"is this for real?" Ivaan wondered. She looks like she belongs in a painting, not in the middle of a forest. His mind was definitely playing tricks with him.

Back at the camp, Ivaan approached the tribal head's son and the hunting expert again, his mind still reeling from the encounter.

"I saw someone in the forest," he said, his voice tinged with disbelief. "A woman on a horse, dressed in a white saree. She looked like... Princess."

The tribal head raised an eyebrow. "A woman in the forest? That's unusual. Are you sure it wasn't a trick of the light?"

Ivaan shook his head. "No, it was real. I saw her clearly. It was Princess Indu. I mean the Princess of Rana"

The hunting expert looked skeptical. "The princess of Rana? Here? That seems unlikely.If a princess of such big country were to go through the forest route there would be atleast 2 to 3 dozen of her accomplanes with her"

"must be! This girl was alone" Ivaan insisted. "But She was there."

The tribal head's son stroked his head head thoughtfully. "A princess is in the forest?"

Indu's horse, a magnificent white beast, galloped through the dense forest with an unmatched fervor. The wind whipped through her hair as she navigated the narrow, winding paths with ease. The forest was alive with the sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves, but Indu was focused solely on the thrill of the ride. She felt a sense of freedom and exhilaration that she rarely experienced within the confines of the palace.

As she emerged from the forest, the first rays of dawn began to break through the horizon, casting a golden glow over the landscape. Indu reined in her horse and waited patiently, knowing that her companions would soon catch up. She took a deep breath, savoring the fresh morning air, and smiled to herself.

A few minutes later, the retired Defence Minister, Rajnath appeared, followed closely by Indu's loyal maid, Sneha, and a handful of soldiers. Sneha's face was a mix of relief and exasperation as she dismounted her horse and approached Indu.

"Indu, what were you thinking?" Sneha scolded, her voice stern but laced with concern. "Rushing ahead alone like that! Do you have any idea how dangerous it is?" The defence minister added.

Indu grinned, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Oh, come on, you two, I had everything under control. Besides, it was exhilarating!"

Sneha shook her head, trying to suppress a smile. "You and your wild ideas. One day, you're going to give me a heart Minister I official I'm on your side from now on!"

Meera another maid, who had just caught up, chimed in with a playful tone. "Indu, you really need to stop giving us all a scare. Poor Sneha here was about to organize a search party!"

Indu laughed, her laughter echoing through the clearing. "A search party? For me? I think you all underestimate my skills."

Defence minister crossed his arms, trying to maintain his stern demeanor. "Skills or not, you need to be more careful. What if something had happened to you? and Sneha glad you share my concerns now!"

Indu's expression softened, and she placed a hand on Sneha's shoulder. "I know, Sneha. I'm sorry for worrying you. But sometimes, a little adventure is worth the risk."
