Zravasaya strolled peacefully in the gardens of the old palace situated on the outskirts of Rakshatra on a mountain. It was a small palace yet huge enough to accomadate atleast 10 villages.

"You seem to be curious about your surroundings " The old man who was strolling with him exclaimed as he ecompanied him in his stroll. The old man held a wooden crutch to steady himself on the grounds as they both moved towards the down lane. They both stood on the edge of the mountain looking down at the sea of the people swarming around the sea shore as they stowed the goods on the various ships which were parked on the sea ports.

Zravasaya sighed feeling the air mixed with the pleasant cold breeze hitting his skin like a blanket of fur. The sound of waves crashing diversed with the voices of humans and movement added lively essence to the atmosphere.

"Years ago when you were born I remember there was only one ship here. Now look at this place, you have turned this sea into a capital sea port " The old man asserted proudly reminiscing the old days when he was the only man who owned a boat in the particular area.

"This is a tribute to my mother, " Zravasaya whispered smiling at the man who slowly lowered himself on the ground his legs giving up. Zravsaya helped him sitting down on the stone whereas he kept standing near him looking at the silent sea.

"Which one?" The man enquired tapping his wooden crutch randomly on one of the stones.

"My mother palasha, I know she escaped from this part in your boat. Rakshatra will always remember and worship her sacrifice and this sea port will be the symbol of it. "

"It will be, young king it will be. I find myself lucky that it was me who helped your mother to cross the sea. "

"I am glad you did, Chakuni kaka" Zravsaya smiled.

"When I remember the old days, I remember you were just hour old when I helped you crossing the sea and now you are a king of this mighty nation and have a very beautiful family. "

"You are talking about my wife, aren't you? Because I know you haven't met any of my family members ?" Chakuni kaka laughed patting the stone as Zravsaya smirked in understanding.

"Your wife is the epitome of beauty and grace. I could see the depth of love she possess for you. " Zravsaya smiled clasping his hands behind his back, his muscles flexing as he breathed.

"I wish you could have met my another mother too. " Zravasaya whispered sadness lacing in his soft yet pained voice. Chakuni kaka sighed patting the young king's back.

"I tried searching for her as your mother asked me too. The only thing I know is she ran out of the kingdom by land. She was almost caught by the old king when I don't know how she escaped. But this is truth that she did escaped this kingdom. " Chakuni kaka wondered thinking about the odd night he encountered 26 years ago when he had helped a woman carrying a new born boy running away. When the next day he had rowed his boat back he had witnessed a massacre of all of family members. His whole family was killed cruely as a punishment of him helping the future heir run away.

Did he regret? Yes he did. He had mourned his family for years. But when 5 years ago the same woman who he had helped visited him back he felt all his guilt running away. The boy he had helped years ago stood like a fierce warrior infront of his eyes. He had conveyed his gratitude towards the old low rank boat sailor. The man who had royal blood flowing in his veins, the heir of the most powerful ancient legacy had bowed respectfully to him. That day chakuni kaka had cried in grief holding the hands of the man he had helped.

That day he had allowed the guilt to leave his body. While Zravasaya had given the old palace as a gift to him. He had turn old as time passed in this 5 years he had always prayed for the better future of the boy who called him uncle. After all he was proud of the man who was the monarch now.

He had played an prominent role in scalping the bright future of Rakshatra.

The sacrifice of his 5 family members was nothing compared to the sacrifice of thousands of innocent humans who lived under the rule of Old king Rametu.

"The sun is about to set. We should head back. Your wife would be looking out for you" He said holding the wooden crutch for support as he stood on his legs.

Tanirika kneaded the dough of wheat till it turned our firm and springy for rotis. She smiled checking the firmness of the dough and then rolling small parts of it to prepare small doughs for roti.

"Dai maa, how much time has passed since His majesty left?" She asked the woman who was allotted to help her in the old palace. Dai maa smiled shaking her head as the queen kept repeating the same question since last 20 minutes.

