I was bored, frustrated, mad and crazy! There is nothing here! How's people living.. it was night. Adhira came into my room knocking.

"How're you feeling, Princess Thara?", She asked politely.

"Can you do me a favour?", I asked with my gaze fixed on her.

"Yeah sure."

"Can you call me Thea?", I asked which made her frown. "Why?", She asked.

"Because I don't like the name Thara. I want you and everyone to call me Thea.", I said with a pout.

"I'm afraid you can't change your name, Princess.", She said shooling her head in disbelief.

"Why? Many poet would change their name right? I've read in many of my school books. They would have atleast 1 new name."

"Umm.. because they're poet. You're princess..", she said as I glared her.

I got up from my seat. "I will ask dad then.", I said which made her eyes widen.

"But Princess, main consert would pull up a fight with you again-" I waved her off and rushed downstairs. Father was talking to some guards about building a dam.

As soon as he saw me, he waved the soldiers off and turned back to me with a smiling face. "What is it, My Princess?", He asked hugging me.

"Promise me you will do anything to me now..", I said and he nodded giving me a silent promise.

"I want to change my name from Thara to Thea.", I said which made him frown. "But why? You know how beautiful is your name to be changed?", He said and I shook my head being adamant.

"Uhh.. I'll think about it. I will discuss it with your mother soon.", He said smiling.

"Had your dinner?", He asked remembering and I shook my head. "I will tell Adhira to bring what you want.", He said.

"No, dad. I will tell her myself.", I said in which he nodded.

I left him and paces back to my room. I saw Adhira arranging my bed to sleep. But, it's just 7:00 p.m!

"Princess, I will bring your dinner and you can sleep.", She said and left to bring my dinner.

Why I have to have my dinner so soon?

I held her wrist. "I'm not hungry right now. Let's have dinner after 10:00 p.m. Now, Let's have a look at the garden.", I said exciting.

I really like exploring things.

She took me to the garden where I gasped on the fact that it's huge that I've never seen. There were many flowers and leaves. Having look at these beautiful flowers at the moonlight gives it more beauty.

There was a pink rose which immediately caught my attention. I trotted towards the plant and had a look at that beautiful flower.

"Can I take this pink rose?", I asked Adhira. She chuckled. "It's your palace, Princess. It's all yours. Take what you want.", She said which induced joy in my mind.

I took two pink roses ignoring the thorns in it. I looked at the rest of the plants. Adhira explained everything about those leaves which is used for herbal tea.

After looking at the whole garden, I was tired. Literally tired. I asked Adhira to take me back to my room and she did. The time was just 8:10 p.m.

Why time is moving so slow!?

"Is there anyone who I could play games with. Not kids! Bring some woman of my age to play some board games.", I said to Adhira in which she nodded.

"Is it okay if they're workers?", She asked for clarification.

"Everyone are humans. Just bring them.", I said and she nodded.

Adhira was so beautiful like me. She equally beautiful as me. But her bad, she's working here as a personal maid for someone. And I'm feeling bad that I'm ordering her around.

I will not order her anymore.

She bought some woman of my age and some board games to play with. Many games were unfamiliar to me except one game. Pallanguli.

We teamed up and started playing the two player game. It was actually good playing with them.

"Princess is very polite to play with workers like us.", A young beautiful lady commented and I smiled.

We continued to play probably 1 or 1½ hours. We played different board games and they taught me how to. I absolutely loved playing with the...

"Princess Thara dares to play with maids..", a voice probably from my door snapped. I looked up and saw Aarthi standing there angrily.

"Yeah.. because I'm not a freak like you..", I said in which she was clenching her fists. I continued to play the new board game they taught me.

Everyone was hesitating to play as Aarthi was glaring angrily at them.

"Can you get out Aarthi? Because you're interrupting us..", I yelled at her.

"You've got a lot of gut today. I think it's time to loose it.", She said stepping towards me. I got up so did others. She took the water jug and splashed it on my dress.

Shit!

I was angry at her now. A lot angry. I grabbed her hair with my fist and slapped her. She didn't start quite and started hitting me as well. But I didn't give up and hit her many times better than her.

Everyone was watching shocked. Adhira was trying to pull away Aarthi from me. But, we were still fighting.

Some of the workers ran outside to inform my father or soldiers to stop our fight as they couldn't do anything. She was hitting my in my face so did I. She is a noob in fighting..

I'm far better than her in fighting and I'm proud of that. My dress was fully drenched with water that she splashed on me. I need to make sure I won't end up in cold or fever.

Because no alopathy medicines will be found here. I never consumed anything other than alopathy. I was also tired fighting with her and couldn't anymore.

"Stop it!", My father's deep voice which could be heard on the doorstep. But Aarthi didn't stop fighting hearing my father so did I.

I didn't give up so easily. I too attacked her. A man seperated us from fighting. She was the one who started it.

