Life was not very difficult for Lingeshwar . He grew up having tight security, so that no one would harm him.
He always had what he wanted. No one would deny him. Emperor Suryamurthy always ensured that his sons got what they wanted.
Years rolled on,
"Maa! Hari is not giving me the toy!" Haridhar complained as he tried to snatch away the horse from his four year old cousin, Pranav
"Badima ! (Aunt), it's my turn to play !" Pranav whined as Hari tried snatching the toy from his hands
"Pranav! Give it to Hari!" Nandita told her son who refused to share the game with him
"It's alright! Hari! Come back here ! I'll give you a real horse" Chandni said as she watched the expression in her son's face change immediately.
"Really?" He asked with shiny , big , captivating eyes
"Yes , when you grow up, I'll surely get you one" Chandni laughed at her son's innocence
"But what about me?" Pranav asked with the cutest pout a child could ever make.
"You will also get one when you grow up" Chandni knelt down their level and continued,
"Both of you will ride on a real horse. Your own horse, but only on one condition" Chandni admitted thoughtfully
"What?" The cousin-brothers asked curiously
"You should not fight over toys" Nandita said grabbing the attention of the inquisitive children
"Okay!" Hari beamed with pleasure and so did Pranav.
The sound of anklets indicated that she had come. Everyone looked at the door of the chamber expecting her arrival. As they looked on, the toddler appeared holding her eldest cousin's hands with her tiny fingers. As soon as she saw her mother, she ran towards her tripping down.
"Oh!" Lingeshwar said and went to help her out
"Let her get up on her own, Linga!" Nandita said as she watched her daughter trying to get up
"But won't she get hurt?" The five year old kid asked with a worried expression in his face
Chandni looked into her son's charcoal black eyes, which showed pure concern for his little cousin. His round cheeks had a crimson tinge which made him cuter. Innocence overflowing his face, he was oblivious of the enemies he had.
"Being The Crown Prince is not an easy task. I hope this decision does not create differences between the brothers" she thought.
She knew what to do. The Throne Did Not Matter, The Deeds Did.

"I know, but isn't it too early? They are just children!" Suryamurthy wondered, not having the heart to stay away from the children.
