Shivansh and Yuhan walked down the hallway, the earlier lightheartedness between them began to fade. Shivansh's expression grew more serious, and Yuhan could sense the weight on his friend's shoulders.

They reached Shivansh's study, a quiet and secluded room in the palace. Shivansh closed the door behind them and motioned for Yuhan to take a seat. Yuhan sat down, leaning back in his chair, while Shivansh walked over to the window, staring out at the vast gardens below.

"Yuhan, "I can't shake this feeling... this constant worry about Kashi and our child. Today's incident was too close. Someone sent a bomb directly into our home. What if I hadn't been there? What if something had happened to her? I can't... I can't even think about it." said Shivansh.

Yuhan leaned forward, understanding the depth of his friend's anxiety. "Shiv, I completely get where you're coming from. You've always been someone who takes on responsibility-whether it's for your family, your business, or even the safety of this palace. But now, you're dealing with something that's out of your control, and that's terrifying." said Yuhan.

Shivansh turned away from the window and faced Yuhan, his eyes reflecting the turmoil within him. "Exactly. It's out of my control, and that's what scares me the most. I'm supposed to protect her, to keep her safe, and yet these threats... they keep coming, and they're getting more dangerous." said Shivansh.

Yuhan nodded thoughtfully, considering his words carefully. "Shiv, you know that you've done everything in your power to protect Kashi. The palace is fortified, security is tight, and you've got people you trust watching over her. But maybe... maybe it's time to consider a different approach." said Yuhan.

Shivansh raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" asked Shivansh. Yuhan leaned in, his voice calm but firm.

"I'm saying that maybe it's time to take Kashi away from here, at least until the baby is born. The threats here are too unpredictable, too constant. If you take her somewhere safe, away from all this chaos, you might find some peace of mind." replied Yuhan.

Shivansh's brow furrowed as he considered Yuhan's suggestion. "You think we should leave India?" asked Shivansh. Yuhan nodded.

"Yes, just for a while. You have the means, Shiv. You could take her anywhere in the world-somewhere far from all this madness. A place where you don't have to look over your shoulder every second, where Kashi can have a safe and stress-free pregnancy. Think about it-she deserves that kind of peace, and so do you." replied Yuhan.

Shivansh sighed, running a hand through his hair. "But leaving... it feels like running away. I've never run from anything, Yuhan. I've always faced my problems head-on." said Shivansh.

Yuhan gave him a sympathetic look. "I know, Shiv. But this isn't about running away. It's about prioritizing Kashi and your child's safety above everything else. You can't protect her if something happens to her here. By taking her away, you're not running-you're making the smartest decision for your family's well-being." said Yuhan.

Shivansh leaned against the edge of his desk, his thoughts racing. "But where would we go? And what about the business? The family? I can't just uproot everything..." said Shivansh. Yuhan shrugged.

"You have the resources to manage the business remotely. Aryan can handle things here on the ground, and your family will understand. They care about Kashi just as much as you do. As for where to go... there are plenty of options. You could go to Europe, maybe Switzerland, or even somewhere more private, like the Lakshadweep. A place where no one can find you, where you can just focus on Kashi and the baby." said Yuhan.
