Eshant woke up with a racing heart, and sweat all over his forehead.

He sat up on the bed and whipped off the sweat, sighing hard.

He automatically looked at the window at the side and something sparked in him as soon as he saw birds chirping in the fresh daylight.

He looked around the room and there was no one.

He stood up not being able to remember how he fell asleep so carelessly.

A certain kind of disappointment started spreading across his heart and he quickly ran out of his room.

He was pushed forward by the drive to strive that made him lose his weakness in just a moment.

"If something happens, I fear, I'll regret it all my life"

He murmured under his breath while he ran down the carpet-covered stairs.

"It was just one night"

He murmured while he walked Kanha out of his stable.

"Nothing happened in any of the others, anyway"

He argued against his conscience.

He jumped on his horse knowing if he found Shefali in that house, safe, then this craze would go away and he craved it so dangerously now.

"Eshant?"

He heard Devansh from the side supervising him who had apparently started following him when he saw him walking out of the house like a maniac.

"I'll be back"

Eshant declared and urged Kanha to run.

"It's not safe to run around like that in this condition. Just because the estimated time given by the Vyad has passed doesn't mean you are perfectly fine now"

Devansh shouted at his back as if he was in any condition to listen.

Devansh quickly ran after him on his horse to make sure his brother was not left alone without any help.

"Where are you going?"

Devansh asked trying to reach Eshant on his way.

Kanha was the swiftest and finest horse of them all in the stable. So there was no chance anyone could reach even near to him.

"What is wrong with-"

Devansh could not finish his sentence because Kanha had apparently come to a halt.

Devansh's horse stopped just behind Kanha realizing what was approaching them.

Both of the prince's eyes darkened.

Sultan Ahmen along with about 15 other horses and horsemen had stopped in a little distance from them.

A dry wind blew making the dust sway in between them creating a line of partition.

Ahmed smiled at the two familiar faces that stood ahead of him.

He jumped off his horse making an audible noise on the ground beneath him.

Eshant did not waste a second doing the same followed by Devansh.

The guards on the palace gates saw the crowd from there and informed a few soldiers to join the princes in case they needed any help.

The same announcement was conveyed to the royal court that had just begun to set.

"What a pleasant surprise"

Eshant said with a professional smile walking in for a hug of courtesy.

"I bet"

Replied Ahmed hugging the prince back.
