Shanka and Kala went towards the king room, Shanka is observing the surroundings carefully but a smile is plastered on his face masking his alertness.
They stood before the giant wooden doors, the guards opened the door and they both entered the room.
Shanka sensed strong energy in the room and his forehead was covered with sweat. He looked around to find a few people who were in soldiers' uniform looking at him without any expression.
'What is this?' Shanka thought to himself.
Kala stopped in his tracks and turned around only to see Shanka was drenched with sweat. Kala's eyes narrowed and looked at him alarmingly.
"What happened?" Kala's stoic voice brought Shanka back from his thoughts.
"Apologize general. It seems the person in the room is quite powerful, it makes me suffocated" Shanka replied.
Kala smirked and said "Of course, he is"
"My king is the most powerful person on this earth and you need to take care of him," Kala stated.
Shanka's eyes widened with shock and asked "Kin.. King, General, what are you saying?"
Kala is stood between Shanka and Surya so he is not able to see Surya face and earlier he is busy in concentrating his surroundings.
"Yes, you need to treat the King of the Rose Kingdom," Kala stated firmly.
Shanka's eyes widened but he smirked inside and thought 'So it is true. The King was truly injured. Not bad my efforts didn't go waste'
"General, Apologise for my rudeness, I will check on the king tomorrow. I can't withstand more than this here."
Shanka bowed slightly and added "But, I will surely try to cure the king with all my might. Please give me an honour to serve the Great King of Rose Kingdom"
Kala thought for sometime and nodded his head in approval.
"Thank you General, I will take my leave" Shanka said and left the room.
Meanwhile, Maira went towards Ashmita and checked her. Ashmita eyelids quivered and she opened her eyes slowly.
"Ashmita" Maira called.
Ashmita turned her eyes towards the source of direction and said with a hoarse voice "Sis.."
Maira elated and helped Ashmita to sit on the bed properly, and handed her a glass of water to ease her dry throat.
Ashmita took small sips to ease her sore throat. Once her throat felt better she handed the glass to maira.
Maira placed the glass on the bed side table and asked "How are you feeling now? Any discomfort?"
"No sis, I am fine but what happened? I feel like I fought a battle for a long time" Ashmita replied.
Maira took her hands and said "Yes, Indeed you won a battle"
Ashmita brows creased with confusion, maira explained her about the whole thing to Ashmita. Ashmita's mouth gaped with shock, it felt like a dream.
"Really sis, What you said about our bonding is true?" Ashmita couldn't believe her ears.
"Yes, It is true" a manly voice interrupted their conversation.
Ashmita turned around and saw Abhijit who was smiling at them "Oh my brother in.. I mean Abhijit."
Maira blushed and Abhi felt happy after hearing that word, "How are you Ashmita? Did you feel anything different?"
"Oh yeah, I feel like a new person and my energy also increased a lot, but '' Ashmita trailed off.
"But.. is there any discomfort?" Maira asked worriedly.
"Yes, I am not feeling my back due to long sleep and I am hungry" Ashmita said with a pout.
Maira felt relieved after hearing her words and smiled "Let me help you to clean up and in the meantime the food will be arranged Princess Glutton"
"Okay Princess Maira. Now come and help me to stand up" Ashmita played.
Abhi felt happy to see maira smile and went to inform servants to prepare food. After that he went to inform everyone about Ashmita's recovery.
Shivraj and Aaradhya elated after hearing news from Raghu. Abhi informed Raghu and Raji before going to inform Oak. Raghu told Raji to take food to their room and he came to inform shivraj.
They didn't wait for a second and went to see Ashmita. Raji also took food to Ashmita's room happily.
Maira helped Ashmita to freshen her up and to change her clothes. Ashmita now feels a bit better and she can sense her body.
Raji knocks and enters the room after getting permission. She placed the food on the table and served it on a plate before giving it to Ashmita.
"How are you princess?" Raji asked with a hint of worry.
"I am fine, Raji Ma. Just call me Ashmita '' Ashmita replied with a smile.
Raji felt happy and nodded her head. She never thought that these 2 princesses would call her mother.
While Ashmita is having her hearty meal a series of knocks are heard and when she lifts her head a smile blooms over her face.
"Father, Mother" Ashmita excitedly stood up but maira held her.
"Eat first," Maira reprimand.
Shivraj and aaradhya also suggested to sit down and eat first before talking. Ashmita did as they said and everyone in the room started piling her plate with food.
After some time, "Enough, I can't take it anymore," Ashmita said with a weary expression.
"Seriously, if I eat like this I will become a pig," Ashmita added.
"What's there to become? You are already a pig right" Maira commented.
"WHAT??" Ashmita roared.
Everyone in the room laughed by throwing their heads back. How long does the laughter echo in this dead palace?
Aaradhya became emotional and went near to Ashmita and hugged her tightly. Ashmita smiled with content and hugged her back.
"Mom, I am fine. Don't cry." Ashmita consoled Aaradhya who was crying very hard.
