《Samragni- The Empress》Part 12: Samragni's Marriage
Advertisement
Ragini's cheeks turn red with his hug. She is about to close her eyes. 'No Ragini, you are a ruler. Be balanced..!!' she thinks and slowly breaks the hug.
Laksh keeps looking at her. She bends her head. Just then, Dp comes.
"Mamasri.." she says and about to go near him, but she is stopped by the bond tied between her and Laksh. Then she looks at him, he smiles and moves with her.
Ragini: mamasri, I'm sorry. You said me not to come here, but...
Dp: beta, i said that because they didn't invite us..! But, I'm happy that you got what you wanted.
She smiles. She and Laksh takes blessings of Dp. Then Ram also gives ashirwad to them.
Dp: ok maharaj ram, we will arrange everything for marriage...
Ram: we will come by evening. Tomorrow morning is muhurtha.
Dp smiles and takes Ragini with him, but the bond stops her again. Laksh looks at it. Ragini turns back. He smiles painfully and removes the knot. Ragini leaves the place with Dp expression less.
They sit in chariot and keep going. Laksh in upset goes to the sword practicing place. He removes his top, and keeps practicing furiously. His brothers don't understand his behaviour.
Chandra: he till now behaved as lover boy, what happened to him suddenly..? I never understand my brother..!!
Ram just comes and looks sadly at Laksh.
Ram: yes, you never understand him. I'm a father and I can understand. He did this all for Samragni devi. And, this all swayamvara is a drama..!!
His sons shock: what..???
.............................
There Ragini is going in chariot along with Dp. She is thinking, "I'm sorry Prince Laksh. This was all plan to catch the culprit. I have used you for that, and you patiently agreed to it. That was related to you. Only you could help me...!"
Dp is arranging umbrella for her without getting exposed to sunlight.
Ragini: mamasri, you used to tell me, that rulers has to face pain also. But now....
Dp: now you are a bride my Samragni..! So, you have to be careful and it's me who has to take care of you.
Ragini looks at him sadly, "I'm sorry mamasri...I'm cheating you also..! But, no one should no this plan. Prince Laksh, that's why for the prayaschit I will marry you, for the stupid thing I done to you..!" Thinks Ragini.
...........................
The veiled princess who was running is stopped by two persons. It's Sanskar and Karthick. That princess removes her veil and she is revealed as Kavitha.
{Guys, guys, you all have expected her as Sanskar. But no..!! Her name is Sanskarini because, it's a code for Laksh to identify her, that she is sent by Sanskar.
So, I will reveal the rest all plan later..! So, don't panic... that veiled princess is not a man. She is Kavitha.}
Karthick: you have ruined the entire plan..!!
Kavitha: what should I do..? My veil was fell. If Laksh and Maharaj Ram identifies that I'm notorious thief Kavitha, they are going to hang me..!!
Sanskar: if you have married prince Laksh, then if you have removed your veil, nobody has right to hang you..! Bcz, legally you will be queen then. We planned like that...
Kavitha: yes, but suddenly that samragni has come. She ruined all the plan. But, I will not leave prince laksh... he is mine always. I will get him at any cost..!!
Sanskar looks on...
...........................................
Laksh stops his fight and rests on knee on sword balance. His brothers keep looking at him.
Chandra upsets: bhayya..why you have to help that samragni..?? What would have happened if you have denied her help??

Laksh smiles: chandra, she is doing that for me...
Chandra: what....
Laksh: did you remember, one night samragni came to our fort... while I was wounded...
Now fb..............
Ragini and Laksh goes out to talk something.
Laksh: so... samragni devi has come for me this time, and she has applied medicine,.. that means,
Ragini: prince laksh... i came to discuss a serious matter with you..!! No fun please..!
Laksh smile fades.
Then Ragini shows him his painting.
Ragini: this is painted by the prisoner in our jail. He said that you have helped Nikil to escape.
Laksh shocks: did you believe that Samragni..??
Ragini: no..!! That's why, i have enquired that painter secretly. He said some veiled person has ordered him to paint Prince Laksh in culprit place.
