Rose Kingdom
In the king's court
"Your Majesty.. Leader Indrajit has been held as captive in Lotus Kingdom" One of the messengers informed the King.
"What do they think of us? How dare they keep one of our people captive?" One of the ministers raised his voice in the court.
"Yes. Your majesty. We need to show them our power or else those unworthy impotent people will think we are small puppets in their hands", another minister voiced out his opinion.
Like that all the ministers are suggesting their opinions and the court is filled with loud chatter.
The king is sitting on the throne wearing a golden crown studded with several diamonds and he is having a muscular body with great features. His eyes are black in color and they bear no emotions. They are pitch dark. He has a handsome face but a devilish mind. His hands are stroking the black panthers' backs soothingly which are resting beside the throne.
The king raised his hand and all the ministers stopped talking and the court became silent. Everyone held their breath when the king's eyes gazed through all of them. Those eyes are sharper than an eagle.
Everyone fears to speak to him by directly looking into those eyes. They are like black holes that contain a mystery that no one can unravel. Ever since he ascended the throne no one dared to go against his words. He is like a calm sea but no one expects what will happen in the next minute. He is the one and only dictator for them and his name is Surya Prathap.
Surya Prathap is the king of the Rose Kingdom. He throned as king at the age of 20 after his dad died. Before he took over the throne everything was fine and the kingdom bloomed with happiness.
But when Surya Pratap became the King, everything changed and happiness was replaced by fear. He is a man with no emotions and feelings. He didn't care for power, wealth, luxury and anything that a man can touch. He cared for nothing. He only cares for Fear. The panic in the eyes of people, he cares about. He is the true Evil God emerged from hell. Even hell also gets scared by him.
"Do you think I am a statue here?" King Surya Pratap asked calmly but it was not calm to anyone.
No one responded, all bent their heads and everyone silently prayed to God for an escape from there.
"Come on! Speak out!! Just a minute before everyone was arguing with rage, aren't you?? Then why aren't your mouths opening right now?" he smiled.
That smile sends shivers to their spine.
"Looks like I need to teach a lesson to everybody here. Everyone forgot their manners", King said while shaking his head.
"Since everyone is accepting their mistakes, I am going to punish you all which is to send your children to join the Black army. In fact, consider it as a fortune to serve your King and your motherland" he said.
Everyone's souls left their bodies when they heard the name Balck Army. The one who joined the black army never comes back home. No one knows clearly about the black army. Only the rumours about that army are heard everywhere that it is like sending people to hell.
"So what did you say about Indrajit?" the king asked the messenger.
The messenger shivered when he addressed him and replied stammering,"Th...Th...The leader Indrajit is held captive by Lotus.. Lotus Kingdom.. Your Majesty!!"
"Bad news?? So it seems someone is trying to declare a war against me by keeping my man as a captive. Hmm.. Interesting.." King Surya Pratap said looking at the messenger.
Suddenly an eagle entered the courtroom and rested on the shoulder of the King, Surya.
"What news did you bring my dear Dega?" Surya asked while taming the eagle head.
The eagle said something to the king and all the ministers didn't understand.
"TWINS??" King said it out.
Everyone looked at each other and chose to remain silent.
After the eagle left the court King remained silent for some time and no one dared to breathe fearing it may disturb the king.
"It seems everyone thinks I am dumb and silent. How dare they hold my people as captive. Huh??" King suddenly said, causing everyone to look towards him.
After acquiring Jasmine kingdom, Surya didn't bother to acquire any other kingdom because no one dared to go against him after knowing Jasmine is defeated in the hands of the rose kingdom.
He also didn't bother to conquer them because he successfully planted fear in everyone's heart by acquiring Jasmine Kingdom and he didn't find any worthwhile candidate to fight with. He lost interest in war.
In Fact he is waiting for an opponent like Shivraj.
"Ok let's wait and see what they are up to. I didn't get to enjoy it for years" King said while shaking his head.
"Let's awake the BLACK ARMY" He said with a devilish smirk.
Everyone in the court shivered when he suddenly wanted to wake the black army.
"After a long time I am going to enjoy the show" Surya laughed by throwing his head back and his laughter echoed in the hall.
Unknowing to everyone one person left the hall silently and started his journey towards the lotus kingdom.
