Queen Priyanshi and Padma sat at a corner chit chatting about everything, "You know that maid Mala who was assigned for Queen Ahilya, She was found dead today" A big frown settled over Queen Priyanshi's face as she conveyed the secret news to Queen Padma.

"But i haven't heard about it, even Hakim didn't inform me about it, i thought he is fast in tracking information" Queen Padma's brow squinted in worry and confusion "But how she died?".

"I really don't know much Queen Padma, Few days ago Queen Ahilya was complaining that Mala is missing, Her own guards were searching for her , A maid claimed that she heard someone's threatening Mala few days ago" Queen Priyanshi's eyes drifted over Queen Aasha who was strolling leisurely in her small rose garden with a little rabbit in her arms "I heard it when i was coming here, Minister Abhram was telling Maharaj about it , he was even asking for forgiveness about something but i didn't hear much" Queen Priyanshi sighed and once again look towards Queen Aasha's way only to find her disappeared, the little bunny which was in her hand a minute before was struggling to come out between the roses without being torn away by thrones.

" Then i advice you to not tell anyone about it Queen Priyanshi, there is something wrong going on in Palace, I can feel it" Queen padma said and when she raised her head back to look towards Queen priyanshi, she find her looking all troubled. " Is everything okay? " She asked and Queen Priyanshi shook her head negatively.

" Queen Aasha , there is something wrong, she was there a minute before, she just disappeared, she was there" Queen Priyanshi shouted and ran towards the garden where Queen Aasha was , Queen padma followed her and they look around frantically only to find the bunny bleeding and Queen Aasha's chunri at few feets away.

" We need to inform Maharaj about it" Queen padma said and they both sprang towards the court room.

"We are going to get in trouble Princess" Sara whined but still followed Anika around.

"Stop whining or stop following" Princess Anika ordered and start looking around to search the thing for which she took all this risk of sneaking out without anyone's notice, little did she know it was Minister Abhram who kind off helped her in sneaking out when he indirectly told her about the secret entrance which mert straight to the road of town market.

"You know, that man is setting a trap Princess, He want you to do things that king Shivay don't want and get in trouble, think about it else how would he had told us about the secret exit?" Said Sara and finally sighed when she spotted the glass Anika was searching for making a cage for her new pet she detest too much.

"There it is" Sara Pointed her finger towards it and Anika's face lightened up with happiness, so far Anika was enjoying her life from past two days, she loved being Anika not Princess caged Anika, if she keep the whole Mistress part aside, the other part of her life is beautiful, Minister Abhram putting his trust on both of them to let them go temple and showed the little place where he suggested them to plant a garden, him and Sara sneaking glances of each other and fighting for every second thing , she is been enjoying all this.

"But i still doubt the idea of cage princess" Sara whined again, Anika rolled her eyes and went to the shopkeeper for buying the glass cage, In exchange of cage and snake food, she handed him her golden ring with a diamond in mid, They both made their way back to the deserted road and was heading back to the place where she was held hostage or kind of willing prisoner , they heard a loud crying behind the bush, A woman was begging for mercy and a group of man was laughing, her fist clenched in anger, her eyes burn in fury before she passed the cage to Sara and sprinted towards the source of voice
