Aditya's POV,

It had been four days, since she had returned.

I and Surya, entered the borders of Jodhpur, dressed in black. A cotton black cloth tied around our lower half of the face to avoid being recognized. On entering the borders, the soldiers as usual stopped us.

Surya showed the emblem of the Rajcharak (Royal spy) gaining entry. We were joined by Abhimanyu and my brother, Adiraj, the master of the charaks.

They both were also clad in black. They nodded towards us and we nodded back.

"Angrakshak Abhimanyu and Surya, you venture into the west of the city while we both go to the east. Remember, the policy is, a silent death, to whoever is related to the Cholas."

I sent Noor back, because we would be committing the crime of killing the guilty, and annihilating the remaining network of underground informers placed by the Cholas. This had been going on for these days now.

If the pawns don't remain, there'll be nobody to protect the king.

I smirked at the thought of it. The chess strategy was used in war and secretive annihilation. The rooks, and knights can be taken care of during a face off. As for the bishops, they never take a single straight step. Buying them off will be easy.

The night was young, as we were tainted with the blood of the double faced. Walking through the deserted dusty roads, we entered the brothel through the back door. Cleaning ourselves up we changed into clean pairs. Clad in regularity, we cluttered together. All of us were smiling at the small victory.

I looked at the two angrakshak's. They were smiling and looking hopefully at me. Knowing the cycle of their mind I rolled my eyes.

"Get lost you two.."

"Thank you, Shreemaan.."

They said, not addressing me as the 'Yuvraj' in public. They ran towards the gate of the brothel. We both laughed ruefully seeing them scurry.

I sighed and looked at Raj.

"Raj, how are you doing these days?"

We both were extremely close in our younger days but as our responsibilities grew, we rarely got time for each others company.

"As I was Bhaisaa.."

"You can lodge somewhere and bring back those two drunkards back to the palace in the morning when they are sober enough, I don't want them creating a ruckus in the morning.."

"Two drunk people by myself.. Have some mercy Bhaisaa..."

He successfully made me laugh. Then his face turned a little serious. I knew the atmosphere changed from 'Bhaisaa' to 'Yuvraj' In a glimpse. I had forbidden my family from addressing me formally, and they tended not to, knowing about my short-tempered attitude, when they utter.

"Bhaisaa, our luggage, the weaponry, and the additional trunks of gold coins, have been already exported to the treasury. Anything more to be fulfilled..?"

"Hmm.. there is , but as a brother, not as the CharakRaj or the Vittmantri( Finance minister)... What do you think about your.. Marriage..?"

"Marriage Bhaisaa... but now.. I am still a child.."
