Hey guys!

So I really didn't wanna bring this up but I think it's high time now. We are just a chapter near to the finale.

200+ people are reading and just 35 people are voting. Do you guys think this is fair?

If you have come such a long way that means you are genuinely invested in the story. Then why can't I get a vote from your end? That's the least I can get in return.

I never even put targets for the chapters , the least I "request" you all to do so but forget about comments and follow so many people don't even vote. So I have decided the finale will have a target.

Target - 50 Votes for the season finale, which is not even half of the reads so I believe it isn't that high.

Finale Spoilers : Consummation, near death experience and the biggest revelations.

Apologies to my loyal readers for any delay.

Happy Reading!

Veer saw the empty glass and Bani sitting on the bed. He immediately ran towards her while Bani frowned in confusion.

Veer - Bani! Bani! Sweetheart are you alright?

He asked panicking while cupping her face.

Bani - I am fine Veer but what happened? Why are you panicking?

Veer - You drank the Juice?

He asked being concerned and very scared.

Bani - I did.. But what...

Veer - Tapish immediately get the doctor!!

Tapish nods and leaves.

Bani - Doctor but for who? Veer are you alright?

Veer - Do you feel uncomfortable or something? Can you breath properly? Anything is hurting...?

Bani - Shh...

She said putting her palm on his mouth.

Bani - Calm down ! Calm down! Breathe!

She touches his hand on his cheek. Veer calms a little with her touch but he was hella scared.

Bani - Love,please tell me..

Veer - The juice might have poison in it.. Somebody conspired against us..

Bani took a sharp breathe.

Veer - It's my fault. I should I have tasted it first. I should have get it checked. Bani if something happens to you I will kill myself.

Bani- SHUT UP! Nothing will happen to you and I will be fine too. We already knew people will conspire and we have to fight back. Even if death is on my way I will make it return Veer.

She said touching his cheek.

Tapish - The doctor is here !

Veer - Doctor ! You have to save your queen!

The doctor nods and runs tests on Bani.
Veer keeps holding Bani's hand. Bani reassured him. Her head started spinning a little.

Bani - My head is spinning..

Veer - Doctor! Doctor! What's happening..?

Tapish - Veer.. Give the doctor some time..

Veer -I will not leave her!

Bani - Ve.. Veer.. Please..

She said and Veer melted. He didn't want to go but he would never defy her.

Tapish - Veer..! Everything will be alright!

Veer - Tapish! Take that glass and test if anything was their or not. If.. If.. If the glass actually has poison.. Get the antidote ready.

Tapish nods.

After sometime.

The doctor comes out.

Doctor - Their is no poison in her system Prince!

Veer - What really???

He cried with joy.

Veer - Thank god!! You deserve double your fees for this news doctor.

He said and got in.

Bani was sleeping on the bed.

Veer - Bani.. Baby..

He said cupping her face. Bani opened her eyes.

Veer - You are alright..

Bani smiled.

Bani - Told you..I will be alright.

Veer kissed on her head. Bani rested her head on his chest.

Veer - By the way you will be meeting the elders next week.

Bani - But in the party they were telling that they want to meet their Queen to be today.

Veer - Yes but you have to rest for a week .

Bani - Veer.. I am okay..

Veer - You are not..

Bani - I am.. In fact For some reason I feel very energetic.

Veer - Don't lie..

Bani - I am not.. I swear.. I feel alot better.

Veer - Meri Jaan nikal gayi thi aur tumhe yahan meri koi baat nahi man ni hein.

He said and turned away sulking like a little child. Bani found him so cute. She knew he was genuinely very scared and she just wanted to comfort him.

Bani- Accha Baba.. Listen to me. I will go out for sometime and after that I will give you a surprise.

Veer - Surprise ?

Bani - Yes, a surprise.

Veer - What kind of surprise?

Bani - You have to be a little patient Mr Singhania.

She smiles naughtily.

Veer - Apna dhyan rakhna. Tumhe kharoch bhi aati hein na toh meri jaan nikal jati hein.

Bani - I will.

Aakhir mere jaan ne kahan hein toh apna khyal rakhna toh padega.

They laugh.

Veer - I will help you get ready!

Bani- What do you have in mind?

Veer -You will see.

