Fareb-E-Hayat

Prologue 0

The kingdom named Mahasthal is one of the biggest kingdoms of Bharat, situated near river Tapti, ruled by King Vaideh Singh Rajpoot. Twenty eight years had passed since he ascended the throne and had a well flourishing and protected kingdom and there were no traces of destructive wars. Sounds good right? A kingdom with no rush, full protection, and happy subjects but all these twenty eight years of peace were at the stake of getting risked because of a new blood.

Agastya Raj Suryavanshi, the ruler of Suryavarsha, a kingdom situated near river Sarayu, close to Ayodhya. Also, titled as a 'threat' by neighboring kingdoms. He had made it clear while he declared himself as the ruler of his kingdom when his father passed away, that he intended to make Suryavarsha, the biggest kingdom of Bharat. And to attain his purpose, he can go to any extent and that is why everyone was so scared of him. He had already started to wage wars and attain small kingdoms. In just one year of his reign he was able to conquer sixteen states bordering Suryavarsha.

Analysis predicted that his next move was going to be bigger kingdoms, especially the ones that had remained peaceful for years. Exactly what the ministers of Mahasthal were discussing right now with their King and their princess.

"Maharaj, we should strengthen our security by recruiting more soldiers." Defense minister suggested it to King Vaideh.

"This Agastya Raj Suryavanshi has gone insane. He is destroying all well formed peace alliances by his late father. " One of the royal judiciary said.

" Huh.. It's the zeal of newly found power and being titled as the king." Education minister snorted, his laugh herding out a huge amount of chuckles from the other minister.

"All he wants is violence." Vaideh shook his head as he squeezed his left thigh lightly.

"There should be a way out to reach out to him for a peace alliance." Lavanya Singh Rajpoot, the princess of Mahasthal and the only daughter of King Vaideh demurred.

"There is one way, Rajkumari.." The chief minister began. " You."

And everyone knows what it means.

"My daughter is no trading object, minister. Watch your mouth." Vaideh gets up from his seat. His breath flaring with anger. Every other member gets up along with the king while Lavanya remains seated, busy with thoughts that cross her mind.

"I was just stating the easiest way out of this mess, Maharaj. He's young and rich. I don't think Rajkumari would have any problem." He puts forward his point. Vaideh pointed his finger at him and was about to call him out for his audacity but he was cut short by Lavanya's loud and clear voice.

"He's right, baba. I can be of some help." Lavanya stands up.

Vaideh descends down a pair of stairs, "I'm not marrying you off to a potential enemy." He rejects.

"Neither am I marrying anyone." She assures and walks up the stairs, to where her father stood.

"Baba, I've a plan.'' she indicated with her voice low for only him to hear.

"What plan?" Vaideh turned to look at her completely.

"Let me put my training into efforts. I'll spy on him."

This will soon be here so be ready for the twisted tale of Agastya and Lavanya.
