Hi

Recap: Chakoriya got the sword from the king, Surya took Babu and Chakoriya to the old man.

Baba was looking at Surya, "Prince you got him here, why?"

Surya bend down, "because I'm not stupid." He said giving him an intense gaze, "tell me, who is he?"

The old man hold the little boy tightly, as if it's a matter of death and life, "I can't tell you, what if someone gets to know?" The concern and fear was real, the old man shook his head, "kill me. If you don't trust me."

Surya fumes in anger, "if I wanted to kill you then you would be death the moment you had sent me to her kingdom," pointing on Chakoriya, "do you know who he is?" He looked at her, but she shook her head, "no my love. I don't know."

The young boy scares, he can't lose the old man, Surya saw that he too doesn't want to hurt anyone.

"You have my word, I won't harm him non of you both, but tell me his identity or else I can't keep you save." Surya waited for their reply.

Baba made him sit next to him, "Prince Surya, I sent you to save her, because I saw the honesty in your eyes, the humanity to understand. The King, her father, is a very awful ruler. He has done many sins in his life, one of them is here."

Chakoriya lowers her gaze, "they know I'm just the daughter of my father's mistress, he never made a secret of it."

The old man smiles, but also shook his head, "no my little princess, you got the title of a princess. You are in the same place like the other two princess's. But this young boy was outcasted. He is your brother."

Chakoriya was shocked, "what?" Surya stood up and looked at him, Babu was scared "they will kill me now."

Surya shook his head, "No, no one will kill you. Chakoriya take him with you and don't tell anything to anyone. Not even to the king or the queen. Go."

Chakoriya nods, she was smiling looking at the little boy, "Come, don't forget I'm your shield/saviour no one can harm you as long as I'm with you." Babu smiles and hugs her tightly, she carries him out into her chamber.

Surya had closed the door, "tell me more. I sent them out why is his life so important and why doesn't the king wants him? He is the next heir."

Baba stood up, "yes Prince Surya, he is the next heir, but he is made of sin. The King has abducted a woman and had caged her. He has never married again, yet he become a father. Even kings do mistakes, right? But this king is cruel, he used innocent women for his lust and amusement."

Surya felt bad, "you meant to say, he is his son, but without any rights?"

In some kingdoms the heirs have to be announced to the kingdom, but if there is a child without name then it won't be accepted.

The old man come, "the king considers the child as death, he doesn't know he is still alive."

The old man was tired and broken, he had to tell him everything.

"The woman he abducted was my daughter, she was just 23 years old when he saw her and asked for her. I refused it and he caged him like you did, but you have never hurt me. You have kept me save. You saw something in me the way I saw something in your nature,"

Surya turned to him with a smile.

"I have been in search for a shelter, he abducted me and my daughter gave herself to him, he had blackmailed her to kill me, if she won't do as he wished. She become his new toy, he never gave her the tag as his mistress. No one ones that she was used by the king,"

Surya made a fist. What kind of king is this, who uses his power on innocent people.

"My daughter was thrown out as soon as she couldn't satisfy him, he thought he had killed her, but my daughter was strong. She come to me and I helped her to escape, we were hiding in the jungle. She gave birth to him, you call him Babu, but she named him Ansh."

Surya smiles, "Ansh? I will still call him Babu. I like Babu."

The old man nods, "haan he too likes it. Where were he all the time?"

Surya come and hold the man's hands. "He was  in the village of the kingdom, I had made him stay at a close family place of mine. First I got to know he was sleeping on the road, but I got him to stay in another house. He was behaving bravely as well as mischievously. You don't worry your secret is save. I promise you nothing will happen to him. He is my responsibility now."

The old man thanked him, "how can you trust me?"

Surya looked at him, "because now I understand why you sent me to the kingdom. Not to meet Chakoriya this was just a coincident, you wanted to show me the cruelty of the king and made me aware of his plans. Thank you."

The old man rested on his bed, he might be caged, but kept like a guest.

Surya was looking for them, Chakoriya and Babu were playing in the garden with Vivaan. He smiles and searched for his father.

"King?!"

The Queen come to him, "my son he is in the horse stable, hiding from them."

Surya frowns, "do you want to tell me that the king is playing hide and seek with them?"

The Queen nodded, "yes, your little friend has a kind magic on him."

Surya nods and left to expose him, "Babu stable?"

Babu looks at him with big eyes, he rushed inside and come out with the king, who visibly fumes looking at his son.

They laughed and Surya asked him for a talk.

Chakoriya looked at him, she understood he will tell him about Babu's real identity.
