———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-~THE REVENGE!~
“I announced something there without asking you!”
King Shekhar got so much confused seeing his daughter looking down with shame feeling so much guilty for something. “Princess!” he whispered. Princess Swara closed her eyes hearing his voice, she wanted to tell her father everything, that’s why she came to his room now but suddenly words has disappeared. Maybe she will get confident if she will be talking with him alone with no one in a calm environment, maybe she will be able to make him understand! But she was also not getting words to tell Sanskar to leave them alone, she doesn’t want to make him feel like a stranger, ordering him to come back in the competition, ordering him to win the sword, bringing him here.. she did all this to not just make him feel low, but now she just can’t shove him away. Taking a deep breathe, she opened her eyes to realize that tears were blurring her vision, quickly wiping her tears to stop herself from crying she continued still in a low voice,

“you asked me to find a Prince. Right?” he smiled still amused seeing the mixed emotions in the eyes of his daughter and nodded a little. “I choose him father! And announced there that we will be marrying, so no need of the next level!” his smile grew wide hearing the stammering voice of his Princess to know that she finally found her life partner. “I just announced there. I am so sorry father!” she couldn’t stop her tears by now as she cried. Her father wiped her tears smilingly making her shocked as he whispered, “so you have choosen him as your Prince?” at the smiling happy face of her father, she knew her father is not angry which made her relieved and before she could say anything, a voice spoke making her close her eyes in anger. “but I am not a Prince!”…
The father and daughter almost forgot that one was also standing here. Sanskar looked at her keenly as she told her father what she did there. And to his surprise, her father said nothing to her! Maybe because he thinks that he is a Prince. But no, he was not a Prince! If he comes to know this by somebody else, he might feel betrayed, not even by his own daughter! He himself should tell the truth and that will be the right decision! It took him few seconds but words finally managed to come out of his throat in a whisper, . “but I am not a Prince!”…
The King looked at him shocked with wide eyes, finally moving his gaze from his beloved daughter. He saw Princess Swara looking back at him for a second and then she stood up from the bed facing him, “Sanskar! I know it was me who took you here, but I am really sorry, I have to talk to my father ALONE!” at those words, she cursed herself at least a thousand times within that few seconds. She saw him just nodding to her and walking out,

she choked with her tears seeing his retreating figure. Did she hurt him? she turned back to her father who was still lying on the bed shocked, she sat near him and took his hands, “father! I will tell you everything in detail after sometime. Forgive me for that!” she asked crying making her father more shocked. “what is happening Princess? And what is he talking?” she looked around madly crying unable to see her father this much shocked, what if he falls more weak? She closed her eyes tightly stopping her cries and then opened her eyes and looked at him. “you trust me na? I will tell you everything! Please don’t take tension. Please?” he sighed looking at the pleadings of his daughter. “Please?” she whispered again making him again sigh in defeat and then nodded to her smiling. “you really won’t take tension, right?” she asked more scared making her father smile and caress her hairs. “I trust you Princess! But tell me everything soon!” she nodded to him wiping her tears and then stood up covering him with the blanket to let him sleep. She started moving out but stopped at the entrance and turned to him,

“he is lieing father!” king Shekhar who just closed his eyes to sleep opened his eyes hearing her and looked at her. “he is MY PRINCE!” he smiled and nodded to her and again closed his eyes peacefully with the hope his daughter has given him that she will tell everything soon to him…

Sanskar was joining his back in the big pillar just outside the King’s room. He wanted to tell the truth to the King but when Princess Swara stopped him, he just walked out, after all it was between a father and a daughter! So he thought it is better to walk away and listened to her, he saw Princess Swara coming outside and looking at him, she was staring at him for sometime but then suddenly turned back and looked at her father and said which he didn’t fail to hear, “he is lieing father! He is MY PRINCE!” he shivered at her words which had so many emotions and then he saw her again looking at him and coming near him. “come”. She whispered and started walking and all he can do is just follow her still not getting over her words that he is her Prince!…
BALCONY..

Sanskar followed Swara and realized that now they have entered in the large royal balcony, Princess Swara looked up and stared the sky for few minutes before turning and looking at him. “do you know that my father is ill?” he could sense the anger in her voice and nodded to her. Of course, he heard the few guards talking about the king. “the doctor told me to keep him happy and that’s what I did! Did you saw how happy he was when I said that I choosed my Prince?” he looked down and closed his eyes hearing her. “did you?” he opened his eyes that was filled with tears. “he deserves to know the truth, Swara!” he whispered slowly moving near her. “what truth?” he stopped moving hearing her angry voice. “that I am a slave!” he whispered slowly hardly finding the words which he hated the most.. his reality! Princess Swara closed her eyes in a tired way, why was he not understanding her? Why was he always sticking to this fact? She was tired of all these and then she just walked away from there leaving their conversation incomplete. All she needed now is silence which surprised her because she hated silence!…
——————————————————————————————————————————————
NEXT DAY MORNING..
Sanskar opened his eyes and looked around the royal guest room he was given. He sighed standing up, the incomplete conversation with the Princess yesterday didn’t let him sleep at all. His feelings were just beyond words, he was unable to live without her and was also unable to live with her! Both the situations were making him weak. He sighed thinking to talk to her again to know what actually happened yesterday that she ch
ose to walk away from him…

