The audience erupted in applause, acknowledging the start of a new era under King Neel’s rule.With the formalities concluded, King Niran turned his attention to another significant matter. His voice, steady and authoritative, filled the hall. "Esteemed guests, I am proud to introduce a groundbreaking initiative—The Woman Foundation. This foundation will provide a platform for women across our kingdom to discuss their challenges and receive education in various fields, including weaponry. No caste barriers will hinder their progress. This institution will be led by the princesses and queens of Alynthi, ensuring a transformative impact."The announcement sparked a wave of astonished murmurs among the guests. The concept of such an inclusive and empowering foundation was revolutionary, and the idea of it being led by the Alynthi royalty added to the weight of its significance.

The Hastinapur royal family, present among the distinguished guests, appeared taken aback by the progressive vision of the Alynthi rulers.King Niran continued, his gaze shifting to Aarya, who stood with poise and grace. "Furthermore, should anything unforeseen happen to King Neel," Niran declared, "Aarya will become the Queen of Alynthi."The room fell into stunned silence.

The unexpected declaration left many, including the Hastinapur delegation, in a state of shock. Aarya, maintaining her composure, accepted the news with a calm demeanor. Beside her, Ishana’s lips curved into a subtle, victorious smirk, her eyes gleaming with a sense of accomplishment.

As the echoes of King Niran’s announcement subsided, a new figure stepped forward. Nikunj, the paternal grandfather of Ishana and Priya, approached with a dignified stride. His advanced age and the weight of his years were evident, but his presence commanded respect."King Niran," Nikunj began, his voice resonating with authority, "As I approach the twilight of my years, there is another important announcement I wish to make. Following the legacy of my daughter Avantika, I declare that Ishana and Priya will be the successors to the Valaris Kingdom."The declaration caused an immediate stir among the assembly. The idea of Ishana and Priya ascending to rule the Valaris Kingdom was unexpected and left many in a state of bewilderment.

The scope of their newfound responsibilities was immense, and the weight of the announcement was not lost on anyone present.Ishana, her expression a mix of surprise and determination, turned to her grandfather. "Grandfather," she said earnestly, "You need not make me a successor."Nikunj’s eyes, filled with a mix of pride and affection, met hers. "Ishana, you have always been capable and resilient. The Valaris Kingdom needs a ruler with strength and vision, and you possess both. The mantle of leadership is rightfully yours."
