What causes chaos, my lord?

The greed of the throne my queen.

26 YEARS AGO

The walls of the palace shook with the screams of the woman who was lying inside her chambers as it was the time. The time to bring the royal member of the family into this world.

The third wife of the king screamed as the pain shot in her body. It felt like everything was breaking inside her. But the love she held for the kid inside her womb was keeping her alive.

"My queen, push we are close. I see the head of the baby " The midwife whispered massaging the queen's scalp. The queen cried into the pillow pushing further with every power she had.

"Call the king. Please. " She whispered.

"My queen the king is on the way. Please concentrate on the baby. We are close. "

"No call the king," she screamed as pain shot in her body. The wind blew wildly shaking the palace into its glory as the storm struck the region.

"The head it's out my queen one more push. On the count of three my queen. " The midwife encouraged her.

"Ahhhh"

"One. Two. three push my queen "

"Ahhh" The screams turn into a beautiful cry as the queen gasped for oxygen. The midwife held the baby in her arms securely gazing at the little royal crying for the touch of his mother.

"It's a boy." She whispered.

Her lady in waiting smiled joyously staring at the Newborn. The little guy squeezed his eyes mumbling a short cry as the lightning struck again.

"Ahhh" The queen gasped as the pain shoots inside her body again. She screamed as the pain hit her again and again forcing the little life left inside her to fight.

The midwife ran towards the end of the bed holding the queen's hand as the other baby decided to make it's the entrance.

"There is one more. Bring fresh water. Get new clothes. The queen has twins. " She shouted.

The little boy cried in the embrace of the lady in waiting as his other sibling fought to enter this world troubling their mother.

"I can't, " The queen said pulling the mattress in her fist.

"No my queen you can. You are strong. You have come so far. The baby needs only a few pushes. There is another life inside you my queen. " She whispered wiping the drops of sweat from the queen's forehead.

The maid came back with fresh towels and water. The midwife cleaned the queen ushering the Queen to push again.

The night was the longest night of the queen's life. She was bringing two humans into this world. The result of the forced union between the king and her. The fruit of the trauma she suffered since she married that man.

It was a beautiful night when she decided to visit the temple of the palace unknown to the fact that the king of rakshatra was strolling in the gardens of her palace trying to find solace in the night. When the king of rakshatra caught the glimpse of the princess walking around the corridors. He desired to have her. He visited the kingdom of harishpur for the first time to discuss the weapon business with the king of harishpur.

When the king asked for the security of harishpur from the kingdom of rakshatra. The greedy king asked for the hand of the princess of the kingdom. Looking at the beneficial arrangement, the father of the princess married his daughter to the king of rakshatra. The King visited her chambers on their wedding night, he just wanted a taste of her. Filing his harem with whores and marrying princesses around the world was he portray. He loved women and he loved to have every woman his eyes desire.

She was 17 when he took her for the first time. Filling her with his seed, having his pleasure he left the woman alone for several days. The princess of harishpur fell into the well of loneliness and darkness as everyone in the harem were after each other throat. The King had four queens. She was the third.

The first and the second queen were sisters belonging to the biggest kingdom of the hind. Two sisters who loved each other where against each other fighting for the attention of the king. She never fought for his attention, she never liked him. When he entered her that night she lost herself. The night was the dull and most painful night of her life. The woman filled with colours and flowers was left with dusk and thorns.

The fourth queen was the princess of another kingdom who was abducted during the war. She couldn't handle the conspiracies of the harem and died one Darby her hand ending her miseries.

The first queen tried many times but the woman only births to girls. The court was a mess without a male heir to descend the throne of one of the most popular kingdoms in hind.

The King went to his second queen after many trials it was revealed that the second Queen was unable to keep a child in her womb. Which made the court to turn towards the third queen.

Saya was a little girl who found happiness in the dark and among the flowers. She spent her days teaching young girls in the harem art of weaving and singing, happy in her world. When the king started visiting her chambers again.

It was not loving, he was never gentle. Every night he would take her, venting all his frustration and anger on her. The begging and cries never worked on the egoistic king who entered her mercilessly. She used to cry every night cursing her life and wishing the gods to end her misery.

When one day everything stopped and love was showered upon her. The day the doctor declared that the third queen was carrying a baby. Numerous fortune-tellers were called to predict the future of the womb and the child laying inside it.

