Chereads / A Benevolent / Chapter 21 - EXAMINATION DAY

Chapter 21 - EXAMINATION DAY

The next day I waited for her to come I waited nearly fifteen minutes, same flute sound came but today the music piece is more melodious and more beautiful. As if the romantic song is played in the background of the hero and heroine while doing romance. It is beautiful and melodious as expected, it is played by the Moana. Today she is looking happy and she bowed to me.

She said, "Your majesty, sorry to make you wait, I was just curious to know your name, hence I came. Rudra understood it is not the case, she want to talk to me about something and she may be started loving me in her heart. But he stayed calm, how is your hand now? 

 I touched her hand and saw today she is wearing a beautiful golden bracelet in one hand and a bangle on another hand. Her hands are more beautiful than yesterday, he feels like kissing it but he doesn't dare to do that.

 He hold her hand and made her sit on a rock on the river bank. She said," Can you tell me your name now so that I can leave if soldiers come I will get punished. Rudra said, "I will tell you my name if you tell me why you are crying yesterday and playing sad music.

 Today why you played the romantic melody and why did you come to me? You just don't want to know merely my name, is it not? She becomes a bit hesitant but may also feel that I ask only questions there are no answers from my side. Even though she felt, I will not stop my curiosity.

 She continued," You will be knowing the test that is going to be held next week. In that test, the woman had to fight with the male and if the male won then he will choose the same partner whom he fight, if females won she have to go with three options, chose the same person who she lost, or do another fight with the men who won in the battle. The third option is to choose two men and make them fight until one got dead.

 I said, it is a good thing, why you are worried about it? See the men don't have any option they have to choose the same partner whether they lose or won. She said it is not like that, men can choose women who won the battle, and he is given an option that he can choose the girl whom he won or the one who lost.

But why you are so worried about it? Everyone is given the choice to choose a life partner. She said I do not want to marry this soon. I am just twenty I want to explore the outside world and the people, and how they look and live.

 I want to travel with him to distant places, from here. Once I was playing the music I saw two men lying here in this bank, he looks very nice, that is the first time I am seeing a man. My sisters and aunts told me that he is the male form of a human. I was seeing him throughout the night. But when I came to see him the next day. They are beaten by our men and taken inside the jungle. 

 After that, I never saw him. I was waiting for him yesterday but he does not show off. Rudra felt this story is somewhat familiar, I saw the river more keenly. It is the same river bank where we are resting after bidding farewell to trolls. It's already a year passed. The days past of my life came like a movie.

 She called me and continued, "Prince can you take me to that person after the test, I cannot love him but at least find him, and introduce you to him. In our customs marriage is not child play, but I cannot break the rules. You have to take me to him just want to tell him that he is a handsome guy. 

 I asked her," You saw two people but how do I know who is the person whom you loved? Without any clues How do you recognize him? Moana said," I saw his face when moonlight falls on him. I kept a magical mirror in the water. When he is washing his face the reflection should be captured by it.

 I asked," How did you arrange a fight with me because the participant's names are not revealed. They are selected by the selection committee members, how you can trick them. She said I will arrange everything you just need not have to worry about all that.

 Now tell me your name," It is already late I have to go. Rudra said," My name is Rudra," she said may I call you by name,' He said, "You can call me by that name. Rudra is happy but he doesn't know whether she saw him or Mahesh. As he moved to the room, he fell asleep soon. The practicing of exams and meeting Moana is the daily practice Rudra doing until the day of the test. They planned everything but still, Rudra is doubtful and confused because he was worried that maybe the person is Mahesh.

 Finally, the day of the test came, The written test is easy, it is like a test that we do before joining the military. But my heart is beating fast, I am not worried about the results, but if I cleared then the second round may not go according to Moana's plans, then it is a big problem.

The results were declared and I am in the list of top ten. I felt lucky that all six princes are qualified for the next round. Four others were also selected. Now the second round of fight competition is held in one arena filled with people. 

 Both the teams are standing face to face, we men are given a knight dress. The opposite side team is given a maroon knight robe but their face is covered with a veil. I understood, that the team is not men, they are all women as Moana told because the lips have lipstick makeup. I saw my opponent. She looks different from Moana, and the fight begins. My opponent is very sharp and quick-witted. I was a bit lethargic because I don't want to fight with women. I was continuously dodging her attack but she is not giving up. She said," Don't be merciful or make me win I am told to fight with you by Princess, then only she will join in a few seconds. 

 We twist and turned and change the position, and in that midst, someone attacked me I hold her hands and understood it is Moana. I felt relief and started fighting like a lion running behind his prey.

 After some time, I removed her veil, with the sword, and took a good look into her face, and finally, I become satisfied, but someone attacked me from behind I protected her and cut his throat he died on the spot. 

I am declared the winner and Moana is very happy, that her plan become successful. The plan is to make Rudra fight with another girl. After the first half they turn around and change their partners, and Rudra will won her and that will makes them a couple, and they marry each other and Rudra takes her to the outside world to show her things and they both meet the person who is sleeping on the bank of the river.

In this way the test is over, I saw a feeling of pride on his majesty's face, as if he is expecting Moana to be my wife. I saw a real feeling of being a father. Mahesh got another daughter of his majesty but I am not able to see who will be the bridegroom of both of my sisters. After the test even though I am tired I still went to see her. Now I am curious who is my sister's bridegroom. I asked Moana to help me with that. She readily agreed and after some time we part ourselves. My friends finally our hero got someone to be loved. 

 Who will be his sisters? If the ten persons complete their mission? For more updates stay tuned with me. Kindly comment if you like the story. Any loving scenes can be described in the comments. Hope you all like this story
