The moon hung heavy in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the royal chambers. The palace was quiet, save for the soft murmurs of the night breeze through the silk curtains. My bunnies, Raj and Abhi, had been babbling all evening, their laughter filling the room with a warmth I so desperately needed. But right now, exhaustion clung to me like a second skin.

"Raj, Abhi, come to bed," I called, but of course, they didn't listen. Instead, they darted off through the hidden tunnel that connected my chamber to their father's. This tunnel had become their favorite escape, a path to Abhirath's chamber whenever they wanted him.

I lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling. My mind was restless, full of unanswered questions that gnawed at me. Why did Dev betray us? Was it love for Trupti that had driven him mad? And what about Chavi, their innocent baby girl? She would grow up without her parents now. Abhirath and I would care for her, but still—how could she ever understand? What would become of her without them?

The weight of it all was too much to bear lying down. I sat up, pushing off the bed with a sigh. Maybe I should check on Chavi, I thought. She was always brave, insisting on sleeping in her own chamber despite everything. But her father and grandfather had spoiled her beyond measure, and now with Abhirath back, I could only imagine how much worse it would get.

As I reached Chavi's chamber, what I heard made my blood boil. Trupti's mother, that vile woman, was whispering venom into the ears of my innocent niece.

"Princess," she hissed, "you know that ugly big man, the king? He's the one who gave the punishment of death to your parents. That means you'll never see them again. And soon, they'll send me away too. Then you'll be all alone."

I couldn't see Chavi's face, but I knew those words were sinking into her little heart like poison. My vision blurred with rage. Without a second thought, I stormed into the room and slapped Trupti's mother hard across the face, the sound echoing through the chamber like a crack of thunder.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I snarled, my voice dangerously low. "What do you both want from me? Why can't you just let me live in peace?"

I grabbed her by the jaw, forcing her to meet my eyes. "What need do you have to fill this child's head with such rubbish? Soldiers!" I shouted, and within seconds, they were at my side. "Throw her out of the palace. Make sure she never steps foot in this kingdom again. But before you do, cut her tongue. I want to ensure she never speaks such filth again."

The soldiers didn't hesitate. They seized her, dragging her out as she squirmed and screamed. But I had no sympathy left for her.

As I held Chavi in my arms, her small body trembling with sobs, a mix of fury and sadness churned inside me. I couldn't believe the audacity of Trupti's mother—spilling such venomous words to a child. I pressed my lips to the top of Chavi's head, rocking her gently as I whispered soothing words.

"Shh, meri jaan, your Badi Maa is here now. Nothing will happen to you. Trust me, baby." My voice was soft, but my resolve was as hard as steel. I would not let anyone destroy her innocence with lies and fear.
