QUEST OF POWER

CHAPTER 15

Flashback:

A man was sitting on his throne discussing something with his friends. During the discussion, they heard the cries of a child who was merely 3-4 years old, the man and the other people heard the cries and frowned because he knew the voice, so he went outside and saw that the child was with his wife. "What happened Prince? Why are you crying?", he asked picking him up and then looked at his wife, "Your son is as stubborn as you, he doesn't want anyone else other than his dadbhaisa", she said and looked at him angrily. He smiled and looked at his son, "Now what can I do that my son loves his father more than his mother", he said and looked at his Prince who was looking at him with his big innocent eyes. "Aww my Prince loves his dadbhaisa a lot right my prince?" he said and then laughed at his adorable son and his wife watched them with a fond smile on her lips.

All the close friends of the man witnessed such a heartwarming scene of their King with their Prince, Yes the man is none other than Amar Singh Rathore and his wife Revati devi Rathore. While playing the man created an illusion of a starry night with his hands for his son, who giggled loudly watching the scenery. The King felt content watching the smile on his Prince's face but who knew that the fate was cruel and would break their family forever.

On one such fateful night, when all his friends were having discussion about the attacks on the tribes and giving their opinions about how to stop them. When suddenly a maid entered, Amar Singh was about to shout on her for her audacity to interrupt such an important meeting, but her sweaty forehead and tear-stricken face worried him, when she suddenly spoke, "Hukum some Durshim attacked on the palace and they also have their shapeshifter army", the servant replied and all of their face turned red into anger and the King furiously got up from his throne, "How dare those Durshim attack on us? Don't they know that they're nothing in front of us", he said and about to walk towards them but one of them replied, "Hukum you are right but now our priority should be the security of the prince and queen". The thought of his family filled the King with regret but he can't let his people go alone to face death, he vowed to protect them forever.

He then went near his younger brother and took his hand in his and with heavy voice spoke, "Rishi bhaisa, I know we will outnumber the Durshims but there are high chances of not surviving-", he was about to continue further but Rishi freed his hands, "How can you say that bhaisa, nothing will happen to you and bhabhisa", he said while crying. "I know but I am also stating a possibility, so if that happens you and Gayatri both take our Prince with you and raise him as your own. I want my Prince to be away from all this mess for as long as possible because I know one dau he have to come and claim this throne and also vanquish all the tribe of these Durshims who only know how to spread evilness and hate", hearing all this Rishi had a deep fear in his heart but he steeled his heart and again grabbed his brother's hand, "Hukum sa I promise, I will protect our Prince with my life, this is a promise of a father to another father, a brother's promise and an uncle's promise to his nephew that he will guard him with his own life", both the brothers were emotional an everyone present there were in tears too.

The King quickly ordered his Men to be ready for a full fledged fight and then went to his chambers, where his heart and heartbeat were sleeping. HE went near both of them and kissed on his son's forehead and lovingly caressed his hairs and cheeks and went to do the same with his wife, when she sensed his presence and woke up. And seeing his tensed face she questioned him about it and then he told about everything that is happening outside. She bent down and kissed her son's cheek and chanted a mantra and caressed his head.

After a while Rishi and Gayatri who was pregnant stood there in the King's chamber, their expression solemn as they watched the parents. "Gayatri, I made Prince unconscious, so he won't get up for next forty-eight hours, so you feed him through your energy and go as far as you can. When the situation is in control we will call you back", Revati spoke with a determined face and hand over the prince to his uncle and aunt with heavy heart. Being a Queen her subjects were her first priority asa she knew her son will be well taken care and is in safest hands possible.
