Kept For Heir

"Princess, there is someone on gate of chamber" Sara's voice bought Anika out from her thoughts, the deep frown which was on her face disappeared, she masked her emotion before looking towards her friend blankly

"Stop calling me Princess, You very well know i am not a Princess here, stop it before they punish you for calling me Princess, From now onwards you will call me Anika" Anika ordered in stoic voice, leaving no place for further argument " And call that person inside" .

Sara nodded her head in response and went back to the door of chamber, her eyes met with theirs before they travelled further down to their clothes, her eyes widened seeing them in open clevage cut blouse with slit cut skirt, they were adorned by valuable ornaments but nothing in them give reassurance to Sara about anything good, she realised it instantly that it's something nor she neither her Princess will like " Who are you ? And why are you here? " Sara asked firmly before her gaze stopped on the big thaal covered with silk.

" We are here to dress the new girl up, Is it you? " One of them asked and Sara frowned in confusion " Yes, we are new here, but why are you here to dress us up" Sara questioned and they rolled their eyes dramatically.

" You very well know that the kind of clothes you wore isn't going to arouse a man or moreover a king, so step aside and let us do our magic on you" the one who replied at first pushed Sara aside and stepped inside the chamber completely unaware from the presence of another woman in chamber.

"Come here now lady" the last one grabbed Sara's hand roughly and dragged her inside before they saw another lady there.

"Who are you now?" they all spoke simultaneously and look towards Anika for answer "Whom are we supposed to dress up?" The first one asked with her friends and they all sat down on bed huffing angrily and pushing the thaal which contains cloth aside.

Anika took their appearance and observed each one of them silently, her eyes travelled from their heavy caked up face to their half hanging breast to their full on display thighs, they looked like a prostitute and this made Anika gag in disgust, She knew it was coming soon, the moment she entered inside the border of Magadh she became one of them.

"It's me"

"No one should find out about them in Palace, keep them far away from the range of rumours, tag them as a prostitute or do whatever you want but no one should know about anything" Raj mata said sternly, her mind wandered in all direction, a hope of having a grandchild lightened up in her heart, at this point she doesn't mind if the child is legitimate or illegitimate .

" No one will have even a clue about them Raj Mata" Abhram responded in his firm tone, all this while King Shivay kept mum and heard the conversation between them silently.

" What about the prostitutes you send in her chamber to make her ready, Do they have any idea about who she is or for whom she is?" Raj Mata questioned .

" They only know that she is gift from King of Aligarh, they don't know who she is and for what she is here for, I arranged guards around Princess Chamber, they all are trustworthy and will not speak a word about anything happening there, no one else apart from King Shivay is allowed to go inside" Minister Abhram replied , Raj Mata nodded her head affirmatively, feeling content with the flow of things, and finally silence prevailed inside the room
