In the soft glow of candlelight, Prince Var gently guided Roop to their plush bed, his strong arms wrapping around him in a tender embrace. The weight of the day's turmoil pressed heavily on Roop's shoulders, tears streaming down his face as he released the pain he had held within.

Var's soothing voice caressed Roop's ears like a healing melody. "My beloved Roop-ae, let your tears flow freely. I am here with you, my love, to share your burdens and mend your wounded heart."

Roop clung to Var, his sobs subsiding as he found solace in the warmth of his arms. "Var, my Lord, I never wanted to bring such trouble upon us. I only wished to be the husband you deserved, to bring joy and happiness to our lives."

Var gently brushed away Roop's tears, his gaze filled with unwavering love. "You are my greatest joy, Roop-ae. No matter the challenges we face, our love will always prevail. Together, we will overcome every obstacle."

As the night deepened, their whispers turned into murmurs of love. Var's fingers traced delicate patterns on Roop's cheek, his voice filled with the promise of forever. "In your eyes, I find my strength. Your presence in my life is a gift I cherish with every beat of my heart."

Roop's lips curved into a tender smile as he whispered back, "You are the light that guides me through the darkest of times, Var. With you by my side, I fear nothing. Our love is a beacon of hope that will illuminate our path."

Their words dissolved into a gentle silence, the air filled with the unspoken promises of love and understanding. Var's fingertips danced across Roop's skin, tracing invisible lines of affection that spoke louder than any words. In the quietude of the night, their souls intertwined, finding solace and strength in each other's arms.

As the moon bathed the room in its ethereal glow, Var pressed a soft kiss to Roop's forehead, their hearts beating as one. "Sleep now, my beloved Roop-ae. Tomorrow is a new day, and together, we shall face it, hand in hand."

Roop nestled closer to Var's chest, his breath steady and calm. "Thank you, Var, my Lord. With you, I find the courage to face any storm. I am blessed to be yours."

In the embrace of love, they surrendered to sleep, their dreams interwoven with the tapestry of their shared future. Their hearts, once burdened, now danced in harmony, embracing the promise of a love that would endure through every trial, illuminating their lives with a radiant, unyielding light.

In the respite, in the opulent chamber of Queen Menavati, the three Queens huddled together, their faces etched with resentment and bitterness. The air was thick with the weight of unspoken animosity as they discussed their disdain for Prince Roop.

"He is nothing but a curse upon this Kingdom," Queen Menavati sneered, her voice dripping with contempt. "A mere boy, incapable of providing us with the heir we so desperately need for our future."

Queen Kamini nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with frustration. "If only Var had been fortunate enough to marry a girl, this wouldn't be a concern. But that wretched oracle, with its ill-conceived prophecy, has damned us all."

Queen Leela's voice trembled with anger as she spat out her words. "It is an abomination that a prince like Roop has been granted such privileges in our Kingdom. He is an outsider, a threat to our lineage. How can we entrust our future to him?"

The three Queens cursed the oracle, their resentment seeping into every syllable. They blamed its decree, which demanded that Var marry a prince rather than a princess, for their current predicament. The weight of their expectations and the pressure to secure a male heir had turned their hearts into ice, leaving no room for empathy or compassion.
