Stay With Me

CHAPTER 42: RAM TO BE EXECUTED?

Yashasvini fought with all four soldiers who were constantly attacking Ram. At the moment, Ram feared about Yashasvini getting stuck with him here.

His fear came true. Yashasvini defeated the soldiers and went for a fight with Vidhurak. Despite such good combating skills Yashasvini had, she couldn't win a one-on-one duel with him. Unfortunately, Vidhurak was way too skilled at such type of duels.

Both Ram and Yashasvini were knocked out.

Meanwhile, both Dhrithiman and Anagha had reached the outskirts of Amaravati.

As soon and as they reached, Dhrithiman and Anagha searched around for Yashasvini but the portal had already been closed.

"Oh no! She got stuck there." Anagha said. Her eyes started to fill with agony and tears.

Dhrithiman was worried about the same, but he had to persuade Anagha to go back to Amaravati without her sister.

"Rajkumari (Princess) Anagha, I'm sorry but the portal has closed. You have to go to the palace on your own. The only thing I can assure you for now is that until my brother is with her, he'll keep her safe no matter what."

Dhrithiman said as he kept both his palms on her shoulders gently.

Anagha nodded and tears flowed out. Dhrithiman wiped her tears off and cupped her face with his palm.

A surprised Anagha looked at Dhrithiman.

Without even realising, Dhrithiman had given a loving look towards Anagha. He realised that when he saw Anagha looking at him back surprised. He immediately moved his hands.

"My apologies, for my behavior." Dhrithiman said with his head bowed down.

"It's fine Sahasyaji. I actually don't mind." Anagha replied with a chuckle.

Dhrithiman looked up at Anagha more surprised than she was.

It's fine?

Both of them concealed a smile.

"Sahasyaji, can you come with me to the palace? I would like to introduce you to the king." Anagha offered.

"I'm sorry, Rajkumari Anagha, but I can't come till the palace. I have my reasons." Dhrithiman said.

"You can call me simply by my name. I wouldn't ask the man who saved my life to use honourifics. And, if you can't come to the palace, I can understand. But can you atleast escort me inside the city near the palace?" Anagha asked.

Dhrithiman wasn't expecting to see Anagha again. Somewhere in his heart, he wanted to spend more time with her. If not the moment she asked, then they might never meet again due to their conflicting loyalties.

"I will be more than glad to accompany you Anagha." Dhrithiman said.

They both went together and walked slowly with each other.

"This is my first time seeing the city market." Anagha said.

"You've never seen the city market?" Dhrithiman asked.

"No. As a princess, I wasn't allowed outside much, especially because I'm way too young. Nobody in the city can recognize me easily."

"But Yashasvini didi (sister) was always different. Even though she wasn't allowed anywhere just like me, she still fought for it. There's nothing she can't do. She is a great warrior as well as a humble vaid."

"She is the one that had to bear the most. She has great responsibilities on her shoulder, not only because of being the princess, but because of a prophecy."