He smiles and picks her up in bridal style. Bani smiles. He takes her to the washroom. He puts her down and opens the shower knob. The water droplets fall on both of them. They keep looking at each other with a smile tucked at the corner of their lips.

Veer slowly opens her kurti and it falls down. He then opens his shirt and Bani keeps looking at him.

Veer - I thought you will push me away Sweetheart but here you are gawking me?

He laughs teasing her.

Bani - Why Will I not after all I have such a handsome fiance.

She said with smile. Veer moves forward to kiss her when Bani puts her palm in between.

Bani - I thought you were going to get me ready?

Veer - We can multitask.

Bani laughs.

Bani - No multi tasking..

Veer - Okay fine..

He said and turned her around swiftly holding her belly.

Veer - You will regret not multi tasking sweetheart.

He said whispering seductively in her ears. As he opened the remaining apparel between them. He slowly took the body wash in his hand and traced his finger slowly and seductively on her arms. Bani closed her eyes with his touch. He then put the body wash on her back. His hands went down and Bani's breathe hitched. Her back arched hovering more over him.

Veer - Behave Sweetheart .. I am trying to get you ready. Remember?

She turns and sees him smirking.

Bani - Evil..

He chuckles.

Veer - So can we now multi task?

Bani - No sweetheart. Cause if you are the king, I am the Queen. And Queen's don't lose.

She smiled and took the body wash in her hand. She moved her palm slowly all over his chest. Teasing him to the core. Her hands moved down but Veer held her hand and pinned her between the wall and himself with her hands on above her head.

Veer - You win sweetheart.. I can'T take your teasing more..

He said looking at her eyes and then at her lips.

Bani - I thought you were now a good guy following rules ?

She said teasing him.

Veer - You have turned me into a good guy but for you I will always be a bad guy. Doing very unholy things.

He said moving closer. His breathe fanning over her neck.

Bani - Bad guys don't go to heaven.

Veer - Bug they do get heaven for the one they love. No matter where they are.

Bani - Really..?

She said moving closer.

Veer -Yes..

He closes his eyes expecting a kiss.

Bani - Then get out !!

She laughed and pushed him a little.

Veer - Such a seductress..

Bani winks.

~~~

Nandini's mansion.

The noise of whips echoing in the halls. The whip piercing the human skin. Here was Nandini with a whip in her hand. The whip embedded with glass pieces.
And here was Hriday sitting down taking all the whips without a hiss from his mouth. His face was expressionless.

Nandini - How dare you!!!! How dare you trying to pursue some girl. You are just a fucking slave!

Hriday doesn't say anything.

Nandini - You are quite ?? Ohh so you want me to hit you harder.

Hriday - She is my friend Master.

Nandini - And you are my bloodservant. You are not allowed to even breathe without my permission and you dare make friends.

Hriday - Sorry Master I forgot my place
He said and she again whipped him. His back was bleeding due to the glass pieces in the whip.

Nandini- Don't forget why you are here. You are here to satisfy all kind of my thirst.

She smirked.

Attendee - Elder Nandini!

Nandini - What do you want now?

Attendee - Minister wanted to speak to you.

Nandini - Tell him I am coming in a minute.

The attendee went.

Nandini - Don't think you are spared. I am coming soon and till then..

She picks a bowl full of salt and rubs it on his wound as he whimpers for the first time. He could no more feel his body.

Nandini - Till I come, this pain will remind you who you belong to.

Hriday's eyes we're getting closed. He was habituated to this torture but today Nandini was very angry. His eyes getting closed and only her face coming in his mind. Bani. His savior. His love.

After some time the door creaked open.
Water was thrown on his face.

Nandini - Get up Hriday.. Ohh I am so sorry darling. You know I sometimes get angry.. So Sorry..

Hriday slowly gained consciousness.

Nandini - You are so smart Hriday. You befriended the Queen to be of the empire. I am still shocked that the prince chose a good for nothing human but still I think you did a great job.

Hriday just kept listening to her silently. He was still not in a state to speak .

Nandini - Now you will go back to the academy. Spy on her and tell me all her secrets. We will use her for our betterment.

Hriday - I will never let you hurt her.
He thought in his mind.

Nandini - Did you understand?

She said pulling his hair. Hriday nods.

Nandini - Now smile . I will lick this blood off you.

She smirks while Hriday felt like puking.

Hriday - I have to endure this. For the betterment of all. For her.