"He who may be born on the night of full moon will verdict the poison and live a life by ending everyone. The reign would be malicious but glorified by the gods themselves. The union he may possess will be the union of love, the love which never bloomed in the royal family. He who may be loved and cherished by every citizen he would rule over. The reign would be enchanting and will be written as one of the strangest sagas in history. "

The sorceress boomed shaking the walls of the kingdom. The King and the court were filled with happiness and praise. The reign of the great rakshatra was in better hands. To save the queen from the eyes of evil forces and people she was shifted to the palace situated on the tallest deserted mountain of the kingdom. Only a few guards and maids were allowed to see the Queen.

"My lady three more pushes and the child will be in this world. " the midwife said.

The queen inhaled the air around her preparing herself to push another baby out of her womb. Her heart fluttered with happiness when the cries of another baby filled the empty walls of her chambers. She pushed her face into the pillow, slowly crying in comfort.

The 18-year-old woman sighed in happiness as her maids brought her babies to her. She smiled with tears in her eyes looking at the most beautiful scenery of her life. No this was her life.

"My Queen a king is born. " The maid whispered staring at the little boy with awe.

"And a princess is born too " she whispered caressing both of her children.

Saya sighed hugging both of her kids keeping them close to her hearts. Making a promise to herself that she and her kids will always live together. Her kids will know what love is and they will love her. After all the thing she craved for was love.

"When will the king arrive," She asked one of her maids. For the past few months, the king cared for her he visited her frequently. She was excited to show him the kids after all she gave birth to the future of rakshatra.

"I will inform you once the king has arrived my lady, please rest till then. The kids need your attention. " The maid said. She helped
Saya in feeding the kids and putting them to sleep. Saya smiled looking at her kids and kissed him on their foreheads. Her little bundles of joy.

She thanked the goddess for blessing her. She slept assuring herself that good days were on their way.

Few hours past since she swept into a deep slumber. a loud knocking on the door broke her sleep. She yawned sitting straight on her bed looking at the gates of her chambers.

"Palasha " she called for her lady in waiting. Palasha came running adjusting her veil. She nodded at her queen and ran towards the gate.

A distraught man entered the chambers of the queen with side oozing from the blood. He had a deep cut on his stomach. Saya gasped looking at the injured man. She ran towards the man who was skimping towards the Queen.

"What happened? Get him some help," she shouted when the man pushed her in silence.

"My queen you need to run. Run with the kids. Their life is in danger. Commander Samayandar has sent me. The king is on his way to kill your kids. He has killed everyone who belonged to harishpur. Run my queen. Save the children " He wailed as pain shoot inside him.

Saya felt fear creeping inside her body controlling her senses. The thought of someone killing her children killed her. She could not bear the pain.

"Saya run. We need to save the kids. " palasha shook saya from her reverie and led her to run.

Saya dropped a shawl on her tired body and covered her kids into another. Palasha held the girl into her arms while saya held the boy.

"Saya lets take the route of the water. There is a boat. I saw it we can sail to the other side. " her lady in waiting suggested.

Saya ran with her kids towards the secret exit of the palace. The footsteps of the soldiers echoed the halls of the deserted palace on the mountain. They ran into their forest as their life depended on it.

Saya knew she couldn't run further. The delivery took all the energy she had into her. But she needed to save her kids. Footsteps rang in her ear, as she hid behind a tree.

"The kids do not belong to the king, the rumour is that the queen slept with one of the soldiers " The man whispered as he moved further to search for the woman.

Saya gasped in fear when the realization hit her. She was being punished for giving a heir to the kingdom.

Palash and saya ran to the river bank as a boat rested to the side.

"My queen take the kids and run. Go save the kids. " Palasha said looking back at the palace.

Saya exhaled a heavy breath of air calming her senses and she hugged her boy closer to her heart. She kissed his forehead, as tears welled up in her eyes.

"No, you take him with you. Take the boat and take him away. He must come back and get me. I will wait for him here. Tell him that his mothers desire to see him sitting on that throne. Tell him to kill everyone. Kill all of them. Take him away. " she whispered handling her baby boy into her lady's hands. She removed the locket of her goddess and handed it the little fist of the boy.

Taking the girl from palasha's hands she bid her baby a good bye.

"let's go together my queen. don't do this. "

"no palasha. the king doesn't know that I birth the twins. Take my son he will come back. Don't worry. My daughter and I will live. We will run far away but you need to go. Go and tell him this daily that rakshatra longs for blood. His mother loves him. "

She turned back and ran towards the dense forest with her little daughter without glancing at his son.

He will return back and get her. They all will pay. They have to. Rakshatra will pay.
