Your Royal highness, both of you inspired so many girls in and out of this kingdom to be brave and courageous. So on behalf of all those girls I would like to present this portrait" Mahi said with her eyes full of pride and light.
Mahi pulled the cloth down and a series of gasps were heard in the court. Shivraj and aaradhya were also surprised by the painting in front of them.
Mahi looked at maira who was looking at the portrait with tears in her eyes.
"Your Highness, I never saw you in person but I heard of you both. I personally requested Prince Rishi to help me in describing you both."
"Prince Rishi personally assigned a most trusted person to describe both of your features. With his help I am able to draw you. I hope it is quite okay. If you feel like you are not satisfied I will draw you both personally" Mahi asked with a hint of nervousness.
Maira stood up and bowed a little before saying saying "Thank you, this is the best gift I ever had,"
Mahi stood there like a statue for sometime and came back to senses and bowed back. Maira looked at the portrait again and asked the maid to bring the portrait to her to have a close look at it closely.
Maira traced her fingers on the portrait. Even Shivraj and Aaradhya are shocked by Maira's actions. She never behaved like this but soon they thought that their daughter doesn't have friends with whom she can speak freely.
In the portrait, the drawings of Maria and Ashmita were drawn beautifully and perfectly as they are drawing while looking at their faces directly.
In the painting Maira and Ashmita are facing the people and smiling at them tenderly. The main attraction of the painting is it is colored and the painting is picturesque.
On the top of the portrait something is written in beautiful calligraphy.
"Queens Not Only For Kingdom But Also For Lives " is written and maira traced her fingers on the clappigraphy and her eyes filled with tenderness.
"I heard that His Majesty is planning to declare both royal highness as the queens of this kingdom. So in that memorial I wrote that Your Highness. Hope you like it" Mahi said, causing maira to look at her.
Maira smiled brightly and replied "I love it Sir. And I promise that We both work hard to make these words written on portrait come true"
Mahi smiled at Maira and bowed before going back to her place.
"Your Majesty. Pardon my behaviour. If you grant me permission we want to ask one thing. Please grant us permission to speak, ``the minister vidit asked politely.
Shivraj looked at the ministers for a few seconds and smiled before replying.
"Go ahead"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. We heard that your majesty has 2 princesses. Will you grant us the luck to see another princess of Jasmine? ``the Minister requested.
Aaradhya tensed up with the matter. It is inevitable to show the princess to the others but now the situation is not good. If this news reaches others then there will be consequences.
"I understand your curiosity. But today it is not possible to see her. She is not present in the kingdom at present." Shivraj informed me with a smile.
Ministers' faces fell with the answer. They are curious to meet their rumoured future queen of IRIS but it seems it is not going to be possible.
"Then, we don't dare to ask again. Thanks for your generosity, Your Majesty, ``the Minister bowed.
"Is there anything you want to discuss?" Shivraj questioned.
"No your majesty. We won't hold you any longer. We will take leave from the court Your Majesty" Minister informed and retired.
"Okay, Maira please take care of our guests" Shivraj informed.
"Sure, Your Majesty" Miara bowed.
The court ended with a good note and miara led the way for ministers to rest in their guest palace.