AFTER SOME TIME..
Sanskar frowned as all the guards told that the Princess had went somewhere but they doesn’t know exactly where she went. Hours passed but there was not a sign of her, he was already feeling so lonely, he knew only her in this huge palace but where she has left leaving him alone here? He suddenly gets an idea to go away from here because Princess Swara was not here, but where will he go? To Prathap palace? Where he has betrayed his master and had also hurt the royal assistant and the guards? But he can also go somewhere else but what will Princess Swara think about him? even now, he doesn’t know what is running in her mind, but he know he will hurt her if he go from here. He can never see her pain but still.. he sighed closing his eyes feeling like dieing right now as he sobbed slowly. What was happening in his life?…
——————————————————————————————————————————————
Princess Swara seemed to be afraid of no one as she bravely travelled on her horse with her sword, a holder around her waist which had the sword of power too! But she didn’t took it out and choose to keep her sword alone. The people looked shocked at this stranger but they all can understand that she is a Princess! Pushing the guards with her horse, she bravely entered inside the PRATHAP PALACE shocking everyone there. The royal people tried to capture the beautiful Princess but she fought with the all of them..

With so many noises coming from outside, the King and two Prince of the land came out and was shocked seeing her. Prince Sahil got angry seeing her, but controlled himself as his father still doesn’t know anything about his evil plans. “Stop! How dare you people behave with a Princess like this?” all the royal people and the guards were shocked hearing this from King Prasad Prathap. Swara smirked knowing the reason and got off her horse. “you come inside, Princess!” all got more shocked seeing the King respecting a PRINCESS and welcoming her, but they all don’t know how great their land’s businesses were going because of the partnership with King Shekhar Mithra. “no majesty! I will like to talk here itself!” he was confused but still nodded to her. Even both his sons were shocked seeing their father agreeing to the each and every word of the Princess. “I am thinking to stop our trade relationship!” she smiled more in a devilish smirk seeing him so shocked.

“my people will no more buy your things!” at those sudden breaking of things, King Prathap was getting so much shocked. What had suddenly happened? he know that there will be a great loss if he lose this partnership. Already his son has bowed his head down by not bringing the powerful sword and now.. he closed his fist tightly controlling his anger, “what suddenly happened Princess?” he asked shocked. She started walking with attitude and looked around. There were so many people who was looking at her shocked. A perfect chance to insult Prince Sahil. “how can I when your elder son sent his slave to bring me to him?” everyone noticed the way her voice got a little sad saying ‘his slave!’ she felt so cheap of herself to describe Sanskar as… she closed her eyes taking a deep breathe to control her tears, asking sorry in her heart to HER Sanskar. King Prathap and Prince Laksh got shocked hearing this, while Prince Sahil looked away angrily closing his fist tightly. Opening her eyes, she looked at the King angrily, “so! I hope you understand the reason now! Is it convincing?” she asked smirking.

Prince Sahil looked at her angrily, he went near to her taking his sword.. she immediately took her sword of power and easily defeated him with the powerful sword and he was pushed back and almost fell on the ground which made him so much angry. Keeping her sword back, she gave a look to the king and then walked from there taking her horse. She stepped out of the palace and then sat on her horse when she heard a loud sound.. SLAP.. she smiled widely looking back to see a furious King Prathap, a shocked Prince Laksh and the most shocked Prince Sahil who was holding his cheeks.. a slap from own father in front of all the royal people, all the guards and slaves! There cannot be a more insult for an egoistic Prince! She turned and rode her horse fast to her land with the frown never leaving her forehead…

she was happy! Beyond happy about whatever was happening to Prince Sahil, but her words.. words cannot be taken back. She wanted to make Sanskar realize his potential and come out of the cocoon and be happy with her but today she herself has addressed him with his reality, how can she do it? She loves him! she promised herself to not get affected by all this.. she has accepted him with all her heart, with all her soul.. she should have not done this! She rode her horse more fast as tears blurred her vision with guilt engulfing her. NO! NO! why did she do that? The tears drowned her face, she was very furious with Prince Sahil, and as a result of that burning anger inside her, what had she talked about Sanskar in front of everyone? It’s she who always supports Ragini when she faces any humiliation, she can’t tolerate it when Sahil called Sanskar as his slave, but today.. this is wrong! She had committed a sin according to her..

The journey from the Prathap Palace to the Mithra Palace seemed too long with her curses on herself, her sobs seemed unending as she hated herself right now!…
