I wait for a second determining, whether to answer her on not in the end, gave up, "This is my lookout. I will see what I can do. Right now, my priority is to save your lives as I put you all at risk. Now hurry up we, don't have much time."

We took a few steps forward when I saw a shadow behind a nearby tree but, before I look out for that person he escaped, he must be my brother's spy. Things are getting worse, now is the last moment to take quick action before it gets too late.

"Come on fast, they realized what we are trying to do before they became alert or take any action have to act fast now listen to me carefully, I will show you the shortest and quietest path. Walking straight on that path for a few hours, you will reach the dark barricade after crossing that you people are out of kamyaka in your human world. All you have to do is to leave quietly as fast as you can. You all are warriors who can protect your lives from wild animals. You have to be alert till you reach the barricade. Once you reach the barricade, you are safe because no alive soul of kamyaka crosses that barricade. Be close to each other because that place is dark and misty you can get lost. Now help me remove this stone. Behind this stone, there lies your path of freedom." I explained everything to them in one breath and started trying to move the stone.

"We will do everything then what you will do in all this. Instruct us like our queen. We are not your assistants to take orders from you and, why would we trust you. You already betrayed us once." Again she spoke in the middle in his loud voice.

"Do you have a better option? Go ahead, try your luck and whatever idea your mind has processed but then don't blame that I didn't warn you earlier. I know I set you guys up but can't you see I am genuinely trying to protect all of you. I staked everything so, stop this childish argument now and come."

"Well, don't mind my words but, I agree with Bhrata Bheem on this. After your betrayal, difficult to trust you again. Also, is it important to argue on every topic? Can't you listen once quietly?" this time was his younger brother.

"Gosh, what is wrong with you men and your fragile egos? Haven't in your outer world women speak their minds out? Why is it such an alien concept for all of you to follow a women's leadership in decision-making? In kamyaka, we speak our minds freely and decide for ourselves."

"Well, we take women's advice in decision making, but in our society, they are cultured, they behave decently. They put their opinions when asked and that too softly. They can't argue over everything and behave wild. There is certain decency in their behavior." Finally, his elder brother spoke something and shocked me. I used to think he is the calmest and sensible person, but he also lives in the same bubble.

"It's not your entire fault. It's your society that teaches you guys women are mean to follow the orders. You guys are raise in a manner that teaches that women should maintain decency only speak when asked. You guys worship Mahakali but still think women should be meek. Don't worry whenever you meet someone with a fire within you will learn how much individuality matters. But in kamyaka, we respect individuality. Here not only we worship mother nature and follow her path too. Shakti neither needs Shiva's approval to speak or make a decision nor meekly follows any customized rules. Here we follow her lead and respects everyone's individuality. I agree there should be decency while behaving but, it is not only women's responsibility men should be equally responsible for the following decorum. Otherwise, you guys will form a society where women will be treated as a mere possession that anyone can own, disrespect, or ruin. In such a system, women will always face injustice and torture. Their voices remain unheard. Start giving women an equal position. Your mother is never less than your father, nor she needed his permission to make a decision. Remember, till there will be inequality in society, there will never be peace. Situations keep arising lead to war. Now hurry up and leave fast. You guys already wasted a lot of our time." I finished panicking.

They were gawking at me like I am some alien and spoke something out of my mind. Who the hell are they? Can't they understand the basic things? Finally staring at me like ages, they moved and helped me in moving the stone. Before they took a step towards the clearing, we got surrounded by my brother's army.

"See why I was telling you guys to hurry up, yet you can't do anything without a big argument?" I was frustrated at them for ruining my plan.

"Let them go. I will come with you all. It's between us and, we will handle it personally. These people are not at fault." I reasoned with the leader of the troop.

"But princess, if we didn't take them to the king will punish us. Pardon us can't help you in this matter. We are bind, by the orders ."

"Tell him that I helped them run. Put the entire blame on me that I helped them fled then, you guys will be free."

"But princess, how can we stake your life? You did so much for us always helped us in tough times. But we can't do this after being completely aware that this can cost your life."

"Don't worry will handle this. My brother is smart but, I am no fool. If you want to do something for me, let them go and help me when I took charge of the matter. This matter needs to settle now and, I guess today is the day." I spoke more to myself before turning to my guests to bid farewell.

My heart was into million pieces but, this is not the moment to fall weak. I love them too much to stake their lives. I learned a big truth that day love has both the quality at the same time. It makes you strong as well as weak both at the same time. I turned to look at them one last time. I smiled at them, not letting my tears show. Finally, keeping hold of myself, I instructed them regarding the road and journey. I signaled them to go and turned around to leave after bidding goodbye. Before I leave the spot, I heard him,

"No, we are not going. We can't run like a coward. We will face whatever happens and leave with dignity." This man and his morality all come at a completely wrong time. I glared nothing in particular at his stupid act before turning to have another set of arguments.
