When he looked around and saw that he has received the attention of everyone present he continued "We are the people of faith league and Mughal honors. Our supreme leader is in Jabalpur and he is one of the most powerful people of 8 main leaders of the ruling committee."
Leader Prajapati said, "Aren't you talking about Taimur Khan? Why don't you name him and continue? There is no need to be mysterious."
That person who was supposedly from faith league said "Leader Prajapati is really frank as we have heard. It's a taboo to use his name, this everyone knows. We only call him supreme leader."
Leader Prajapati interrupted "Taboo or not, it does not make a difference for us. We are the people of spiritual group and Singrauli is the capital city of spiritual group." He waited for a moment and the continued "So, you are working on the orders from some people sitting in other cities. I also know the Mughal league is in many cities and you might also have some help from Banaras and Lucknow cities."
That person who was speaking said "We do not wish to hide this fact. Yes, we also have relations with people in these cities. It is simply that they wish to bring Singrauli also in democratic ruling cities. Also, we need people to move and settle in less populated cities."
"Singrauli city is already saturated population wise and we can only help new people to create new villages to settle and be managed by Singrauli city as our other Villages are being managed," Bhadra interjected.
Another person from the group said "It looks like you are trying to isolate people by creating new villages. We have seen that Singrauli is not densely populated and we still can at least double the population."
Gauri looked at that person and said "It's not like Singrauli is less populated but we have maintained it this way because we need to maintain peace and order. This also helps people in spiritual practice due to less noise. We also need to maintain plantations and gardens to keep city green and pollution free."
Another person from Mughal League said, "I am from Lucknow and Leader Changez Khan has asked me to give a gift to the future leader of spirituality."
"We also have prepared a special gift for Lady Gauri from the supreme leader from Jabalpur" One person from faith league also interjected.
Leader Prajapati can see the competitive stances of two groups of two places. He smiled and said "After your declaration, I am really interested to know what your gifts might be."
Person from faith league of Jabalpur said "Our leader's son Francis is of the age 20 and is known as a great talent in Jabalpur city and also one of the three princes of protected city. He has already reached the mind awakened stage and his mind power is equal to 200 kg. He has great prospects in future. Our leader has proposed the marriage between Lady Gauri and Prince Francis. It will also elevate the power and status of Lady Gauri."
Mind awakened stage is when the warrior has fully integrated the divine bio-crystal in his mind and can fully utilize his enhanced mind powers. 200 kg of mind power means that warrior can move and raise a 200 kg object in air at the height of 10 meters for the duration of 10 minutes using his own mind power. This is a criteria to measure the power of a warrior who has gone through the divine bio-crystal transplant.
"What a coincidence. Our Prince Akbar of Lucknow has also requested to marry the future spiritual leader. Unlike Jabalpur, our prince is the supreme leader in youths of city and also he is mind awakened and known as a great strategist. He is only 19 this year but he has already led more than ten expeditions against aliens in remote Himalayan regions. It will be honorable for future leader of spirituality to marry our prince and our Leader Changez Khan has also approved this alliance" The person from Mughal Honors put his point.
Leader Prajapati smiled mockingly and said while looking at person of Faith league "I have heard that your Prince Francis has quite a few women. It's really interesting to know that your leader has used such a proposal to disrespect my daughter." And then he turned to the person of Mughal Honors and said "And about that prince Akbar of yours, isn't he the one who massacred a village because they did not provide his entourage proper accommodation and food. A psycho person who does not understand the difficulties of other's, won't he start torturing my daughter on small things. I am really speechless on the fact that you are saying these are your special gifts."
"What special gift? It's more like throwing dirt on the face of a beautiful girl" Abhay could not stop himself from commenting. Gauri could not stop herself from giggling. It seems like she was not at all worried about the proposals being made in front of her.
The person from the faith league are already feeling suppressed by the competitive claim by Mughal honors side. Now the mocking of the Leader Prajapati specially a youth has fired him up. He pointed toward Abhay and said while gritting his teeth "You.. You.... are not even one-tenth of our prince. You are really audacious." People from Mughal honors also looked angry by mocking of Leader Prajapati and comments. Specially the laugh of Gauri made them infuriated.
