King came to sugandhi"my Queen! If I am in your position I too will feel same and panicked, when Rajguru informed me I was shivering but once sit in my place and think, will you not keep me away from worry? When you knew it was Mandakini who did conspiracy with letter in rajkumars function you didn't hid it from me so that I won't be one in pain and trouble? I came to you on that day remember whole night we were talking only about Manik, that day I came to know about injury, I sent rajvaidyji and herbs too, when they returned they said Manik is fit and fine, I wanted you to see Manik with your eyes and know how he is before I inform you so that you won't loose your sanity, as I loosed on that day, please forgive me my love. My intention is to protect you nothing else please" he begged

"You don't know how much I love my children"
"I know and I love you more than my children do you know that?" He said wiping her tears hugging her softly. "I promise you I will protect him with me life not only him, I will protect you too" he kissed forehead
"You gamble with words" she said with pout
He laughed "and you love my charm" she giggled. King is relaxed immediately

Manik is weak still, so his mother called vaidya ji and asked him to make him healthy, he gave some medicines, she made sure that he take medicines properly even in marriage work busy. She never let him away from her sight for long time. Manik felt annoyed but agreed.

Nandini came to mahal again, seeing her again Manik felt more comfortable and challenging, he always had eyes on her, gazing her from distant watching her every move and action gave him fun, he laughed when she laughs, he pouts when she did, she became source of ray in his life, his serious life became colourful with her nature.

Marriage happened like last time, Manik both sisters are gone to sasural, now his mother and him are sitting and recollecting best times with girls, king joined them
"Both girls were lively and colourful to mahal, when we will see them back again we don't know, how to live like this" king said. They were gloomy

Next day king called all his sons to ground "now show me what you learnt in Gurukul all these while and who impress me I will give them this horse who is fastest one in our kingdom he is so talented that he will make you proud come on go change and come" king said. All his sons left.

After returning king first made them run whole ground, then made them do surya namaskaar, then gave them some rest and started competition among themselves.they fought with some soldiers, then they played kabadi with soldiers, they ran for target, lastly arrow shouting id been arranged.

Giridhar came proudly and shouted arrow exactly on target, then other two came they too did but minor difference. Giridhar is proud of himself, then finally Manik came he took two arrows and aimed them, one hit the target perfectly and the other one made its way while parting the first arrow perfectly half. All around them started clapping and shooting ohohihoh in happiness. Even king started clapping with proud,

Girdhar face fell, he is again angry and when tried to attack Manik king signalled solider to keep him away from Manik.
"Rajkumar Giridhar your this aggressive behaviour is not accepted, you deserve punishment, you didn't learn from your guru so let me harsh on you, run whole ground 100 times without any break food and water, then tomorrow whole day you will kneel infront of Rajkumar Manik kaksh. You will write an apology letter, if Rajkumar Manik forgives you then you will be free if not it's his choice of punishment will be granted. About today's winner is Rajkumar Manik so this horse is his now" king declared, all clapped with pride.

Manik took his horse to ride where he came across Nandini fortunately, he got smile seeing her, she greeted him with respect "Pranam Rajkumar"
"Pranam Nandini, do want yo ride this horse?" He offered
"Gratitude Rajkumar, sorry to deny as I am in hurry, mother is waiting for me at temple, I am late please forgive me"
"It's ok I will enjoy and come back"
"Have a great ride Rajkumar" she wished, he smiled and left in happiness of getting his new horse.

After half day ride he named his horse 'tufan', he came running to his mother
"Mathasri! My new horse is best he runs so fast I named him tufan" he told her with excitement
She smiled made him sit besides her, gave him some fruits to eat "acha! So you love him?"
"Yes mathasri"
"I am excited too. And tufan name is best, I heard you did great in todays test by your father?"
"Yes mathasri I did best in arrows"
"Really can I test you?"
"Sure mathasri"
"Ok then let us go" both came to backyard where sugandhi practice ground is, "look Manik those moving birds toys are our target, with one arrow if you can throw them down then you can win if not you will be a looser"
Manik felt little pressured but he aimed after thinking for few moments he got idea and aimed for threads than the toys, as he expected he made all the toys fall down with one arrow, sugandhi felt proud

She took her son in "Manik as you aimed for thread not toys, you should always aim the weak point in fights that doesn't mean you go wrong way. For example Giridhar is troubling you always what do you think you have to do? How can you make him be in limits?"
"I don't know mathasri I want you to give me an answer"
"No Manik think, everytime your mother can't be with you, you have to use your brain, and presence of mind too. Think and think until you find an answer, go get freshen up and come to me with answer" Manik came to his room thinking.

