Praise The Husband

Chapter 18

Rudransh holds his head between his hands as he lets out a groan of frustration. He had a lot on his mind - from dealing with the dark shadows on the floor to handling the issue of his brother, Prem, who attacked Sundari the other day. He knew he had to act fast, but he didn't want to act impulsively. He had always been overprotective of Sundari and he couldn't let anyone harm her.

"Did you find him?" asked Rudransh, turning to the shadows.

"Yes, my Lord," replied the shadows in a deep raspy voice. "Prem, he attacked her the other day and the man how tried to take her is still unknown. There seems a structural issue in the foundation of the dome. We can have it fixed."

Rudransh dismissed the matter with a wave of his hand. "Thank you. You may leave for now."

His mind was filled with conflicting thoughts. On one hand, he wanted to protect Sundari and punish Prem for his actions. On the other hand, he was torn between his love for his brother and his duties as a king.

As he was lost in thought, the doors of the court were slammed open and Bagwati stormed in, followed by her husband, Mukund. Abhimanyu, who was sitting beside Rudransh, stood up to greet them.

Mukund glared at Rudransh with anger in his eyes. "How could you do this to my brother? You had him whipped and thrown out of the kingdom!"

Abhimanyu quickly stood up in front of Rudransh to prevent any physical altercation from happening. Rudransh took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.

"I did what I had to do," he replied sternly. "Prem had the audacity to attack the people in my kingdom, including Sundari. I will not tolerate such behavior."

Mukund's anger only seemed to escalate at Rudransh's words. "You have no right to treat my brother like this. He was just defending himself."

Rudransh stood up, feeling his own anger start to bubble over. "I am the king of this kingdom and I will not be questioned on my decisions. If you don't leave this court immediately, I will have you thrown out too."

Bagwati stepped in, trying to calm the situation. "Please, Rudransh, there must be a better solution. We are family."

Rudransh's anger started to dissipate at his sister's words. He knew that Bagwati only had good intentions for all parties involved.

"I understand that, Bagwati," he replied, his voice softer now. "But I cannot let this go unpunished. Prem must face the consequences of his actions. All actions have consequences."

As Mukund and Bagwati left the court, Rudransh sat back down on his throne. His heart was heavy with the burden of his responsibilities. He wanted to protect Sundari, but he also wanted to keep his family together.

As he sat there lost in thought, Abhimanyu spoke up. "Mukund cannot be trusted."

Rudransh's eyes lit up with determination. "You are right, Abhimanyu. I must protect her at all costs."

With that, Rudransh stood up and made his way to house to ensure Sundari's safety. He knew that he had to act fast if he was going to keep his family and kingdom from falling apart.

Simba was always up for a good time, and he had decided that he wanted to impress the king. He had been hanging around the castle for the past few days, trying to show his worth and prove himself. While he was in the garden with Sundari, they heard Rudransh's voice calling out.

"Didn't I tell you that you're supposed to be resting today?"

Simba immediately bounced up to Rudransh, trying to flatter him and show that he was useful.
