"Silence!! Rani Kashi will be held captive in prison for now. After a thorough investigation, if she's found guilty, she will be executed in public. Gaurds, take her away, the court is dismissed!".

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

After the court was dismissed, everyone went on their ways, Vaishali and Rudraveena returned to their rooms, ministers and other court members returned to their day to day activities, Andrew was given a separate room to rest, while Nayna stayed in Tara's room.

Tara went to have a talk about this situation with Harshat, what was his next plan? Was he really going to punish Kashi? Her intuition was saying no but then again, it's his own father, he may get emotional and seek revenge for him. Upon reaching the office chamber where Harshat was, she went inside without any knocking, it was rude, but the need for this conversation was too urgent, Harshat was meddling with some papers on his desk, when he saw Tara he kept them aside and asked her to take a seat opposite to him, specifically mention to close the door. Tara sat down as she spoke " there is so much I need to say" she kept eye contact, trying to prove her eagerness " firstly, I'm sorry for accusing you of my parent's murder, when I saw them die and can't do anything I lost my sense to think straight, I believed whatever the assassin said without questioning it, I'm ashamed" she looked down, waiting for forgiveness "honestly, I would have done the same" He scoffed, which means he forgave her, but it also meant that he is seeking revenge from Kashi "but-" He started with a pause "He never treated me as a son, I was just a mere tool to become a good heir for this kingdom in future, when none of his two queens got pregnant, he used a dasi (female servant) to produce a heir, which was me. The world doesn't know that, and to make sure no one knows, he killed my birth mother After 5 years of my birth because she threatened to tell the truth to the world" He held Tara's hands "that's why, I don't feel sad or angry that Kashi, or someone killed him, I'm quite releived, the only thing I need to do right now is take off this accusation from Kashi so that she can live peacefully" Tara knew that too, but the thing is even if they did save Kashi, she would still never be happy, she would still be the 1st wife of Maharaj Harshat, who never got her love.

"I'll get going" Tara got up so that Harshat can continue with his paper work. Before returning to her room, she visited Kashi "rani Kashi?" She called out softly as if her loud voice would break her. There stood Kashi in the simplest outfit she was ever provided "you are doing this intentionally right? Why would you say that you killed the father king?" Tara had tears in her eyes as she held the iron bars and demanded for an answer "trust me, this is my happiness, I'm a coward Tara, I never stood up for the girls, that guilt is killing me, that's why I killed him and I'm ready to take death penalty too" she held the bar, keeping her hands over Tara's "Don't talk nonsense! Me and Harshat will find a way to save you, so you just wait for us!" She shouted and left.

On the other hand, a shadow lurked around in dark. After Tara left, it came into light revealing Nayna "rani Kashi, what is the meaning of this?" She held a letter in her hand, the same letter Kashi sent her before entering the jail "it clearly says you're trying to do all this intentionally! Don't you see the love of others for you?!" She shouted as she furrowed her eyebrows "I can see, that's why I'm doing this. Tara loves Harshat and Harshat also loves her dearly, but Tara would never accept his love in guilt that she's breaking my heart, and even if she does accept him, I'm not strong enough to console my heart. I cannot take the heartbreak" she explained "I'm telling all this to didi" Nayna said in a stern voice, as she was leaving, Kashi stopped her "do you want your sister to live a life where she can never go near her love just out of guilt?" Nayna looked at her, shocked "no..." Kashi smiled "then don't say anything" Nayna hesitantly nodded "but, why are you giving up your life?" Kashi laughed at her question "Maine unhe apni puri zindagi de di, to jaan dene me kaisi jhijak" (I gave up my whole life to him, It doesn't matter if I get killed now).

Defeated, Nayna returned to her room. Finally the day came when Kashi was going to get killed. Because there was no evidence of her innocence, she was ordered to be beheaded in public.

Harshat and Tara arranged a path for Kashi to runaway to save her from the punishment, but when they went their to help her runaway, she was found dead due to heart attack.

From that day, everyone in the royal family missed Kashi, remembered her. Tara and Harshat healed with time , so did their love. Andrew left his job as mafia and assisted Nayana as the queen of Nazabgar.

Everything went on in it's own pace, because whatever may happen, life goes on.
