~Kashi's POV~

"You talk a lot butterfly"

I closed my eyes and this sentence of his lingered in mind. This was the last statement he uttered before we slept peacefully.

Small chats and laughter echoed in wardrobe as my friends and few attendees were with me helping me getting ready.

Sheela was drying my hairs with ash pot. One was applying the Alta, one tied anklets, another one slid bangles in my hand while I was just sitting closing my eyes because few suspicious thoughts roamed in my mind.

They got done with me which  broke my thoughts and i opened my eyes. Took a look of my face and sighed while applying bindi and vermilion on, after adjusting my mangtika. I realised someone was missing,

" Where is gauri?" I asked as I didn't see her since morning.

She didn't came in bathing area to help me neither came here to braid my hairs. Usually she is the one who do these not sheela.

"We don't Know. I last saw her last night on our quarter" sheela spoke and others agreed.

I thinned my brows as she has never shows her absence out of sudden.

"We can look for her for you, your highness" one of them said but I signalled her not to.

I stood from chair and took veil till forehead,

"Let her be"

They nodded. I should give her some privacy. Serving her queen is her duty which i respect but I shouldn't snatch her private space.

I went to temple and did worship of thakur ji then went to library where I visited yesterday.  There was no one in library as the royal court was held today.

The attendees who were with me I asked them to remain at entrance only. I went to rudraksh's study room where I saw few instresting stuff yesterday. I opened the big almirah which has lot of old books and scrolls. All almirahs was filled with important documents and all.

I sighed and picked that one scroll and sat on couch. Gathering myself together I open the string of scroll and started reading it again. I read in mind the each details carefully. With passing every line my heart beat raced. My eyes moved right to left reading it fastly as if there will be no chance to read it again. As if I'll die if someone would see me.

I finished reading that scroll, feeding my mind with its data and looked straight with breathing heavily. I went to almirah to put that back, my hands started to find another scroll named with 'kashikgarh'. I looked at door time to time and kept my sense all awake if gaurds gives annoucement if rudraksh arrival.

I couldn't find scroll or book named with kashikgarh so I moved to nearby trunk. After opening it, my eyes went wide and heart beat raced.

The trunk was filled with scrolls, books named with kashikgarh. I took deep breath to control my shaking hand I picked that one red coloured book which seemed so familiar.

Flashback

Yesterday, my friends and attendees took me to library which is my most favourite part of palaces. So, i got welcomed here with officials working and straightly I went to Aksh's study room. My eyes roamed around his room which awed me. The room was so aesthetic that I wanted to spend my whole life here with books. I smiled wide and sat on his chair felt the king's aura on it. The table which was infront of me with lot of important papers, ink pot, and others writing stuffs. There were so much important documents of martikavati's polices, trade, taxes, improvement and all that my mind started feeling stress.