Laksh shocks again: why me..?? And who is that veiled person..??
Ragini: He said that it's a male. Bcz, he has male voice.
Laksh keeps thinking.
Ragini: that painter prisoner has seen a mark on his hand. And the mark is skull.
Now Laksh shocks.
Laksh: samragni, then I'm damn sure, it's the notorious thief Kavitha.
Ragini amazed: how do you know laksh..?
Laksh: kavitha... she has a devilish wish to gain me. She used to torture me to marry her. And, then my father warned her that she will be hanged if she enters into our kingdom again. Now, why she is doing this again..??
Ragini: that's what we have to find out laksh. So, she has the talent of changing voice also..!!! That prisoner has heard, that she wants to be emperor..and she is the one who has sent my raaja mudrika to Nikil..! He heard it while she is talking to Nikil.
{hope, I'm not confusing you guys...!}
Laksh: that means, someone is helping her who is in your palace..!!
Ragini: exactly Laksh..! We have to catch her to catch the main culprit. I mean, who is helping her..!! So, it's better if I don't discuss this with anyone in palace. So, i need your help.
Laksh: I understood... only I can bring Kavitha out to this world.
Ragini: for that, we shall plan your swayamvara. She will surely come to win you. Then we can catch her..!! And, for six months you will be calm. After six months, we shall apply this plan...
Fb over.................
Chandra shocked: so...this was all drama to find her. Then did you find her..??
Laksh: yes...the girl who won, kalakseta princess.. sanskarini.
Chandra: bhayya, then why didn't you catch her and arrest her..?? And, how do you know that she is Kavitha..??
Laksh: I have seen skull mark on her hand. If we catch, then the main culprit will get alert.
Ajay: but she ran away right...
Ram: don't worry... there is a strong spy...!
........................
Sanskar is walking behind Kavitha and Karthick.
Sanskar: so, this is same Kavitha who wants prince Laksh..!
he thinks.
Karthick shatters his thoughts: Sanskar, why did you want to send Kavitha for that Swayamvara?
Sanskar: bcz i wanted to kavitha to win Laksh. Then, Ragini would have surely depressed on losing him. But, she came on time..!! I never thought, Kavitha really loves Laksh and that's why she was interested to go.
Kavitha: don't worry Sanskar. I won't let that marriage happened.
Sanskar: i will go to ruin the marriage..!
They both nods their heads.
........................
Ragini and Dp reaches palace. Swara and Uttara welcomes her.
Swara: so, samragni has won her prince..!
Uttara: so her love story starts I think....
Ragini chases them as they are teasing her. They keep running from her. Dp and Adarsh smiles.

They go into her room. They both removes her armor and shield. And they both push her in pool of milk. (Swimming pool)
Ragini falls in that... and raises... she gets flashes of Laksh.
"Can anyone tell me...
What's the name of new feeling..?"
She sings,
The maids listen to her smiling.
'my heart runs as rabbit...
And my mind thinks nothing...
Only I can see him and feel him..!
His smiles have occupied my eyes..!'
Maids raise her from pool and give her bath with turmeric, sandal water...
'the fragrance of sandal is melting the heart....' She sings...
Swa sings: no, maybe it's in thoughts of your prince..!
Ragini beats her. The bath completes.
She is brought before the mirror and she wears a beautiful red lehenga... maids are making her wear all jewelry. They are keeping her mehendi also.
Ragini imagines that Laksh has come and making her ready.
She imagines, that he is singing,
"Let me be the mang tikka on your forehead,
I will protect you forever...
"let me be the bangles on your hand...
I will make you happy always...
"let me be the anklets on your feet...
I will be your guide...
"let me be the mehendi..
I will never leave you..!"
"Samragni..! Samragni..!" with everyone's calls then she comes out of imagination. She blushes and everyone laughs.
She is made as the complete bride. Ragini gets amazed looking at her like that. She has never been like that. She was always in the warrior attire. But, she is seemed to be as complete woman now. and, she never has the feeling of love and shy. Now, she is facing all that.
"it's all because of you prince Laksh..." she says and blushes.
Laksh is getting ready seriously to marriage.