~~~

Bani was on her way to meet the elders. She was feeling very energetic and she didn't even know why but maybe that was a good thing is'int? She felt a power brewing within her. She closed her eyes and something hit her memory.

" You are just like your aunt , very powerful."

"You will always be my friend right? "

" We have to seal her powers. "

"She shouldn't remember this."

"She is our Savior. "

Suddenly voices started echoing in her mind. She held her head.

Who were these people? What was all this flashes about? Why does it feel like it had happened before?

Attendee- Ma'am, the elders are calling you..!

Bani tried concealing her inner turmoil. She had to do this.

She got in and saw five elders seated in a row. Almost felt like the Academy's Viva Session. Just that this event could change fates.

" Why do you think you should become a Queen? After all you are a powerless human. "

The first elder asked.

Ouch. Directly so aggressive. She thought in her mind. But she was not going to give up.

Bani - Elder I firmly believe that our birth doesn't decide our fate. It doesn't decide the power we conceal within ourselves. It's our actions that determine them. I might be a human but that doesn't stop me to be compassionate to my people. It doesn't stop me to strategise against conspirators. It doesn't stop me to progress our nation. Till my last breathe I will protect our Raktaanchal.

"What if you get attacked by Vampires? How will you protect yourself? And if you can't even protect yourself how will you protect our Empire? "

Another one asked.

Bani - Har jung sirf bal se nahi balki man se bhi jeeti ja sakti. Asli yudh ranbhumi main nahi balki man bhoomi main khela jata hein.

Everybody has weaknesses and I will make sure that I am well quipped with such knowledge. And also I trust my King to never let such event happen but if it does then I will be ready to fight.

"What if you have to choose between Prince and the kingdom? "

Bani - Then I will chose the kingdom first because that's what Prince Veer would want too. But I will surely go after him too. I will never abandon any one of them.

Ek Rani bhi apna kartavya nibhayegi aur ek Patni bhi.

She said proudly.

"What can you do for the empire? "

Bani - I want to create Blood.

"What? You are joking right? "

Bani -  No. You heard me. I want to create blood. So that humans and Vampires can live in peace.

"I have heard since Prince is with you, he is feeding on animal blood. Do you want to make us more weaker with this artificial blood ?"

Bani - This blood will have all qualities of a human blood. Then Vampires don't have to attack Humans and even humans can use this blood in case of emergencies. This will keep our Empire United.

"What if we don't want the humans support?

Ye pyade kya hi kar payenge humare liye? "

Bani - Jung main pyade hi raksha karte hein. Jo ladne aur apni manzoori se kurban tak hojate hein apne samrajya ke liye.

Every soldier on the board is the key to win the war.

"But.. "

The elder said but another supreme elder stopped him.

"Do you think this blood is possible? "

Bani - Yes, it's tough but not impossible. We are well equiped with technological support. Then why not?

The supreme elder was in great thought.

"You can go now. We will send the Royal edict with our decision in it. "

Elsewhere

Tapish was in the hospital to get the result of the test. He was really worried. He had'nt even told Meera about it.
She trusted him. When he told her about the shifting, she didn't question him even once.

He was worried when the doctor
.
Doctor - Sir, the report.

Tapish takes the report. He was about to open it when his phone rang. It was Veer.

Veer - Tapish, you can come back. Bani is fine. It wasn't poison.

Veer says on the call as Tapish sighs.

Tapish - That's good to hear!

They cut the call. Tapish vaguely looks at the report but what he sees shocks him.

Tapish -  Oh my god! I have to tell Veer about this.

Silver masked Man - You won't be in the condition to do so.

Tapish - YOU??

~~~

Bani came back to the mansion. She was a little early and Veer had not reached it. She smiled as she got some more buffer time.

Bani - Did you do what I asked for ?

Maid - Yes ma'am!

Bani - Thank you!

Bani looks at the clock.

Bani - Veer will be here in an hour. Let's get his surprise ready!

She smiled

After some time

Veer entered into the mansion. The mansion was filled with darkness. He frowned.

That's when his sight fell on something and his eyes widened with what he saw.

~~~
