The Delphic Emir

Tale of Little Prince

Author's POV:

"Please use your right foot and push the rice pot." Virana, Karthik's cousin insisted.

Diya smiled and nodded doing the exact thing she was asked to.

Virana squealed as soon as Diya pushed the pot inside and then dipped her feet in the red atla.

" Stop." Virana yelled and Karthik frowned at her.

" I can't just let you in like that. There are some royal rules." Winked Virana.

" Go on Princess." Nodded Diya.

" Let us know either of your names before we let you in. Let our sculptor carve your name on, so you become us. That's the rule of this kingdom." Prided Virana.

" I along with my husband, King Karthik Ridhaan Aurora are here requesting the shelter under the mighty kingdom of Arka." Diya said with pride.

Karthik's chest puffed in pride how well she detailed about him and their kingdom.

" I, King Karthik Ridhaan Aurora, requesting the people of Arka to accept my wife as their Queen and let her be the goddess of fortune of their houses. With this we together are seeking everyone's blessings and a place in this mighty kingdom." Karthik said making Diya go all awe.

He sees her as the goddess of their kingdom.

" Now, the kingdom will how ever accept you both as you are their Trinity. But what about me? What do I get in return when I let you both in?" Virana winked making Karthik's father go angry.

He always hated his wife's sister's daughter. She is the total replica of his wife who is always there with Karthik to point the sins he commited.

" What do you want?" Chuckled Akash Agarwal, Diya's father.

" Anything that makes me a competitor to my SIL!" Virana grinned evilly to which everyone laughed.

" Then I'll be on a Groom hunt for you." Diya smirked and Virana whined looking at her brother.

Diya took out a necklace from her neck which are embedded with royal blue sapphires.

She handed it to Virana and she gasped.

" I didn't ask for expensive things. " Virana exclaimed.

" Gifts shouldn't be valuated Virana. It's a gift from your SIL." Diya said petting her hair lovingly.

" Thank you I guess." Virana chuckled.

Virana came forward to do the aarti but Aruna, Karthik's step mother came forward pushing Virana with her shoulder.

" My daughter in law, Sahasra will do the aarti. She is elder than you and the true Queen of Arka. She deserves to do aarti, and not this bratty princess." Aruna scorned taking the aarti plate from Virana.

Akash was taken back seeing her cunningness.

Sahasra came forward and gave a stink eye to Virana and gave a smile to Aruna.

The over sweetness they are portraying made Diya want to puke at them.

Sahasra came forward and grinned at Diya sickly sweet. Diya harshly held Sahasra and took the plate from her hand forcefully. The glare that Diya threw at her sent the shivers down her spine.

" Only the rightful one deserves to welcome us, not some side kicks." Diya muttered making her father in law, her mother in law and Sahasra gasp.

Diya handed the plate back to Virana and smiled at her. Her eyes held the adoration for her new SIL and gratitude for taking her side. She did the aarti to the newly wed and welcomed them inside.
