Guys, I sincerely apologize for my irregular updates.. Our story goes serious and intense from now on..so stay tuned...

Guruji, the commander and me sat in a room. I asked the commander "sir, Magadh is a very far country from here. Why are you searching for her here? what is going on? Where is my sister? How can she go missing? "

"Your highness, To be frank, Magadh is a chaos at present. king vijayendra varma is in deep grief and not taking care of the kingdom in recent days. The powerful men in magadh turned into vultures waiting for their chance to take over the kingdom. The army is scattered in all parts of the country searching for the princess. The queen was suffering from a severe fever, the infection in her body grew worst as the princess went missing and she passed away two weeks ago. The king is still mourning her death. Some say he stays at her grave all the time crying. The position is getting worse in the kingdom day by day. "

" What? The queen is dead!!! " I gasped guarding my mouth with my hand. " oh, god... I.. Uh.. How did it all happened? "

" As I have already said, the queen was suffering from a severe fever and doctors were trying very hard for a long time to cure her. With the princess disappearance, she succumbed to death eventually. May her soul rest in peace. "

I closed my eyes holding my hands together, Even though I resented her all my life, I hoped her soul rest in peace.

I was trying to stay calm and stand steady taking in all the bad news that hit me " Aadya.. Where is aadya? How did she go missing? When and where exactly it happened? I need to know everything."

"The thing is princess, actually, nobody exactly knows what happened. She went missing, first they thought she went searching special herbs to cure her mother, the royal family and minister's council kept this a secret to avoid rumors. When matters went out of their hand, they told the army chief, you know, the PANDYAS , they went each direction with troops just like ours looking for the princess.

No one is ruling the kingdom at present , the laws and rules they all are haphazard. The rich are prying on the poor using their political powers. Our kingdom lacks stability with the absent king. Prince Harsha is still ten years old kid. The only reason the kingdom is still in a single piece is because of the PANDYAS, they are really trying but they are army generals and we all know they are not good at governance and politics but they are trying really hard. The great Magadh is falling and eveyone is acting like a wolf trying to get a piece of it for themselves" he said showing his concern about the falling kingdom.

"Princess aadya is a very caring and sensitive girl, she wouldn't do anything this irresponsible. I AM ASKING YOU AGAIN How did this happened?"

"That is the sad part, princess. Nobody knows the story behind all this. Everybody is so busy in searching. Nobody is paying attention to the interrogation. It is all unsupervised army troops running in all directions leaving the kingdom unguarded." he said with a serious tone.

"what about my father? Didn't he offer any help?" I asked him.

"He said he would send you as soon as they could track your location. He sent some troops to search for the princess."

"I will write him a letter that I am going to magadh from here. I want one of your soldier to deliver it for me." he nodded "whatever you say, princess. We are happy to have you on board."

"No, no, I am not coming with you, sir. I will ride there alone, the troop will slow me down. I want to reach magadh as soon as possible." I said firmly packing my things.

"what are you doing princess?" gurudev asked after patiently listening to the whole conversation without interrupting.

"you heard the man, sir. I have to be there. I shouldn't be here. I should be there helping my family." my voice was breaking but I tried to keep it together.
