Once the Raayala family was thrown out, the royal secretariat bought a file and the vintage old feather pen making Deva walk a little forward taking Siva with him and made her sit on one of the chairs before checking her pulse ordering "Noel bring some ice packs" which made Noel immediately rush into the kitchen while Deva stood up and dipped the pen in the ink pot before signing the papers as the twenty seventh king of the kingdom giving him rights over all the properties,the palaces and Jewelleries.
"Congratulations your majesty. We've a lot of matters to discuss and need your attent-" the royal secretariat congratulated and tried to explain the situations that are going to occur but Deva cut him off "Right now I have to take care of my wife so let's start our official meeting from tomorrow. You are dismissed" and took the ice pack from Noel putting it on Siva's back of the neck making her shudder while the royal secretariat looked at Krish who nodded making him leave along with the other guests and the crowd of villagers after all the drama ended.
"Finally! You've got what you wanted dear friend. Congratulations" Raja Chandra Pratap Gupta patted Deva's shoulder.
"I'm happy for you, your majesty" Krish beamed at Deva who nodded.
"Happy? Do you even know what you are saying?" Gayatri asked confused.
"I know Gayatri and it's me who helped him with the royal protocols and law all this time" Krish monotonously said.
"Wh..what? You...how could you do this to my family?" Gayatri asked.
"Your family is me. Your home is with me and we'll be staying here and I'm going to complete my duty as a royal advisor to the king" Krish stated making Gayatri scoff.
"Royal advisor to the king? My foot. He's no king" Gayatri raised her voice making the guys widen their eyes.

"Gaytri..." Krish warned but Siva interrupted him before he could say something to Gayatri that might hurt her.
"Gayatri I know you are angry about all the drama happened tonight but try to understand that it is what your family gets for all the sins they did" Siva said slowly making Gayatri disgusted.
"Sins? What do you even know about my family? You came in between and you'll always be an extra member so don't you dare speak ill of my family" Gayatri yelled making Siva expression blank.
Krish took a step forward towards Gaytri but stopped when Siva stated "I know enough that your family killed Rani Gayatri Devi and tried to kill your brother too. So, you better choose your next words carefully" and closed her eyes as she felt the dots appearing her vision.
"It..it's not true. You must've got it wrong" Gayatri said and turned to Deva continuing "Brother please listen to me...you don't know how our father is. He's a good man he would've never harmed Gayatri peddamma (aunt). He loved her too much".
Deva just smiled faintly saying "You don't even know half of what your father can do Gayatri, may be you should start your research with the pharmaceuticals" making Gayatri cry.
Krish put his arm around her pulling her close saying "Gayatri I know you can't believe all these but atleast don't turn blind eye on everything" making her lean her head on his shoulder.
"You should rest Siva" Raja Surya Pratap Gupta insisted as he looked at her tired and still weak form.
Deva put the ice pack aside and lifted her bridal style before taking her upstairs to the guest room for tonight since there are many rooms that needed to be vacated from previous room owners.
He made her lie on her back and immediately went into the bathroom for a few seconds before returning back with the first aid box and started searching for something while she said "Congratulations sir!".

"Shut up" Deva growled frowning and turned to Prem "Bring my briefcase from the car" and put his palm on her forehead before giving her a paracetamol.
Siva took her medicine silently while he started putting a saline on her free hand making her close her eyes and leaned back on to the pillow. She felt exhausted but once she woke up from a week long sleep she didn't want to miss the big moment of her boss....her... husband's.
"When did she wake up?" Raja Chandra Pratap Gupta asked looking at Noel.
"She just came out insisting to meet boss and when I explained what was happening,she made me bring her here" Noel said.
"But I didn't expect her to actually act as boss'es wife" Krish openly said amused since Gayatri is in their room resting.
"Act? What do you mean act?" Raja Chandra Pratap Gupta asked confused.
"Ofcourse it's an act if not Siva and our boss are impossible couple don't you think so?" Noel scoffed making Siva open her eyes and looked at Deva who was already looking at her making Noel say not getting any response from either of them "Isn't it Siva? Boss...".
"I don't know you should ask my husband I guess" Siva mumbled making everyone widen their eyes as Maniamma bought the food cart inside.
First she took the haarati plate and lit the cuprum then stood beside the bed making Deva stand up but Siva held his hand and tugged him down to sit beside her as Maniamma explained "Since today was big day there were many evil eyes around you and now that you are married I don't know how many bad guys are after you" and did rounds with the plate making Siva smile faintly.
"It's your king who'll be chased by the bad guys not me" Siva joked making Maniamma smile as she put the kumkuma between Siva's and Deva's brows.
She was about to go away when Deva took a pinch of kumkuma from the cart and put it in Siva's hairline making Siva look into his eyes as the guys looked at each other's faces while Maniamma asked "Sivamma...where is your thali?"
"We had a Christian wedding" Deva said and held Siva's wrist which has a bracelet making her confused as he unclasped the hook revealing it as a chain.
The chain is his mum's, she gave it to him so he'd never take it off. What was it doing around my wrist? Siva thought as Deva pressed something on the pendent making the rings seperate from it with a clank which made everyone widen their eyes.
"That is why it looked so different from back then..." Prem concluded as if he got the answer to his question looking at the pendent while Deva put small ring around her left ring finger and did the same with his own.
Seeing everyone's confusion Prem explained "The pendent was boss'es mom's. She gave it to him so it would always keep him safe. He never use to take it off and one fine day when he returned back from a business trip there were modifications to that pendent and when I asked him he just told I just found a missing a part" which made everyone look at Siva.
Sensing their eyes on her Siva cleared her throat saying "I'm hungry. Aren't you all? Let's eat" and looked at Maniamma who has a smile but nodded.
