Ariana acted as if she was shocked to see Adrian in a make-out session. the woman's face was not visible because she hidden inside the covers.

"Adrian you bastard, can't you keep control of your lust. you have tarnished our family name" King Christos went and slapped Adrian hard on his face.

Salahuddin and Murad refrained from getting involved in useless issues were standing outside when Shuja, Shahab, and Abasi forced them to come along.

"Abi salah and Abi Murad for once can't you guys come along. I promise you will have a lot of fun" Shuja requested them and winked at Abasi.

Shazain was looking for someone in the crowd when he saw Shuja, he felt relieved.

"Who are you looking for Xain?" Ariana asked Shazain.

"My Seher" Shazain replied.

"She might be with her brothers" Ariana pretended.

Dear Xain, you will be surprised to see your beloved soon. Ariana smirked.

"Xain, I still can't believe Adrian can stoop so low. He should have been aware of the surroundings. I feel sorry for the poor woman"

"What poor woman! She was an equal partner they were passionately kissing each other when we entered the room"The maid who was part of this setup spoke loudly.

King Christos was hitting Adrian who was trying to hide in the covers.

" uncle we love each other. No matter what I will not leave her. We had no choice. We just can't keep hands of each other. I plan to make her my wife"

Ariana quickly ran to her father" Adrian is right dad, this woman who is hiding needs to be punished. I can't believe a woman can stoop so low"

"Look who is talking about virtue Shuja" Abasi whispered to his friend.

"Who is in the covers? " Shuja asked.

"You will see in a minute, let me see that bitch Ariana's face "

Ariana was ranting about how a woman should be no matter if she is a maid or royal.

She quickly pulled the covers."Why are you hiding now, you characterless whore"

She raised her hand to give a slap but was shocked to see the woman.

King Christos turned all white as if he had seen a ghost.

"Incest" someone shouted from the crowd.

"Helena....." King Christos voice was stuck in his throat. He felt like thousand knives piercing him.

Everyone present there was shocked seeing queen Helena in bed with Adrian, Her husband's nephew

Adrian turned pale. He thought he was enjoying Seher. He felt disgusted seeing his old aunt. Bile raised in his through.

" yuck aunty, what are you doing here. I thought it was my beloved"

Shuja just turned his face to Abasi in shock. He never expected that it would be Queen Helena.

"Why...." He questioned Abasi.

"Idiot we will talk later, Just enjoy the show"

Shazain felt sorry for King Christos.

"Mum what are you doing here? you were not supposed to be here" Ariana was shouting and screaming.

Queen Helena was still drowsy and did not understand what was going on. She found it hard to open her eyes.

"Someone Please bring some clothes" Shazain helped them out.

A maid brought a loose gown and Ariana helped her mom.

"Uncle we have been set up, look at aunty she is sedated. It is a conspiracy" Adrian was pleading.

King Louis slapped Adrian hard."I don't know what goes on in your palace, you spoiled my celebration"

"Xain, look at mom she is sedated. This is a conspiracy against us. she was set up by someone"

"Ariana, everyone knows about your cousin's reputation and this is not my kingdom. I am a guest here like everyone. I am sure King Louis will look into this matter closely. Trust him he is a very Just ruler. Everyone will agree with me if anyone can make the right decision then it is King Louis."

"Thank you King Shazain " King Louis was felt very proud listening to his praise.

Shazain left from there. He was more worried about Seher. His heart was aching thinking about her.

"Where is My wife," He asked Queen Theresa.

"She is in the guest room. Don't worry she is perfectly fine." She showed him the way.

Shazain ran towards the room."Sultan, Now I know that you really love her. Bless you, both" Theresa said it loud and walked towards the crowd.

Shazain saw Seher on the bed. He hugged her and kissed her.

"You don't know I was standing on burning coal away from you"

Seher was feeling light-headed.

"What happened to me Shazain"

"That bastard Adrian tried to drug you, but don't worry you are fine "

He hugged her again.

"come I will help you get changed" Seher was surprised to see the turquoise dress on the table.

"You are the queen of one of the wealthiest nations, and I would have never allowed you to wear someone else clothes. I ordered Utbah to bring this for you"

Seher smiled at him. He looked very loveable to sheet in this moment.

He was helping her with her dress.

"I will do it myself"

" After everything why do still feel shy, You know I am dying to see you in the dress which you promised to wear" He was zipping up her gown.

"I never made any promise"

"Liar, let us go back I will remind you.

Now tell me Why did you cry before?"

"Shazain The juice fell here " She pointed at her bosom."I felt very embarrassed. I think the white color did not go well"

"You should have listened to me and worn what I chose"

"I am sorry"

"You disobeyed your husband, I think you should be punished"

He pulled her closer and kissed her passionately.

"We are not at our palace Shazain."

"Feel me, Seher"

"let us go back then. I don't want any scandal here"

"Scandal, that reminds me what really happened do you remember"

"I was waiting for maid who would help me but suddenly someone entered a masked man and before I could react everything went black"

"It was that bastard Adrian's doing"

"What happened?"

Shazain was not sure that he should tell Seher but he knew Suja would inform her it is better he explained her.

"I saw that Adrian eyeing you and I did not get any good vibes. I would have plucked his eyes but had to control my anger. I did warn Abasi to keep an eye. when the maid who poured Juice on you, signaled Adrian I was sure he was up to something. That's why I followed you but was interrupted by King Christos. I excused him for a minute and asked Shahab and Shuja to follow you. I think they rescued you.

I don't know what happened that Adrian ended up with his aunt Helena in bed and it is a big scandal outside"

"You mean King Christos, wife"

"Yes, I think she was trapped by that Adrian. "

"What will happen now?"

