Like Jaisheelgad...the maids here too are very humble and sweet and I am very glad to receive their hospitality and I really needed it as the travel here was very hectic and exhausting for me. I have never ever travelled so far in my life, not especially holding a big fan in my hands and sway it all along here to cool his brainless head ....

I don't understand why would a person want someone to fan him when he is sitting in a chariot ,.....which is moving in a full speed, .....enough to comfort a passenger inside with the pleasant wind ..??? but ....NO...if he doesn't do that, his goal to torture me is not fulfilled...Right ?? Such a jerk .....aaarrrrggh!!.....

Anyway, ....I thought that here also I have to be stuck up with this, Big Bad King Siddharth Veer Singh , in the same freaking room but ...THANK GOD.... for some time....for some time atleast I got a little chance to be away from his bossy and dominanting eyes. I should be really thankful to his friend 'Mr.whoever he is'.

After meeting his friend he seemed to forget about everything around him thats why he almost forgot about me for the whole day ......it was soooo good to be free .....but when I saw him at the door of the maid's quarter last night, I was almost in the verge of crying as l was having SUCH a lovely time with the girls....but thank god again ....that he just went away without dragging me away from my sweet time.

I wish that they (Siddharth and Surya ) get married with each other... atleast by this way, may be he will be less interested to irritate me .....or not.... thinking about this a chuckle escaped out of my lips...

Gouri, here my new friend caught me in my action and asked smiling a little "Hey !! Why are you laughing...?? "

" Nothing ....just a stupid joke passed my mind" . I told her collecting some empty glasses left by the guests in the party hall as that was our allotted job.

"I am really tired ....pweff ... it was a long day today. " she said doing the same work as me.

"Yes it was ...." I smiled at her still working.

"Hey! Nandini ....can you please check if there are some glasses left there ?? " she requested pointing to the direction at the very corner of this huge hall near the hall's entrance.

"Ok ..sure." I walked towards the pointed direction holding the tray of empty glasses .

As I went looking for it , I ended up far from Gouri and other servants and maids cleaning in the main area .....and was very near to the hall's entrance, there was no sign of any other person here , not even a gaurd. It was night and after the party commotion the palace was silent.

I went out of the hall's entrance and came to the long passage connecting to it to check for the window, maybe I can find some glasses here , looking here and there I found nothing so I turned my way back to Gauri and others and just when I was about to go, I halted .....as I heard some instrumental music playing somewhere far . I couldn't detach myself from it and felt more curious to know from where it was coming ...... keeping the tray on a windowsill I followed the sound of the music like I was drawn to it.

Walking farther away I could now clearly hear the music as it was coming from another room connect to the same passage, there were no guards or a single person through out the way here, but still I didn't wanted to risk it, I hooded my head and covered my face with my dupatta and slowly stepped inside the room.

Like every palace, its entrance too was wide and high on which big curtains were hanging loose. I peeped inside but still was unable to see anything as the middle portion of the room was also surrounded with lots of curtains hanging loose , so I slowly sneaked further inside the room and hid myself behind a flower-vase stand then slightly shifted the curtain to see what was actually happening inside.

To my surprise, I saw Siddharth Veer Singh and his friend, both were enjoying a dance show and the woman inside was dancing in a very seductive manner who was also wearing a very revealing dress.

She placed her one feet on the thigh of the birthday boy and was swaying her hands and shoulders and later made him drink something......watching all that I felt like puking , the whole thing was so disgusting,........I felt so stupid of myself to come here and witness all this. I just wanted to immediately get out of this place so I turned my way for the same......but to my horror ,I saw a big fat lizard looking right at me.

As I have couldn't bear this hideous creature ever in my life, I screamed with sheer disgust mixed with fear.

"Yeeeeewwww"

and hurriedly took quick steps backwards and bumped into the flowers-vase stand which made me wobble..... and I fell ....... Right on the dancefloor , in front of both the men and the dancing girl. The way I fell was in such a way that I was sure that they must have not seen my face but Realising that if I get caught, I will be in a very big trouble so before they could come for me , I just hurriedly covered my face again while standing up and ran towards the door like the place was on fire.

Somehow I successfully made out of the door but suddenly I felt a hand, ....storngly gripping my arm stopping me from running.

