HOUSE OF LIES

2

the funeral had just ended, and the guests were starting to leave. That's when the advisor and loyal servant of the late king approached the grieving family. "I am here to express my sorrow for Rana Sa's passing, but the affairs of the kingdom cannot wait. The kingdom is in chaos," the advisor said solemnly.

"Please, come with us to a more private space," Advit replied, trying to keep his composure.

The family members began walking towards their private hall, the weight of the moment heavy on their hearts. Once they had all settled down, the advisor, Akhil Ranawat, spoke again.

"We can only proceed with the crowning ceremony after 13 days, starting tomorrow," Akhil said, his voice steady but filled with importance.

Asha, desperate and anxious, asked, "lekin suragarh ka agla Raja kon h ?"

Akhil shook his head. "I cannot reveal that now. According to Rana Sa's wishes but Raja vahi banega jise suragarg ki praja chunegi."

The family dispersed quietly, each going to their own chambers, burdened by uncertainty.

In Abhimanyu's Room:

Asha was pacing, her heart filled with ambition. "Abhimanyu, I have raised you to be the king , dont be a fool !"

But Abhimanyu, worn out from the conflict, replied softly, "Maa Sa, we've already got a lot from this family , vo Rajveer bhai sa ki h ."

Asha's frustration grew. "You foolish child! You have no idea how much I've sacrificed, how many years I've given up so that you can sit on that throne!"

"Maa Sa, please leave me alone. I don't want to talk right now," Abhimanyu said, closing his eyes as he lay down, trying to escape the pressure.

In Advit's Room:

Advit sat, plotting in silence. "I want to know everything Rajveer Bhai Sa is doing," he commanded his loyal servant.

"Ji, Kunwar Sa," the servant replied, leaving the room quickly.

Advit clenched his fists. "I won't let you win this time, Bhai Sa. I will be the king," he whispered to himself, determination burning in his eyes.

In Rajveer's Room:

Rajveer stood calmly, his mind sharp. "Ishu, the game has begun," he said.

Ishana looked at her brother with hope. "Bhai Sa, I wish you will be the king."

Rajveer gave her a determined smile. "I will make your wish come true."

Suddenly, Ishana hesitated. "Bhai Sa, there's a small issue... My friend is coming to Suryagarh tomorrow. It's her first time here, and I want to make sure a room is ready for her."

Rajveer raised an eyebrow. "Which friend?"

"It's Nandini. You remember? We visited her house when we were kids. Baba Sa and her father were close friends. Her family can't make it, so she's coming on their behalf to mourn."

Rajveer's expression shifted, and he nodded. "Of course. We'll make arrangements."

After that, he left the room and made his way to the terrace. Standing in the cold night air, Rajveer closed his eyes, letting the breeze touch his skin.

"The wait is over, Nandini," he whispered with a smirk. "Now, you will be mine."