Leader Prajapati coughed to get the attention of everyone and said "Why don't the Faith league and Mughal honors decide among themselves and come to us with one single proposal. Do you want us to accept one proposal and then become enemy of another group?"
Of course everyone of spiritual group understood the intention of these two groups. They don't want to get caught in any conflict among themselves and wish to subdue spiritual group first. This proposal is just one of the reasons for them to start conflict with spiritual group.
"Don't think that we do not understand your intentions. Your camouflage of presenting us with good conditions has been seen through. Why don't you tell us directly what you want?" Bhadra commented.
One of the senior member of visiting group laughed with hehe and said "Leader of spiritual group really has good people around him. Subordinates who speak on behalf of leader and children who speak up where their elders should speak."
Leader Prajapati smiled smiled "No need to change your tactics. They won't work here. They are not my subordinates but friends. I am a leader because they have asked me to become their leader." He looked lovingly toward Abhay and Gauri and said "And our children are better than us. We believe in them and that is why they are given equal rights as us."
Then the person from faith league said "Who should we discuss our proposal with? Don't tell me that you want me to discuss this with the girl itself? It's a great political decision and she can't handle the consequences."
"Why don't you decide the best one out of your two princes and it will also be convenient for us. I don't think it is our job to decide which one of them is better" Gauri smiled and said.
Abhay curved his lips on what Gauri said and asked "Oh, are you confused about the best one and don't wish to regret it later?"
"If you don't shut up on this topic, I will make you regret for later" Gauri rebuked Abhay.
From their banter people of spiritual group were speechless as they always experience it and the people of visiting group felt annoyed and humiliated and trying to suppress their own expression.
Person from Mughal honors said "You see, we were not able to decide who was the best of the two princes, so we have two choices for Spiritual leader. You are free to select the best candidate for your beloved daughter." This person has pressed on the words best and beloved so as to dominate the discussion.
Gauri looked toward Abhay and her expectant gaze made Abhay smile at her and he winked at her. Abhay went forward and said "Spiritual Leader really cannot determine about this. Why does it matter to us if it's politics or fancy of some arrogant prince? Every person has right to decide their life partner and Gauri herself is too important a person, so of course she will have this right."
The person from faith league said "Who are you kid? I have heard that Leader Prajapati has only one daughter. What right do you have to meddle in this political discussion."
Leader Prajapati coughed and said "So, you people want me to treat the happiness of my daughter as a tool for politics." He mentioned toward Abhay and said "And this boy is someone I have chosen for my daughter. If you know I have only one daughter, then you should also have known about this thing. Or you are so arrogant that you don't care about anything else?" He finally felt his own anger rising. His daughter and her happiness is his main concern and these people have already crossed their limit by proposing and forcing a marriage alliance.
"We have already listened enough from you. Do you people think our boys and girls are used for alliance and they can be sacrificed as we wish? Even as their parent we don't allow our children to be used in decision making even if it is for the peace and safety of the whole world." Bhadra also flared up and said.
"Our leaders are magnanimous enough to offer the terms and willing to form alliance. Do you wish to start a war? Do you think we won't dare to?" A person from the visiting group also raised his voice and said.
Abhay looked at this person who was looking at him with hatred. Abhay has observed this person and he looked proud and was showing his disdain toward the people from spiritual group from the start. This person looked outstanding and has been silent all the time but the way his people were on both sides of him, it shows that this person has an important position.
Abhay smiled mockingly at that person and said "It seems you are very proud of yourself. Do you wish to challenge me? Let us make a bet. Why burn your blood by being angry?"
Gauri came in front of Abhay and said loudly ""STOP" When both sides fell silent, Gauri smiled and continued "I really have a good idea where we can reach on a conclusion on who is more powerful. This will also require no bloodshed."
Then she looked toward Abhay and smiled, he could see the craftiness in her eyes. A mischievous smile was playing on her lips.
