Sun rays made their ways inside his chamber through the window, hitting him directly on his face, King Shivay felt weight on his left arm, he didn't move and opened his eyes only tp come face to face with his third wife Priyanshi, who was sleeping beside him, his lips streched upward in a smile before he pulled his hand away from her, without disrupting her.

"Hail your majesty, Queen Ahilya wants to meet you" His chamber door guard informed Shivay, King Shivay quickly wore a robe and adjusted his cloth slightly.

"Let Queen Ahilya come inside" he ordered and made his way to the deewan at corner of his room.

Queen Ahilya made her way inside the chamber, her eyes fell straight on the bed and brows squinted seeing a female figure lying on bed, "Maharaj" She spoke softly, not wanting to disturb the lady "Here My Queen" King Shivay spoke from behind and Ahilya quickly made her way to him "If you don't mind me asking, Who is on bed?" She asked grumpily, her lower lips tugged downward in sadness, and she patiently waited for his reply "Queen Priyanshi" he replied calmly and her brows lifted upwards, she once again turned towards bed and stare the figure before turning back to King Shivay "Is she okay?" She asked with worry and he nodded in response.

"I am here to help you with bath" Queen Ahilya stare the ground as ahe spoke, her cheeks burned red and lips tugged upwards in a shy smile "Only if it doesn't bother you?" She further added.

"Then why are we delaying it further, let' take it to bath chamber" King Shivay said in teasing tone, making her blush furiously and without waiting for a second more, Queen Ahilya stormed inside bath chamber and start preparing for his bath .

Sara rinsed the shampoo off from Anika's hair and pulled her waist long hair out from water, before picking the paste of turmeric and chandan and rubbing it all over the areas which are out from water.

"Princess, You are looking more weak and pale from yesterday" Sara said in low voice "You hadn't ate anything from past four days, You need to be physically as well as mentally strong for everything" She continued but didn't dare to look towards her princess face, the only voice she can heard is her own and the sound of water, Princess Anika didn't spoke a word after their mini conversation at night, and Sara very well know what is happening with her, but she denied to not even try to get princess talk to her.

"Do you think, King Shivay will come today too?" Sara asked and finally raised her head upward to meet her eyes with Anika's eyes, Princess Anika was staring straight back in her eyes, his mention snapped something in her and her eyes turned deadly.

"Why all mens' are this pathetic Sara?" For the first time in past 16 hours, Sara finally got to listen Anika's voice, "Why they think with their penis but not head, Is women' are toy to play? Why i have to go through all this? Why me? Did you even see me complaining about anything in past?" Anika asked, once again tears start filling in her eyes and she look towards her friend with teary eyes, Not knowing what to say or do Sara decided to answer her last question only"No Princess you never did complain about anything not even once" .

"Because i had hope, hope that one day i will be somewhere better, hope that i too will get married to someone like Princess Ruchika's husband, i had hope that life will be better at the end, but now what everything came crashing down, it's like every single cell of my body is taunting me for dreaming, for dreaming about bettee future Sara" She screamed, her voice was filled with pain, she jerked her body away from Sara's grip and curled herself like ball in mid of bath tub "Go ... go from here, Go away from me" She shouted on Sara, venting her all anger on her "I don't want you too, just go away, leave me alone Sara" she shouted and started breathing heavily making Sara panic.
