Mohini- Rise Of Queen

30. Paint It All Red

Mohini POV 

I leave the Royal court and enter my room to find Naina there waiting for me. 

When she sees me, she stands up and comes to me saying, 

'Mil gayi khushi? Ban gayi Rani iss rajya ke liye? Aap humesha se yahi toh chahti thi, isiliye masoom banne ka dhong kar rahi thi kab se?' 

'Have you found happiness? Have you become the queen for this kingdom? You always wanted this, that's why you were pretending to be innocent for so long?' 

I keep my expression bored so she can't see how much her words are affecting me. 

I move from away from her and slowly remove my crown, keeping it on the top shelf of the cabinet. 

I push it back with the tip of my fingers. 

Naina says trying to gain my attention, 

'I regret ever helping or sympathising you.' 

I turn around and sign without showing any expression, 

'Then why did you?' 

Swati translates it with heat. 

Naina gasps then says, 

'You are right, I was a fool. When you started to doubt Agam the first time I should have stopped you instead of helping you. 

I don't understand why did even Agam allowed you to go even after knowing the reason.' 

I laugh at that, she is acting innocent when I know for fact that she exposed me to Yuvraj before me even telling her. 

I sign, 

'I want to know, if you had already knew about the truth and had already told Yuvraj then why you acted so innocent in front of me, huh?' 

She looks at me with frown and says heatedly, 

'I didn't tell him, it was Avantika who told him.' 

I frown at that then sign slowly, 

'How did Avantika knew about this?' 

She realises what she said in the heat of moment and she just says, 

'I don't know and I should go take care of Agam instead of wasting my time here. You enjoy your coronation.' 

She says the last bit with narcissim and leaves in hurry. 

I got my answer, Avantika was keeping eyes on me maybe on the say of Yuvraj but I don't fault him for that. 

I sit down and ponder something. 

Other than me only Avantika knew the half purpose of my meet, and that man has died, how? 

First I thought Yuvraj knew about this but Avantika knew the purpose. 

And we already established that Yuvraj wouldn't do that to me. But where did the ring go? 

Could it be that she killed him? But how is she connected to all this? 

Only one person can answer these questions, Avantika. 

I stand up, go to my trunk and take out the sword then check its sharpness by cutting the rope of the bed. It slices the rope easily. 

It is still sharp. I look up to see Swati looking at me with wide and fearful eyes. 

I indicate at the bed to fix it and she nod while swallowing.
