"Surya Rajesh, do you have an excuse for your sin? Maharaja Vaishnav stood and shouted at him.
"No father, I do not." He answered back without fear.
"My lord, a prince who is supposed to become a king should not forget that the citizens are his best interest, be it man or woman." a wise old courtier said.
"Ambika, do you have anything to say to support him in his wrongdoings as he always does? " He looked angrily towards the Queen.
Her head was hung down. She couldn't say anything.
What can she say when her son along with his friends had drunk gallons of alcohol and attacked the women of the brothel. They had ruthlessly harmed the women in unspeakable manner and later burnt the brothel to ashes.
It later came up that one of the brothel girls was dearest to Ashwini and so Surya Rajesh had killed her. Even after getting the tag of 'Crown' Prince Surya was not satisfied. He wanted everything that Ashwini had, his fame, his pride, his girl.
All news spread like sand in the wind. People protested in front of the palace court.
Apparently, Surya's coronation was a couple of months away and by doing this he had lost the trust of the people. They didn't want him as their king though they never really wanted him, they wanted Ashwini. But this time the crowd made this clear that they don't want Surya as the king not because of Ashwini but because of his own actions.
Surya Rajesh, being assured that he would be the king, had begun to indulge in the luxury kings deserve but, in this process, he had left all the duties that kings are supposed to do.
While Ashwini had been the same Ashwini, the golden boy, the warrior, the person who people wanted as the King.
Vaishnav had promised Surya would become the Maharaja looking at the attention Ashwini had garnered. But Surya couldn't manage to reach the expectations.
From the prince who deserved better, he had become the crown prince who deserved the worse.
And now Vaishnav thought if he should break a promise made to the wife or break the trust of the kingdom.
He chose the former.