Turning my eyes I saw the owner of that hand, a huge man with a turban on his head and holding a spear on his other hand, he was looking at me suspiciously and was not alone, along with him there was another man just like him , by the look itself it was understood that they were the guards here. I was stunned to see them because when I came over here I have not seen anyone atall , so from where these two gaurds came from ..??

I bit my lips in tension and mentally scolded myself " Oh god !! why on the earth I ever thought to come here ??"

🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅

I never have thought in my life that my friend Surya Pratap will have hobbies like this .... watching him drink glasses after glasses and enjoying a dance like THIS was out of my imagination. Its not like we , the Royals don't entertain ourselves, I too like to watch dance shows but not these ones.

Surya Pratap I knew was not like this , since when did he got into such things?? I couldn't stop thinking about it while watching him drinking liquor delightfully , then suddenly the dancer appeared infront of me dancing in a very sensuous manner ,she snaked her hand around my neck and sat on my lap bringing her face close to me but I stopped her in the middle . I politely whispered into her ear.

" Thank you so much , but its my friend's birthday so tonight he needs you more, so make him happy".

In response she looked at me like I have grown a tree on my head . I removed my pearls neckpeice (* Indian male Royals ware Jewellery ) and gifted her to shoo her away.

Thankfully she swayed her way towards Surya who was looking at her as if she was some kind of dessert to relish on , she too happily took all his attention on her by putting her one leg on his thigh and dancing on the rhythm of the music as musicians were playing their instruments behind the curtains, but suddenly .....someone fell on the ground while screaming loudly ...... before I could even process the whole thing .....that person hurriedly ran away ......wait .....

What did just happened ?? Who was that?? By the look, it was a girl .....

Here Surya Pratap was so durnk and busy with this dancer girl that he didnot even notice anything, for him it was like nothing really happened but on the other hand I was curious to know about it.....

So I decided to go out and look into the matter and just when I was about to move........two gaurds came in along with a girl holding her arm. She was holding up her dupatta to cover up her face with her other hand.

"Your majesty! We caught this girl, she was spying and running from here. " said one of the gaurds to Surya Pratap

Surya Pratap growled in irritation as he was disturbed in his sweet time but when he looked at this unknown girl, Surya Pratap raised his hand and gestured his gaurds to leave, keeping the girl behind.

Without tearing his eyes away from her

"well...well... another party joiner ....WELCOME...more the merrier... but atleast let me see your face darling " said Surya in his tipsy voice.

I don't know why but I noticed that this girl kept on glancing at me , even in her covered face I could easily make out that she was visibly scared and worried ....

Was she a Spy?? ...and if she is ,then of which kingdom?? ....

Every person in the room was eagerly waiting for her to uncover her face but she just stood there like a statue , not ready to move a bit.

I was so far watching everything in silence but couldn't hold my patience any longer so I ordered her

" who are you ?? uncover your face ....RIGHT NOW...??"

First she was startled by my order then she slowly shifted her cover to reveal her face ......

And the moment when she dropped her cover, I couldn't decide weather to be angry or be surprised or just to be angry as that girl was non other than my personal slave, Nandini.

What on earth she's being doing here??? ......what should I do with this girl....?? she was just standing infront of Surya Pratap, the one who had his eyes on her right from the first day we stepped here, but I always managed to successfully keep him away from her.......but now .....here she is .....spilling water on all my efforts.

"OH MY MY !!... it's ....it's....

You .....it couldn't have been more wonderful to have you here... near me." Said Surya slowly ogling her every curves and visible skin from top to bottom.

I didn't know what to do ,I was thinking hard to take her away from here , especially now when Surya was not in his right senses.

"Its okay ...Leave her to me .....I will take care of her....its your day ....you enjoy " I said and took a step towards Nandini to drag her away but before I could take another step Surya stopped me

"Nooooo!! tonight she's not going anywhere , don't you take away the main attraction from here. Let she come and give me some enjoyment I really desire tonight. "

Nandini anxiously looked at me with a big question mark on her face and here.... I, kept my eyes on Surya .... as, I was very well aware of what was his intentions for her .... not difficult for me to read his greedy lustful eyes which never left her.

Surya was still sitting, placeing his both the hands stretched backwards and who was now no longer interested on that dancer.

