~Kashi POV~
"Khamma ghani.
Hum hai Rudraksh ki choti maa, leelavati"
That old woman whose cold and devilish smile gave sudden chills to my spines. I could feel thick awkwardness in air.
Bhaisa cleared his throat to gain attention saying,
"Ghani khamma, please be seated."
She showed her confident attitude by sitting on couch laying one leg on another.
My eyes layed on rudraksh who was stoic. He has changed a little bit.
Everyone took their places, no one uttered anything until maasa initiated,
"We welcome you both to our royal palace but I feel sorry about being unaware that you're a relative to martikavati naresh. It's just something surprising."
"No. Not just relative. I'm his choti maa. The blood in his veins doesn't belongs to me but the only woman who is behind this successful king is only me."
I felt determination and obsession in voice of his choti maa, which doesn't seemed right to me.
"The one who raise is always greater than the one who gave birth" maasa smiled.
"How's everything going in martikavati, rudraksh?" Baapusa asked.
Till now, rudraksh didn't made any eye contact with me or uttered anything. I was dying to get his attention and listen to his melodious voice.
"All well. I hope kashikgarh is doing great too" his voice ringed in my head.
"Yeah, since Abhimaan has taken throne kashikgarh is developing" baapusa said patting bhaisa's shoulder slightly.
But my eyes didn't left rudraksh. I smiled and He glanced at me for millisecond.
Sound of claps gain my attention.
His choti maa clapped and one male attendee came with a big plate with a paan on it. She filled her mouth with it and started chewing.
"Martikavati is doing great but a powerful kingdom needs a powerful queen." His choti maa uttered looking at my father with some cunning eyes.
"Let me get straight to the point, although your daughter doesn't seems much powerful but still I want to ask if she will be able to become the queen of martikavati?"
She said her first sentence glaring at me from head to toe then looked at my baapusa.
I thinned my brows. Her proposal was more like my insult.
"You can't underestimate Princess kashi being unaware of her" bhaisa sad in authoritative voice.
"Choti maa, Kashi is strong and beautiful princess. I've seen determination for people of nation in her eyes."
Rudraksh said this to her but she clicked her tongue.
"Being beautiful and strong won't run a kingdom like martikavati alone."
She is absolutely right, but I felt bad because she doesn't know much about me but judging like I'm nothing but an object.
Smell of her paan was filling my nostrils.
" A prostitute is also so beautiful and physically strong but she can never be queen. Ring any bells Vishwambhar nath singh?"
As soon as she spatted those words from her mouth looking straight to my baapusa i heard clanks of sword.
