The guards honked their horns and the majestic gates of the fort were opened. The moment I caught the sight of the Royal palace, I realized that heaven is not a place on clouds, Heaven resides on earth, here....
In my part life, where no royalty was in existence . Royal palaces were declared as heritage sites and I had toured a couple of such palaces and had always wondered what might have the palace looked like when people lived in them . But now, I was seeing that with my eyes. The palace in front of me was beautiful, no the word beautiful might not even descibe it.

"This is our palace". Vazraksh's voice pulled me out of my thoughts .

I remained silent , To be exact I couldn't think of what to say .
The walls the palace were made from Sandstones and there were numerous detailed patterns carved beautifully on them. I was too busy admiring the mesmerizing palace walls when the horse suddenly halted and I realised that we were standing in front of a artificial pond which had a fountain in the midst of it. I was just glancing at the lotuses in the pond when the horse turned around to face the procession behind us and I saw Rajamata getting of the palanquin .

"आप सबणे घणों परिश्रम कियो हैं, णे जाके विश्राम कीजिये। "

" You all have worked pretty hard, now you may go and rest. "

He said in his Native language. Till now he we talking to us in English for our convenience , probably because he thought that we won't understand his language. But I did understand what he said as I lived in India before dying . Though I'm pretty sure that Olive won't get a word of what he just said.

" धन्यवाद् हुकुम।"

"Thankyou, Your highness. "

All of them bowed to Vazraksh and started moving into diffrent of the palace. It was then that I felt Vazraksh moving behind me and he got off from the horse . He turned towards me and raised both of his hands in my direction as I sat there wondering what in the world was he doing .

He arched his eyebrows when he realised that I wasn't moving .

"You can't get off on your own , Can you ?" Yet again he was speaking in English . And I realised he was trying to help me get off the horse .

'Of course , He's trying to get you off the horse . What the hell were you thinking !!' I was yelling at myself in my mind . I placed my hands on his shoulders . ' God , I've gotta say he's got broad shoulders ' I shook my head to get these thoughts out of my head . If someone read my thoughts right now they would think of me as a pervert for sure  .

He placed his hands on waist and lifted me off the horse . He placed me on the ground and I was standing straight on the ground while all of my weight was being supported by hands on my waist and his shoulders. And he slid his hand down my legs and lifted me up in the air.  He started walking across the pond and the fountain and I caught a glance of Rajamata following us with some maids and Olive along with her.