Later night he came to Sugandhi room "mathasri I couldn't find any way, I failed"
Sugandhi frowned and thrown a plate in anger towards Manik, for sudden action he dodged
"See this is what you have to do, play tricks on him, show that you can too answer him without doing anything, use brain and be skilful like now, take step back to be in front row, always winning is not only solution, sometimes taking one step back can make others confused and loose their title. Maintain dignity, same way maintain calmness to show that you are panicked or worried not effected, they should be confused to know your intention. Did you think I will throw plate on you? No why? I didn't show anger or any action symptoms, I was calm and study same way you too should confuse them with you body language and face expressions. Look Manik our reaction is only thing which give others thrill so let them try to read you whole life, you never give them that satisfaction. Winning is nothing but seeing others expressions of loosing pain and hurt, you focus only on your satisfaction not others reactions. You meditate daily before you sleep and when you woke up, it helps in concentration and self discipline. Go meditate and sleep"
"Gratitude mathasri! I will sure concentrate and try to change my views"
"Not try Manik, you are Rajkumar you can't just try you have to be successful, I will give you ten days time learn to do them" Manik nodded said good night and left.

Manik got trained to meditate daily twice by her mother, she helped him to get him focused and well mannered. She spent her whole time with him, making him learn about his own mind body and personality. She made him learn what makes him wise, she sent him to near by villages and got him a view of common people, their struggles and their problems most important how climate effects life and a family.

Ten day time span finished like zip, Manik and all his brothers are now ready to go to Gurukul back, this time guru asked them to bring their own horses, Manik is happy to have his tufan with him, he reached Gurukul on time. This time he didn't let anyone rule his mind. Giridhar tried to piss him off "having fastest horse don't make you winner brother" he  retardants
Manik smiled "yes it's true and I am proud I have tufan for me, you know he didn't even got tired still. I will make him a golden hoes for him soon, look tufan Bhai Giridhar is praising you good boy" he patted horse and left. All other brothers laughed at him, Giridhar got angry but his mother warning stopped him, she said not fight if not he won't become Yuvaraj ever. He scoffed and left.

From then on Manik never look back about Giridhar, his smart moves always made Giridhar irritating and irrational which resulted that he is always in trouble.

Guruji started training them rigorously, daily morning he make them practice sword fight, then bow and arrow, then other weapons, evening they will sit and read books about finance history and geography. He even teaches them about puranas and vedas

As days passed Manik enemies too increased, Rudra and Harsha too started plotting against him, Manik didn't cared much. His focus about learning didn't get deviate. His meditation always made him strong man. He always remembers his mothers words when ever he feel down or low weather. He works very hard. No matter what he completes all tasks which Guruji orders him to do.

Years passed, Guruji started judging his disciples skills and their personality, this year end he will send them back to mahal, this year they will complete their education and training, king is eager to see them and test them soon. He personally likes Manik a lot, dedication, sincerity, hard work, patience, smart, talented, calmness, and strength which made him unique and special. Manik always smiles and keep his attitude in check.

Where as Giridhar is greedy, cunning, talented, brain sharper, and highly dangerous, Rudra is hard worker and talented but he lacks smartness in work, he always make things messed up due to that. Harsha is disciple of his brother Rudra whatever he says are his commands, Harsha is smart one among all, he can be dangerous if time comes,

Guru always felt sorry for Manik as all his brothers want to snatch his rights, hard work,and fame, same time he proud that Manik can be strong enough to handle them all.

Here in mahal, Rani Dharani started to play her card, she is now pregnant, having complications in pregnancy she started taking attention of king a lot and asking for things she don't deserve, among them is asking for a garden like queen, king became stiff,
"Look rani Dharani! You always want to snatch someone else things mostly queen's, once I did mistake by giving her personal horse which her bhaisa gave her to you, now I won't do the same you do whatever you want, I will never do or let you do things as such? In this mahal only queen will have her personal garden and only we will visit that garden no one else are allowed in, if anyone does their punishment is death no matter who it is, even children too will have that punishment so better be in limits, one more thing Vaidya ji said now your health improved totally and I am appointing some nurses for you to help, so no need to make yourself pity, and call me for silly things I have work. One more thing if I hear your health degrades I will hang you for not taking good care of child beware. Good bye"
"Prabhu you can't do this to me, everyone loves their youngest wife a lot but hate me why? Why can't I get your attention why?"
"You came to mahal as a burden, and I don't love or like you it's my duty to fulfil your necessity that's all."
"You married all three marriages same way then why only me?"
"You are wrong I treat you all same only fulfill my duties, I conquered my queen, I win her in swayamvar, then I fought to get to me with her all family she is my pride, she is my win, she won my heart so never ever compare yourself with her, she is here in my heart always, you don't even cross my mind unless someone reminds me. Now take rest I have work"
"You can't sleep here for today atleast"
"No you are pregnant and need good care of child so be alone"
"When third Ranisa Minavathi was pregnant you stood by her all time"
"No I was only in hard times, you can now sleep don't waste my time" he walked away ignoring crying Dharani. She now hates queen most.
