As the dust settled, Shivansh gently released Kashi, though his protective arm remained around her shoulders. The tension in the air was still palpable, but knowing that she was safe brought him a momentary sense of relief.

Just then, the sound of the main doors creaking open filled the hall. Dada Hukum, Akshita, Bhairav, Anita, and Naina entered the palace, their faces a mix of confusion and worry. The gruesome scene of the lifeless attackers strewn across the floor and the blood stains marred the once pristine hall.

Dada Hukum's eyes narrowed as he took in the sight, his voice steady but carrying the weight of authority. "What in the world happened here?" he demanded, his gaze shifting to Shivansh.

Before Shivansh could respond, Jai stepped forward, his tone respectful yet urgent. " Dada Hukum, some men came here with the intent to kidnap Hukum Rani Sa, they didn't anticipate the ferocity of Hunter. He killed them, ensuring Hukum Rani Sa's safety."  Jai explained, his eyes flicking to the bodies on the floor.

Dada Hukum's eyes softened as he looked at Kashi, standing bravely beside Shivansh, her hand still resting on Hunter's fur. "Thank God you're safe, Bitiya." he said, his voice laced with relief.

Akshita and Anita rushed forward, their eyes filled with concern. Akshita cupped Kashi's face, searching for any sign of injury. "Are you hurt, Kashi? Did they harm you?" she asked anxiously.

"No, Maa Sa, I'm fine." Kashi reassured her, though her voice still trembled slightly from the adrenaline coursing through her veins. "Hunter protected me." said Kashi.

Anita placed a comforting hand on Kashi's shoulder. "We should never have left you alone." she said, guilt threading through her voice.

"It's not your fault, Bua ji. No one could have predicted this." Kashi replied, offering a small, reassuring smile despite the lingering fear.

Bhairav, who had remained silent, observing the scene with a critical eye, finally spoke. "Shivansh, we need to strengthen the security around the palace. If they dared to attack here, they might try again." said Bhairav.

Shivansh nodded, his expression grim. "I've already given orders to secure the palace. We won't let our guard down." said Shivansh.

Naina, who had been standing quietly, stepped forward, her eyes wide as she took in the carnage. "Who would do something like this?" she asked, her voice shaking.

Shivansh's eyes darkened, a storm brewing within them. "Arjun Sherawat," he replied, his voice like steel. Everyone was very shocked to hear what Shivansh said. " This Arjun, I swear that I will kill him." said Yuhan.

A few days later, today was a very special day not just for Shivansh's family but also for the people of Rajasthan. Today was the day when officially Kashi will meet her people.

In her room, right now she was deciding on what she should wear. Because she has to look the best in front of her people.

When Shivansh came inside and was shocked to see his room turned into a shopping mall. " Kashi, what have you done to my room?" asked Shivansh. Kashi turned towards him. " Hukum sa, I am not able to think of what to wear." said Kashi.

" But why are you so worried?" asked Shivansh while sitting down. She looked at him. " Hukum sa, I want to look my best in front of my people. So that's why." said Kashi. Anita who was passing by the room, heard this and then came inside.

" Kashi." she said. Shivansh and Kashi looked at her. " Bua ji. Come." said Kashi with a smile on her face. Anita sat down on the sofa while looking at Kashi. " Kashi, I must tell you one thing that our people love us the way we are. So don't be stress that your people wouldn't like you." said Anita.
