Bithday Celebration Gatherings......

As the noble families from different regions gathered in the grand halls of the palace, their hidden agendas and ambitions simmered beneath the surface; some of them wanted to be in the good books of the king while some wanted to get their sons noticed infront of princess.

 Among them here comes the family of Prince Prithviraj.... Everyone was aware about their diplomatic supremacy and greeted them.

Before the rituals of gathering and greetings, prithvi found himself hesitating over his choice of attire before settling down to move on, much to the amusement of his sister and mother.Accompanied by teasing looks and playful jibes, Prithvi finally settled on an outfit, though not without a fair share of deliberation. 

During their enroute to hall, his mother couldn't help but chuckle at his indecision, remarking to her daughter, "You recall, my dear. He took two hours just to decide what to wear to look smart! Oh, the trials of raising a prince." Sanyogita nodded the same seeing prithvi which made him look embarrassed. Asking can you please stop making remarks loudly what it will make of me... 😒.

In the parallel scene....

Meanwhile, Princess Sanyogita emerged from her chambers, resplendent in her royal finery, ready to greet her guests with grace and poise. But as she prepared to make her entrance into the grand hall, a sudden sense of foreboding gripped her heart.With a silent command, she asked everyone to wait outside for her, intending to gather her thoughts before joining the festivities.  She wanted a little time to calm herself down before she can face others.

But before she could take another step, a dark magic swept through the corridors, sealing the doors shut and plunging the palace into darkness.

In her chambers, a group of shadowy figures materialized, their faces hidden beneath hoods as they brandished knives in their hands. Their leader stepped forward, with a sinister smile playing on his lips as he addressed the princess with a chilling command."Princess, do not resist," he sneered, his voice dripping with malice. "Come with us quietly, and no harm will come to you."

But Sanyogita refused to yield, her heart pounding with fear and defiance. She called out for help, but her pleas fell on deaf ears as the leader cast a powerful barrier spell, ensuring that no one could hear her cries for help.

Desperate to escape, Sanyogita attempted to use her magic, but to no avail. She found herself cornered, her every move thwarted by the menacing figures closing in around her. She started trembling.. 

Meanwhile, prithvi while being in the main hall of gathering somehow felt uneasiness.. And he was getting glimpse of the bad dream he saw... guided by a sense of urgency and intuition, he used his magic to search in the hall for any bad ill intuition search.... he found one on the top and royal left corridor of palace where he found a barrier circulating a group of men ganging up on a girl...

He told his parents he is going to talk to some of his age children to build friendship... his father happily proud of his son decision agreed to the same...

He made his way through the palace grounds, his steps quickening as he followed the faint glimmer of light that beckoned him onward. But as he approached the source, he was met with a barrier blocking his path, a barrier that seemed to pulse with dark energy.

With the fate of the princess hanging in the balance, Prithviraj faced a choice: to retreat and seek help, or to press forward and confront the danger head-on. With a determined glint in his eye, he steeled himself for what lay ahead, ready to brave whatever challenges awaited him in his quest to save the girl from the clutches of mens ganging up in that barrier darkness....

Will he be able to save the princess... Please read next chapter to know in more detail....
