(Queen Dorah's chamber).
She was restless, more than ever. She strolled down and up her room thinking of her next move. Avni entered and bowed down.
'' Where is he?! It's being more than hour since I sent you to get Faruk?! Now you have come back without him?! ''.
'' I looked for him everywhere your highness. I couldn't find him. But when I was coming. But when I was coming back here....I then saw him entering the court with his father ''.
'' What?!...What are they going to do? ''.
'' I don't know ''.
'' I am not going to let Faruk destroy everything I have worked hard all this years to built...no! I can't allow him to make any mistake right now that things are going just the way I like it ''.
(They both rushed out of the chamber together).
(On the walkway).
Kushi was walking towards Rishi's chamber when she bumped into her. Rishi grabbed hold of Kushi and the both fought each other playfully like kids.
'' You rascal! I should have known this was your plan all along! All along! ''.
'' Hey relax..okay? I was only helping you admit your feelings for him ''.
'' I have already admitted that ''.
'' But you never did it in front of him. Now it's official...yeeyyy! ''.
'' You know how nervous u get when I am close to him...how could you do this to me you idiot! ''.
Suddenly, the royal court bell started banging loudly. Rishi and Kushi saw servants rushing passed them on their heels towards the court. They tried talking to any of them but no one would stop to listen to what they had to say as they were in a hurry to get to the court and not to get into trouble. They then saw
Queen Sheena walking towards them and they stopped them.
'' This is not the time Rishi....we need to get to the court now! ''.
'' But can't you at least brief us about a little of what is going on mother ''.
'' It looked like Prince Faruk went to make a report to the king. That's all I heard...now let's go ''.
(In the royal court).
The king was seated first because he was super upset about what had happened. Rishi and the others entered and went to take their positions in their seats. Kushi went back to join the servants standing at the entrance in silence. All faces was on Prince Faruk as his face was bruised up and he looked beaten mercilessly. Prince Majid and his friends entered the chamber and took air positions. He slowly sat on a golden chair at his father's right hand side and relaxed. Rishi's seat was opposite Majid's seat but she was facing Queen Sheena on the grand floor. Princess Lakshmi sat besides her mother with an absolute worried face. Queen Sheena realised this and was scared the meeting had something to do with her as well. As everyone was finally seated,the king raised his hand.
'' Let the court begin ''.
'' Okay tour highness ''. The spokesperson adjusted himself. '' A complaint has being levelled against one of the servants by Prince Faruk. Guards, bring the accused into the court ''.
'' Oh my goodness... Oh please lord,let all this end soon. I can't bare to see Raj in any pain ''. Princess Lakshmi thought and angrily turned to stare at Prince Faruk.
'' This is all so wrong! I swear,I will teach Faruk a bitter lesson on this so well! I hope this report of a thing is not what am thinking ''. Queen Dorah thought.
(Two guards entered the court with Raj in their arms. He was handcuffed in chains and threw at the feet of the king. Prince Faruk smirked. The king sniffed, looking at Raj with rage. Princess Lakshmi was having endless scare and screwing her hands in anxiety. Wondering what exactly what Prince Faruk told their father).
'' Tour highness, what has happened? What did the guard do? That is Princess Lakshmi's personal guard right? ''. Queen Sheena asked.
'' Yes he is ''. The king turned his face to look at Lakshmi in anger. '' Lakshmi!!! ''.
(Princess Lakshmi quickly got ti her feet,swallowing saliva and sweating).
'' Father? ''.
'' How could you do this Lakshmi? Is that the values tour mother instilled into you?...and you,this filthy guard and you...aaah am disgusted ''.
(Queen mother and Queen Sheena were shocked. Queen Sheena stood up,faced Lakshmi with questioning eyes).
'' What is this Lakshmi? What is tour father....
'' No need to ask her! Because I am going to tell you everything. Prince Faruk,my eldest son,please get up ''.
(Prince Faruk got up with bruises on his face and pretentiously moaned in pain).
'' Faruk came to me this morning and made a report. He was hit by Lakshmi's personal guard. And the reason is, my own servants have being committing abomination in the palace. This guard,is having a secret relationship with Lakshmi all this time! ''.
'' Oh my goodness! ''. Queen Sheena felt a shock in her heart and fell back into her seat.
'' Mother! ''.
'' And also had a relationship with Lakshmi's personal maid...what was her name again? ''.
'' Charu...father ''. Prince Faruk answered.
(All the elders and priests present were shocked).
'' And this guard had gotten Charu pregnant. And sent her away from the palace in secret. And Lakshmi, the Lakshmi who me I thought was innocent, helped them do this..and didn't mind continuing the relationship. And when Faruk found out and tried reprimanding her,the guard hit him ''.
'' That is not true father! ''. Princess Lakshmi shouted, her mother got up and slapped her off.
'' Shut up now and listen to tour father! I am very ashamed of you now ''.
'' That's enough mother! '' Prince Majid got up and went closer to Lakshmi who embraced him tightly and buried her face in his chest.
'' You cannot be defending her Majid. This is an abomination ''. The king said.
'' Has any of you tried hearing the guard's side of the story? ''. Prince Majid asked.
'' But...what are you talking about Majid? Are you saying that am lying? That what I said is not valid enough? ''. Prince Faruk jumped in.
