The next morning the same girl from yesterday who's her aunt's maid, technically her maid now woke her up before the sun was up and ran a bath. After bathing she helped her in getting ready by placing the ornaments.

'What's your name again?' Siva asked making the maid frown and say 'Rama Princess' to which Siva nodded

'What's your name again?' Siva asked making the maid frown and say 'Rama Princess' to which Siva nodded.

'Did I tell you about why I came here?' Siva asked.

'We came here to meet your cousin since it's been six months of her marriage and you missed her' Rama said.

'Take me to my cousin then' Siva said making the maid nod and guided her out towards the Queen's chambers.

Once before the Queen's chambers Siva directly walked in without knocking to see Ma...Arundathi on the couch reading a book who stood up seeing Siva and hugged her 'Siva! I'm so sorry about yesterday. But let's have a chat now' and dragged her towards the couch and sat down with her while Rama made the tea.

'Are you pregnant yet?' Siva straightforwardly asked making Rama widen her eyes while Ma...Arundathi raised her eyebrows.

'How did you know? We kept it secret for four months' Arundathi asked making Siva sigh and tensed.

'Umm! Don't go anywhere without your guards and be careful with everything you eat and do. It's so important for your son to know you' Siva said.

'Son? Are you that confident that he's going to be a boy?' Arundathi asked.

Siva nodded saying 'Let's just say I'm good at knowing what future holds' and got up before walking out leaving Arundathi confused as Rama also followed her out.

Once outside she stood shock still as the palace decorated itself and people started frantically looking around making her confuse then she looked at herself to see herself in completely new dress.

She got startled when someone yelled 'Find her! She should not escape this place' making her rush towards the stairs to see Deva holding a baby in his arms and anger seething out of his body like smoke as everyone went to search

She got startled when someone yelled 'Find her! She should not escape this place' making her rush towards the stairs to see Deva holding a baby in his arms and anger seething out of his body like smoke as everyone went to search.

'A baby?How...when was....Hey Mahadev!' Siva started panicking and ran from there breathing heavily.

"What the hell happened? Where's Arundathi? Why was Deva angry? Is it already the time of her death? No I can't let that happen. I've to find her before something happens" Siva thought and started searching for Arundathi just like everyone.

It's been hours and yet there was no sight of her and someone came to Deva telling him that they have seen her in the outskirts of village making him rush there with his guards which made her scared and was about to follow him when she heard something and went towards the corridor to see someone dragging Arundathi by her hair and started running towards them.

'Stop it! What are you all doing? Let her go' Siva yelled pushing the men away from Arundathi.

'Let her go? Princess I understand that she's your cousin but she tried to kill  her husband and her child' One of the men who seemed like a royal said.

'Do you have any proof? Who ordered this?' Siva asked as Arundathi shook her head denying the accusations.

'The King himself. If anyone were to see her we were ordered to kill this vicious woman on sight. She has committed a great sin and she's going to face the wrath of the royal family' The man said and nodded to one of his men who dragged Siva away.

'Siva! I didn't do anything. I didn't kill anyone please believe me. Please....let me go... Save me...save me...' Arundathi begged as one of the men hit the back of her head with an arm sized wooden log making her fall on the ground.

'No! Let her go....' Siva tried struggling out of the royal guards grip but he wouldn't budge.

The royal man stepped on Arundathi's throat making her struggle while he continued pressing his foot forcefully on her throat making her stutter out 'I.... will.....get ...ba...ck....at....you....all....I..wi..ll...en...d...thi...s..fa...mi..ly' which made the royal man grit his teeth.

He held her hair and bashed her head to the wall which made her gasp and fall down lifeless making Siva scream and kicked the guard and tried to reach Arundathi but her eyes seemed groggy as the men started breaking the wall and moved Arundathi's body into the wall as the royal man stated looking at Arundathi's lifeless body as the workers started building back the wall  'This is what you get when you kill a royal. A fate worse than death. You'll rot here for eons, in the same place where you took a life and see this family's next generations being happy and joyful which you tried to steal away by trying to killing their bloodline' and then turned to face the men.

'From today on there'll be no one called Arundathi. She's going to be erased from the history of our royal family as the King Mahadeva Raayala ordered. She shall not be named here or anywhere. If anyone tries to find out what happened, the King will kill them himself' The royal man clearly passed out the King's orders as the wall was closed and painted just like it was before while Siva's eyes closed with the last image of Arundathi's lifeless body.