"Come here baby girl, come sit on my lap"

he ordered Nandini ,who's eyes widened after listening his order but she refused to move even an inch

"Nooo please let ...let me go ....I am ....am. sorry ....please ." she begged.

"Are you coming or do you want me to drag you here ??"

He grumbled being irritated.

"NO.. please....please let me go....please don't do this.."

Nandini said joining her hands with tearfilled eyes.....but by now Surya was pissed off by her refusal so he stood up and took his quick and unsteady steps for her and stretched his hand to forcefully drag her along with him ....But before he could even touch her I grabbed his wrist firmly and then stepped into the space between him and her.

I seriously looked at him straight in his eyes ......and calmly said .

" Let her go"

and tilted my head to look over my shoulder where Nandini stood, behind my back "she's not worth it. ".

" Oh !! come on Siddharth don't be a spoiler , I know you are not done licking up her body but tonight we can share this peice of meat....."

The moment his ridiculous sentence ended , I Iost my cool then and there and punched his face and grabbed his throat with my hand and pushed him backwards until he stumbled back on his seat .I brought my lips close to his ears and warned him

" NO ONE TOUCHES HER .... she is mine .....remember that ."

I realised his throat and saw Surya struggling to get up but he was so drunk that he went unconscious right there.

This whole incident was so awfully

annoying that I didn't wanted to spend another moment here , somehow I was hurt by my friend's unexpected behaviour, I turned and grabbed Nandini hand angrily and dragged her along with me to get out of here.

Then within no time I was all set to leave at that very hour of night, Surya's patents were shocked about my leaveing like this, they hurriedly came to stop me and asked about the unknown matter but I didn't wanted them to know anything about what happened in that room as I have always respected them as my own parents and didn't wanted to embarrass these two honourable people about their son's indecent behaviour, so instead I just told them that suddenly some necessary work has lined up at my kingdom for which I have to leave right now.... and made our way to Jaisheelgad along with my troops.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Next day, Siddharth and his troops reached their kingdom after a long journey.

Ever since I came from there, I have not been in peace for a single moment, the guilt of hitting my childhood friend was hammering my mind and which was triggering my anger too. I know whatever he has done, it was not okay by any means but I couldn't console myself, I was hating myself for this , I shouldn't have hit him ......he is my bestie, my brother like .....each moment of mine was restlessly passing and all I was feeling was a hell lot of anger.

Nothing would have happened if this stupid slave of mine wouldn't have been wandering there , ......this entire chaos was created because of her ....only her....

As I was just into my distressful thoughts Nandini appeared in front of me with a big jug of water to place it in my room for drinking....and here .....my head was on fire as she was the one for whom I had to hit my friend,

"What were you doing there..?" I questioned looking right at her.

She turned to me but looked here and there to avoid eye contacts, Being confused she asked

" Where..?? "

"DON'T " I raised my voice then controlling my anger and my pitch

" Don't you try to act clueless slave ....you very well known what I am asking you about ....so tell me ?"

She stammered " "a..are...eeyou ..as..asking about ...your ...ff..friends place??

"YES you fool ....then what I will ask you about ?" I yelled.

" Actually that night...I ...I... was working...and heard som..some music ...and fellowed it ...then ..I..went inside that room ....but trust me I..I didn't wanted to disturb anybody...I... was just leaveing when they caught me .''

She narrated her stupid story which resulted to fuel up my anger more.

" Do you even realise, what you have done ....?? ...because of your foolishness everything is messed now "

I said in same tone

" I am...so ..sorry...I didn't know...tha" I cut her in the middle and gripped her arm which made her flinch out of pain.

" Aaah...." her agony escaped out of her lips.

" DO ....YOU think I want any of your sorrys ???..... you have caused me so much distress and I will not let it go . You have to pay for this slave." I hissed.

"GUARDS !!" I called out loud.. realizing her arm, two of them appeared instantly, looking at her I ordered them

"Throw her in the dungeons and don't give her to eat anything for whole day "

"WHATTTT...??!! " She looked at me with her lips gaped. "Noo....please.....I...I said sorry ....please...I didn't do ot purposely ... let me go ." she pleaded.

"Take her away.... NOW ." I ordered the gaurds, to which they grabbed her and took her away but she kept on pleading until her voice faded away.
