While At the temple of the " Empire Swarnartha " 2 days after they escaped
The urgent meeting was going through:
Bride's Side (From Kingdom "Navayana"- not so big and not so small but had the highest advancements in magic and defence)
King Shomeshwar asking them with the loud đź’˘ đź’˘ angry voice--
I am asking for my daughter.Where is my precious daughter? Where the hell did that boy take my daughter?
We are sorry about what happened,we are also in a chaos because of that,but you can not address the king like that please be respectful —(replied the Yuga - the acting king ,king's best-friend and mahamantri-supreme advisor)
You are not even capable enough to protect newly wedded bride and having safe wedding are now tell me to keep calm.
How can I?
We found that there were insiders behind the assianation of the king's route.We don't know anything yet.we are working on it.
I don't care I only want my daughter to be safe.You can't even keep your dead elders word and want us to be understanding.
While feeling guilt Yuga replied- I am sure the king will definitely keep her safe.I am sure they will be fine.
How can I be assured what will you people deliberately scheme this to black mail us? What if you people will harm my daughter.
That will never happen as you know she is also our queen know. As for regulations we can never disrespect our Queen.
"Assurance"- with a calm yet angry and tonned heavy as if he would destroy the whole world.Seated beside the King Someshwar, Siraj (Princess' brother) : I want our Princess safe or the alliance will be terminated, besides that we will also investigate this ourselves . His gaze was stating clear threat or warning.
After that, for a while, a crude silence took over;no one had anything to discuss anymore everyone diverted the gaze against each other. The time was going through, no idea what was next. They concluded the meeting.
We will come a week later. Guess both sides need time to compose the thoughts. We will depart at the mid-day.
OK, then we will prepare for your departure- Yug, as of respect and obligation offered their hospitality.
No we do not have time , do what you have to do !! We do not need transportation to get there. Siraj with fewer words settled the things for the time. Surely not settled but snoozed you can say.
What happened inside the meeting room: Raaya-the imperial princess,King's only sister.
Not muchÂ
Then can you tell me why my brother fled just after the wedding?!?
We do not have much information about that now.
Tell me what i needed to know,all there that happened inside the meeting hall !!! Kusha's gaze were so dedicated it felt like an order. ofcource he were to always follow her commands after the king.
He told her everything.
They need trust.- Stated the princessÂ
What are you implying?
We both know, either sides do not trust each other.Â
When did you say they are leaving? Mid-day rightÂ
YesÂ
Make a appointment with me, with the crown prince and the King of Navnayana.
What are trying to do Princess?
With a smile she ended her thoughts.-Smile sure was telling him to do just as she says.
Yes your highness.
Greetings Princess of Swarnartha.
Greetings to you too king and the crown prince of Navnayana.
What is it you wanted to tell us?
Let's construct trust between us as we both know. - Princess stated herself in a clear voice.
Just as you know Princess the marriage were expected to do exact same thing you are suggesting. Asked the king
Just because the incident we shall not be discouraged. We shall work with each other.
I was calm enough to hear your thoughts.I just want our Princess to be returned safe nothing else now then we shall depart.
But..
As seated quietly, Siraj finally spoke
And how do you intend toÂż Do you have something you can collateral?
We can share our army with you.
We have plenty.
Yeah , ofcourse they do not lack anything what might can be given . ::: Princess was thinking hurriedly.
Than a Princess for a Princess. Told the Princess
What ??- With confusion Siraj asked
Take me as your hostage.
Princess !¡¡¡! Tke king will never have done that .Shouted the Yug who was standing maintening his composure.
She started conveying.
Yes that will be good. Take me as your hostage devoid of any emperial rights, I can be your employee, till Princess will be returned safely.
If trust cannot be demanded… it must be proven.
It was so quick that did feel like that was a scheme or anything to spy.
I agree with your conditions-Siraj said
If it has come to this than, Ok I will follow Siraj and the Princess - Agreed the king.

At the palace of Navnayana::
Rani Vrinda :
Did you find something about them
No- replied the king
He told every word that happened there.
Agitated The Princess of Navnayana Shambhavi : I was always against this marriage. Just because some dead's promise and blind prophecy. You all send my sister to enemy's land.
Just like before brother did not say anything,he still seated quietly.And now took a enemy to home.
Be silent Shambhavi. Rani Vrinda told her to be quiet.
Mother how can you say that .
Do you think we wanted thisÂż?Âż
Then what if we were struggling with some drought we could still have found different solution.
Khat khat -door knocking sound
May I enter - asked the Princess Raaya
I know both sides were expecting prosperity by the marriage. We did not even knew how it turned around like this.
We were still waiting for them to welcome but it was the night before they were scheduled to come.They fled in between the resting while the way of their return.
Our king is also gone, our people are also as confuse and anxious as yours.
We also do not have any information beside I told you.
Please try to co-operate. I am very sorry.

Meanwhile At the cottage at the late night , after they laid:
What are you looking at me so intently?? Is there anything else-
There was not much expectations of me for as a bride. I was always modest and was interested in learning but when I get to know about the book not had a much attractive cover like a normal book - I never knew that book contained the things about love and pleasure. It was probably what Miha- (the best friend) left mistakenly. Then I started noticing it in some temples also defining the eternal love.
Then I just expected it to experience myself with my one life partner. I was waiting to know about him.
His face I were to look at that dawn when he came hurriedly and removed his maur (a decorated hat type thing groom wear on head that covers face also) was shining and charming. It content my heart.He was good build and tall and strong. I never thought he would have pully both of us down with me in his arms.
His words woke me up from the thoughts.
Nothing,, I replied
You do not have to worry I will not do anything to you!! Just get to sleep.
Floor is hard-- he suddenly told me
Yes, sure it is
He started folding a bedsheet and-- Take it beneath your head as a pillow for now.
He gave her that and she was also tired from working so slept after some minutes.
Seeing her sleeping face, he--- not that I was expecting any bride would want to marry me a orphan , what if I am to throne the Empire? No one in the right mind would have agreed to marry. First, I never realised that I will have take care of someone as her.
He sat up and was thinking about things.
Chnn chhann - sound of payal(anklet)
She moved slightly in her sleep(changing position : one sided towards him)
His gaze fall at her feet.
Yeah, the sound of Payal that highlighted her presence to me that night, she did not wear it off.
She had removed all her jewelry… except the mangalsutra… and the payal.
A small smile appeared on his face.
Did not expect a Princess to sleep this soundly at a place like this and uphold with me this long . Now that I think she's brave enough to ride a horse , making quick decision and hold sword with firm and perfect position.SHE...was looking enchanting in that candlelight holding my sword ⚔️.I sware if she wanted my death I would have agreed to it.
Huh how can I think about this considering she is rival national Princess.....—MY WIFE huh..
