In the grand halls of the castle, King Angad frantically searched for his beloved little prince, Megh. His deep blue eyes scanned every corner, his voice echoing through the corridors as he asked the castle dwellers about Megh's whereabouts.

Finally, it was one of Megh's sisters who revealed the secret. With a mischievous grin, she whispered, "He's playing the ancient game of ball and hoop in the courtyard, Your Majesty. You'll find him there."

Angad's heart skipped a beat as he hurried towards the courtyard. His steps quickened, his mind filled with images of Megh's radiant smile and innocent laughter. He longed to see the little prince's joyful face.

As Angad reached the courtyard, he caught sight of Megh amidst a game of ball and hoop. The prince's nimble movements and carefree spirit brought a smile to Angad's face. Megh's presence had a way of lighting up his world, awakening desires that had remained unspoken and hidden.

But Angad, ever the responsible king, fought against the growing attraction. He reminded himself of his duty, the weight of the crown he wore upon his head. Though his heart yearned for more, he knew he must protect the innocence of their unspoken connection.

Taking a deep breath, Angad composed himself. He approached the court with a regal stride, his eyes glimmering with both affection and restraint. As he watched Megh play, he marveled at the grace in every movement, the youthful energy that radiated from his being.

With each jump and swivel of Megh's hips, Angad's pulse quickened. He averted his gaze, focusing on the game at hand. It was a constant battle, a dance between desire and duty, as he resisted the temptation that Megh unknowingly awakened within him.

In that moment, Angad realized the depth of his feelings for Megh. He cherished their unspoken connection, the shared moments of laughter and companionship. But for now, he would continue to be the responsible king, guiding the kingdom and protecting their bond from the complexities of a forbidden love.

With a bittersweet smile, Angad watched Megh play, his heart filled with both longing and determination. For the time being, he would revel in their unspoken connection, cherishing the innocent moments they shared while keeping his desires in check, knowing that duty called and their love could only exist within the boundaries of their unspoken hearts.

Meanwhile, in the lavish chambers of Namah Kingdom, Prince Vikram approached his mother, Queen Leela, with an air of curiosity and fascination. His eyes sparkled as he spoke, "Mother, have you noticed how alluring Prince Roop is? I wish I could find a girl who possesses the same captivating charm as him."

Queen Leela's face contorted with disdain as she interrupted her son, her voice laced with bitterness. "Vikram, you must remember that Prince Roop is not a girl but a boy. And I detest him with every fiber of my being. You should not harbor such desires."

Vikram's youthful enthusiasm waned slightly as he absorbed his mother's words. He wondered why his mother held such strong animosity towards Roop, a person he found intriguing and magnetic.

With a sigh, Queen Leela continued, "Roop's presence in our lives has brought nothing but trouble. I curse the day fate brought him to our kingdom."

Curiosity brimming in his eyes, Vikram couldn't help but inquire, "Mother, where are Roop and my brother, Var? I haven't seen them around."

Queen Leela hesitated, her mind racing with the knowledge of Var's current whereabouts. She knew Var had gone to seek advice for Roop's peculiar situation, a situation that had the potential to ignite chaos within the castle walls. Choosing her words carefully, she replied, "They are attending to some urgent matters outside the castle, my dear. Nothing to worry about."
