The air in the chamber was heavy with the scent of burning musk and impending doom. Roshni backed away, her breath hitching as the shadows seemed to close in around her.
"Humma jane dijiye... aisa aap kyu kar rahe hain humare saath?"
A dark, chilling laugh echoed against the stone walls. Aryaman took a slow, predatory step forward, his eyes locked onto hers with unsettling intensity.
"Aisa kaise, Rajkumari? Ab toh aap humari patni hain... aur Aaj tho humari suhaagraat hai bhala is din kaunsa pati apni dharam-patni ko chod sakta hai?"
He moved closer, his presence looming like a dark cloud over her fragile frame.
Roshni's heart hammered against her ribs. She could not-would not-surrender herself to this monster. Her virtue was a treasure far greater than any kingdom, and she refused to let it be auctioned away by his cruelty.
With a trembling but determined hand, she reached behind her waist. Hidden beneath the heavy folds of her lehenga and secured by her kamarbandh, she gripped the hilt of a dagger. Its blade was small, but its edge was sharper than any soldier's sword.
She pressed the cold steel against her own wrist, her voice shaking but defiant.
"Agar aap humare kareeb aaye, toh hum apna aap ko khatam kar denge! Par yaad rakhiye... aapko humari rooh tak choone ki izzazat nahi denga."
The threat hung in the air, but it didn't slow him down. Not a single line of worry etched Aryaman's face. He didn't flinch; instead, a mocking smirk played on his lips.
"Kariye... Apna aap ko khatam kariye."
He continued his advance, relentless and cold. Roshni stumbled back, her heels catching on the marble floor until her back hit the cold, unyielding stone of the wall.
"Humne kaha na... humare kareeb mat aaiye!"