Ajay: bhayya, groom shouldn't be serious like this.
Vijay: why you should marry her? the drama is over know..!
Laksh laughs. They looks him.
Laksh: my goddess herself has come and said that she will marry me. What's your problem??
Ajay vijay confuses.
Laksh: and, why I will miss this chance? I have to say thanks to Kavitha...
Chandra: but samragni devi doesn't love you know bhayya...
Laksh becomes calm again.
The next morning has started with full bliss. The entire kingdom was dipped in happiness and everyone has decorated their houses as if it's their own daughter's marriage. Samragni's marriage means, it's festival in that Gadodiya empire.
Laksh and his brothers, father reaches their palace. All welcome them wholeheartedly. Dp is very happy and Adarsh has no ends of happiness.
Then a small girl comes near Laksh and gives a letter.
"It's emergency, please meet me on palace terrace. From Ragini."
Laksh: I will come just now.
All nods their heads. Laksh goes to terrace. Ragini was standing at a pillar facing other side.
Laksh: Samragni, tell me what that emergency is??
Then Ragini turns back. Laksh amazes. Ragini was wearing the jewelry which was given by Laksh four years back. And some more extra to it also.
Ragini: how am I looking Prince Laksh?
Laksh: how can a normal guy like me explain your beauty Samragni? That God has to send a poet only just for you.
Ragini: you are that poet already. And, don't call me samragni again.
Laksh: then you don't call me prince.
Ragini: but prince, a wife is not supposed to call husband with name.
Laksh: ok, then I will call you samragni always.
Says Laksh and about to go.
Ragini: Laksh...Laksh..ok,..ok...
He smiles and turns back again. Both keep looking at each other. After a brief silence,
Ragini: actually, I thought, I'm very beautiful today. So, I just wanted to hear that from you...that's why I have called you.
Laksh: when were you not beautiful Ragini? You were beautiful always, as a warrior or as a bride. I have adored you as samragni and as a normal girl too. Because, it's not the appearance which made me to love you. I don't know what it is. But, I always look directly into your eyes whenever I see you...
Ragini gets amazed with his words. And a huge smile appears on her lips. He too smiles and leaves.
Laksh sits on wedding planks. Ragini is brought there. The music is playing. On the auspicious muhurtha, Laksh ties mangal sutr to Ragini.
They both are married.
Then a man comes in middle and plays drum. Ragini raises her head and look. He is looking at the pair and happily playing the drum. Ragini and Laksh also smile looking at him.
He sings and dances happily dedicating for that Royal pair. Swara too joins with him and dances.
Adarsh keeps looking at that man and gets a doubt. That man gifts the pair something and leaves. Adarsh follows that man.
That man will be going away hurriedly. He reaches a lonely place.
Adarsh: Sanskar..!
That man turns back.
That man: I'm not Sanskar.
Adarsh keeps sword point at his neck.
Adarsh: I know, that's you..!
Then Sanskar takes out his sword. They fights. Sanskar's beard will fall.
Adarsh: why did you come in disguise? Did you want to kill samragni??
Sanskar: chote mama, let me go..! I don't want to fight with you, because you are my elder.
But, Adarsh is about to arrest him, then a net falls on Adarsh. Sanskar looks at that side, it's Laksh who threw it. laksh nods his head, Sanskar too nods and runs away.
Then Laksh removes the net from Adarsh.
Adarsh: prince laksh?? What r u doing here?? Who threw this net on me?
Laksh: I don't know, I came following you...that you were going alone? What happened?
Adarsh: that man who danced is Sanskar..! why did he come here?
Laksh remains calm.
Adarsh: don't say this to Ragini. She must be atleast happy on her marriage day...
Laksh nods his head.
Ragini is waiting in her room. The room is decorated with all flowers. Ragini is looking at those flowers and sweets. She takes a flower into her hand and smells it.
She feels mesmerized with that fragrance. Then she remembers the past,
In her childhood when she wanted to wear flowers, dp stops her.
"Princess, these are meant for attracting people. And in this age, you need only attention. And, you always remember, you are born to fight..!" he says.
