Hima sat in Siva's room looking at her blankly when the door to the hospital room opened and Deva walked in making Hima ask "It's been a week. Her wound is almost healed. Why isn't she waking up?"
Deva checked Siva's charts and signed saying "A wound is not physical sometimes" making Hima narrow her eyes.
"What about her family? Did you contact them?" Hima asked after a few seconds.
"Prem did. You know how her family is but her sister she contacted us back" Deva said making her nod while he continued "Gayatri called she needs you for the charity event tomorrow night".
Hima sighed and tucked Siva in properly before following Deva out towards his cabin to see Krish waiting for them "Cousin it's been a week since you are home everyone is worried".
"I'm scared what if Siva never wakes up" Hima said all energy lost making Deva hold her and made her sit on the chair while Krish handed her a glass of water.
"Siva is a tough nut to crack I'm sure she'll wake up soon" Krish consoled her.
"Take her home. I've night duty" Deva said making Krish nod and held Hima's hand before both of them went out of the cabin then the hospital.
The charity event is held in the palace and the guests invited there are the business magnets from India and special guests from Russia along with few political leaders and the loyal families to the throne and kingdom.
The ground floor is completely decorated with flowers, lights and tables completely in party style. And the butler was standing out assigning a personal assistant to each guests. No one is allowed without the invitation for the security issues sake.
The whole place was completely shining with elegance and totally upper class people showing off their expensive clothes and riches even in the way they behaved.

Everyone stood up once the royal secretariat announced "His majesty King Narsimha Raayala and her majesty Queen Meenakshi Devi" making everyone bow as the king and queen descended down the steps hand in hand together nodding at everyone.
"Your highness! It's a pleasure meeting you both" greeting the finance minister shook the hand of the king making him nod.
"You know why we arranged this event make sure you get the finances correct Mr.Minister" The king stated making the minister nod as the king went to greet the other kings.
"Your highness! On this occasion I want to talk about an alliance between our families" the king told Raja Surya Pratap Gupta.
"We already are family friends but taking a step forward is a wonderful idea your majesty" Raja Surya Pratap Gupta politely told.
"I want to offer my niece Himalika's hand in marriage to your only son Raja Chandra Pratap Gupta" the king said making the father and son look at each other before the high king nodded.
"It would be our pleasure to have her as the daughter in law of our family" Raja Surya Pratap Gupta said making Rani Meenakshi Devi and the king smile.
"Make sure Dr.Hima accepts it before you give your word your highness" Raja Chandra Pratap Gupta reminded him and looked at the stairs to see Hima and prince Maharudra Raayala coming down together followed by Princess Gayatri and her husband Krishnarjuna Rajula gaining everyone's attention.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
