****************
The hair pin removed releasing her long beautiful hair unto her shoulders with some covering her face.

" Oh goodness" everyone gasped in shock.

Anushka breathed heavily full of rage.

How dare the prince take off the face mask and reveal her identity to everyone, for that matter she just despised him him at that moment.

The prince finally broke the silence to irritate her the more as part of the fun he was already enjoying.

" Well well well , what do we have here?
A young beautiful and innocent looking lady who everyone hail as the Mysterious Warrior.
I mean a female warrior? That's real bravery young lady.
You fight with power and strength in every punch you throw but nothing of your lady_like feature shows that great skill.
No muscles, no manly features at all!
Just the beautiful image in front of me.
You even defeated our army commander. That's real bravery." He ended his long speech as he walked around her.

Anushka spoke no word.

The king ordered that she she should see him immediately after 30 minutes in the throne room.

For that matter the battle was ended and everyone was asked to go home.

"Come on I'll lead you into the palace and show you what to do before you meet the king." Prince Jamir said to her.

Anushka remained silent as she followed him inside.
Ratava, the palace maiden was the one to take care of Anushka's preparation to meet the king.

Before any maiden would go before the king in the throne room, she had to look presentable before him.

So Anushka was to go and change into a royal dress before she would be allowed to go before the king.

Ratava led her into the dressing room.
Prince Jamir entered and gave Ratava a signal to excuse them for a moment and she quickly exited the room.

"So tell me, who are you and how come a female like you have the bravery to fight like that huh?" He questioned.

Anushka couldn't hold her rage any longer so she fumed
" You've disclosed my identity so what more do you want?
I don't care whether you are the prince or not because I'm no more going to tolerate you tormenting my life! I really hope you get that clear."

"Woah what a temper. Nice, that makes it more interesting you know.
I'll be very glad to have a wild cat around so that I can actually take it. What do you think?" Jamir teased.

"Whatever, suit yourself" Anushka retorted.

Ratava entered and apologetically stated " I'm very sorry to interrupt my prince but I've been ordered to quickly prepare her so she could go meet the king."

"That's okay Ratava. I'll take my leave." He excused himself but halted when he got to the door.

Then turning to Anushka "See you later wild cat, meaaw" and left the room.

"What a jerk!" Anushka blurted shocking Ratava.

"Yeah yeah I know he's the prince but he's so annoying" she added just to clear Ratava's confusion.

**************
Anushka looked stunning and enchanting as she approached prince Jamir who stood in front of the throne room door as if he was guarding the place.

Anushka always held up her hair with a hair pin but this time, her hair was left to flow to her back and shoulders making her look royal.

She wore a beautiful white and turquoise blue Sari showing off her back and stomach.

As she approached the prince, he felt dazzled that he forgot how he's been nothing but a annoying to the young beautiful lady.

Anushka didn't even look at his face as she entered the throne room to meet the king.

Princess Ureli wanted to meet Anushka the Mysterious Warrior who turned out to be a young lady of her own age.

She came to meet her brother Jamir by the door obviously eavesdropping.

"Hei brother, what are you doing here? And where is the female warrior?" She probed giving him a painless punch on his arm.

"Shhhhhh..... come over here and listen. It's dad and the female warrior in there...." He whispered and Ureli gladly joined him to eavesdrop.

"I'm here as you ordered your majesty" Anushka spoke with humility.

"Yes yes... So you are a female. A female warrior for that matter" a calm remark from the king.

"Yes your majesty. I'm a female but trained as a warrior."

"Okay. First of all what's your name?"

"I'm Anushka Norash Anihar the daughter of Lamar and Sure Norash Anihar."

"Norash Anihar? So this means that you are the grand daughter of Sham Norash Anihar?"

"Yes your majesty"

Jamir and Ureli opened their mouth in utter disbelief.

The Queen was passing by when she saw them by the door eavesdropping.

" Hei you two. What are you doing over there huh? Eavesdropping is a bad habit you know that." She stated.

"Mum, it's about the female warrior. We just found out that she is the grand daughter of the once great warrior of Ilabuhab, Sham Norash Anihar who was banished from this kingdom during grandmother Adlinar's reign." Ureli disclosed to her.

"Oww that's really interesting. Ureli come on. Come with me to pick your choices of saris and jewelries. Come on dear, the designer is waiting." She said and pulled her away.

Back inside the throne room, the conversation went on.

"Hmm so you're Sham Norash Anihar's descendant, his granddaughter to be precise."

"Yes your majesty"

"Well, you've done so much for this kingdom and I can't bare to lose a great treasure like you.
You're as brave as your grandfather. mmm i would like you to stay and help Ilabuhab's great army but well, what happened to your grandfather happened in the past and his punishment is not supposed to affect his descendants.
Do you know what Anushka?
I'll like to discuss this with my subjects so I'll need you to go and come back tomorrow.
Then I'll let you know what my final decision is." The king concluded.

"Yes your majesty, I'll like to take my leave now." She humbly excused herself.

*************
Coming out of the throne room, Anushka bumped into the 'nuisance' as she calls the prince.

"You again?"
She was about to blast on him when he annoyingly cut her off saying
" Enough of the mewing, wild cat! Here, these are your clothes.
I came here and waited to personally hand them to you."

Anushka just took her clothes and chuckled as she walked out on him.

"Wild Cat, going so soon?
So when am I going to see you again?
Don't tell me it all ends here?" Jamir probed following her to the gate.

" Hmph! First of all my name isn't wild cat!
I am Anushka Norash Anihar and I prefer you call me that, simple!
Secondly, I just want you to know that You Are So Annoying!"
She fumed and the prince didn't look affected by that at all.

She then took a deep breath and without uttering another word she walked away before the prince would start annoying her again.

Anushka had already left when Ureli came back.

"Ahuh so where's she?"

"Sorry sis she just left. But don't worry,
I heard dad telling her to come tomorrow so she'll surely come back and you'll get the chance to talk to her, okay?"

"Okay brother" she sounded quite disappointed as she received comfort in her brother's warm arms.
