The Barbaric Proposition {Royal Engagement Series 1}

44 - Who is behind everything?

"Prizzi, Rajkunwari Chandra has returned back to Varhamgarh" Isha informed. "She seemed to be sad and was crying while meeting with the Rajrani and others"

Nandini was bathing when she heard the news. Because she had to stay with Manik most of the time she didn't have the chance to meet Chandra the time she left. 

"Oh she left?" Nandini smiled feeling light. That woman was a great irritation for her. It's not that she couldn't deal with her but she just don't want to waste her time and energy on Chandra.

"Yes" Isha nodded. "She seemed like looking for Samrat to meet but again the guards blocked her at the entrance. Then Rajrani has consoled her and sent her back"

"Isn't it good that she left already?" Purna was running Nandini's back as she said. "That woman is such a vile one. She wouldn't stop at anything. Running around while creating problems for others" Purna frowned.

"Easy" Nandini said, "you don't have to pressure yourself for that. She is gone now. No need to talk about her matter"

"Prizzi did she gave up?" Isha asked. She was aware of how that girl fought with her master.

"No" Nandini smiled and played with the water, "how could it be possible? Her heart wouldn't let her rest in peace"

"So she is going to plan another scheme?" Isha frowned.

"No, her capabilities doesn't stand such thoughts" Nandini was fully aware what kind of things Chandra can do. "She might feel rejected but she is harmless. Her matter is not important at this moment. There is another thing"

"Is it related to the tigers?" Purna asked. "I heard that those were trained one"

"The tigers appearance is not normal. This area is not deep forest but an open field. So tigers attack were rare thing. Those tigers were brought with a plan. They are from Jalansar"

Purna and Isha looked at eachother they focused their gazes on Nandini.

Nandini's expression turned dark. "He is going to take action again"

"But Prizzi that-"

Nandini raised her hand stopping Isha from talking, "let's not talk about it at this moment. You should be more careful with your words"

"Yes, it's my mistake" Isha lowered her head.

Nandini pondered for a while before asking Purna to help her get dress.

In the other tent Manik was sitting observing the mark on the paper. He had many enemies of course but he never encountered with such mark difficult to understand. His hand reached out rubbing the paper slowly tracing the lines drawn.

"Samrat" Pallav walked from outside.

Manik raised his head giving him a serious yet dangerous look, "what happened? Have you found about the source?"

Pallav shook his head, "it's difficult to get exact information about it. This mark is kind of strange. But there's one thing, it seems this mark belongs to some tribe"

"Tribe?" Manik's eyebrows creased. "You know well I don't desire half information. What taking you so long this time?"

"Samrat, there are many tribes around and some are unknown. To collect all the sources you desire I need few more days. I apologise for the delayed response" Pallav bowed deeply.

Manik glared at his figure before he moved his eyes towards the tent window. It seemed that the person who is involved in this matter isn't some ordinary one. Nor did he expect that because someone who can send trained tigers so freely without any care couldn't be an ordinary one.
