Kept For Heir

2.

The dark Scarlett liquid fell on floor and every single person in court room stared the scene with wide eyes, not even a word was heard until King of Aligarh shouted in agony.

Few hours back..

It's been four days since King of Magadh got the invitation of King of Aligarh to claim his possession , King of Magadh never thought for once that it would be this much easy, the least he thought that they will put up a fight and when he will cage one of the male royal blood then as a treaty or to be more precise as an exchange of royal prince they will accept his proposal, but this was far beyond his imagination, they didn't even put up an argument but accepted it, 'What kind of kingdom is it?' that is the first thing which came in King Shivay's mind but he shrugged not caring a bit, untill unless they are keeping their end of bargain he don't give a shit about any other thing.

"Order half of the troops to stop here only" king Shivay ordered his Minister Abhram who nodded his head and stopped on his track.

"Half of you will stay here only, We are going there with another half of you, If there will be any danger we will send a message to you through messenger" he said in his dominating voice, one half of the troops army stopped there and they continued their journey inside Aligarh with remaining half of troop.

As they entered in market of Aligarh, they saw huge croud gathered around a tree and a woman's dead body was hanging from a branch of tree.

"What happened that days in palace after that she was a living corpse only" One man said out loud and other agreed, they all had tears in their eyes.

"It's not even been a month of her marriage and see what happened to her, I even listened he didn't did it alone, he made other to do that too" Another one said and few of people gasped in shock

"What's going on here?" Abhram asked from one of villager who shivered seeing his royal uniform and shook his head negatively

"I don't know Master" He replied hastily before running away from there without looking back.

"I heard that it's palace troops who murdered Radha as per king's ordered" Another commoner shared the rumour he heard " And also they murdered her husband when he begged and tried to save her" Now their attention went on the dead of the dead woman's husband who was lying on floor dead .

"It's nothing like that , I saw it happening but before i can stop Radha she was hanging down the tree , she itself killed her out of shame" An old man interrupted in mid and then sighed with pity and look towards the dead man lying on floor "Shyam was coming behind her and when he saw her lifeless body hanging from tree he stabbed himself from his sword and killed himself , he loved her so much".

" Huh, if he loved her this much then why didn't he stopped him to rape his wife".

" We all know what happened with Ramloachan and his wife when he tried to save his wife from Prince" The old man said .

" What's happened?" Abhram went close to the bunch of commoners and asked once again " Did someone murdered them? Or did this dead man first killed his wife and then killed himself" .

"Are you from another village bhai?" A man asked and Abhram nodded positively.

"Yes, I am from Magadh, We are going to meet the King but then saw the crowd here so thought to ask" He replied and all commoners stared him with wide eyes 'Meet the king' it's the only thing which they heard and in a blink of eyes they are disappeared from there not giving any reply to him or looking back .
