"Your priority should be safety of our people not the attack. Limit the harm to those who went to battlefield, and ensure the people who are outside not even a single arow could reach out."

Standing in the courtroom ordering my genral to prepare for the fight. Some chiefs are also there. Standing by making semi-circle around me and listening carefully my each and every word.

"But princess what if they attack us ?"

"The war is obviously happening because one of us have to attack first...but ensure that will not be us."

I stated in harsh tone. I because more rude than before. My each word is ready to pierce the other one and honestly this is not effecting me anymore. I am feeling like i have became heartless.....no emotions, no feelings just a brain loaded with anger and eyes fire loaded with fire.

"Princess, we need to prepare for more, we can't win this war in any circumstances."

An old genral spoke....

"I just want to stop them till i found the root of this misunderstanding."

I stated with chin up. My eyes are screaming...how much anger and pain lies inside me.

"Brother, it's clear to me that our kingdom will never win this battle. Because your daughter only knows to fight like a coward. I've been saying this all along. Fighting war isn't something women can handle."

My gaze turn towards the voice came and it's my aunt coming with my father.

I greet my teeth and make a fist on my skirt to control the agression.

"So you're saying that the Goddess Bhawani protects us isn't a women like us ?"

I asked her with knitted eyebrows.

She rolled her eyes. But i keep looking at her with straight face for some moments until it make her uncomfortable.

"Prepare for the best ! "

I order my chiefs and came outside.

Sitting on the top of stairs of the palace, feeling the wind, hair strands tickling me and eyes fallin on the grounds thinking that how could this misunderstanding happend between us which is leading to this war.

I closed my eyes and unknowingly his name come from my mouth.

"Rana sa...."

I gulped and his face come in front of my closed eyes. I kept imagining him. His sides, his bubbly cheeks when he smiles and hus teary red eyes. Every memory of us start roaming my here and there.

Suddenly a hand came and rest on my shoulder i got shocked, grabbed it and turn my gaze to it. And my lips says...

"Rana sa"

For a moment i thought it is him. But then Kusum's face came in front of my sight and my smilling lips turn into sadness again.

"Ragini it's me"

"Yeah....i know...say what happend"

I ask her in slow tone.

"Nothing...why are you sitting here ?"

"I'm no longer a queen...The princess has fulfilled her duties and returned. Now i'm just a wife, longing for my husband."

I said.
