Ishit hadn't even got to the chamber when Champa came running from behind, calling out for him.
"Young Lord, Young Lord..." she wheezed, doubling over. "Young Lord, Bhadra wants you in the dining hall. Please hurry back."
Ishit frowned. He didn't want to be with the Kalingans anymore. He was afraid that he might not hold himself back and do something that would sever their already fragile relationship. Besides, he had other tasks in the hand.
"What's the matter? " He asked.
"Young Lord, Nidhi ...Nidhi is dead." sobbed Champa.
"What? How? Did Kalingan do something after I left?" The rage boiled up in him. They had gone too far. He needed to seek out his lord father's help. He started back.
"No no..the serpent had already bit her before it attacked you. Her body has turned blue. She is now frothing at the mouth." hurriedly replied Champa as she followed after him.
