The First Empress

His demand

Love is like wildflowers; it's often found in the most unlikely places.

Ponnarasi reached the Prince's wing before Subodhar could stop. As she reached the stairs of his residence, she noticed them coming out together. They both were smiling at each other and didn't even notice her arrival.

Meanwhile, Sangamithra sensed her presence. She suddenly held Aditha's hand and whined loudly.

Sangamithra: Naan poganum Ilavarase... Neenga summa en Kai eh pidichitu irukka koodadhu...

Aditha understood her expression and cooperated with her.

Adi: Unnai piriya manam illaye, Devi...

His arm surrounded her waist after saying that.

Sangamithra: Arase... Pagal pozhudhu... Yaaravadhu paarthal...

Adi: Kannai nondi vidalam...

Except Ponnarasi, everyone turned around. She saw him proceeding to scent Sangamithra's nape.

She instantly blushed and turned around.

Ponnarasi: Ilavarase...

Adi: Yaaradhu???

His voice had a tinge of irritation. He then cleared and looked at the woman standing at the footsteps.

Adi: Ponnarasi Devi... Enna indha pakkam???

Ponnarasi: Thangalin arivippu....

Adi: Ama. Adhuku enna???

Ponnarasi: En urimai eh parikura maari irukke indha arivippu...

Adi: Devi... Adhil enna eludhirukku??

Ponnarasi: Ella ilavarasikum piditha unavu...

Adi: Idhule unga urimai eh naan enga parichen??? Mathavangalku dhaane urimai kudukka pattadhu...

Ponnarasi: Indha veetin thalaivi aagiya ennai keka veandoma???

Adi smirked.

Adi: Ponnarasi, indha veetin thalaivi yaaru nu inniku varaikum naan sollaleiye...

Ponnarasi: Mannikanum Ilavarase. Naan dhaane unga mudhal manaivi.

Adi: Ungalei kattiya adutha rendu naal le naan innum iruvare kooda kalyanam panninen.

Ungaleiye 13 varusham kazhichu ippo dhaan paakiren. Ivvalavu naal epdi nu enaku theriyadhu. Inime ipdi ellam solladhinga.

Indha veetin thalaivi en mudivu. Arivikapadadha varaikum adhe naama thodama irukradhu nalladhu nu nenaikren.

Her heart broke into pieces when he treated her badly without any remorse. Her eyes burnt to see that fourth princess clinging on him. She saw the difference in way of his treatment. He talked to her in informal language.

Adi: Devi, Inga irukka ilavarasigalil moothavar neer...

Indha unavu maari vizhayathule pirivinai*1 kaattama anboda pazhagunga..

Ponnarasi's nails punctured her hands as she clenched her fists.

Sangamithra: Naanum Raniyarudan kilamburen Ilavarase.

Adi: Raniyara???

Sangamithra: Ama... Ponnarasi Devi eh apdi dhaan kupdanum nu Poovarasi Devi sollirukkanga...

He stared at Ponnarasi and she panicked for a moment. Aditha might seem like a calm person on the surface but no one would wish to be on his bad side.

Ponnarasi: Poovarasi vilaiyatta sonnadhu Ilavarase... Naan avalai kandikkiren...
