This story picks up from where the serial Bharat Ka Veer Putra Maharana Pratap took its first leap from a younger cast to an older one. A lot of the fans didn't like how the storyline was handled, and I am one of those disgruntled fans. I find solace in rewriting plotlines for my favourite characters and here is one such story, born out of boredom. Pratap and Ajabde, now tied by the sacred thread of marriage, are separated because of the evil plottings of a family member. Even when the truth is in front of them, reconciliation seems like an impossible task. This is a tale of their insecurities, challenges, and obstacles, both internal and external.

On the prosperous lands of Rajputana, where honor and vengeance are etched into the soil, two souls are shackled by destiny's merciless hand. Kunwar Yashvardhan Singh Aryavardhan, the prince as cold and calculating as the steel of his blade, shaped by duty but scarred by betrayal. And Vasundhara Kanwar Shailendri, a fierce princess with fire in her veins, unwilling to bend to anyone...not even him. Their union is meant to bring peace to their kingdoms, but the truth buried beneath their vows is anything but peaceful. They share a past, one drenched in promises and shattered by betrayal. Once, their love burned with an intensity that defied reason, two hearts caught in the chaos they created. But a ruthless twist, an irreversible betrayal, shattered everything they built. Now, forced into marriage by fate, every glance is filled with seething hatred...and an undeniable, dangerous attraction they can't escape. *************** "You were everything to me, Yashvardhan. But now, all that's left is anger and disgust. How could you accuse me of breaking your trust, when it was your lack of faith that shattered everything between us? You broke us, Kunwar sa. Losing you was unbearable, but your distrust and accusations only added insult to my injury." *************** "Then why does it feel like a dagger twisting through my chest every time I look at you? Your smiles, once my haven, now haunt me...scarred into my soul. I still crave the moments we shared, even knowing they're tainted. How could something so pure turn into this hollow ache? But worse, how could I ever hate someone I once loved so deeply and still long for?" *************** But as they navigate their new life, where love and hate walk a razor-thin line, they face threats that seek to tear them apart once more. Betrayal, jealousy, and political schemes lurk in the shadows, testing every oath they made and every vow they break.

Lost in pain, guilt and endless suffering was a child who feld for his life from the war torn Aryavart. He had nothing more with him, his memories failed him and yet he was taken in and given the name Perseus. He grew up, became Greece's most beloved warrior. But was that the end? Or was it just the beginning of a nightmare. Buried within his forgotten past lies a book. A book which took several lives. A book which holds a secret which died with its master in battle. "Who are you?" "The all knowing, all powerful...." "I didn't ask for subtitles!" Exclaimed Perseus. They dangerously held their swords against each other's throats. Their eyes challenged one another, yet neither of them were willing to battle it with their swords. "Why do you need this book?" Asked Vatsala. "Why did you....kill...." "Mere mortals such as yourself are so foolish!" Laughed the man. "Hand me the book, or else none of you live." They looked around and realised they were surrounded by armed men who were ready to strike as soon as the signal was given. "Percy, let him go." She softly suggested, by gently placing a hand on his shoulder. "I have their leader, they won't kill us." He replied. "You don't get them yet," sighed Vatsala, "they are not one, they are many. He that was made within one, is not one." Perseus dropped the sword and the book was handed to the man. They were at their wits ends. Would they succeed? Would they succumb to evil? Trapped, encoded, shrouded in mystery is a dangerous secret. The ones who knew it, died. Would they meet the same fate as that of the past? **Sequel to- Katha Raniyon Ki** **Can also be read as a standalone** Graphic designer: @Anoralily
