Meanwhile in Lotus Kingdom, everyone is panicking and the situation is ominous. All the guards are standing in front of the general.
Fear and guilt was obvious on their faces and no one dared to utter a word. Few minutes before another batch of soldiers entered the dungeon.
They looked at the soldier who was standing in front of the cell without moving and went near to know the reason. When they shook the person he fell to the ground making soldiers alert.
They immediately searched inside the prison and got to know that Indrajit is missing and within minutes the general assembled everyone to capture the indrajit.
"Listen Everyone. He didn't go so far with his condition so we need to capture him."
"Don't let him escape this kingdom. Make the security ighten and inform everyone near the borders to check thoroughly each and every person" General commanded.
"Aiye. General"
"Now, let's disperse and capture that culprit before dusk" the General roared.
Everyone hastily moved from there in search of Indrajit who was already moving inside the woods as fast as he could.
Indrajit knows that they will find him any minute. Before that he needs to move out of this border and save his life.
As a general he knows the shortcuts and escaping routes of these kingdoms. He fastened his speed towards the border.
His plan is to move out of the kingdom's borders without anyone's notice. For this he needs to change his appearance.
He needs to reach any nearby village and get the clothes and materials he needs. Indrajit is determined to leave this place.
Maira sent off the vimal personally as a token of gratitude for Prince Rishi. Maira handed the letter to Vimal beforehand to pass the message to rishi.
After sending vimal maira went towards the palace court for attending the meetings. Maira went near the court and the guard announced Maira's arrival.
Maira sat in her position and waited for the King's arrival. Maira apologized to Shivraj and Aaradhya for her rude behaviour previously and requested them to think about her words.
Shivraj and Aaradhya felt at ease with their daughter's sensibility and gave thought to her words and their behaviour towards her started changing.
"The King of Jasmine Shivraj Rathod along with Queen Aardhya has arrived. Everyone stand up and show your sincerity to the King and Queen."
Guards' voices cut off the thoughts of Miara and she stood up to show her gratitude. After that everyone seated and soon the meeting started.
Maira listened to the discussions carefully and suggested her thoughts or opinions on the matters.
One of the ministers stood up and started reporting. Maira understood that he is the minister who looks into agriculture and people welfare matters.
Maira got to know that the people are suffering a lot due to drought these days and the situation is very dire. And also the price for the crops is also very low in the market.
"Everyone listened to the issue.Please let your thoughts out for this matter" Shivraj announced.
Everyone fell into deep thought. Maira stood up to speak about this issue.
"Your Majesty. Please allow me to say a few words on this" Maira requested for which shiveraj nodded his head in approval.
"In my point of view. We need to dig a few wells and make canals from the river. We can't let this situation prolong further"
"And for the matter of price we need to let farmers decide their own price for their crops."
Maira looked at the ministers who were shocked by her words. But she turned towards shivraj and informed.
"For this I requested your majesty to allocate a huge amount for farmers. With this money we will dig a few wells where water content is present and make some plans to get river water available for farming. And for market price if you allow I will form a team and look into this personally." Miara stated.
"Princess Maira, but if we allocate a huge amount of money for farmers then we can't import some luxury items from other kingdoms" one minister raised his voice.
"And also what does princess maira mean by letting farmers choose their own price? For a long time we are the ones who are deciding the price for the crops" another minister raised his concern.
Maira looked at the minister who is really worried about luxury items more than people suffering and another minister who is worrying about his loss of power in public.She smirked at those people before replying.
"Your Majesty, for our foreign affairs minister's concerns, luxury items are more important to you than our people's suffering. This is what you want to convey to the minister?" Maira asked.
"Your majesty, that is not.."
Before the minister spoke, Maira cut him.
"Your Majesty, for our finance minister's concern, letting people decide their price for their own hard work is sin. This is your thought, right minister?" Maira again inquired.
"Princess ma.. Maira. Your.. Your Majesty that is not i mean"
"Hoo. so that is also not your thoughts" Maira gasped.
Shivraj and aaradhya are amused by their daughter's ability and their heart oozes with happiness.
Both ministers' faces turn red with embarrassment. Maira, satisfied by the outcome, turned towards shivraj and spoke again.
"Your Majesty, What the ministers are saying is correct. We need to think about that also. But" Maira trailed off.
Both ministers and the people in the court were stunned by her words. One minutes she is roasting and another minute she is supporting them.
"But, more than luxury items, our people's hunger is important. We can survive without luxury goods but we can't survive without food."
"So on this accord our top most priority is to feed our people, not decorate our kingdom. Your Majesty please think about this. We can afford luxury items next year but we can't be hungry for more than a week" Maira said politely.
"Your Majesty, for the matter of deciding prices. I want to ask our ministers the ornaments, the clothes,and even the footwear they are wearing, all bought from vendors only right. Then who is deciding the price for that?"
"I think his majesty leaves these kinds of things in the hands of people to ensure independence and enjoy their hard work. Then why not let farmers decide their price?" Maira questioned.
All the people in the court fell into deep thought and the agriculture minister's face was filled with great admiration and pride for Maira.
"Princess Maira." Shivraj's words interrupted everyone's thoughts.
"The budget for farmers' well being is granted and holds the purchase of luxury items." Shivraj stated.
"And for the price for crops.I am leaving it in your hands Princess Maira. Implement your thoughts and prove to us your words. If you are not going to achieve it then i will cancel that law and we will proceed like before" Shivraj stated.
"Thanks for your generosity, Your Majesty. I will try my best to fulfil my duty" Maira said with a bow.
"The meeting ended here"
Everyone stood up and bowed before the King and Queen and dispersed.