Everyone including my mom, main consort was present there. The man who seperated me fighting from Aarthi wasn't a soldier or guard or commander general. He looked Royal.

I eyed Adhira who is the man. She mumbled, "Tamizh.. your brother.."

Ohh.. brother?

"Why are you fighting?", Bro asked in which I looked at Aarthi who was panting in anger and tiredness which was due to the fight.

"She was the one who started, dude!", I said as everyone glared at me.

"What does dude mean?", Bro asked in which I was thinking his to manage.

"Uhh.. it's the other term for brother. Well.. forget it! Now, hear what she did!", I said and everyone looked at Aarthi. Aarthi's mother, the main consort was cooing her and cursing me.

My mom shook her head in disbelief. She is really disappointed by me. According to this generation, every woman ought to be polite to everyone irrespective of enemity between us.

"What happened?", Finally dad asked me. "She splashed water on me when I was playing. She started the fight first!", I said as everyone looked at Aarthi.

"She's a liar. She's lying. I didn't do that. She's pulling up a drama to make everyone have sympathy on here. She's anticipated for that.", She lied.

I was about to slap her when a hand held my wrist. It was Tamizh. Why, dude!

"Leave me.. what is wrong with you?", I squirmed under his hands.

"Are you hurt?", Father asked me and I pointed my hand where she scratched with her nail. Please, God! It shouldn't get infected..

"Adhira, apply medicine on her hand.", Dad ordered her and she immediately obeyed.

"What about you, Aarthi? Are you hurt somewhere?", Dad asked and she smirked at me.

She's gonna blame me saying she got a big injury because of me..

"Yes father! My head hurts. She just hit me there with something and it terribly hurts..", she said holding her skull.

Drama Queen!

"Liar!", I muttered under my breath which was audible for everyone.

The main consort paced towards me and immediately slapped in my left cheek. Meanwhile, Aarthi pretended like passing out. Everyone's attention turned towards her and I was like a accuesed there.

Just like what happened when I was 13. I've been cursed and blamed for what I didn't do.

They carried her to her room and father ordered his one of his soldier to bring the doctor. I can clearly say she was acting. Because she smirked at me before telling dad that I hit her on head.

Everyone left me there alone. Literally alone! Their attention was fully on Aarthi who was pretending to be fainting. But, no one heard me.

Why this bad luck is chasing me even when I time travelled to another timeline. Adhira and I was the only one standing there.

"Don't worry, Princess. She's acting. Did you notice the smirk before she complained to majesty?", She soothed me in which I nodded.

"Let me dress your wound now. Show me your hand..", she said politely and I did as she said. She dressed my wound which was hurting less than my heart.

I didn't care about what people here think or because Aarthi faked her sickness. I'm just hurt because it always happens to me. I'm being blamed for what I didn't do.

Soon, I could see dad on the doorstep of my room. He approached hear me and stroked my hair gently.

"I'm sorry for her..", he said in which I shook my head. "Is what I did wrong?", I asked him.

"No. You were absolutely right. All people have right to protect their self-respect. You're the princess of this kingdom. Why won't you have? You stood for yourself today unlike everyday where Aarthi and her mother teases you and you always cry in the corner. I'm proud of you.. but, violence is not always the way to protect our self-respect."

I nodded. And because of her, my headache is back. I will teach her a lesson tomorrow..

"What did the doctor say?", I asked.

"He said she doesn't have any injury. She might have fainted due to shock or fatigue that would've created during fight."

I knew her head was ok. She was ok too. She's pulling up a drama!

I nodded. It was 12:00 a.m. I didn't eat my dinner yet because of her. Father lectured me for few minutes and left. The only thing running on my mind was find the watch crown soon!

Because ancient times are not the place to be messed with. Especially, I'm in a king's palace! A small mistake would lead into a worst punishment.

I went to Aarthi's room where Adhira lead me. She was pretending to be unconscious and I could really see it. The main consort was sitting beside her blabbering and cursing me under her breathe.

Doesn't she have any other work apart from cursing me?

I heaved a sigh and took a seat on her bed. The main consort glared at me angrily.

"Get lost!", She yelled and I chuckled. Now, I understand their main goal is to knock out me, mom and brother. I won't let that happen until I'm here.

"Just stay calm, old lady. You don't want to get blood pressure. Do you?"

"Don't test me. You know I could go to any extend if I'm mad at someone.. especially you.", She warned me. She is literally giving a threat. She can't even pull out my hair.

I looked around and there was nobody present rather than me, Aarthi and the main consort.

"I've never seen you with so much gut.. did you become brave after you almost fell from the cliff?", She said chuckling.

"Just stop this. Things are changed now. I'm not the Thara you always see. I'm Thea who faced far worse than this. Got it?", I said and turned back to leave. I left the place and reached my room satisfied.
