"Dear father king,

Please help me kill all of the queens..."

......................................................

As per the request made by Tara, they were off towards their destination. The grand queen took care of rani Bela with her and both of them shared a carriage with Tara. Total 8 carriage were used to travel, excluding the luggage.

All of them travelled for a day non stop, during this time Kashi and Tara were having fun with Bela, her cute acts filled their hearts with warmth and happiness, how they wish they could go back to this age, worrying about nothing eating and playing all day, and when you get tired, just sleep. All the tough work can wait till morning, that is eating. Kashi spoke up after a long session of small talks "I always wanted what you have right now, the love of my life, and his kid. I'm not lucky like you, nor I can ever be, but this time truly, from the bottom of my heart, I want that Maharaj sirf tumhare ho Tara (may the king be only yours)" her sad smile was maybe sensed by Bela as she responded her with a scold "bwahh!!" And slapped both of her hands. "Are you not angry that I took what was yours?" Tara had genuine care for her, the betrayal she gave Kashi, the injustice she had to give her in future, the guilt of lying to her ate her up from inside "mine? All those things were supposed to be mine, but they were never claimed as mine was it? Prince Dritarashtra was supposed to ascend the throne, but the court chose prince Pandu as their king due the eldest's vision problem, it was just a play of fate Tara, prince Pandu was not in fault, was he?" He elegance surprised Tara each time she spoke, the beauty in her heart, that pure soul, those tortured yet forgiving eyes truly can turn Tara lose her will and reason to lie and spill out the whole truth then and there, but she can't, its for the best.

"If I try to return your happiness to you, will you allow me?" Her heart ached, not only because of Kashi's pain, but also because of her own pain, she started to love Harshat bit by bit now, but looking at this, she was not supposed to be here to begin with, all this love was originally Kashi's "if as a gift, sure" both of them smiled "eheayy" rani Bela laughed as well.

Now that their emotional part was gone, Tara focused on the reason she asked for this trip "Please stop the carriage!!" Tara requested, and it did. She came out of the chamber, followed by Kashi and Bela in her embrace "What happened?" Kashi asked being worried "I'm not feeling that well, let's take some rest here and I'll be fine" Kashi guided her on a big stone under a tree to sit "ok, take some rest" she sat down beside her "uwahhwe" Bela added.

"Why did you guys stop?" Harshat came down from his horse after settling down the whole troupe "Nothing much, Tara got tired and wanted some fresh air, she'll be fine after some rest" She explained the situation to him "gugueeahhaw" Bela's comment was indeed important.

"Alright then, I will take the other ranis to the temporarily made place for our stay and come back to get you both" He explained as he called for the head soldier "eawahuaq" How dare he not acknowledge her presence? She pinched him near his ankle when Harshat came close to check Tara's health "ouch, you rasc-" He soon zipped his mouth looking at the glare he received from Tara, Kashi and Bela "Ahem" He excused himself and left half of the soldiers for their safety.

It was decided that Kashi, Tara and Bela would rest and wait for them in the tent the soldiers would put on for them and Harshat, along with the other queens and half of the other soldiers would reach their original destination. After settling them in, Harshat would return alone and take the rest two- scratch that, three queens with him.

As according to the plan, Tara and Kashi waited for Harshat to return while playing with Bela. "Maybe we should have asked them to stay with us, the girls never were alone like this" Kashi said as she handed Tara a glass of water " they are not alone, all the gaurds and servants are with them" Tara took the glass and gulped down the water before Bela could spill it all over the temporary made bed and their clothes "yeah, but I meant family members, servants and soldiers can also be dangerous" she took the empty glass back and set it on the table upside-down to let it dry off.

Time passed as they sat there spending time on gossiping about other palace workers and their childhood stories, how Kashi pushed Harshat in pond one time, how Tara brought flowers for her sister and the king and queen of Nazabgar, etc.

Finally Harshat returned on his horse "atlast you're here" Kashi commented , being a bit frustrated, totally not because Bela wanted to eat dirt everytime for some reason "yeah, I've told the soldiers to pack up and follow, two of them will stay behind, get on the carriage, let's get going" He huffed, it was a lot of travel after all, Tara noticed this and offered " leave the horse to be taken care by others, sit in the carriage with us" Kashi also offered "Yes, it was a double journey for you, take a small rest in the carriage while we go, take a proper rest after we reach and settled down" being a bit tired, Harshat agreed "I will take your suggestions" He huffed again. Harshat helped Kashi and Tara to get on the carriage, then got up himself "are you feeling well now?" He reassured before ordering the carriage to move when Tara nodded.

When they reach their, devastation caught their eye, and their eyes lit up from the heat and blaze of fire, of burning something, of burning palace, the came head news "Maharaj, Maharani, the others queens are no more, we tried to save them, but couldn't"

"Good" Harshat and Tara said, as Kashi looked at them feeling horrid and scared.
