Flashback...

The dark clouds surrounded the palace, giving the vibes of negativity and danger, The wild wind made it hard for servants to continue their task, It was like the weather was warning the people of Magadh about something but they were unable to portray.

The messenger was coming towards the palace, he was panting badly and sighed in relief when he made inside the palace safely, he quickly hoped down from his horse and ran towards Minister Abhram chamber without giving a single glance to anyone.

"Minister Abhram, Minister Abhram" He called out the busy minister loudly making everyone stop in mid of their task and look towards him with curiosity in eyes, the fear was visible in his eyes alerting every single person who was present there.

"What happened ? Why are you shouting and What are you even doing here?" Minister Abhram queried, the man gulped before looking around, he shook his head negatively.

"I have an information and I want to inform Your Majesty too" He replied.

"Okay" Minister Abhram signed others to leave the chamber and he himself head out with the man towards King Shivay's chamber.

"And then the big bad king realised that he would have taken his time to think before speaking, but as he is bad so he couldn't control his anger and ended up saying things he shouldn't...." King Shivay was cut off in mid by the guard who entered in his chamber and informed him about Minister Abhram request to meet him .

King Shivay nodded in approval and a minute later Minister Abhram entered in his chamber along with messenger "Your Majesty" they both bowed together "He has some message to convey" Minister Abhram stated and look towards the messenger, who start explaining about the army and camp at border of Magadh without further delay.

"How much they are in number?" King Shivay questioned, the messenger looked doubtful he pondered over it for a minute before replying "That is something we were not able to pin out your majesty, The camp is huge and by looking at camp they are 1000 + in there" .

"Minister Abhram, Call everyone in ground in half an hour, we have things to discuss" He ordered.

King Shivay's eyes were fixed on her face, he was waiting for her to speak anything to him, even a good luck was more than enough for him but he received none.

" So I will be taking my leave, take care of Yourself and Sia"with a fake smile on his face he turned his back towards her, Princess Anika who has controlled her water work from so long closed her eyes and one by one every drop of emotions cascade down from her eyes, Her heart ached in pain and worry, a sob was about to leave her mouth but she slapped her palm on her mouth to muffle it down.

"Anika" King Shivay turned once again, he came face to face with his back "I should have think before speaking and You should have thought before doing anything, You... You are angry on me like it's solely my fault that we are in this situation, It wasn't me who has started it,and I do agree that I shouldn't have said what I said earlier that was little of me, but think about your action too, think about the consequences of your action too, think about my image in people eye when they will get to know about this scenario and the fact that you were left unpunished, It's not always about you" he stated and was about to leave the chamber when Princess Anika turned and crashed her body against his, Tears were still travelling down from her eyes, King Shivay was quick to wrap her arms around her and pull her close to his chest.
