People looked at the big mandapam to see Deva jumping down and landing on his feet smoothly. He walked towards Nandi taking vibhuti (ash) plate and poured it on Nandi's head making it roar loudly before bowing down which made Deva kneel petting it.

"Mahadeva Raayala...Jai ho Mahadeva Raayala...Jai ho..." People started yelling excitedly since he saved them all today and calmed the angry beast.

Deva stood up and turned around taking the thrishulam he threw before which was inserted into the ground and looked at the child's parents rushing towards them and took their child kissing her and joined their hands to Siva and Deva.

Deva walked towards Siva who slowly got up dusting herself standing before him as Prem rushed to them along with Suri and the King who asked "Siva are you hurt?"

"I'm okay" Siva answered as she turned her gaze to Gaurika who looked like she might cry soon.

"Stupid you scared the hell out of me" Gaurika hit Siva's arm making her wince.

"You have bruises Ms.Siva. Let me check them once we get back to palace" Pallavi politely insisted making Siva nod.

"An accident on the first day of your return" Prem stated suspiciously.

"It's no accident" They heard a voice making them turn around to see Maharudra Raayala rubbing the vibhuti onto the horns of Nandi continuing "Someone applied aamudham (Serum which burns the ox's head) on it's horns so it went crazy".

"Rudra..." saying Narsimha Raayala hugged his younger son.

"You should be extra careful Dad" Rudra stated making the King smile.

Everyone went inside the temple and stood before Kaali ma's statue praying as the poojari gaaru chanted mantras showering the idol with pasupu(turmeric), kumkuma(sindhur), milk and flowers. He then took the three feet golden trishulam from the glass box and handed it to the King.

The King touched the trishulam to his forehead and walked out holding it towards the lake beside the temple which connects other temples from the other end of the village

The King touched the trishulam to his forehead and walked out holding it towards the lake beside the temple which connects other temples from the other end of the village. The King stopped in the middle of the steps and inserted the thrishulam in the black soil which is surrounded by small stones.

Deva and Rudra showered the trishulam with pasupu and kumkuma tieing a raksha dhaga (sacred red thread) to it before everyone prayed to it as poojari gaaru instructed "Until navaratri this trishulam will be here protecting our village from evil eyes, when the navaratri starts we'll return it to Kaali maata".

After the pooja people went to have dinner at the annadana satram (Food hall) arranged by the King behind the temple while the King, President and the temple's head of workers discussed the safety and improvement of the temple and its surroundings.

"Your majesty! They are Ms.Gaurika, Mr.Arun and Ms.Sivatmika our guests. They are here for a documentry on the Royal family" Suri introduced the trio to both the princes.

"Welcome to Maharajavaram. I hope your stay is well here" Rudra said making the trio nod.

"I thought you both were in Newzealand?" Pallavi asked looking at Deva.

"We were, but it was time to return" Deva said.

"Is it because of the threat to the King?" Siva asked without thinking making everyone look at her as she shrugged continuing "Well! When Suri anna told me about the rival village I guessed that it was something more than just rivalry but when Mr.Rudra told today's incident wasn't an accident I concluded that it's them who's a threat to your family".

"You are too smart for your job Ms.Sivatmika" Prem said.

"Well! My job comes with perks Chief Security officer Prem" Siva smirked folding her arms.
