Devraj Varma, a billionaire CEO, is deeply rooted in a royal lineage steeped in ancient traditions. Each decade, he faithfully returns to his ancestral village, Shiva Ganga, to perform a sacred puja. During this year's ritual, destiny takes a surpri...
As Devraj and Anita stepped out of the temple, the weight of the conversation still lingered in the air. A newfound understanding had blossomed between them, a bond strengthened by shared experiences.
Devraj stopped Anika, his eyes filled with concern. "Let me make a call. Wait here," he said, his voice low.

Anika nodded, understanding the seriousness in his tone. He stepped aside, his phone pressed to his ear. A few moments later, he rejoined Anika.
Devraj returned to Anika and Anita, his face reflecting a sense of reassurance. "We should get going," he said, his voice steady.
Anika nodded, her eyes filled with concern. As they were about to leave, Devraj stopped, his arms opening wide. Anika, after a quick glance at her surroundings, stepped into his embrace. She hugged him tightly, her voice filled with concern, "Please don't take too much stress. It's not good for your health."
Devraj hugged her back, his grip firm yet gentle. "I won't," he promised, his voice filled with love and reassurance.
With one last glance at Anita, who stood a few steps away, watching them with a mix of emotions, Devraj and Anika left, the guards ensuring their safe passage.
"I've sent two guards to follow us from a distance," he explained. "They'll make sure you both reach home safely without attracting any attention."
Anika looked at him, a mix of gratitude and concern in her eyes. "Are you sure that's necessary?" she asked.
Devraj nodded. "It's just a precaution," he replied, his voice firm. "I want to make sure you reach home safely."
Anika understood his concern. She knew that the world they lived in was not always safe. With a sense of reassurance, she nodded.
The following seven days were a whirlwind for Devraj. The impending coronation cast a long shadow over everything. He immersed himself in the labyrinthine corridors of governance, analyzing every aspect of the kingdom's functioning. From agriculture to education, from infrastructure to defense, he left no stone unturned.
Online platforms became his constant companion. He delved into data, studying patterns, identifying bottlenecks, and envisioning solutions. Every hour was accounted for, every minute precious.
Anjana Devi, his chief advisor, became his most trusted ally with her 10 team structure. Together, they spent countless hours poring over reports, discussing strategies, and debating potential outcomes.
"We need to decentralize decision-making," Anjana suggested one evening, her voice filled with conviction. "Empowering local bodies will not only expedite development but also foster a sense of ownership among the people."
Devraj nodded in agreement. "It's a bold move, but it's necessary," he replied. "We need to trust the people to govern themselves."
Another day, as they were discussing the alarming rate of deforestation, Anjana proposed a public-private partnership for afforestation. "We can incentivize farmers to plant trees," she explained, "by offering them tax benefits and subsidies."
Devraj was impressed by her innovative thinking. "It's a win-win situation," he said. "We protect the environment and empower the rural economy."
These were just a few examples of the countless discussions and decisions that filled their days. The weight of the kingdom rested on their shoulders, but they were determined to leave a lasting legacy.
