Mahitha assembled her team in a chamber which is highly secretive and only people who have a certain ring with brown gem can get inside by showing it to the security. That ring indicates that they are the royals or associates of the royals.

Mahitha : So, the plan is ! Theera and i will go to the market as some random woman who came for shopping. The team 1 should be ready to attack at any time. Team 2 should capture goons in the surroundings. I already got an obedience letter from that regions king. When we get the chance i and commander will capture both of them.

Theera : then what about vallabha deva ? Do you think he will be silent ? What about that bandit?

Mahitha : No ! They won't do anything immediately. I'll tell about that later.

Mahitha git nervous as soon as she heard vallabha deva's name. She wondered if she could believe adarsh's words. She dispersed her team and asked them to get everything ready. She started searching for some information about rivarly between their kingdom and hers.

..........

Adarsh woke up as soon as he heard the neigh of lakshya.

Adarsh : arey babu ! entra idhi ? ( hey boy ! What's this ? ). Let me sleep darling. For the first time i am having a sleep in a palace. In my century we have to sell our properties to stay in royal resorts even for few days.

The horse neighed again.

Adarsh : you won't listen right ? Ok ! I am waking up. I don't know why they have such big doors which even let horses to come in.

Adarsh saw new clothes on the table. A servant came in and told him to get ready soon. Adarsh looked at the bath chamber. He saw a small pond like structure in the middle with lot of bath oils and powders stacked in small tables.

Adarsh : oh my god ! Spa for guests. 

Adarsh got ready and came out. He saw lakshya waiting for him. Lakshya neighed again and pointed towards the palace with his front legs.

Adarsh saw mahitha at the entrance. He is awestruck with her beauty. She is looking like a goddess in her lavender colour saree.

Adarsh : if she comes to my time-line. She'll become the miss.universe !

He walked towards her with a smile.

Mahitha : how was your day in the palace ?

Adarsh : it's good . It will be amazing if you are really believing what i am saying.

Mahitha : I concluded something.

Adarsh : what's that ?

Mahitha : I don't know if i could believe your stories but one thing is for sure. You are harmless. You can't even scare a cat.

Theera who just came there laughed.

Mahitha : theera ! Teach basic defensive tactics to him.

Theera : ok princess !

Adarsh : why i should learn all these ?

Theera didn't speak but throwed a spear towards him and he caught it perfectly. Mahitha looked at him astonished. He looked at mahitha and smirked. Theera started attacking him and he is defending her perfectly. As theera is striking some perfect moves he is countering them .soon theera lost.

Theera : you know how to fight right ? Why princess asked me to teach you ?

Adarsh : I don't know. 

........

Priyamvadha sat in front of the god and started praying. She is pleaded god to kill her and release her from this hell. Suddenly she heard a bug shout. It's her husband.

Vallabha deva : kritaja ! 

He is shouting on his sister. Priyamvadha didn't understand if she should interfere or stay silent. She heard a slap sound. She decided to go. She saw kritaja who's cheek have vallabha deva's hand marks. Vallabha deva held kritaja with her hairs and with other hand he is clutching her throat.

Priyamvadha : maharaja ! Leave her . What did she do ?

Vallabha left kritaja and slapped priya.

Vallabha deva : you are asking me ? What are you doing by sitting in the palace ? Can't you see what she is doing ? She is working as a spy for mahitha.

Priyamvadha is shocked. She didn't expect this. If she had known that before she would have guarded kritaja from vallabha deva. She wondered why kritaja didn't tell that to her. Kritaja looked at priyamvadha with pleading eyes. Blood is oozing from kritaja's mouth.

Vallabha deva : soldiers ! Arrest this traitor and put her in jail.

Soldiers came and tried to drag kritaja.

Priyamvadha : maharaja ! Please. She is your sister. She is the daughter of our kingdom. Making her suffer will bring negativity to us. Don't do that please !

Vallabha deva : then what i am supposed to do ? Am I supposed to build a temple for her and treat her like goddess ? Didn't i kill your siblings ? What's wrong if i kill this motherless girl ? And afterall she is just my father's daughter and not my sister. I am the only heir for the kingdom. People like her have no right ! 

Thud ! A slap landed on vallabha deva's face. It's his father. He went to a pilgrimage and returned just now. By listening to cheif minister about vallabha's true colours he came to there rushing.

Veerendra deva ( vallabha's father ) : one more word ! Your tongue will be chopped off. I never thought I would give birth to a monster like you. If i had known that you will turn out to be someone like this I would have killed you the moment your mother died.

Vallabha deva looked at his father with anger.

..........

How's the chapter ?

So, lakshya and adarsh are developing a bond 😂. Will lakshya play cupid between them ?

What do you think about vallabha deva ?

I am someone who don't support violence. It's just a fictional story. And vallabha will definitely pay for everything he did.