"Its been 3 hours my queen. And please stop exhausting yourself. You are here to take rest from the kingdom duties. Go out, stroll I the Garden or you could swing on the terrace " The woman in her late 40s suggested pulling the bowl of dough away from tanirika. Tanirika groaned pulling the bowl back. She huffed in annoyance as everything started to bore her out.

She had imagined this little escape as soothing but here she was getting bored to death.

"I have always had people around me. Chatter and hustle. This silence haunts me " She whispered washing her hands and then taking a comfortable seat beside Dai maa.

"Is the port too far away from here?" Dai maa laughed looking at Tanirika who blushed in embarrassment clearly understanding how desperate she sounded.

"Its been 3 hours since the king left and you had asked him questions regarding him every passing minute. And to answer your another question the port is only at 20 minutes distance. He will be coming back soon. "

"He had left 3 hours ago leaving me all alone in this palace after promising me that he brought me here for himself. All men do is lie " She complained making the other two woman who appeared to be young break into soft giggles. Dai maa glared at the two girls who were washing the utensils making them press their giggles.

"You both slackers, move your hands rapidly. You work like a tortoise. And stop laughing on the queen "

"Yes sunena Baisa " The two girls affirmed carrying their work out.

"Your name is sunena? I didn't know that "

"Apologies your majesty, I forgot to mention it. Everyone refers me as sunena baisa as I stopped helping in births years ago " Sunena explained moving the wooden roller on the flat rolling board.

"That's fine I am not mad. Mother informed me about you when I was leaving the palace. Why did you stop helping in births though " Tanirika smiled making small rolls of the dough helping sunena in making rotis.

"The last person I helped in delivering was your husband and his sister. It was a terrifying delivery. Her majesty Saya had a pleasant pregnancy but the delivery was a nightmare. And after we helped her run away I lost my courage to help in delivering the babies. But I find myself lucky that these two hands relived the peace of bringing his majesty in this world. Now when I look at him, he looks just like his mother, same eyes same grace. Just like his mother. " She stated proudly.

"And what about his sister? You are few of the people who had seen the princess. How did she look like?" Sunena stiffened for a second, she looked at Tanirika and then at the two girls who were almost done with their work.

"You both! Out! " She ordered the two girls who ran out faster than horses.

"They both just need reasons to skip their chores. Where was I? "

"Uh! I asked you about the princess "

"Yes yes! The little girl. " She smiled as memories started flashing infront of her eyes.

"Your husband has a white skin but his sister was the symbol of a swan white human. Her skin was white as a swan, her face beautiful as a moon which could lit up the whole room. She would have turned into a very beautiful girl now. " Tanirika smiled imagining how did the princess looked from Sunena' description but failed to do so. How could she? Sunena had seen the princess when she was born at present she would be of her husband's age. Too older than her.

"But I always think how difficult it would be for queen saya to look at her and love her all these years ?"

"Why?"

"Her eyes, she had the same eyes as king Rametu. Same almond shape deep grey eyes. "

"Your majesty, his majesty is asking for you " One of the girls broke Tanirika's conversation with sunena who masked her sadness with a comforting smile ushering tanirika to tend her husband.

Kaya stood near one of the pillars as she waited with neera for Lekha to come out of one of the meeting rooms. Neera had requested a urgent meeting with lekha for Kaya. Neera stood near Kaya comforting her with a smile as they both waited for lekha.

The door opened making Kaya smile in relief. As she moved lightly towards lekha neera pulled her back Making her frown. Kaya blinked questionly at neera who motioned at the other people who were leaving the room.

Kaya hid behind the pillar with neera as they both stared at different people swarming out of the the room.

"That man with red hair is commander loki he is investigating your mother's case. The one who is with him is Master meglos he's one of the most important people to the king. And that man -" Neera was cut off in middle when Kaya's eyes fell on the very familiar face who exited the room conveying something with Commander loki.

