"Did we startled him?" Mihir wondered out tilting his head, as soon as karn left them alone. "And who cares? We should be worried for ourselves." Akash said in cold tone, although he, himself was panicking but didn't show off.

As they sat down, doing nothing.
Each of them lost in their own thoughts. "What do you think? Are we the only ones to travel back in time? I'm worried about others." Gaurav asked particularly to nobody.

"Hey, don't stress out. I'm sure others must be in a save place." Saiesh placed assuring hand on his shoulder.
"He is right and karn said he will send some guards in search of them." Mihir said to calm his panicking friends.

"Karn will find them, he will help us. We should trust....him" Mihir said unsure of trusting a stranger, but he was helpless regardless their situation. Again they sat silently, esha sighed loudly expressing her frustration, gaining everyone's attention.

"What? I'm hungry!" She whined, nudging virat, her boyfriend, who sat on her left side silently rubbing her back to calm her down. "Just shut your trap! I'm already annoyed with the shit happening here, and on top of that I have to hear your whining?" Akash said gritting his teeth, directly glaring her.

She muttered some curse words under her breath, matching his glare, not willing to give up. This triggered akash. "What did you say?" He aggressively stood up, ready charge at her, alerting others to hold him back.
"Hey! Sto--" Before Saiesh could finishing his words and a guard entered the room.

"Kumar, you have been called by maharaja to have dinner. I'm here to escort you all." He stood at the threshold of the door waiting for them to follow him. "Y-yes!" Mihir was first one to move followed by others.

"Finally! I was dying out of hunger!" Rohan excitedly squealed like a girl.
"Don't get over-excited. They will think that you had starved for years."
Gaurav said, putting his one hand around rohan's shoulder.

"Hey, but isn't it too early to have dinner?" Rohan wondered, "Didn't you just said you were hungry?" Gaurav asked being annoyed with his stupid question. "Yeah.... He's right, it's 6:00 of evening. Why would a sane person have dinner at snacks time?" Virat questioned matching rohan's stupidity.

"That's because people here have dinner early and go to bed early, to wake up early next morning." Mihir explained them. "They are not like your lazy ass!" Gaurav smirked lightly smacking rohan's head.

"That means surviving here won't be easy. At least for us!" Akash blurted out loud. "Finally you decided to use your last few braincells but please don't use, we can't afford too smart people" Gaurav sarcastically commented

"You scumbag!" Akash yelled clearly offended by his comment, he lifted his fist to punch Gaurav. "Come on you guys can't be serious for once." Mihir said coming in between them to stop before the verbal fight turn into fist fight. "Please don't!" He whispered to akash.

As the teens were following the guard, Saiesh caught the sight of saanvi engrossed in her phone. "Are you still trying to get signal?" He asked her.
"Uhh...yeah!" Saanvi looked up from her phone to face him. "But there's barely any." She sighed, "well, let's go" she ushered him to walk forward.

After walking through a never-ending long corridor the teens finally arrived at the dinning hall. The kids were caught off guards, their jaw hanging in air and eyes almost poping out of socket. "Holy shit! Are they going to invite the whole kingdom for dinner?" Rohan audibly whispered.

The dinning hall or more like playground was so huge that one can play football over, with the small table and chairs designed with golden touch, giving off vibes of royals. Wait they are royals!
