Mahitha : what proof ?

Theera : he tried to kill maharaja by disguising himself as a woman. Maharani is searching for him. Your father is in critical condition yuvarani. He is the reason for that. This cave is the previous settlement of that bandit. This commander, Priyamvadha and that bandit are allies. They are working together for our destruction. If you want take a look at this tattoo.

Theera teared the sleeve of dead commander's uniform. Mahitha saw bandits symbol.

Theera : are you believing me now ?

Mahitha hugged theera.

Mahitha : sorry for doubting you theera.

Theera : it's fine princess. Let's go !

Mahitha and theera stopped near the dead horses. They brushed their heads and left from that place. As soon as they reached the village they bought new horses and started their journey to ujwala. As they reached Ujwala they saw kritaja along with few ministers in the garden.

Kritaja : akka (sister) !

Mahitha : come let's get inside. We got the antidote.

Kritaja : you already sent the saint right ? He treated them. They are conscious now.

Mahitha : what ? I didn't send anyone !

Kritaja : what ? Then who's he ? How he came here and why ? He seems to be a noble person.

Mahitha : how did you trust him ?

Kritaja : you should have met him really. If you look at him you'll feel like joining your hands and show your respect.

Mahitha : I'll speak about that later.

Mahitha went inside. She walked towards the medical chamber and found it empty.

Adarsh : princess !

Mahitha turned around.

............

Shodasi devi : how's maharaja's condition ?

Doctor : he is recovering maharani. He will be fine in few days.

The queen gave the necklace that she is wearing to that doctor. He thanked her.

Shodasi devi : minister ! Whom do you think is most eligible to become next commander ?

Minister : i think the leader of western troop. He is perfect.

Shodasi devi : ok ! Train him.

Minister : ok manarani !

Shodasi devi : where's that witch ?

Minister : in the prison. She isn't scared of anything maharani. She is not at all bothered.

Shodasi devi : I'll make her beg me.

Shodasi devi walked towards the prison. She stopped near the soldier who is asleep. She saw a water pot. She splashed water on him.

Shodasi devi : hello ji ! I hope you had a great sleep. Now your bath is also done. What do you want for breakfast ? Tell sir !

Other soldiers tried to control their laughter.

Shodasi devi : is this funny ? Aren't you guys responsible for this ? What are you doing instead of waking him up ?

Everyone stood silent by bending their heads low.

Shodasi devi : where are those bandit's henchmen ?

Minister : we sent them to high security prison after that incident.

Shodasi devi : ok !

Shodasi devi walked towards woman's prison. She saw priyamvadha who is writing something on the wall.

Shodasi devi : how are you rani priyamvadha devi ? I hope you are comfortable.

Priyamvadha : thank you queen. I'm extremely comfortable as i am out of your stupid nephew's clutches.

Shodasi devi : ohh. I would love to show some hospitality to you. Be ready !

Priyamvadha smirked.

Shodasi devi : Make her confess everything !

...........

Adarsh : princess !

Mahitha : adarsh !

Mahitha rushed towards him.

Mahitha : how are you ? Why you came here ? You should've stayed in vijayapuri ? Who let you come here ?

Adarsh : I am fine princess. I came here to help you. Maharaja gave permission to me.

Mahitha : what ?

Adarsh : yes ! Let's leave as soon as possible princess ! Maharaja is in danger.

Mahitha nodded.

Vallabha deva : mahi !

Mahitha : brother ! How are you ?

Mahitha hugged him.

Vallabha deva : I am fine dear. Let's go to vijayapuri.

Mahitha : umm.

The pigeon which regularly gives information to mahitha came there with a scroll.

We got her - shodasi devi .

Vallabha deva : what's that ?

Mahitha : amma captured her !

Vallabha deva : great !

Veerendra deva : that's my sister.

Kritaja : let's end this soon. The bandit must have got the information already. Will he keep quiet if he comes to know about his swear sister being prison ?

Adarsh : what ?

Kritaja : yes ! She married anna and came here on his order.

They started their journey vijayapuri. Theera and kritaja grew close. Mahitha and adarsh are riding slowly.

Adarsh : princess !

Mahitha : ha !

Adarsh : why are you so concerned about me ? I'm no one to you right ?

Mahitha is perplexed after hearing this. She herself don't know why she is developing a concern for this stranger.

.........

the investigation team is investigating priyamvadha intensely. Even though after facing extreme torture she is not at all budging. She is not answering any questions. She is hell adamant . She is not at all loosing that wicked smile from her face. That hurted shodasi devi's ego badly. Shodasi devi remembered the day when priyamvadha got married to vallabhadeva. They don't know that she is evil. They came to know about her evil nature few months ago. After lot of effort they made vallabha deva to understand how evil his wife is. Even vallabha deva is not a good person. He is extremely evil but not a backstabber. Shodasi devi came out if her musings as she saw priyam vadha dropping to the floor.

Soldier : maharani ! She fainted.

Shodasi devi : call doctor !

The doctor came and initially got scared by looking at priyamvadha's condition. Doctor checked her .

Doctor : maharani ! She is pregnant !
