The First Empress

A kiss

'A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.'

The queen entered the King's chamber and looked at him. He was lying down in his bed.

Boomadevi: Arase! Ungalai naan thondharavu seiya villaiye.

Virutha Varmar: Enna Devi??

Boomadevi: Indru irandam naal...

Virutha Varmar: Hmmm... Adithan ulle poga matten engirana???

Boomadevi: Illai Arase...

Virutha Varmar: Pinne???

Boomadevi: Netru ulle sendravar innum Varavillai...

Virutha Varmar: Appodhu avanudan iruppadhu???

Boomadevi: Vora desathu pen.

Virutha Varmar: Hmmm...

Boomadevi: Kuritha thedhiyil Kuritha padi nadakka villai endraal Deiva kutham aagum...

Virutha Varmar: Devi, naan solgiren endru varundhadhe.

Avargalukul Ondrum aagavillai endrargal... Naam erpaadu seidhom.

Iniyum arasanaai thalai iduvadhu nammaku mariyadhai kidaiyadhu.

En Magan ilamkaalai.. piditha pennai vilaga yaaruku manam varum..  unaku theriyadha???

Boomadevi was dejected but she didn't show it in her face.

Boomadevi: Purigiradhu Arase... Appodhu matra moovarin gadhi???

Virutha Varmar: Avan ethanai naal avaludan iruppan???

Ella pazhamum endro oru naal pulithu dhaan pogum... Appodhu avargalodu irundhu vittu pogiran.

Boomadevi: Thaangal ariyadhadhu Ondrum illai.... Appadiye aagatum Arase.

She failed her mission with the king. After the second night, she planned to bring the fourth princess out of his room on her own as the intended girl for that night was her own niece.

In the morning, she knocked on their door and there was no answer from them. She waited for sometime and there was still no answer.

She then called Sevili who was waiting on the door.

Boomadevi: Ulle sendru naan vandhirukiren endru koori Avalai azhaithu vaa.

Sevili bowed politely and replied.

Sevili: Mannika veandum thaaye... Ilavarasar Neengal varuvadhirku oru naazhigai munnar dhaan avargalai thondharavu seiya Veandom ena koorinar.

Boomadevi: yean?

Sevili: Avargal iravu muzhuvadhum uranga villaiyam. Ilavarasiyar migundha kalaippil irukkiraram.

Adhanal avarai kulippaatta povadhaga koori sendrar...

Boomadevi: Siva Sivaa... Ilavarasiyai panipengal indri kulippaattuvadha???

Sevili: Naanum idhai yosithu thaan naan udhaviku varugiren endru koorinen.

Nee sirupen unaku Ondrum theriyadhu.

Idhu kanavan manaivikul aanadhu..

Naan paarthu kolgiren endru solli vittu kadhavai moodivittar thaaiye...

Boomadevi palmed her face. She was scared about him to conspire against the throne. However, he was spending his days in his newfound love and her beauty.

She remembered that the apple never fell far from the tree. He should be like his father in this aspect and felt disgusted with his conduct. She left the corridor huffing and puffing.