But, during marriage, he only orders maids to decorate her room beautifully.
Ragini laughs.
"I can eat whatever I want now, and I can smell all these flowers..!" she thinks and eats those sweets happily and smells that flower.
Rag: what a smell is this..! This is very soothing. Is this is called what fragrance means?? Hmm...everyone says that flowers spread fragrance smell. But, I never knew that..! so, this is the fragrance...umm...it's so awesome...
She says mesmerized.
Then she turns to door and shocks to see Laksh standing there. He closes door and comes inside. He listens whatever she said. He comes near her and takes flower in her hand. And he smells it.
Laksh: that's amazing. You never knew flowers?
He is looking pity at her.
Ragini: no...but Laksh, where were you? I was waiting for you...
Laksh: why Samragni has to wait for this normal prince?
Ragini smile fades: Laksh, why are you talking like that? You are my husband...
Laksh: but, why did you marry me? Did you ever love me?
Ragini: of course I love you...
Laksh bends to her face and looks into her eyes.
"your eyes are lying. If you had really love on me, you would have got tears."
Ragini: why would someone get tears if they love?
Laksh: you will never understand it Ragini. You were grown up like that. In rules and stubbornly.
Ragini: now, why are you saying like this? what happened to you suddenly??
Laksh: I realized. You have just married me taking pity on me right..! you just made me a fool by arranging that swayamvaram and to wash away your sin, you married me.
Ragini looks shocked at him.
Laksh: and that day, I felt happy that you came to clear my wounds. To see me, how I was feeling. But, you just came for my help..!
Ragini: I really came for you that day. I was really worried about you. If not, why would I apply medicine for you? Why would I felt shy seeing you...
She stops and closes her eyes and turns her face.
Ragini: actually, it's you who don't understand. Moreover, from childhood till now, I never had tears in my eyes. I never cried. Yes, you are right. I was grown up in strict environment. I never had time to think about emotions. That's why I don't know what the meaning of crying is!
Laksh feels sad with her words.
Laksh: sorry Ragini. I was just upset... I'm...
Ragini shows her hand, her eyes closed.
Rag: it's late already. Go and sleep prince laksh.
Laksh silently moves to small bed place and sleeps on it separately. He goes into sleep looking at her. Ragini opens her eyes to revel rolling tears in her eyes.
Then she looks at the sword which is struck in wall. She reminds it when she stabbed it in wall to remind her aim and that she is Samragni..! (that was happened four year back)
"No, what these tears meant for? I'm a strong girl. And I will be. These dreams and emotions aren't for me..!" She says and removes all her jewelry and keeps them in box and closes. She takes a deep breath.
Next morning,
Laksh awakes and looks for Ragini. She just took bath and came, she is wearing a creamy saree(in ancient style). She was standing before mirror and drying her hair.
Laksh feels mesmerized looking her like that. He goes near her and leans his head near her hair. She pushes him.
Rag: what are you doing??
Laksh in lost: oh my dear, I'm your husband...
He is about to come near, Ragini grabs her sword and threatens him.
Rag: but, I'm not your wife. Don't come near me..!
Laksh: oh my...
She again points her sword.
Rag: I'm Samragni. Ragini devi. Don't try to...
Laksh: you are looking so.....
Rag shouts: stop...!
And attacks him with sword. He runs to wall. She keeps attacking. Then he takes the sword which is struck in the wall. She amazes. Because, no one ever could remove it from that. Only he did that. and, that is the reminder for her always...that she is empress..!
He keeps that sword as defense. Ragini keeps looking at him.
Laksh: what dear, mesmerized with my charm??
Ragini gets angry and pushes him back. She pins him to wall with sword on his neck.
Ragini: don't annoy me..! I will give you punishment.
Laksh: what punishment? A punishment of burying in ground of love? Or, a punishment of love hanging??
Ragini removes sword from his neck and moves back a little.
Rag: I will call soldiers right now and I will put you in jail...
Laksh keeps moving towards her.
"Do that. please do that soon. Arrest me in your heart jail...!"
