‟Tonight shall be the first and last night that we spend together, Gianita, for I do not intend to produce heirs by this marriage. The Prince would still be my heir, even though you're the Empress.‟ ‟Then why keep me, Sire, if I am of no use to you? It's obvious that you do not intend to add any more members to the imperial family besides yourself and the Prince, so why marry me?‟ *** Gianita, a princess from an eastern country is sent to marry the widowed Emperor of Angletonia, a vast and prosperous empire in the western hemisphere. To her dismay, the Emperor prefers the companion of his young son instead of his new bride. There were no traces of his previous marriage, only that the wife died shortly after the Prince was born.

"न किञ्चित् शाश्वतम्।" Everything must end. Ranisaheb Tarini Bai Gaikwad of Nagpur knew that everything must end. Afterall, her näivet erased with time, her childhood died within when the weight of a dagger fell in her hands. Tarini pushed away her bitterness to fight. That was what she did as Ranisaheb Tarini Bai Gaikwad. She fought as a warrior and wished to wash away presence of unwelcomed guests from her Motherland. Serving Swarajya was her life's goal and Tarini would do anything to fulfill as the trusted Chief of the great Chhatrapati. But, when the only way in the grand chess of pushing away the Mughal invaders from her country is marrying a man who harboures hate for her just as she despises him, the Mughals might not be her only foes. ================================= "सारज्ञः भव।" Be realistic. Shrimant Sardar Ekansh Holkar of Kashi knew it by heart to always be realistic. When dices of Snakes and Miracles became lessons on how life could topple over, a child had wished for a childhood and gotten reality in return. Ekansh pushed away his tenderness to rule his state with the security never seen before and a sword ready to drink blood of whoever dared to defile his Motherland. That was what he did as Shrimant Sardar Ekansh Holkar. Swarajya, was his life's goal. The life goal of a puppet was freedom, if not for himself then his Motherland. As a Rastrasevak, he would do all it to free his land from the Mughal invasions. However, in politics, one must sacrifice something to win over something much useful, to destroy something much powerful. If that sacrifice is marrying a woman who has blood in the lines of her dagger holding hands, Ekansh would still do that for his country. - 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐣𝐲𝐚 -