"Ayas" She whispered as the Persian man exited the room, his curls bouncing on his shoulders as his crown sat proudly on his forehead. Neera's eyes widened the moment Kaya whispered the name of the high ranked man's name so carelessly.

"Shh!! Kaya do not take his name. What are you doing?" Neera scolded a confused Kaya who was hyperventilating like a bird in heat.

"Kaya!" Lekha called out the two woman who were busy in a heated conversation hiding behind the pillar. Kaya turned around as lekha came into her view. She looked back at neera who ushered her to walk towards lekha who stood at a distance away from both of them.

"Lady lekha, I -" before Kaya could keep her point lekha had stopped her. Kaya looked at lekha, whose eyes no longer held the warmness she once was blessed with. Today lekha had a very blank expression. And that expression sent fear crawling down her spine.

"Anamika has informed me about everything. And Kaya I cannot help you. Do you know that the dish which had the poison was cooked by your mother. I did not expect this from you and neera you? " lekha shook her head as she had once again failed to recognize people.

" Lady lekha, but cooking the dish and adding poison are two different things " Neera nudged in trying to pacify lekha.

"Whatever it is. I cannot help you both. Anamika has told me how you and your mother kept travelling from places which clearly shows how shady your past has been Kaya. I love Tanirika but how much I have known you I hope you are not part of this. That is the only reason I have not informed anything to commander loki. But if the investigation moves further then you could be suspected. Now please leave my way "

Kaya broken into tears the moment lekha left. She sobbed cupping her mouth as lekha's words pierced her soul. Neera held Kaya firmly both of them holding a sadness in their heart.

"I do not know what I have done to anamika, neera?"

"Power hungry, she is a serpent who wants to climb up and thinks backstabbing you would make her achieve that."

"I thought she was My friend. But the previous night she refused to meet me and today she had filled Lady lekha' ears against me "

"People portray multiple faces Kaya we should not trust anyone. You are too innocent for this place same like your mother. I think aunt Saya is being framed and the reason the culprit is doing this is because he is aware of your history and innocence which clearly implies you are not safe either "

Neera rubbed kaya's arms comforting her in a soothing manner. Kaya scrunched her brows tightly denying the immense emotional pain she was enduring.

She just needed her mother.

"Is there a way I can meet my mother,  just once ?" She asked her friend but soon realized that she cannot as neera lowered her head in shame.

"I am so sorry Kaya, my father he can't. He does not hold that prominent position and?" Neera blabbered guilt surfing through her. She was a bad friend if she couldn't  help Kaya.

"Its ok. They would come for your father if he helped me I understand. You have already done too much for me Neera. I am grateful to have you " Kaya smiled through her tears. She knew she was alone and needed to fight alone for the one person she loved the most.

Kaya was not weak. Her mother was innocent and to prove her innocence Kaya would drag everyone to the court demanding justice.

"I still don't understand why did you referred the Persian man by his name " Neera asked Kaya as they both walked towards Neera' room. Neera had asked Kaya to stay with her till her mother comes back. Initially Kaya denied but after neera pressurized her she gave in. It was better to have neera near than staying alone with every eye looking at you with accusations.

"Who? Ayas" Kaya spilled with a shrug. Neera gasped squeezing her hand scolding her again.

"What is wrong with you? You keep hitting me whenever I take ayas's name " Kaya complained her eye brows kniting in confusion.

"You should not take his name! "

"Why? Is he My husband that I should refrain myself in taking his name? "

Neera shook her head holding her head done with kaya's talks. How can she not know about the famous handsome friend of the king. He was the talk of the month between various ladies who lived in the palace.

"Do you know who he is? " She asked Kaya who nodded answering her back.

"Yes he is a Persian man. He has come here to visit the king. "

"And why?"

"To trade goods. I think he is a trader. His clothes are rich in sight. And the way he talked I guessed him as a trader. Yes he could be a trader. " Neera slapped her forehead clearly done with her friend.

"How did you guess this? You have met him?"