" I hope he gets punished publically otherwise I will kill him. I wanted to kill him a long time back the day he misbehaved with you, but a prince dead on my land would have caused trouble. I was waiting for this day"

" Oh my God Shazain! what if he succeeded in his evil plan. I would have killed my self" Seher's heart was beating fast thinking about the worst. She was crying now.

" Stop taking nonsense, nothing would have happened when I am around to. How much do you cry Seher. You are my life"

He held Seher, wiped her tears and walked along with her"Come let us go outside. do you want to stay or shall we leave?"

"Shazain, I want to go"

"Come let us inform King Louis and say our goodbyes"

Seher was surprised seeing Salahuddin kicking Adrian where the sun doesn't shine. She had never seen her Abi this furious. everyone was quiet they knew that Sultan Salahuddin anger. The Sultan was very calm most of the time and when he became furious it means there will be a blood bath. King Louis did not dare to interrupt. Salahuddin always avoided parties and gatherings, it was an honor that he came to the French palace. Many kings wanted to meet him especially King Arthur of Spain, he sent His sister Catherine's proposal for Salahuddin. Bastard Adrian spoiled everything.

"What happened?"Shazain asked Abasi.

"Xain" Ariana came near but shazain signaled her to stop.

"Adrian indirectly confessed that he plotted against Queen Seher" These words were enough to send Shazain a fit of rage. he wanted to kill Adrian. he drew his sword but was stopped by Utbah and Abasi.

"Control your emotions Shazain, don't display that Seher is your weakness" Utbah held him tightly.

" I can not see that bastard breathing" his face was all red. He held his sword tightly blood was oozing out.

"Shazain, Your hand " Seher was again crying.

"Stop it Seher please" Shazain requested her.

"Seher and Shazain you please leave we will join you later" Abasi requested.

Shazain being impulsive ran towards Adrian was stopped by King Christos.

"Shazain, I am more furious than you are, Take Ariana along with you she is quite shaken up "

Seher was looking at Shazain. She wanted to see what he will do.

"King Christos I think Ariana needs to be with her mother supporting her. You need her presence more. I promised to deliver her safely to you. Stay together as a strong family. I am there if you need any help"

Seher was surprised at Shazain's words this means the exit of Ariana from their lives. It was too good to be true.

without any goodbyes, Shazain took Seher and left.

Seher was worried about Shazains bleeding hand "Shazain let me tend your wound"Tears were still pouring out of her eyes.

Shazain's only weakness was that had no control over his anger. he leashed out at Seher.

"Stop acting like a coward Seher, This is nothing. I am fed up with your crying now" He punched the door of the carriage causing a dent.

Seher just kept quiet.

It was late in the night when Seher's brothers returned along with Utbah and Abasi. Murad went with King Louis.

Shazain was pacing around all the time and throwing everything around his way.

*********************************************************************************

Shuja and Abasi left first then followed by Salahuddin, utbah and Shahabuddin.

" Abasi, how did Queen Helena end up in the bed?"

" Shuja, when Abi Shazain requested me to keep an eye on Adrian. I kept an eye on the whole clan. They all looked suspicious. the whole family was plotting against Seher. I heard that Mother and daughter wanted to tarnish Seher's image"

" you should have informed your brother or my brother salah. I still feel sorry for that woman"

" my dear friend. Shazain will never believe anything against King Christos. They have taken advantage and sucked a lot of wealth from him. Imagine he believed that Ariana was 22 when seeing her face anyone can make that she is older than that. I think God was happy with him that's why sent Seher in his life."

" Do you know who helped your brother back then?"

" I think whoever helped him wanted it to be Anonymous. definitely, it is not that King Christos according to me"

"You should have been the king instead of your blockhead brother"

"You are talking about your sisters' husband don't forget. he is a fool of circumstances Shuja. He was the one who spotted Adrian first. He loves Seher ver much. You know me and Utbah had to use full strength to stop him killing that Adrian"

"Still it did not explain how Helena ended up with Adrian? Abasi"

"Look I heard their plan. That woman is not worth any sympathy. I wish I could have landed King Christos with his cousin."

Queen Helena instructed the maid to spill wine or Juice on Seher.

Ariana being restless asked her mother what will be pouring juice do.

"Ariana, my child have patience. Let Seher go to the guest room, there will be surprises waiting for her"

"What do you mean mother? Look at Shazain he is glued to her"

"don't worry about Shazain, your father will keep him busy. As soon as Seher enters the room. My man will drug her with this"

"What is that mom?"

"witches portion"

"Mother, please it not the time to joke"

"This will make any person sexually aroused and drowsy"

"I can't believe it Mother"

"Adrian is already in the room over there, ready for his prey, You know he is a monk from past few weeks waiting to quench his thirst through Seher" She laughed wickedly.

"What if her brothers interfere"

"They won't dear. Salahuddin is busy with other kings. They all want to meet him. The second one is busy with his idiot friend and the youngest one is just a sweet puppy"

"You know Shuja my blood boiled listening to this how can a woman stoop so low. Seher is just a kid in front of her. way younger than her daughter. I saw how cleverly they distracted Shazain but it was good he alerted you.

when that man ran away seeing us enter. I saw the cloth lying on the floor along with this."

A black bottle was in Abasi'shand."The witches portion"

"I think you Little sister did not faint because of the potion. She fainted because she got scared."

Queen Helena came to the room to check and seizing the opportunity I drugged her and pushed her into the room where Adrian was. The room was dark with no lamps. you know what happened next"
