Once Ira left, the room was dead silent, until Shiv broke it, "So, there is a spy among us..." As he said, he touched his chin with his palm."What makes you think that?" Aditya questioned curiously.
"This is not the first time we are getting report of animals trans-pa.s.sing our land. We can not expect that to not happen, as we "Are" in a forest. But what caught my eye is the mark of a certain family on the lions." Shiv explained calmly to Aditya.
"What? Marks? Are you sure? How could that be?"
"Well actually, even I didn"t notice it at first... When I helped Ira, to push the lion off her, I noticed the mark of the family of Lal, on it. It was placed on the blind spot, so no wonder, we didn"t notice it till now. Then I checked the other lion, it also had the same mark, on the same spot."
"Then, they must have been trained..." Aditya grew pale, his face lost its color, he stuttered, "Then... Th.. Then... our cover has been blown!"
Shiv remained calm, while Aditya freaked himself out.
"If our cover has been blown... then there would have been an attack. But why send some wild animals... It is clear that attacking is not their objective... Its something else.."
.....
At the same time, in the palace of Surasena....
"Ah... Ahhh.... Ah! Your Highness.... so good.. Please... Faster... umm...."
"Your Highness, I am also here... Please play with me too..."
*spank* A loud spank was heard. He spanked the other prost.i.tute, "If you were half as good as her, I will play with you!" He spoke so coldly.
*Sound of hurried footsteps*. A warrior in a maroon color clothing appeared outside the King"s bedchamber. He was panting as he announced, "The Third General, Amar has returned. He is requesting for your presence, Your Majesty."
The sound of a loud moan is heard, with that they climaxed.
"Ask him to enter!" The cold voice of the king echoed through the bedroom.
The door to the bedchamber opened, an warrior who was at his late thirties entered. His long black hair, tied to a ponytail. His face was half covered with his bangs. He greeted the king as he knelt down before him.
"Your Highness, I have returned." He addressed the man, who was lying on the bed lazily with a bunch of prost.i.tutes.
He lazily turned to his side and spoke, "Oh... you are back already! So what happened with that mission I gave you?"
"Yes, Your Highness. I have completed the mission, thus I have returned." Amar replied with a stern face.
"Oh... So.. explain! What happened?"
"Indeed the words of that spy were true. There is a girl who resembles Lady Mia, from the family of Varma and she seemed to be accompanying Prince Shiv."
Suddenly the temperature in the room dropped. The prost.i.tutes who clung onto that man, immediately let go of him and moved away from him.
The lazy look in the man"s eyes changed once Shiv"s name was mentioned.
He spoke with a very cold and commanding tone, "That b.a.s.t.a.r.d is accompanied by a person from the family of Varma? Impossible! A lowly b.a.s.t.a.r.d like him! How dare he!"
The man ground his teeth and balled his fists. His eyes were full of blood l.u.s.t and crazy madness.
The people from the Varma family is better known for their excellent swordsmanship, intellect and stunning appearance.
The people from that clan were ambushed and ma.s.sacred twenty years ago. The very few who survived, went into hiding.
"I... I want that girl.... I WANT HER! Bring her to me. As long as she is alive I don"t mind, do whatever you want. Bring her to me immediately!" The man ordered Amar.
"Yes, I shall bring her to you!" Amar took a bow and then left swiftly.
This man is the current King of Surasena, King Anuj. He obtained the throne, by killing his own father and older brother. His father is the uncle of Shiv and the elder brother of the previous king.
He has a striking appearance, with a dark black hair all the way to his shoulders, matched with a pair of black eyes. He is tall with a muscular built.
Even though his father is the first son and the rightful heir to the throne, the late king, his grandfather, gave the throne to the second son (i.e,. ) Shiv"s father.
Out of jealousy and spite towards his younger brother and his father, that man killed his younger brother and obtained the throne. But fate played a trick on him. In the end he was killed by his own son for that same throne, as he planned to give the throne to his eldest son.
.....
Unaware of the creeping danger Ira was laying on her bed and chatting with Chahna playfully, "Chahna, you know what happened today? I fought with a lion! This was my first time seeing a live lion and I even killed it! If I didn"t, I certainly would have been killed."
Ira was so excited that she kept on explaining things to Chahna in detail.
Chahna didn"t know how to react, but she sat beside Ira and listened to her stories patiently.
