Uttara
A free swan who chose her cage. A cage of utter love that she would have loved to be bound her entire life. Knowing that swords rested on the tip yet holding onto reins of righteous was no game. Not when your life is at the stake but all that was buried before the daughter of ' Matsya ' Kingdom. The Vasundhara of Aryavarta as every princess was meant to be , taught to be yet the choice made was a one walking into vaccum.
...
Abhimanyu
Walking into few binds can be the best moment of life. Saubhadreya had felt it in the first instant with Uttara. A union that rose above political norms yet stayed threaded to the conchs of the war. He would lay his life down for her but to lay his life down for the kingdom came as a duty. Nestled between duties of Prince and a life partner , the choice wasn't easy. But she had turned it and in return , he was to give a rose of eternal love.
A tale of two hearts , roses burnt in firy dews of duties. But love is the thorn here , protective even after the rose is burnt. It is such a love that rings bells of sting yet leaves one wanting for more.

The above is a short TS.
Thanks and Love ,
