(In the Palace=Queen Dorah's chamber).
She was busily walking to and fro for good result. The weather was cold and cloudy. It was already evening and the snake appeared in front of her dead. She bowed down,she was the most disappointed lady in the world by that moment. She screamed loudly in anger and she hard knockings on her door. She quickly took a tray of black powder from her bed and sprinkled it on the snake and made it disappear.
She cleaned her hand and the tears in her eyes and pushed the tray of black powder under her bed. People kept knocking on the door violently, calling her name and asking what as wrong with her. She slowly got to her feet and walked to her door and opened it. The king entered with everyone and he held her waist and slowly took her to her bed. He sat besides her and caressed her hair.
'' What is wrong with you Queen Dorah? We heard you scream...what is going on? ''.
'' I just felt some pains in my abdomen. I am okay now ''.
'' No! We are calling the palace midwife and herbalist to check on you right now ''.
'' No tour highness... I am feeling very sleepy, please let this be. I want to be alone ''.
'' You are expecting my first child, I won't joke with something like this ''.
Since Queen Dorah wanted to get the attention away from herself, she had a great plan to get Queen Meerah in trouble with the king.
'' I can see the royal family is here...except Queen Meerah, does she not care about me? ''.
'' Ooh yes Queen Dorah, you have reminded me that,I have not set my eyes on queen Meerah today..oh,how could I forget? ''.
'' She is meditating my son ''. Queen mother said.
'' But mother, Queen Meerah has being meditating since morning, what kind of meditation is this? ''. Queen Dorah said with an evil smile.
'' Well,the kind of meditation we do when we are not able to have children! ''. Queen mother rudely replied.
'' Mother, what is it?! Why are you talking like that? Queen Dorah is right! What kind of meditation is that? ''. The king angrily said and got to his feet. '' Guards! ''.
(Two guards assembled themselves there).
'' Go to queen Meerah's chamber and let her know I want her here ''.
(Queen Dorah smirked evilly).
'' Don't bother yourselves, I will go and call her myself ''. Queen mother said in fright.
And luckily, the ok Queen entered the cha!Ber with queen who had a plaster on her forehead due to the fall from the donkey,and was wearing a clean pink saree,Queen mother was now calm and she smiled as she received Queen Meerah. Queen Meerah had the necklace Bhavna gave her on her neck and as soon as Queen Dorah saw it,the necklace lighted and shocked her eyes and she screamed.
'' What is it Queen Dorah? Guards, call the midwife and herbalist now!!! ''.
(The guards left).
'' My stomach is hurting ''. She siad and forced to ooenher eyes and looked at Queen Meerah, the necklace shocked her eyes again. '' Please your highness, make them all leave now,I want to be alone here ''.
'' Please mother, you shock excuse us for a bit ''.
'' As you wish son. Get well soon Queen Dorah ''.
(The king looked at Queen Dorah and gave her a loving smile and Queen Dorah screamed the more in anger,Queen Meerah and the Queen Meerah and the queens left the room with the maids and closed the door).
'' Are you okay now? ''.
'' Yes your highness... you didn't have to call the midwife ''.
The midwife and the herbalist entered with the guard and they checked on Queen Dorah and declared her fine. The king gave her a kiss on her forehead and left her to rest. When everyone was out of her chamber, she got to her feet and stood tall and looked into the window.
'' She must have made her wish already, and she's happy... but the game is not yet over..no! And that necklace, I wonder were she got it. I can't look at her when it's on her neck,I have to find a way to get it off her neck. You are not going to win over me Queen Meerah, I went for enough to swallow that magic stone so that the king does everything I say,but as soon as you entered, everything got destroyed and the king is interested in you again. I will be one step ahead of you no matter what! You will never become the mother of the crowned prince, by hook or crook,I will get you! ''...
