《Being an Empress》21. Giddiness of power
Advertisement
Varsha's POV.
I bent down to collect the gold jewellery that had fallen down in the balcony. The light giver had not raised yet and hence the lighting was still dim, so I strained my eyes to find them. I may have now become a princess but, I would never forget the days that had me craving to own atleast a piece of gold. I collected them and placed them over the dressing table and turned to head out. There I saw Jiji and I called out to her, she came to me smiling happily, "Hmm.... Someone seems really tired." she said as I huffed but eventually smiled at her comment, "Where is Nandini?" I asked, and then I saw a maid come, she looked beautiful and kind, she bowed deeply and I gasped. God! Is this how it feels to be a princess, the power is so mind numbing. Obviously, it would drive people crazy. She told me about my bath being prepared and I tried my best to keep calm and not jump and run towards the chamber of bathing. Yesterday's experience was playing back in my mind and I closed my eyes for a moment sending a thank you prayer to Lord Krishna, for making my dream come true, not once but twice.
And now maybe, for forever. I wanted to dance like a peacock in rain, for that was the amount of happiness that my heart felt. This all felt so very good. As I came to the bathing chamber, I noticed that the soldiers from yesterday were all replaced with veerangnas (female soldiers) and I felt good about it. Being surrounded by females all my life, it felt better to avoid any possible chances of interaction with men, except Swami, Ofcourse. I smiled a little as I steeped into the hot water and closing my eyes in pleasure. I couldn't help the tears as they flowed our of my life. I could contain all the happiness, I felt and I didn't know how to react, what to do? I closed my eyes.

"Rajkumariji, Rajkumariji." I heard a voice and opened my eyes. I guess I dozed off. "Sorry." I said hastily and she shook her head, "Why are you telling sorry princess, it's me who has to apologize, I never asked your choice of scents and herbs." she said looking at the ground. I shook my head and looked down as well. "No, it's fine, Umm.... But I would like it, if I get some privacy. I will be out soon." I said and she nodded and signaled all other maids to go out. As they exited I slowly took a nice bath. It felt really better, I wore the new clothes and jewellery that the chief maid had arranged for me. I heard others called her "Mukhya." I decided to call her the same and when I called her that after getting dressed, I could see her blushing, I smiled triumphantly, because it had been the first time that had happened. Otherwise, normally it's always me, getting teased and blushing, especially with Swami.
I decided to avoid going there, to him, immediately and instead take a stroll through the huge corridors. I went to a window and prayed to the Sun God. There, while passing, I saw, two women, breaking the spices, their strong odour hug my nose, as I looked at them, I went down to them and admired the quality of the chillied picking it in my hand as they stopped and bowed to me. I nodded my head at them emulating princess Kanaka and closely examined the spice. It looked of the best quality, of course, it was for the Prince, but they were still wet. "Hey, what are you doing? You should first let these chillies dry under Sun for sometime and why are you removing it's seeds, let them be. This way it will last more time and be more spicy." I said and they nodded in obedience. I smiled at them and left. Oh God! This felt oddly, so better. Ordering around, is so much of fun. It feels like I am breathing for the first time. I know arrogance is an evil quality but it was slowly making its way towards me. I feel, so much more better, almost giddy. What else does this new life have for me? From now on an I always going to be this happy that I cry and this powerful that I am giddy? But suddenly, something crossed my mind and I knew, I am always going to be crazy, now, because of LOVE.....

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.

Jalan Suram : The 100 Fire Holders
"Why us?" Still staring at the unusually stationary fire of the candle he was holding, Agung voiced the questions in our mind. "Out of 2 million people living in this city, why are we the chosen ones?" As if on cue, the eerie laughter of children could be heard above us. Holding our own candle tightly, we resolved to ignore them and continued our discussion. It was a matter of life or death after all. More than half of the initial participants had fallen and the building became more crowded as the result. There were now more ghosts than the living and each step was filled with danger from the unknown. Either we solved all the questions now or we would become another addition to the ghost camp. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was one thing Novita found out after she accepted an invitation to a suspicious event from a seemingly legal company. Crowded didn't exactly mean safe. As more and more variables were added to the dangerous ritual, the higher the risk of death. At the same time, the higher the risk was, the better the rewards for it. But in the end, was it worth it? Note : This series was posted on scribblehub.com under the same name.

In Pursuit of Bark's Finest
On the frontiers of transhumanity’s expansion into the galaxy thousands of light years from the light of Sol, things can get rather chaotic. There are countless millions of nascent interstellar nations securing their interests, pirate ships prospering off plunder and deniable mercenary work, dissidents setting up their own civilizations, and other groups all trying to push an agenda. When these groups crash into each other, the results can become extremely messy and convoluted. Recently, a frontier nation calling itself the Red Star Union has found itself at the focal point of one such complication. A freighter under their protection has been sabotaged, hijacked in interstellar space, and robbed of its cargo. This would be bad enough even if all it were carrying was luxury goods, but the freighter Nebula Plow was carrying more than just normal trade goods. Indeed, her cargo of Non-Orientable Wormholes for use in starship power plants was both very expensive and very, very dangerous. Now the Red Star Union has to worry about a pirate crew running around with several extra devices capable of converting matter into antimatter with negligible energy cost. With those, the pirates could be capable of inflicting untold damage if allowed to leverage their ill-gotten gains into a stronger position, a possibility the Union finds completely intolerable. Unfortunately, all that the Red Star Union has to go on for evidence is two names; that of the captain, and that of the ship. The Captain is going by the possible pseudonym of Fuller, while the ship is named Bark’s Finest. And thus the orders came down to the Union’s Bureau of Starforce Intelligence: find more information on these pirates, conclusively identify them, and figure out where exactly they’ve gone to ground so that the fleet can crush them before they get established. Of the many agents that the bureau assigned to this mission, one would happen to play an important role: Field Agent Madeline Zargosty. This is her story. This story is entirely pre-written, and will have one chapter released per week. If you want to read it all ahead of schedule and get access to some premium-exclusive bonus content, the entire book is available for purchase; links to the appropriate storefront pages will be posted at the end of each chapter. This story is also being posted to Scribblehub.
