In the days that followed, Veer and Kashi found themselves drawn together more frequently. Veer continued his investigation at the factory, slowly uncovering the layers of corruption and deceit that had taken root. Kashi, unaware of his true identity and mission, provided invaluable support with her insights and observations.

Their conversations grew deeper, their moments together filled with a quiet intimacy that spoke volumes. Veer admired Kashi's resilience and courage, while Kashi found herself drawn to Veer's kindness and strength. Though they kept their growing feelings to themselves, the connection between them was undeniable.

One evening, as they walked through the market, Veer noticed Kashi's eyes lingering on a small Bracelet in a vendor's stall. It was a delicate silver bracelet, adorned with tiny charms that sparkled in the fading light.

"Tumhe yeh bracelet pasand hai? (Do you like this Bracelet?)" Veer asked, noting the way her eyes lit up seeing the bracelet.

Kashi nodded shyly. "Haan, bohot sundar hai." ( Yes, it's very Beautiful!)

Veer smiled, his heart warming at her simple joy. He bought the bracelet, surprising Kashi with his gesture. "Yeh lo abse yeh tumhare hua , Kashi." (Take this from now on, it's yours, Kashi)

Kashi's eyes widened in surprise, her cheeks flushing with gratitude. "Veer ji, iski kya zaroorat thi...." ( Veer ji, what was the need for it.....)

"Yeh mere liye zaroori tha, (This was important for me)" Veer interrupted gently. "Tumhe muskurata dhek mujhe khushi milti hai" (Seeing you smile, gives me immense happiness), making her blush.

Kashi accepted the bracelet, her fingers brushing against his as she took it. "Shukriya, Veer ji (Thank you so much Veer ji) . Main isse hamesha sambhal kar rakhungi. (I will always keep it safe with me)"

The bracelet on Kashi's wrist sparkled in the twilight, a symbol of the bond that was forming between them.

As they made their way back, Kashi asked him a question that had been on her mind. "Veer ji, aap Jhansi mein kis kaam se aaye hain? Apka ghar kaha hai?" (Veer ji, for what work are you here in Jhansi? And where are you from?)

Veer hesitated for a moment, then spun a plausible story. "Main yahan kuch kaam se aaya hoon". (I'm here for some important work Kashi)

Kaisa kaam? ( What type of work) Kashi asked making a cute confused face.

Vishwanath hesitated for a moment, careful not to reveal too much about his true identity. "Vishwanath wanted to form a genuine connection with Kashi without the weight of his royal title influencing her perception of him. He valued the honest and pure interactions they shared and feared that revealing his true identity too soon might disrupt the trust and comfort they were building.Though he felt a little bad while hiding it from her.

"Main ek private investigator hoon. Mere company ne mujhe yahan bheja hai factory mein ho rahi kuch fraudulent activities ko investigate karne ke liye

(I'm a private investigator, my company has sent me here to investigate some fraudulent activities that have been occurring here in the factory recently.)

aur apka dusra sawal ki mein kaha se hu? Toh "Mein aur mera parivaar Bundelkhand se hai". Meri family mein maa-papa aur do chote bhai hain.

(And your second question that where I'm from , so me and my family are from Bundelkhand. And my family consists of my Maa-Papa and two younger brothers.)"he partially lied about his job and family status, maintaining his cover.