"You don't remember him. He was the one who saved me when we were attacked in the market!"

"He did. I don't remember. I was scared that day and my brain was not functioning. I remember there was a man but I didn't see his face." Neera wondered pouring some water in one of the copper glasses and handing to Kaya.

"He was Ayas. The previous night when I went to have a stroll while waiting for mother I met him there again. He was sad about his sister something related to heartbreak. I ended in spending hours talking to him. He even gave me his ring. See "

Kaya flashed her fingers at Neera who gasped holding her wrist. She traced the ring which had an emerald swan white jewel embedded in it. The ring was so exquisite to look on that it could add shame to the beauty of the moon. The white marble was hypnotizing to the naked eyes.

"Remove this and tie this in your clothes. If someone saw you wearing this magnificent rich jewel they will doubt you even more. " Neera pulled the ring out of kaya's fingers and tied it in kaya' dupatta hiding it from others eyes.

"But I don't think it's that expensive. I know it's very spectacular to gaze on but how can he afford it?" She said rubbing her fingers on the ring which was hidden in her clothes. Neera smacked kaya's hands lightly making Kaya smack her back lightly.

"This jewel is majestic and is very much real. Only high ranks possess this. Even I cannot afford this and you think a trader did. Kaya my innocent bird you hold the importance equal to this jewel or more than it to the man who gave you this " Neera explained her brain working harder than ever. It seemed that her friend had caught the eyes of King of Persia unknown to the fact that he was the king.

"Uh- I mean he is quite handsome and he held my hand yesterday " Kaya quietly stated playing with her fingers as blush coated her cheeks remembering the moment when ayas had held her fingers.

" did he make you feel uncomfortable? "

"NO! Strangely I liked when he held my hand and he just held my fingers to give me this ring other wise he didn't initiated anything " Kaya explained making neera sigh in relief. This indicated that he didn't wanted Kaya as a asset to clench his lust. Neera was not unknown to the fact that

Kaya was one of the most beautiful she had ever laid her eyes on, innocence raked in her aura and men loved innocence. One of the main reasons anamika was jealous of Kaya was her beauty, her exhaustive features complimenting her skin brought shame to many higher rank ladies. 

"I see you have caught his eyes and he caught yours huh" Neera teased making Kaya blush in embarrassment.

"I think we have a perfect man to help you meet your mother " She added making Kaya look at her in confusion. What was she talking about?

"Who?"

"The man who gave you this ring!" Neera clapped her hands happily being proud of her thinking.

"How could ayas help us? He's just here for trade. "

"Oh god!!! He's not here for trade I mean yes he could be. But he's more important than that!! "

"Is he? "

"Yes we just need to find a way to meet him"

"I know how to meet him. He gave me this ring for that. He said whenever I desired to see him I could walk into the Royal guest chambers and flash this ring to them. "Neera was surprised to hear this the king of Persia was taking too much interest in Kaya.  What was going on !

"You seem to be very close "

"Uh No! We just developed an understanding I helped him understand one of his problems. Nothing else. "

"Yes that's right. Out of all people he allowed you to solve his problem. " Kaya forced a smile not understanding anything was neera taunting her but her voice didn't held a taunt it was more of a worried expression.

"I mean he has ministers, advisors for it. Him taking it from you seems very odd to me. "

"He has advisors for what?"

"Oh Kaya, my little innocent Kaya. The man who gave you this ring is not some common trader. He's the king of Persia. And by your talks I could clearly see you have bewitched him in your hold. " Kaya gasped her eyes widening as she tried processing Ayas being the king of Persia. But he was so nice.

King's were supposed to be cruel! That's what her mother had told her.  She had imagined the King of Persia as someone who could be in his old age while ayas was a young man with deadly handsome features. The most attractive were his long  black curls falling on his shoulders as he moved his ahead talking.

