The night air was heavy with secrets as Dhruv slipped through the shadows. His mission was clear: eliminate the rival kingdom's royal family. But fate had other plans.
That's when he saw her - Shivani, the warrior princess. Her sword gleamed in the...

In Anargha
Adharva's pov
Ah, Mahavardha, my old nemesis. For too long, your kingdom has stood as a thorn in my side, a constant reminder of my own inadequacy. But no more. I have a plan, a plan to crush you once and for all. My son, my loyal and ruthless son, will be the instrument of your destruction. He will marry your precious princess, gain your trust, and then strike when you least expect it. Your kingdom will burn, your people will cower, and I will finally have the revenge I so desperately crave. The thought of it is almost too delicious to bear. Your downfall will be sweet, oh so sweet. And as for my son, he will be rewarded with the throne of Mahavardha, and the power to rule with an iron fist. The era of Anargha's dominance is at hand.
Everyone is sitting in the meeting room.
Announcement: Prince Dhurv is coming.
Dhurv did a namasthe to his parents.
There are only four members in this hall this time, because this meeting was highly King,queen, Anirudh and Dhurv.
Anarghesh: "Dhruv, my son, I have called you here today to discuss a matter of great importance. Our kingdom, Anargha, has long been at odds with our neighboring kingdom, Mahavardha."
Dhruv: "Yes, father. I am aware of our history with Mahavardha. But what does this have to do with me?"
Anarghesh: "Patience, my son. All will be revealed in due time. As you know, Mahavardha has long been a thorn in our side, refusing to bow to our greatness. But I have a plan to change that."
Dhruv: "A plan? What kind of plan, father?"
Anarghesh: "A plan that requires you to disguise yourself as a native of Mahavardha and marry their princess."
Dhruv: "Marry their princess?! Father, I...I don't know if I can do that. Marriage? It's not what I had in mind."
Anarghesh: "Silence, Dhruv! This is not a request, it's an order. You will do as I say, or you will face the consequences. You are my son, and you will obey me."
Dhruv: "Yes, father. I understand. But...but what about my desire to destroy Mahavardha? I've been waiting for this chance for so long."
Anarghesh: "Patience, my son. This is a strategic move. By marrying the princess, you will gain access to their kingdom and be able to gather intelligence. We have a spy in Mahavardha, a man named Raman, who has been waiting for your arrival."
Dhruv: "Raman? I've heard of him. He's been sending us reports for years."
Anarghesh: "The same. Raman will guide you in Mahavardha and help you achieve our goals. He has been instrumental in helping me plan this strategy."
Dhruv: "And what of the princess? What is she like?"
Anarghesh: "The princess is a beautiful and talented young woman, but also naive and weak. She will be no match for your cunning and strength. You will be able to manipulate her easily."
Dhruv: "I understand, father. I will not fail you. I will marry the princess, gather intelligence, and destroy our enemy from within."
Anarghesh: "That's the spirit, Dhruv! I knew I could count on you. You are my most trusted son, and I have no doubt that you will succeed where others have failed."
Dhruv: "Thank you, father. I promise you, I will not rest until Mahavardha is under our control. I will make sure that their princess is treated with the respect and dignity she deserves, but I will also make sure that their kingdom is brought to its knees."
Anarghesh: "Excellent! I knew I could count on your loyalty and cunning. You are truly a worthy successor to the throne. Now go, my son, and may the gods be with you on your mission."
Dhruv: "Thank you, father. I will not disappoint you. I will destroy our enemy and bring glory to our kingdom."
Anarghesh: "I have no doubt that you will, Dhruv. You are my son, and together we will conquer all of our enemies and rule with an iron fist."
Dhruv: "Yes, father. Together we will be unstoppable."
Dhruv's pov
I am a prince of darkness, a warrior of the night. My heart beats with a fierce ambition, my soul driven by a hunger for conquest. I will stop at nothing to achieve my goal: to crush Mahavardha beneath my heel, to destroy its people and its culture. The princess, with her beauty and her grace, is a mere pawn in my game of power. I will use her, exploit her, and discard her when she is no longer useful. I am the instrument of Anargha's wrath, the blade that will cut down all who dare oppose us. My marriage to the princess is a mere pretext, a disguise for my true intentions: to ravage her kingdom, to leave it a smoldering ruin. I am the darkness that will consume them all.
Will Dhruv succeed in his mission to win Shivani's heart?