'' I don't know...brother. But everyone has rights. So you all either let the guard speak or we all depart from this court... or? ''.
'' Okay fine. What has the accused got to say in his defense before his punishment is given to him? ''.
'' I am innocent tour highness. I hit Prince Faruk,yes. But that is because he hit Princess Lakshmi first! ''.
'' Yes father! Faruk is the fa...
(Just then,Jimmy got to his feet in confidence. Majid was shocked and the rest of their friends were shocked).
'' I am sorry Majid. I can't hide the truth anymore.. I just couldn't control....
'' Stop that shit Jimmy! What's all this. What are you trying to prove here? When did you arrive in the kingdom to impregnate a woman? ''.
'' Well...we are just close to three days then it'll be a month since we arrived here right? ''.
'' So? ''.
'' I got to know the maid...like threw weeks ago,and I fell in love with her. Well,one thing led to another and....
'' What...that's unbelievable! ''. Prince Faruk shouted in rage.
'' Believe what you want people. But am a foreigner, and I don't know that some of tour rules says that no sex before marriage.
(Prince! Majid chuckled and scratched his head in disbelieve. He turned to look at his father).
'' Father.. I...well,look,am sorry okay? He is a foreigner, you should just let this go ''. He looked back at Jimmy and whispered into his ears. '' Fuck you man! I am saving your ass,you owe me big! ''.
'' Well...if that's the truth an...fine. But the guard will still be punished for laying a hand on the Prince. And Lakshmi, get ready. I am getting you married at once ''.
'' Noooo! Father please I.....
'' Enough! The court is dismissed! Majid,make sure to get tour friend prepared. We don't give birth out of wedlock here. He should get his family in London ready to come get married to the dungeon. Lakshmi's tears fell from her eyes and she quickly rushed to Majid and hugged him from the back. Majid turned to her and caressed her face and hair with care.
'' Save me Majid. Please brother, you cannot allow father to get me married. I....
'' Shhhh...I've got this alright? ''.
'' Are you sure Majid... Are you....
'' Who do you love then? ''.
(Lakshmi looked down in shyness and Majid chuckled. She turned her head to look at Raj who was being taken away and Majid realised).
'' Guards! Let him go ''.
'' But my Prince....
'' It's an order. Let him go now,and get out ''.
(The guards obeyed, bowed down and let Raj go. The court had departed completely and it was left with Majid's friends and Lakshmi with Raj. Raj quickly rushed to Majid's feet and touched his feet. Majid moved away and made him stand up and closer to Lakshmi).
'' You love my sister huh? ''
'' My Prince.. I.....
'' Yes..or no? ''.
'' Yes....
'' Then take her to her chamber. She looked tired. And come back and tell me how you two want tour wedding to be ''.
(Majid laughs as Lakshmi cheerfully embraced him and later left with Raj).
'' Now Jimmy,you have got a lot of explaining to do. What was all this about? ''.
'' I think you should let your sister explain better to you Majid ''. Jimmy walked closer to his ear and whispered. '' Your brother is a monster man,beware of him ''.
(He said and left with the rest while Majid pondered on this with astonishment).
(Queen Dorah's chamber).
She slapped Faruk and he fell on her bed. He looked ashamed and heart broken with the final judgement and he had no idea of what to say to Queen Dorah. He knew he had screwed up this time and she had every right to act that way.
'' So tell me. Who is the father? Is it the foreigner, or you? ''
'' Me. I swear none of this would have happened mother. If my plans had worked last night,Charu would have being killed by today and the court wouldn't have happened ''.
'' And what happened? Why didn't you just kill her? ''.
'' Shiv said that,someone hit him from behind when he was about doing it. And that was it. He just collapsed mother. Forgive me mother, I was just so restless and desperate. Now,all out dreams are crashing ''.
'' No ones dreams will crash Faruk. It was Savitri who hit your guard. She came here this morning to threaten me with Charu's pregnancy. I don't know why that foreigner has taken the responsibility. But it all boils down to one thing. He also knows about your motive for Majid. And if Majid finds out that you hate him,he will never trust you. And if I try to use black magic to control your father right now...then that stupid priest Chanakher will find out and announce it. Now we are staxked. All we need is to wait for some more time to make plans. For now,you,my son,has to look for Charu and end her life. Because a soon to be king, will be remove from the throne if he rapes women and make them pregnant for no reason, and if the Jhansi kingdom hears about this,then you will be disgraced and tour marriage with Ragah will be canceled. I will practice magic tonight to trace where Charu is. Then you can end this okay? ''.
'' What we do with Savitri mother? ''.
'' Leave her to me as well ''.
(Maiden's chamber).
Savitri sat on her bed,looking in her plans and remembered twenty five years ago when she removed the necklace from Queen Meerah and got that burn.
'' If my daughter is no longer alive and am here am of no use. What happened in the court today,proved that Queen Dorah and Prince Faruk had everything under their control. And who is even going to believe a common maid like me if I try to accuse them? And I don't want to die without saving the royal family from those two devils. Even though this might also be dangerous to my own life,I will have to find the pot Queen Meerah's soul was hidden in,and free her spirit. The priest already told us twenty five years ago that,if her soul is set free,then we shall all die. Well,I will love to die with Queen Dorah together, I will set Queen Meerah's soul free,she has being trapped for twenty five years. I will free her,she will kill us all..then it will be a done deal.....