"And now we are going to take advantage of his liking towards you in our benefit and you can meet your mother. He's very close to the King of Rakshatra. And A powerful man like him could easily make you meet your mother "

Tanirika giggled in pleasure as her husband moved his fingers in her scalp giving her a head massage as he helped her in washing her hair. She was wearing her white kanchuka while he had a white cotton cloth wrapped in his lower region. They both were enjoying their leisure time in the bath talking and helping each other in relax.

Zravasaya kissed her cheek making her hum in delight. He moved his fingers in a circular motion applying gentle pressure on her scalp. Tanirika relaxed in his hold sighing in content. She was sitting infront of him on one of the pool stairs while he sat the step upper than hers. He rubbing his fingers in her scalp moving from front to back.

"Is it good?" He asked adding more pressure to the area near her ears. She nodded her head bobbing her head making him chuckle.

"Are you less annoyed now?"

He asked, another passed from her making him smile in return. When he had came back from the stroll he had witnessed a very annoyed tanirika who had complained hours about his promises which were fake. He had promised her before leaving the palace that he would just be hers in the old palace but after arriving in the palace he had immediately left with chakuni mam towards the port.

"You are doing this to get me touch tonight, aren't you?" She whispered removing his hands from her hair turning around sideways she faced her husband who blew a fit of air on her cheek.

"Well, as much as I know you. You want to touch me too " he smirked tracing her cheek with his index finger. Tanirika chuckled evily, she stood up pushing her long kohl black hair behind. Her kanchuka hugged her like a second skin making her erect nipples peak out and the southern region highlight as water collected near her thigh. She pushed zravasaya's legs wider crouching down she adjusted herself on his thighs. He held her by her waist pulling her to himself.

Tanirika leaned on his chest, tracing his neck she rubbed her thumb on his collar bone smiling sweetly at her husband. Zravsaya chuckled clearly understanding she was up to something.

"I don't need to offer my body inorder to touch you back " She whispered softly her hand moving towards his shaft.  She made an eye contact with him as her hand moved towards his flaccid cock resting beneath the cotton cloth.

Tanirika chuckled as she held his shaft in her hands above the cloth. Her husband groaned throwing his head back as she started rubbing her hands on it.

"A fucking menace you are " He forced out as pleasure started hitting him. She laughed kissing his lips softly as her hand started working faster.

"Is it to your liking, your majesty ?" She teased squeezing his cock.

"Oh it definitely is" He whispered wrapping his hands in her hair and taking her into a deep kiss. Her hand started moving upwards as she felt getting her self getting lost into his kisses. He smirked picking her up in his arms, not breaking the kiss he placed her on one of the stairs.

Moving his hands he removed the cotton cloth and her lower kanchucka. His fingers met with her mound as he rubbed it rapidly making her wet for him.

"You see you have ignited a little fire down there now your wetness will calm it down " He whispered slamming his now erect cock in her. She moaned loudly throwing her bed on the top stair. The water floating around their body splashed as he thrusted inside her.

Zravasaya dipped his head between her breasts, opening the knot of her kanchuka with his teeth he pulled the pathetic excuse of the cloth away from his mouth. Her breasts fell free splashing the water around her chest. A sight to behold.

He kneaded one of her breasts as he kept his thrusts constant and brutal. Tanirika was a moaning mess under him as he took her in one of the harder way. The only way she liked it.

"The one thing I love about you, being my wife is your bold tongue which shuts down when I am buried deep inside you " He chuckled putting his thumb in her mouth which she took in desperately sucking it off.

"Vasaya" She moaned feeling pleasure build up inside her as he kept slamming inside her.

"What? My love "He teased making her moan in return. He rubbed her mound adding another shots of pleasure in her body. She felt pleasure running in her body as lust took over her senses. She clawed like a man woman, scratching his back as they both chased their orgasms.

"You are pounding inside me just like my heart" she whispered making both of them chuckle. Moans followed soon as they both pleasured each other. He took her into another heart warming kiss, holding her unsteady self near his heart, he moved both of them out of the bathing chambers.

Clearly Indicating he was not done with her.
