Chapter 11
Prithvi ordered his troops to be more vigilant and not be lackluster in their approach. He appointed a new General there and gave orders to deal very roughly with dacoits even if they didn't harm civilians.
Kanak in her room with her grandchildren was thinking about the heir to the throne. She saw Kushagra sleeping and thought, if Prithvi doesn't marry a princess will son of a concubine inherit the throne? No, I will not let this happen. I must do something so Prithvi finally moves on and marry sister of Samagra, Kamla.
In Samagra's kingdom
Prarthna and Kamla were sitting together playing Chausar. Prarthna said, see Kamla I am winning. She smiled. Kamla said, this is not fair Bhabhi, you are cheating. Prarthna said, no I am not. You are just saying this because you are losing. Kamla laughed. The bond between sister in law and sister was very beautiful. Kamla was a very elegant and regal princess and everyone loved her for her grace and intelligence. One of the many reasons Kanak wanted her to marry Prithvi.
Prarthana- Kamla, so many proposals come for you everyday. Bhadradev's Yuvraj Suryadev even wrote love poems for you, still you are not ready to marry him.
Kamla shy- She said, Bhabhi, please, you know everything.
Prarthna- I know Kamla, still I want to listen to this from your mouth.
Kamla shy- Since I have seen Prithvi, I only wish to marry him.
Prarthna smiled- I know sister, Bhaiya is so handsome and everyone loves him but why him? You have only met him for like two or three times that too very formally.
Kamla - I know but my heart tells me he's the one for me.
Prathna serious - You know he has Rajkumari Avantika in his heart.
Kamla- I know Bhabhi but still I wish to marry him. I am not thinking anything.
Prarthna - Well, I am trying my best to convince Bhaiya. Arya (Samagra) is his best friend and his bond with him is like a brother. He can not deny the proposal for too long.
Kamla- That is what I am wishing for Bhabhi.
Simhanad came back to their place and Shaka was furious. He shouted, How the hell he saw my daughter's face? Simha I have told you to not let anyone see you.
Simha- Father, so what? I am a girl, that's a reality. So what if he saw me.
Shaka- He is a royal, they have appetite for beautiful women, they use them and then throw them. God forbid if he captures you what horrible things he will do with you. He became panicked, he started shaking Simha, he said Vasantmitra, you will kill yourself before you are captured. Promise me. (Simha's real name was Vasantmitra).
Vasantmitra remembered Prithvi calling his eyes beautiful.
Vasantmitra - Sardar, calm yourself. I am not a fool who will fall in tricks of any man whether royal or civilian.
Shaka became calm. She said, I know being a woman is a lot tougher and thats why you wanted to hide my identity but enough, I can take care of myself.
Shaka- I have trust in you my child, but I don't trust kings and their hunger for beautiful women. They will lie, say false promises of love, give riches and then throw them ruining their life.
He remembered , his sister and her husband were getting married in Kali Mandir.
Shaka folded his hands in front of her husband and said, Maharaj, we are nothing in front of you. Please take care of my sister.
Her husband took his hands and said, I love Lachi more than my own life. I promise you, I will take care of her. He hugged Shaka.
Shaka thought, that liar....his eyes became red again.
