Part 32

Nandini was walking in her garden alone as she didn't want to be with anyone. Since when Chandra had rejected her she felt heartache and was slowly going into depression. She had said yes to her parents finding groom for her. Suddenly her legs slipped. She was caught by a strange figure. She saw he was Senapati Bhadrashal. Nandini was shocked. He said Pranam Rajkumari. Nandini said Pranam. She asked what are you doing here senapati? He said I came here to meet Samrat. Had some important news regarding Vahik Pradesh and wanted to discuss with him. Right now I was trying to enjoy the beauty in front of me (he said it very lustfully looking at Nandini's waist). She became uneasy. He said I meant this garden's beauty. He plucked a rose nearby and offered it to her. When she took it he suddenly grabbed her hand. She got shocked. He said pardon me princess, I though a thorn would prick you so I grabbed your hand. He again saw her bare waist and sighed. Nandini pulled off her hand and angrily said where are you manners senapati. Don't remember I am a princess, you must behave in a certain manner. She threw the rose and walked away. Bhadrashal angrily picked the rose and ruined it. He said one day I will make you mine and will crush you just like this rose. He smelled it and lustfully said Nandini...............

Nandini was blabbering, what the hell he think of himself, I must complain to father about this. No why father, I myself is capable enough to beat the shit out of this guy. I hate him. Since I was a teen he is eyeing me like a predator. But he is so close to father and important for our dynasty just like Amatya Rakshas that.....oh yeah Amatya Rakshasa....she smiled and smirked......

Part 32 (Mini)

Chanakya and Chandragupta were busy with their mission, Eudemus had left to fight with Kalyani and Pauravraj had sent Malay to help her. Chandragupta had started secretly with help of Indradutt's spies in Taxila to hinder their help to Kalyani. She was getting greatly distressed. Eudemus and Philipus can any day attack on us and Malayketu still hasn't sent his troops here yet. Suddenly a messanger came, he said, Mahadevi, Acharya Chanakya has come to meet you. She said Acharya? Tell him he can meet me now. He said as you command Mahadevi. Kalyani thought Acharya? Why has he come?

Part 33

Swarna, Chandragupta and Akshay were sitting together. Swarna said I have made contacts with my father's Amatyas who escaped being imprisoned. They have agreed to help us.

Chandra said- Great, now people of Paura who are mostly mixture of Yavanas, Parsika, Scythians and mixed people will also help us. Princess of Paursa is gonna be really helpful for me. Thanks princess. He bowed sarcastically. But instead of laughing and smiling she was serious this time.

Chandra poked her nose and said what happened Princess...she said Chandra they have agreed to help us but they want..... Chandra said what? Swarna said ah Chandra in return of their help they want .....Chandra said speak na, why are hesitate...

Swarna said they want to have an assurance that they are not only helping their princess but.......... Chandra said now you are irritating me Swarna.

Swarna said Chandra in return of helping me and you, my Amatyas want us to get married.

Chandra got shocked and shouted No way. I will not marry anyone except Durdhara. Swarna said I know, but I had to give them false assurances. He got shocked. He said what? You assured your Amatyas that we will get married. How could you do this knowing that I love Durdhara. Swarna angrily said Calm down Chandra. This is what real life is. Get out of utopian world, all of you, You, Durdhara, Nandini, Shashank everyone. You want to become a king but don't want to take decisions like a king. Chandra angrily said marrying dozens of women is not a King's duty. A king's duty is to serve his people and constantly and tirelessly work to make their life happy. That's what Acharya trained me for. And I can do it with one wife alone. Swarna sarcastically said yeah I am seeing how willing you are. Chandra looked at her in anger. Akshay left them to give them some privacy.

Swarna said look Chandra, not everytime you can have your way. He shouted oh so now I understand, you have planned all this all along. You wanted me to marry you so you faked your goodness and sacrifices and now in back of having support of people of Paursa for me, you are planning to marry me. I didn't know how petty you can be.

Swarna shouted ENOUGH, she hit the wall near her and hit her hand...she shouted ah.....he became concerned.....he came forward to touch her hand but she stopped him...

Swarna said so this is you think I am, a petty concubine who would plan and plot to keep her king away from his queens. I never in my life thought you would think like this. Chandra you have become a warrior but not a strategist, real life is a lot darker (she said all this in great pain) her hand started bleeding, Chandra had tears in his eyes seeing her hurt like that but she was not letting him near her. She left her room in anger

Chandra saw her walking away.....he thought, how many sacrifices will I have to make? Will there be any end of it? 😢

Part 34

Nandini went to Amatya Rakshas. Nandini was always like a daughter to him as he had seen her since childhood. Amatya Rakshas was one of the confidants of Dhan Nanda and his highly trusted advisor.

Nandini told him all about how Bhadrasala behaved with her. Rakshas was furious at his indecency. He said that don't worry Rajkumari, that leech will pay for his sins. Nandini asked but how Amatya? Father trusts him as he won many wars suppressed rebellions very brutally. If he today demands to marry me, Samrat will accept it. Amatya assured him, rajkumari don't worry, till I am alive, no one can hurt you or the family. I will fight till my last breath to safeguard the royal family. Nandini had a sigh of relief. She thanked Amatya and left. Amatya angrily said Bhadrashal, you wont be spared easily for this.

Chanakya had came back from meeting Kalyani. Chandra asked Acharya what did she say? Acharya smiled and said she has been trapped Chandra, don't worry. He asked where is Swarna? Chandra said Acharya she has hurt her hand and is now in her room. Acharya asked hurt her hand? How? He told him about Swarna promising Paurasa people of having a matrimonial allianc with this young warrior. Chanakya smiled and called for Swarna. She came. He said Bravo, Swarna, you are a really intelligent girl. Chandra was shocked but Acharya? Do you even understand what she promised. Chanakya angry, I perfectly understand what she promised. Chandra said But Acharya, Acharya said no arguments Chandra. I have had enough with your kid's petty love stories. The love for motherland is greater than any love. I didn't interfere in your silly love stories because it wasn't worthy of my attentions but now the situation has become serious. Chandra you first need to understand you cannot have your way everytime. You are too stubborn. God forbid ,I hope you never get a queen who is childishly stubborn. Then you will realise how awful you sound. I understand you guys are young and are easily swayed by emotions but this needs to stop, right now. Chandra Durdhara for you is your ego against Nandini more than love. Chandra shocked, he said Acharya are you doubting my love for her? Chanakya said I don't have time to waste Chandra that I will think about it. But I have had enough. I had planned Your and Swarna's union years ago. They both got shocked. Chanakya said Yes, I did plan it. Chandra said so I will have to marry Swarna?

Acharya said Yes, But.............
