The night hung heavy over the palace, its towering form casting long, dark shadows over the courtyard. A figure emerged from the shadows, his tall, cloaked figure blending seamlessly into the darkness. His voice was sharp, tinged with impatience and a quiet urgency.
“What took you so long?” he asked, his tone low but edged with frustration.
The lady stepped forward, emerging from the dimness. Her posture was tense, her eyes burning with determination. She cast a sharp glance at the man, her voice filled with irritation.
“Shut your mouth,” she snapped, her words laced with annoyance. “Don’t shout, or anyone will hear us. If they do, everything we’ve worked for will go to waste.”
The man fell silent, nodding in understanding. His gaze lingered on her, filled with concern. He spoke more quietly now, his voice softer but still filled with worry.
“Okay, okay. But tell me, what’s the status inside? How’s the plan coming along?”
She paused for a moment, her eyes momentarily drifting toward the distant palace. She exhaled deeply, composing herself before speaking again, her voice steady but tinged with an underlying unease.
“It’s going smoothly. Everything is falling into place,” she replied, but there was an unmistakable edge of worry in her tone. “But… there’s a problem.”
The man’s brow furrowed with concern. “What problem?”
She looked around, ensuring no one was within earshot, her gaze scanning the darkened courtyard. Then, her eyes returned to him, her voice dropping to a whisper, as though the very air itself might betray them.
“We need to finish this quickly,” she said, her voice heavy with urgency. “Viraj is growing more suspicious. He’s heard rumors about a traitor in the palace, and he’s getting more relentless in his search for answers. If he finds out—if he discovers the truth—it’s over. We’ll be finished.”
The man’s face darkened, a knot of worry tightening in his chest. “But will she agree? Will she help us?”
Her lips pressed into a thin line as she considered the question. She knew what was at stake. She had always known. She turned to him, her eyes meeting his with a cold, unwavering resolve.
“She will,” she said firmly. “I know her.She is innocencent, compassionate, loyal, and too trusting. She’ll give me what I need without question. She'll not hesitate to sign it But everything has to be perfect. Every detail must be meticulously planned. If we leave any room for error, it could all fall apart.”
The man hesitated, clearly uneasy. “And what if she finds out? What then?”
She took a deep breath, steadying herself. The weight of the decision pressed down on her, but she stood firm, her eyes hardening with the certainty of someone who had made up their mind.
“If she finds out, we’ll deal with it. She will be sent to god then,” she said, her voice steady and unyielding. “We have no choice. It has to be done.”
The man took a step closer, his voice dropping in volume. “But… you love her a lot and you treat her like your own daughter and even a scratch on her maked you worried then are you really prepared to go through with this?”
Her expression softened for a moment, a fleeting glimpse of the emotional turmoil she had buried deep within herself. But she quickly pushed it aside, her focus returning to the task at hand. Her voice was quiet but resolute.
“I love her, yes,” she said, her gaze unwavering. “Some months cannot weight over years I have spent in here just for this moment and to finish what I started ling ago. I’ve waited too long for this. I can’t let anything—anyone—stand in the way of that. Not now. Not when we’re so close.”
The man nodded slowly, his face clouded with understanding and concern. “I know everything,and yes we'll watch our victory over them and over what happened to you but this will be tough and we need to be prepare for that, for everything that happen. ” he whispered, his voice low but filled with a strange sense of respect.
She nodded and said " I will not let anyone come between me and my plan and this time, it is about my son's future. Neither any power not any person can stop me now except him, he will come and will be permanently gone from this earth and will leave all his power behind for my Abhishek.... "
The man nodded in reponse and a smile crept on his face but then his smile turned into something evil, evil smirk when he hugged the lady and gave a mischievous smirk.
Somethings wrong...
Without another word, she turned, her steps purposeful, her mind focused on the task ahead. She walked toward the palace, the weight of the plan pressing down on her shoulders. She knew there was no turning back now. She had made her choice.
The man watched her for a moment longer, his expression unreadable. Then, with a swift motion, he melted back into the shadows, vanishing without a trace.
The lady continued forward, her silhouette fading into the darkness as she entered the palace, her heart set on the path she had chosen. The storm was coming, and there was no turning back now.
