Rewari Kingdom, Khera Village, 15th March 1557
After leaving the soap manufacturing process in the hands of the sarpanch and her daughter, Aditya hurried back to the kingdom's palace.
As he made his way through the corridors, his heart beat faster. He sighed hard, never imagining he'd be nervous again about entering his own royal chamber.
Upon reaching his assigned office, his heart skipped a beat at the sight of Meenakshi, who was still waiting for his arrival. She greeted him with a smile and respect, "Greetings, Prince. I thought you wouldn't come for some personal reasons."
But her eyes betrayed her demeanor. There was a pain of betrayal in Meenakshi's eye that Aditya understood all too well.