Ragini keeps moving back, while he is coming front. She slips on a thing and about to fall, Laksh holds her soon by waist. Ragini shocks at once and leaves the sword in her hand. Both were lost in the eye lock.
After a while, she comes to world. she moves far from him and sits before mirror. She closes her eyes holding her hand tightly. Laksh smiles and goes near her. he slowly takes ear rings and make her wear.
She looks him through mirror and smiles unknowingly. Later he keeps tikka on her forehead. Bangles to her hands. and he makes her wear anklets.
She keeps looking at him. He bends his head to kiss those creamy milk feet, Ragini understands what he is going to do...she soon takes her feet back and runs from there.
Laksh smiles...

The Primordial
With one goal fueling him, he broke through the final barrier, reaching the apex of power and regaining that which was once lost. Trying to find a new beginning, he reforged himself anew as he awoke to memories of a long forgotten past. Memories that intersected with his new reality. His invincible soul now unchained, surprises await him as he begins his new jouney in an unknown land. I'm just writing this for fun, but i'll never drop it. This won't be something short, as I have the very long term in mind, but I'm a total noob to writing, so I most likely won't release chapters very often, at least until I really get the hang of it. But, the chapters will always be several thousand words long. At the minimum 2k, maximum like 6k... Pretty big variations, sorry. If you like it, great. If you don't, that's understandable. Regardless, if you have a read, I'd appreciate feedback for areas you think I should improve on, whether it's the use of some words or how I should write something or WHATEVER. I'm open to anything, good or bad, because with your help, it'll help make this story better. **DISCLAIMER** So you don't waste your time, I want to let you know what you're getting into, because I like knowing ahead of time before I read something. This might appear like a Xianxia novel, but it's not. It only starts that way. This is a western fantasy world and setting that many of you are familiar with. The beginning chapters might be a bit of an info dump. Some of it might seems superfluous, but a lot of information is relevant to the story. The first few chapters might also seem rushed, but I'll try to keep it exclusive to those. This is a cliche, OP MC story with the typical harem, but other than the quick start, everything else will be gradual. There will be romance, and probably many moments at that, but don't expect anything TOO detailed. If you want something really steamy, look elsewhere. References and throwbacks to stuff most likely. The setting won't be really dark or really light. Middleground, I guess. The MC is far from a young kid, but he won't totally reflect his age. I don't plan on discarding info, abilities or characters that you KNOW should come back and be around. I see it a lot and it sort of bugs me haha... but I could have oversights, I dunno. As I said, I'm a noob. That's it, really. If you're interested, welcome to my world!

Origin
A group of college students find the last known warship from the Imperium, which came to Earth and started civilisation millenia ago. They will have to repair the ship, launch it back to space and then decide what to do with it. Will they restore the empire? Explore the galaxy? Or get up to unspeakably hilarious hijinks..... This is my first work, so please comment and critique as much as possible. This work is being migrated from Webnovel to Royal Road cause RR has a muuuuch better text editor and formatting options. I aim to release five chapters a week unless this catches on. In which case I'm happy to increase the release schedule up to 2 chapters a day based on readership.

Medieval Terror
[Trickle! Trickle!] Blood… Pure unfiltered blood. Thick wetness of inhumane variety was drowning the contours of my defiled countenance with crimson slick. My warrior’s mien was brutally decorated with the vile viscera and entrails of the dead. Scattered all around me was a large pile of corpses floating in the bloodthirsty puddle of the afterlife. Accompanying my rest within this detestable domain was a rapacious array of lord Beelzebub’s kin. A swarm of black motile embodiment capable of aerial drifts made my bloody appearance barely visible. [Buzz! Buzz!] I was dead yet living, I could travel between the broken realms of existence and meddle with the vengeful souls. Such was possible by virtue of my life that had succumbed to the Lure of Enigma. The bizarre events that unfolded which brought me to this destitute phase of utter dysphoria was a mixture of tales that will leave a distasteful flavour of doleful buds on your tongue. If you wish to know more about my apocalyptic journey then feel free to turn the pages of my undying path. However, I must warn you, inquisitive readers. My legendary tale might cause your weak constitution to become cripple, hence read at your own peril.
