"Keep hundred soldiers at both the side gates and five hundred soldiers at the main entrance... Do it as soon as possible... I don't want to hear any excuses..." Lakshman ordered to the army head with his sharp cunning voice.
"As your command , Prince Lakshman..." He ran to the entrance to obey his prince. Lakshman was in charge of the war and safety sector of Ayodhya among the four brothers. So all of them were well aware of his short temper and valour. None of the army heads had the courage to speak against him.
"You need some rest, prince Lakshman... You started to work since morning and now it is night... You didn't eat anything today... Please... I can manage the remaining arrangements..." Said Sumanth. Disappointment was clear in his voice. "Don't stress your self in this level..."
With a mischevious grin Lakshman avoided that question. "What about the accomedation of the guests Sumanthji ? I will check it after completing the financial section..."
"Why can't you understand my words, Prince ?" Sumanth sighed. He was the prime minister of the King and a fatherly figure for the princes. That gave him freedom to question Lakshman's decisions.
"I know, you are telling me this all for good only... But... To be honest, I can't even think about it... I am not familiar with financial issues and also I have no relations with other Kingdoms... It was belong to Shatrughan and Bharath bhaiya respectively... But, today they are not available for us... I miss them the most and I can't allow the same happen to Ram bhaiya and his coronation ceremony... It should be perfect... I am stubborn in that case..." Lakshman replied in a calm voice but his smile remained as the same.
Sumanth couldn't help but smile. "As you wish..."

"Mila... Didn't you sleep?" Asked Lakshman. He saw Urmila sitting on the bed waiting for him.
"Really Lakshman? " Urmila giggled. "Do you think that I can sleep without you?"
Lakshman gulped in guilt. It was really late, actually only two or three hours were left for next morning.
"I am sorry Mila... "
