THE FLASH BACK..

It was before her birth. Queen Sharmista was a pregnant. all the kingdom, people and Royal family is waiting for a boy child..the prince.

But the fate designed the story in other way. It was a girl child who is born. Shekar and whole Kingdom is disappointed because the girl can't be the heir. And even enemy kingdoms are waiting for chance.

Then, Durga prasad comes and takes the baby into his hands.

Durga prasad is elder brother to Sharmista. He is also the Royal minister.

Dp says, "Raja..don't Feel sad that it's a girl child. She is born to bring fortune. I will make her as the great warrior and eligible Queen. Later, she can take responsibility of being the next heir..."

Sharmista: girl as next heir, will people accept it..?

Dp: sodari, (sis) people want a good ruler. It's not important whether it is male or female. So, don't worry.. I will make your daughter a great ruler.

Adarsh: What are you telling Durga prasad?? She is the only girl who born after 3 generations. Till now, no girl is born in our family. She is the valuable treasure.

Dp: that's what I'm telling. She is really a treasure. And only the heir of Gadodiya. She needs to be turned as a best Emperor. Because, she is only the heir.

Shekar: yes maha mantri..! You said truth. My daughter will be Samragni.

King Shekar takes baby Ragini into his hands and raises her to sky.

Shekar: she is the Empress. Samragni Ragini Devi...!!

Everyone smile with his words.

Durga prasad takes up the responsibility of making Ragini a Samragni.

Childhood of princess Ragini...:-

Generally, Princesses will stay in rich palaces, they play with their same age friends, get ready beautifully and they enjoy all the pleasures of palace.

But, Ragini's life was different. Her day starts with war arts practice and ends with Royal king's rules training. Dp is her guru. He teaches all lessons to her.

He calls good teachers and pandits to teach her vedas and philosophy.

Durga prasad's children are Sanskar and Uttara.

He makes them friends to Ragini. And basically they are family members.

Swara is a girl of same age of Ragini, who is an orphan. Dp looks after her, and she too becomes her friend.

By the age of 16, Ragini becomes a perfect warrior and also a clever student. She knows ancient mathematics, science, vedas... etc etc...

There was no man in their kingdom who defeated her in sword fight. Everyone used to amaze for her power. A girl, that too at the age of 16 is that powerful, no perfect warrior could defeat her.!!!

Not only Shekar and Sumi, but also Dp who trained also amazed. So, Sanzkar's only aim is to defeat her one day..but Ragini devi is impossible.

At her 16 years of age only, once she happened to have sword fight with Adarsh. Adarsh is her choti papa. He is shekar's younger brother.

As usually Ragini defeats Adarsh.

Adarsh smiling: princess, no one can defeat you ever...

Ragini proudly: that's what Ragini then..! Lioness of the forest..haha...

Adarsh putting his sword aside, "but, you are missing the normal girl's beautiful life...."

Ragini: what..??

Adarsh: I'm feeling pity on you..!

Ragini keeps looking: what r u saying choti papa??

Then Adarsh shows her some girls who are playing happily. Ragini looks at them.

Asarsh: that is ur life beta. U too have to he happy like that..

Ragini: but I'm to be empress. I have to learn all the things.

Adarsh: yes..! They all kept a heavy crown empress on your head an made ur life heavy...

Says Adarsh and goes away.

Ragini keeps thinking his words. She goes to her room and sees herself in mirror.

She compares other girls with her. Other girls are in jewellery and colourful dresses.

But, she is in warrior cloths. Her hands and legs have small wounds.

She sits and keeps thinking something.

Princess Ragini sleeps thinking about her status.

Every day, she wakes early in morning. But, that day she was in dreams.

She is dreaming, wearing all jewellery, nice half saree, playing with girls, roaming in beautiful gardens, swinging on swing, swimming in a pretty lotus pond, spending her time in full moon night and eating all her favourite items....

Durga prasad, sanskar, swara and Uttara are waiting for Ragini at the practice place.

Dp: why princess is late today? She comes soon than you all everyday.

Sanskar: papa ji, leave her at least today. She practices everyday.

Dp: beta, she is princess.

Uttara: but, she is a girl...

Swara: she is different from others. Guru ji, I will wake her...

Dp: no swara. I will go.

Dp goes and sees peacefully sleeping Ragini. He takes a jug with water and pours on Ragini's face.

She trembles and wakes. She looks shocked at Durga prasad.

Dp: princess, this is not sleeping time.

Ragini: mama sri...

Dp points a stick to her.

Dp: now I'm not your mama sri.. I'm your guru. Come out soon...

He says and leaves. Ragini sighs and gets ready.

At breakfast,

So many sweets and delicious items are kept. Ragini is about to take a sweet item.

Dp: princess, sweets are not good for you. You can't fight if you eat like that.

Adarsh: durga prasad ji, you are putting unlimited limits to my daughter. eating them once doesn't create a big problem.

Dp: princess, you will listen to your guru right...!

Ragini takes her hand back sadly.

Sumi: why are you restricting her like that bhayya? Let her eat once...

Shekar: yes maha mantri..

Dp: sodari.., maharaj, I'm not ruling over her. I'm giving her training in marmakala (an ancient art of blocking enemies nervous). She needs to follow strict diet.

All remains calm.

Sumi is looking at some jewellery.

Sumi: I will go to temple tomorrow. I will wear them. Dasi, keep them inside.

Dasi takes them inside.

Ragini: maata, I want to come to temple too...

Sumi: u ask permission of your Raj guru...

Dp smiling: sodari, she is your daughter. you can take her anywhere.

Ragini feels happy.

Ragini: I want to wear all jewellery and those beautiful cloths.

Sumi agrees.

Dp: no princess. .!

Shekar: again what maha mantri??

Dp: Ragini devi should be as a prince always. she should never get idea that she is a girl. If she bends to pleasures like this, she forgets to fight.

Everyone amzes with his words.

Sumi: what are you talking bhayya?? Being a women, doesn't make her far from being warrior.

Adarsh: yes bhabhi ji. U r right. I don't know why maha mantri is doing this for our princess.

Shekar: my daughter is his student. He knows very well what to do. It's better if no one involves in this matter.

Shekar goes away.

Later,

Ragini keeps looking at the sunset at evening. Adarsh comes near her.

Adarsh: hmm..you are just princess for name not in real.

Ragini: what's it choti papa??

Adarsh: you can't even eat whatever you want? What kind of princess you are..??

He says and goes away. Ragini looks on. She keeps thinking.

"What did I get till now? I'm princess, but a slave. I can't be like I want. I want my freedom..."

She thinks and looks at gate.

"Yes...I want my freedom. " she wears a veil and slowly comes out of palace.

She looks back at gate.

"I hope, I'm not doing any mistake.." she thinks.

She goes forward fastly, and suddenly bumps into someone. That boy falls down.

She keeps looking at the boy. He is Laksh. He is about 18 years old then. And she is 16..

Laksh looks at her. Breeze comes and her veil falls down. He could see her face.

He doesn't understand why.. but he liked her a lot. She is not beautiful...she is in wounds and in tired face. But he still liked her.

He wanted to spend his life just looking at her.. is he loving her???

While he is in thoughts, Ragini covers herself in veil and keeps going. He looks on....

Precap: Raglak times...
