Chapter 62 - The Secret Of Myra's mother's Death Revealed

Hearing Natasha's question, her mother told her, "No, I didn't see your father when I came into Feather Clan. At that time, I had no place to stay within the Feather Clan, and I couldn't even stay in my serpent form. If I did, my life would be in danger. So I decided it was best to remain in my human form. However, my beauty became my worst enemy, and some men from the Feather Clan started chasing me. I started running to get away from them, but they were following me everywhere. I was so exhausted from running that I collapsed to the ground. Seeing me fall, the man started laughing and coming towards me, and his hands were about to touch me when some guards came and stopped him. Just then, a palanquin stopped near me. I looked at the palanquin in astonishment, not knowing who was in it and whether I had escaped one trouble or landed in another."

After saying this, Natasha's mother became lost in her memories. She continued, "I was lost in my own thoughts when a gorgeous woman emerged from the palanquin. I was stunned by her beauty. Upon seeing the woman, all the guards bowed to her and spoke to her. I couldn't understand what the guard was saying to the woman. Then she came up to me and asked if I would come with her. After listening to that woman, I did not dare to refuse and agreed to go with her. I didn't want to get into any trouble like this again outside. I'd better go with that woman and let her think about what she wants to do next. I also had to find out what was going on at Feather Clan and report it to the chief. That old serpent told me that the same path you use to go up, you can use the same path to come back down. She would try to make the rest of the lockets while I brought the news. The woman took me to her palace and gave me a job as a maid. Although I didn't like being a maid, I was forced to do it at the time. After staying at that woman's palace, I learned that she was the wife of a minister of the Feather Clan. Along with this, I learned that when the chief tried to eat the Golden Egg, the Feather Clan members killed him, but even after that, some of his poison fell on the egg. This caused Feather Clan's King to have black spots on his body ever since he was born. When the King of the Feather Clan realised that a Serpent had caused his condition, he unleashed his anger on the entire Serpent Clan and ordered the extermination of the Serpent Clan. With his orders, the remaining members of the Serpent Clan began to resort to darkness to hide themselves..."

She had just said this when a voice came, "Upon receiving this news, Sneha used her power to allow one of her forms to remain in the Feather Clan and came here to give us the news."

Hearing this sound, everyone looked towards the direction from which the sound came. Even Natasha was perplexed as to who was suddenly speaking. It was clear from the voice that it was a woman's. She was still thinking this when an old woman emerged from the darkness. She bowed her head before the man and said, "Long live the chief!"

Looking at the woman, the man nodded and asked her, "Janvi, has the magic you have been trying to perform for so long been completed?"

Hearing the man's question, Janvi's head bowed in disappointment. She said, "Chief, forgive me, but I'm having trouble casting that spell again. I've tried everything, but none of our female serpents seems to have what I need."

The man was disappointed after hearing Janvi's words. However, he still said, "If you need any more help in completing the spell, can you let us know? If we can help, we will definitely help."

Hearing the man's words, Janvi nodded, "Yes, Chief, I will try to find the method of performing that spell in the book given by the mistress. Perhaps I will find some solution in that book."

After listening to them, everyone was unable to understand what magic they were talking about. Then Sneha asked Janvi, "Babysitter, what magic are you talking about?"

Hearing Sneha's question, Janvi said, "I will tell you about that later. For now, everyone else wants to know what happened next."

Sneha nodded her head in agreement after hearing Janvi's words, and Janvi continued, "When Sneha informed us about what happened at Feather Clan, we got the idea that why don't weshould make more such lockets and send the rest of our Serpents to Feather Clan as well. With Locket's help, he would never be caught, and even if the Serpents he sent were ever caught, the remaining Serpent Clan would be suspected by the Feather Clan. This will deepen the enmity between them, and we will take advantage of it. We will also prepare our remaining female Serpents and send them to the Feather Clan so that they, too, can earn their place in the Feather Clan. After this, he will specially prepare a female serpent and send her to the Feather Clan King so that she can win his heart and give birth to his heir. If that happens, that heir will become the next king of the Feather Clan, and through him, we will take our revenge on the Serpent Clan. Thinking this through, I told Sneha to go back to Feather Clan and secure her place there so that Feather Clan would never suspect her again."

Having said this, Janvi signalled Sneha to tell her further. Taking a hint from Janvi, Sneha continued, "Knowing the next plan, I came back to Feather Clan. After returning, I quietly began working for her. Although I didn't like being a maid, it was a necessity at the time. Gradually, with my service, I won the heart of that woman and became her special maid. After becoming a special maid, I came to know about the ongoing discord between that woman and her husband. The woman's husband wanted an heir from her, but she had already given birth to a girl, which made him angry. When I came to know about this, I thought that I could trap that woman's husband in my net and marry him and live comfortably. After that, no one will suspect me. However, the Feather Clan had a rule that no man or woman could marry a second time while already having a wife or husband. If even one of them does this, both of them may be punished. So I had to get rid of that woman. I couldn't marry her husband without getting rid of her. For this, I quietly started giving my poison to that woman slowly and along with this, I also started trapping her husband in the web of my beauty. Due to the poison I gave her, the woman's body gradually started weakening, and eventually she reached the verge of death. When his last moments were near, he asked me to take care of his daughter and gave up his life. As soon as that woman died, I married her husband and established my residence at Feather Clan. I also showered my stepdaughter with so much love in public that no one would suspect me. Soon after the wedding, I gave him an heir, which made him very happy,y and he began to trust me blindly. Now he did whatever I told him. Slowly, I began to provoke him against his daughter, so that my next mission would be easier and I could slowly bring the other Serpents into the Feather Clan and send one of them to the palace. Somehow, I even managed to take a serpent to the palace so that it could get close to the king. But this new girl came from nowhere and ruined everything. Because of her, the king even had the serpent, whom I had spent so many years trying to bring to the palace, killed. If that girl hadn't come, would the Serpent have already reached the king and given birth to his heir?"

After saying all this, Sneha fell silent. Her eyes were filled with anger against Neha, who had ruined all her years of hard work. Natasha, who had been listening to all this, had no idea her mother had been so manipulative. She asked, "Mom, why did you poison Myra's mother? And what do you want from Raghav?"
