The Stolen Princess- Royal Love 2

Chapter-9

Veer

''Veer, he looks like you.'' As I recalled Mom's words, I felt my body burning in rage. I wasn't even aware of she is being pregnant and then she sends the baby back. I can't believe he is mine, even if he is I can't come to love him. For him, she left me. To get him the wealth of her father, and now she sends him back so he can have my share too. Not happening, she and her baby will pay the price in worst possible way. For now, I must concentrate on bringing her back.

''How come she bled so much?'' Bhai's question broke the chain of my thoughts. Sitara stared out of the car window. ''A day before, her father manhandled her. He pushed her around, for sabotaging his business and his reputation. The same night, we decided to flee because we had all proofs and knew he would be arrested anytime soon, but her contractions started just then.''

I shut my eyes at her words. I could visuailize her being big with baby and being pushed around by her vile father. I cannot comprehend the pain she would have endured that moment, ''How much more time.'' I asked, I was getting impatient with the wait. I watched as Sitara asked the driver to divert. ''Why there? ''

''it's a shortcut, I know a way into the Palace. It leads to Princess' grandmother's room. None in the place are aware of it. I was being informed about it by an old Royal guard, he must be waiting there for us.'' She replied.

I watched as she started fixing her ornaments or rather her weapons, jewellery is not Sitara's thing. Even her anklet has the ways to puncture the enemy. At a distance we saw an old model of a car and a bearded man standing besides it. Sitara asked the vehicle to be pulled over and quickly got down, she exchanged few words and came back. ''Hukum, you will have to take this vehicle. No one will doubt. I will lead the others. You should reach before me.''

Bhai nodded, and I followed him quietly. Through small lanes we were being driven and then the vehicle halted which looked like a small cottage in out skirts. The man unlocked it gesturing us to move in. Once inside, he quickly fastened the door and switched on the torch, he gestured us to move and we did. The small low corridor led us to a small door, ''Hukum, you can go in and this will lead you to Queen mother's library. You will find 2-3 young boys. ''

''Will we find her there?'' I couldn't help but ask.

''No, they have locked her in the dungeon. Doctors are treating her there.'' The man answered.

''Aren't you coming?'' Bhai asked, he is not the man to trust any random guy. The old man lifted his eyes up, ''No, I will go from the front. I want to show that vile man on whose side my loyalty lies, and you too need a distraction.''

Bhai nodded, and the man turned to leave. Then he looked at me, ''She fought for you, don't let her down.''

I said nothing. Seems, she has painted a beautiful picture. But I will never forget that she did this all wealth, and now has send her offspring to claim mine giving him my name. Well, I will make her spit the truth. For now, I must find her and take her back. Walking we reached the dead end and bhai touched the wall trying to find some clue, ''Bhai there.'' I pointed towards the corner from where a small beam of light flashed in the dark corridor. We moved and realised it was the rotating shelf. Without making much of the sound we entered to be attacked by young boy , but the moment he saw bhai he stepped back, ''We were waiting for you.'' We were hell confused who were these boys who didn't sound like a boys a bit. The two of them smiled at each other and said, ''We were send here by Ananya Hukum.'' I could see shock flash across bhai face and then his expression turned grim, ''You are not even boys. Stay in this room till I get back here to get you.''

''Hukum, we kept Princess safe till date. We are capable enough.'' The girl seemed offended. I held bhai's shoulder, asking him to give up. ''Where to?''
