Adhiraj. When are you coming back to your home permanently? "

Adhiraj said, "Soon Baba sa, Soon."

Vasudha said, "Your parents and your people now need you as well as your those two idiot siblings too. "

Uday said, " Adhiraj, years ago you asked me for three years to build your career on your own. I have given you five years. Now come back, son. "

Adhiraj placed his hand on his father's hand and gently squeezed it and assured, "Baba sa I just need one more month to shift my main office in Jodhpur from Mumbai. "

He turned towards his mother, "And of course Maa sa, I will bring both of them too."

After sometimes they retired to their rooms. Adhiraj entered his room. Precisely it was not only a room, it was a royal chamber or you can say that a master suite.

A kingsize bed, lounge area, sitting area, balcony and attached office room.

He stood near a big photo frame on the wall. It was the family picture.

His parents were sitting on a couch. He was standing behind the couch and two monkeys were sitting on the armrests of the couch.

A smile came on his face after seeing his siblings.

He went towards the open area of the balcony and settled on a bean bag.

This is the biggest truth of his life that he is the Yuvraj of Rajasthan.

His father Uday Singh Rathore along with his mother Vasudha Singh Rathore is the King and Queen of Rajasthan.

And being the eldest son of the family, he is the Yuvraj.

He has two siblings, his sister Adya and the youngest brother Adhvan.

When he turned 22, he decided to start a business on his own. Vasudha was reluctant to let him struggle as they have Rajputana Business Empire to handle.

But Uday Singh supported him. After that Adhiraj along with his best friend Rohan, moved to the city of dreams Mumbai to start their career with limited financial support.

It was not easy but after one year of struggle, they started their own company Rathore enterprises. And within four years, he is known as the youngest emerging businessman in India.

His sister Adya (24 years) also started working in his company after her studies and she is doing a great job in the construction industry.

And his brother Adhvan(21 years) is planning to join his father's company this year as he completed his studies.

In the outside world, nobody knows that he is the enigmatically famous 'Crown Prince of Rajasthan'. Due to some safety reasons, King never brought their children in limelight. Many people talk many things about them.

Even after being in Mumbai, Adhiraj never failed the duty of a prince. People of Rajasthan know that their Yuvraj is doing many things for them but they have not seen him.

And now he has to come back to Jodhpur. And he is shifting his business here permanently. His brother is in Delhi. And his sister is working in the Hyderabad branch of Rathore enterprises. Nobody except some loyal people of the royal family knows that they are Royals but soon everyone will know.

All the struggle he did in Mumbai made him strong and diplomatic. Very soon he will be the King. Even after being a prince, he did not have everything served for him on a silver platter. He had worked hard for his success. He likes to dream and then chase the goal with all his effort, he devours the victory taking his own sweet time, just like a lion. He loves to hunt down his prey and then he enjoys the taste.

Adhiraj sighed thinking about his life.
