Chapter 108 - New Friend

Taika went inside the room along with Amar and fell on the bed weakly.

"Master" Amar shouted anxiously.

Taika raised his hand saying that he was fine but the student went to get some water and passed it to him. Taika drank the water slowly and lay on the bed.

"Master, what happened?" Amar asked worriedly.

"Amar, I am fine. I used my power recklessly this time to save you all." Taika' voice came out slowly and weakly.

"Master. What are you talking about?" Amar asked with confusion. His master is fine till now and throws those people away.

"Listen. Today the people whom you met are most dangerous and on top of that you argued with them."

Taika paused to take some breaths and said " Alert our students to don't leave this ground until I say. Make sure no one goes out of our place. Especially you Amar"

Amar brows creased with confusion and asked "Master. I know they are dangerous people but why do we need to be scared of them? We are not under them?"

"Silly, you don't know about them. My guess is something is wrong with the King. So for the time being they won't hurt us but be careful from now on." Taika informed me while trying his best to speak normally.

"Ok master, I will keep that in mind. Please take a rest" Amar said worriedly.

Taika nodded slowly and soon he fell into darkness. Amar stood there for sometime and left the room to implement the Taika orders.

Meanwhile in the Jasmine Kingdom, maira shows the guestrooms to the ministers of IRIS. Later she took Mahi with her to show the room.

Maira and Mahi entered the room and showed her inside. Maira and Mahi were facing each other and Mahi anxiously looked at Maira.

Maira sensed the anxiousness in her and asked with a smile "What's the matter sir?".

"Ahh.. Nothing, your highness" Mahi said with a weak smile.

"Please don't hesitate to ask anything, Sir," Maira informed.

Mahi smiled and replied "Please call me Mahi, Your Highness. I feel happy in that way"

Maira looked at Mahi for a few seconds and smiled.

"Umm.. Your Highness. Can.. Can I hug you?" Mahi asked nervously.

Maira was startled by the sudden request. Mahi sensed the change in maira behaviour and hurriedly replied.

"Please don't take my words in the wrong way, Your High.." Mahi words cut in her throat when Maira suddenly hugged her affectionately.

Mahi was startled by the sudden hug and took time to compose and replied back to the hug. They both hug like the friends they met after longtime.

"Your High..."

"It's Maira. Please call me Miara"

Mahi looked at maira with surprise and shock. It took a few seconds to digest the maira words..

"Your Highness. I am honored by your words but i don't dare to call you by your name" Mahi replied.

"I Know it is sudden but I want to become friends with you. Is that fine Mahi?" maira asked while observing the mahi reactions.

"If you say so. Then it's fine Your.. Maira" Mahi said with a smile.

Both of them laughed.

"Okay. Take rest mahi.We will meet later. I guess you are tired from the journey" Maira suggested.

"No. It is common for me. Your.. Huh.. Maira", mahi said by biting her tongue. It seems harder to call Maira by her name.

"Good. But take a rest for sometime. I will meet you later in the evening" Maira said with a smile.

"Sure. See you later" Mahi nodded and Maira left the room.

Maira felt very happy for getting a friend apart from Abhijit. She had a strong feeling that their friendship will be going to be very strong.

Maira happily went to meet the devil team who will be leaving very shortly. When Mahi entered the room the feeling was quite tense.

Along with Devil team, Shivraj, Aaradhya, Yashoda, Chanukya, and his friend Raj Shekar, sangeetha are all present. The look troubled for some reason.

"What happened?" Maira asked before taking her seat.

"Maira, we have got a small problem" Chanukya was the one who first replied.

"What is that? Grandfather" Maira asked while taking a water glass.

"Indrajit..Indrajit escaped from the dungeon" Chankuya revealed the truth.

Maira stopped in her tracks and looked at Chanukya with confusion. "What? But how?"

"We got a message from the general a few minutes back. Now they all are searching for him, ``Karthik informed.

"Why are the people so careless? They can't even guard one culprit" Maira fumed.

"Maira. Cool down. This is not the time to become angry. We need to find a solution" Shivraj tried to coax maira.

"No father. I can't. I know how dangerous and sly that person is. In Fact you know more about him than I do. Don't you?" Maira asked.

Shivraj looked at maira with pure shock. How could she know that?

"Maira, how??" Shivraj asked with bewilderment.

Maira sighed and said "I deduced from a few incidents father. He seems distracted when he fought with me and one time when i met him personally out of anger he warned me using your name"

"When did you meet him without knowing us?" Chanukya asked

"Just before the war" Maira replied as a matter of fact.

Everyone looked at the maira with eyes filled with shock and surprise. After knowing the person who fought with her father and still tried to act with that brave and courageous heart. Maira set another example of a real queen.

"I want to kill that person right there and then but I want to give father that chance. I want to make him die slowly and steadily while realising his own deeds." Maira's voice turned colder.

"That fool thought we tried to poison him with food and tried to avoid it but actually I poisoned the water," Maira said with a smirk.

Again everyone looked at her with awe. Maira has so many tricks under her sleeve.

"But we need to catch him before he leaves the kingdom," Maira said, causing everyone to come out of their thoughts.

"Yes, but it will take time for us to go back to Lotus Kingdom. What if he left our territory before that?" Chanukya asked.

Maira also lost in her thoughts for finding a solution to the problem.

"I have an idea," Maira informed everyone.
