2 years later ,

16th century,

Theera : maharani ! Where's princess ?

Shodasi devi : who knows ? She is no where to be seen from the morning.

Adarsh : what happened ?

Theera : where's princess ?

Adarsh : she is in warehouse.

Theera : ok. Thank you.

Theera went to the warehouse. Mahitha is doing something. Theera took a feather from the darts bin and tickled mahitha. Mahitha smeared water on theera.

Theera : seriously princess.

Mahitha : who started first ?

Theera : ofcourse it's me.

Mahitha : what are you doing here ?

Theera : i came for you.

Mahitha : why ?

Theera : i think someone should propose adarsh today !

Mahitha : yes ! That someone will propose adarsh today for sure. But after  the competition ends.

Theera : what if he looses ?

Mahitha : i will propose. If he loses in swordfighting it doesn't mean that i shouldn't love him right ? So, why i wouldn't propose him ?

Adarsh heard these words by standing outside. He felt happy. As he heard the conch sound he moved towards his seat. Even mahitha and theera walked towards their seats. A swordfighting competition is being held in vijayapuri. People from all over the world are participating in it.

.........

As the sound of a baby's cry echoed in the room vallabha deva rushed towards the cradle. He took the baby in his arms and cooed her. She smiled by looking at her father. Vallabha deva kissed his daughter's forehead. His daughter moksha is 18 months old.

Vallabha deva : princess ! Let's go. Aunt mahi is waiting for us.

Moksha giggled as soon as she heard mahitha's name.

Moksha : mahi ... moksha plays with..mahi.

Vallabha deva : yes.

After moksha crossed 1 year priyamvadha killed herself by consuming poison due to guilt. Vallabha deva did all rites that will be done to a queen after her death. He decided not to get married again. Kritaja is married to a prince from northern province. Veerendra deva is bedridden after he got paralysed due to fractured backbone. Vallabha deva is doing his best to be a good king and a good father.

Vallabha deva sat in the chariot and made his daughter sit beside him in a baby seat made by adarsh. She is safely tucked in the seat. They started their journey to vijayapuri.

.........

1990's,

Mohan : i didn't get you sir !

Vikramaditya : really ?

Mohan : yes sir.

Vikramaditya got up from his seat. He walked towards mohan.

Vikramaditya : i am adarsh's father.

Mohan : what ? He is an orphan right ?

Vikramaditya : no. He have a huge family who just have blood relation. They are ready to kill him and occupy the throne at any moment. He is my prince in exhile.

..........

16th century ,

The competition is going well. It's adarsh's turn to show his talent. As he walked towards the field he looked at mahitha who is looking at him already. She nodded her head. He smiled. He moved his sword in a perfect rhythmn. The opponent is unable to cope up with adarsh's speed. Atlast adarsh won. Everyone clapped for him. The competition came to an end. The winner is to be declared yet. Theera nudged mahitha. Mahitha nodded and walked towards adarsh.

Mahitha : actually i a have to tell you something.

Adarsh : what's that ?

Mahitha : i think..

Adarsh : you think !

Mahitha : i never felt this in my life. But for the first time when i met you 2 years ago i felt like i am born for you. I felt that i you own me and i own you. I don't know why but i want to be along with you forever. I think, I LOVE YOU.

Adarsh's heart skipped a beat.

Adarsh : princess !

Mahitha : yes.

Adarsh : you don't know my whole story. I have to tell you something. I lied with you.

Mahitha : about what ?

Adarsh : about ...

Shodasi devi : mahitha ! Come here .

Mahitha who is raging with anger indicated her mother to stop.

Mahitha : i will come mother. Please leave us alone for some time.

Shodasi devi is hurt because of her daughter's tone but she kept quiet and left.

Mahitha : tell me !

Adarsh : as i have told you , i belong to 19th century. The tales that i have read are completely false. That is something that i understood after coming here. But i have to tell you something else. Even i am a royal. My father belongs to the royal lineagefrom which a king defeated vallabha deva and became the sole ruler of both ujwala and vijaapuri along with their own. As per what i have read it is mentiones that vallabha deva will end your lineage. But after seeing him and your bonding. I concluded that it's a false.

Mahitha : So, even you are a royal .

Adarsh : yes.

Mahitha :  which kingdom ?

Adarsh : Rastrakuta.

Mahitha : Rastrakuta ?

The name sent chills threw mahitha's spine.

Vallabha deva who just came there heard the conversation partially. Even he is extremely shocked.

Vallabha deva : how's that even possible ?

Adarsh and mahitha looked at vallabha deva.

Adarsh : will anyone explain me ?

Shodasi devi : i will explain my child.

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

19th century ,

After speaking with vikramaditya mohan went insane. He started packing his belongings. He wrote a letter to his wife and children. Then he started his journey to a secluded island. He need some space . Some space from the world.
