Aishwarya of Madhuwara was a vision of innocence. Her soft, light brown hair framed her oval face like a halo, and her deep brown eyes sparkled with a gentleness that belied her tender age. Her demeanour was shy and sweet, and she was well-mannered...
The glistening Madhuwara's palace stood in pride waiting for the arrival of The Emperor Abhimanyu,but the kaniz (maids/lady servants) chamber echoed with the sound of anklets, a woman as pretty as the Apsara, dressed in a orange coloured lehenga, a simple gold chain lying on the slender neck and a thin maangtikaa (a Indian headgear jewellery) settled on the head, a heavy anklets tied around her glorious feet.
This beautiful and simple girl was no one else but 'Princess Aishwarya', not dressed like other princesses, not adorned by precious jewels or expensive lehenga (indian traditional skirt),but still the most exquisite lady of the Madhuwara's royal family,even if they deny her any royal rights she is still one and only.
Aishwarya entered her quarter,which was located in KANIZ KHANNA (Maids quarters) where her mother's friend's daughter 'Reshmika' was cleaning,Reshmika was Aishwarya's maid technically but since she was denied royal pleasures, Reshmika was now her friend.
Princess Aishwarya's View
"Aishwarya you are finally here",my friend Reshmika said, "what are you doing?" I questioned, "Nothing just tidying up your quarter, Aishwarya do you know about the arrival of The Emperor Abhimanyu?" Reshmika questioned,
"Yes,I do everyone in the palace is talking about his arrival." I stated, "But,do you know the King is planning to marry one of his daughters which includes you to marry The Emperor" Reshmika said, "I know baba will never marry me to such a prominent person,The emperor is also of a different religion the one who marries him has to adapt to the culture there." I said,
"And what if he chooses you?" Reshmika asked "He will never do that, why would someone marry a girl like me who cannot even give him political strength." I said sadly. "Let's go to the throne room and see whom he chooses." Reshmika said and guided me towards the throne room.

Emperor Abhimanyu's view
I came down from the elephant and saw Madhuwara's royal family waiting for me, the palace is not up to my taste,grand and exquisite but i really don't care. "Aapka Madhuwara main swagat hain, Badshah - e - Alm" said the King of Madhuwara (Welcome to Madhuwara, Emperor of the world), his wife did my tika as per their rituals and then he guided me inside.
"This is the throne room, Your Majesty, please sit on the throne." He said, his throne is certainly not upto the mark, mine is studded with precious stones, but this one is not that exquisite. He sat on the neighbouring table. "Badshah - e - Alm, aapki izzat ho toh Mai apni betiyo ko aapke samne pesh kru" he said (Emperor,please give me the permission to summon my daughters) I nodded in acknowledgement.
Soon, three girls came inside with their faces covered with transparent veils. "These are my daughters, Emperor",He said, I questioned "Hmne suna tha ki Madhuwara ke Raja ki char betiyan hain pr yha toh sirf teen hain,koi khaas wazah chauthi beti ko chupane ki?"( I got to know that king of Madhuwara has 4 daughters,but they are only three,any special reason to hide the fourth one)"Hm abhi use yha bula lete hain"( I will call her right now) He said, These three daughters of his seems to be cunning, I would rather die single than marrying them.
