Princess Fighter: Search for the Throne

Chapter 100: The End that Leaves (Part 2)

Vayuprastas

Seeing the king's confused expression, Kritika bit her lips to hold back her laughter and continued to speak,

"I intended to seek asylum with Chandragarh early on, when I decided to run away from home. I managed to send him a message about the same. But the response came with a series of instructions, the first of which was to prepare for the escape properly. It was then that I started hoarding precious gems and gems. The post, Chandragarh sent a group of people to me, who helped me stay hidden for twelve months before fleeing to Vayuprastha. The only condition he had in providing assistance to me was that I would never return and stake a claim to the throne of the country."

The king's face paled as he accepted the implication. If what the princess had just said was true, it meant that queen Chandragarh was always eyeing the throne of Sapsindhu. In that case, how could the prince of Saptsindhu emerge victorious this time around, regardless of how things were currently.

Women are a scary species!

Looking at her facial expression, Kritika hid her smile and continued peeling off the orange slices casually.

There was another part of the story that he didn't tell her. That's not the queen's only request...

Saptindhu

Shaurya felt itch in the conspicuous eunuch clothes, but he kept a faint smile on his face. Others have split from him because they play different roles. But eunuchs are the most important pieces in this game and that is why Shaurya is happy to suffer humiliation due to his current appearance.

The plan was simple - infiltrate the palace and kill the king!

Prithvi wants the prince of Sapsindhu to taste his own medicine. Himprayag's troops slowly entered the city and waited for a signal from Ahilya, now in the royal palace of Sapsindhu.

There is one ace that has not been opened until now and it is time to use it. This plan would not work without him.

Shaurya follows the clues on the map and reaches his destination. Knocking on the door gently, he waited for the door to open. Eunuchs were free to move within the palace, regardless of the gender they visited. Moreover, the clothes Shaurya was wearing showed that he was one of the high level eunuchs.

"Your sister sends her love and thanks" Shaurya told the shy beauty in front of him after giving her greetings.

Princess Avantika paled but then recovered quickly and gestured her old servant to stand in the distance.

He looked at her carefully before saying in a cold tone,

"I don't want to leave the palace anymore. My marriage has been arranged as I wish now. Kaj can tell my sister that I won't be able to help her. "

Shaurya frowned at the change of script in front of him. As per the information Abhirath brought from Guruji Prithvi, Princess Avantika would be very willing to help them in return for her freedom.

He did not know about the deal between the two Saptsindhu daughters or the reason he denied it, but right now, it did not matter because he needed it to cooperate, in any way.

Shaurya pretends to look sad, while observing the circumstances around. There are not many staff in this place and they are all women. Moreover, the room where he lived was far from the central part of the palace, almost in an enclosed area.

Thinking fast, Shaurya pretended to fall unconscious and weakly asked for water. Although Avantika looked at him suspiciously, she could not be disrespectful and asked someone to bring her a drink. Avantika is separated from her sister in terms of mental ability and exposure, both of them.

That was the reason the king managed to keep her calm for so long, only with the help of a few strict nannies. Since Shaurya was his eunuch, he managed to get into the princess's room without being stopped by any guards on the way and the palace map helped him reach the right room without looking lost.

As soon as the attendant brought the brass cup in front of him, Shaurya picked it up and splashed water on the woman's face, surprising her. Before he could recover, he shocked him by hitting the hard glass behind his head. Avantika screamed silently as the scene unfolded in front of her.

Shaurya's voice growled while simultaneously, he held the princess' neck in the grasp of her arm.

"This gentle neck won't take more than ten seconds for me to destroy it completely. If you want to live to enjoy your happy married life, do what I say, "he said fiercely.

The servants gathered and looked at the two of them in horror.

"Never think of asking for help, otherwise your beautiful daughter will die and you will also be killed," he warned them.

"Are you ready to work together. Tap my arm once if you agree," he told the princess, who was still strangled.

He patted his arm in fear and Shaurya felt his tears fall on his arm, but he could not be bothered with his current emotions. He told the servants to gather in the small workroom behind the main room and then lock them up.

After he finished, he dragged the trembling young lady along with him.

"You and I are going for a walk. Once we get to that place, all you need to announce is that you are the princess. After that, I'll let you go. I promise," she told him.

Avantika looked at him but there was nothing she could do even if she retracted her words.

.

Royal Palace, Sapsindhu

Princess Avantika thought that she wanted him to take her to the treasurer and said,

"I also don't know the way to the vault and I don't hold any power there either."

Shaurya gave her a smile without excitement and replied,

"Don't worry about your pretty head about where and what. Just do what I ask and your life will be saved. That's all you have to focus on!"

He took out a fruit knife from a plate placed on the table in front of him and carried it to his neck vein,

"Let's go for a walk, Princess!"

Avantika wonders how she can cope with the guards once they see her with her.

Was he stupid enough to think that he would be able to fight so many of them. But, to his surprise, he did not walk towards the main door.

Instead, he dragged her into the innermost room of the room. Holding it with one hand, he tapped on several tiles before pressing an invisible lever. A small section of the stone wall moved inward. Suddenly, a dark passage was seen in front of them.

After spending her entire childhood in this room, Princess Avantika had never seen this happen.

In fact, he didn't even know it existed. How did this stranger know?

Where the hell did they go?

Avantika had no idea how long it had been when they reached the end of that dark passageway.

All the time, Shaurya did not need to use any power to control it. He was more than willing to stay by her side. Without the light, he did not know how they managed not to crash into any place.

He felt Shaurya move his hand against the wall in front of them.

"Close your eyes" he whispered in his ear.

He did it obediently without wondering how and why it was. There is no point in fighting in such a situation. A few seconds later, he felt the earth move and Shaurya put his hand on his lips and walked forward.

"You can open your eyes now. Start walking forward slowly, Your Majesty," as Shaurya said, he moved behind her and he could feel the sharp tip in the middle of her back.

The fruit knife had already sliced the first layer of his skin. He did not dare to make a wrong move and started walking in an unknown corridor. The area was dimly lit but about 100 meters later, the entire topography changed. Now, he was in the most familiar area.

Although he had not visited this place for a long time, how could he not recognize the passageway leading to his father's room. A cold feeling crept into his neck.

Suddenly, Shaurya pushed the knife further into his skin, reminding him to keep his expression neutral. Avantika started sweating.

All along, he had regarded that fellow as a thug. But now he realizes that he is an assassin, with the deadly intention of hurting his father.

NAY! He has to do something. By the time he realized this, they were already standing in front of the large door that opened into his father's room.

If he didn't act now, it would be too late.

Regardless of his condition, he raised his voice and looked at the two guards outside the door. He screamed, he screamed,

"Dad.. dang…!"

What the hell's going on?

He tried to shout again but, to his disappointment, no sound came out of his throat.

He gripped her in panic and turned to look at her captor. Shaurya gave her a lazy smile and held her cold hand, as if comforting her.

The next moment, both doors opened and the king's personal servant looked at Princess Avantika with a polite question.

"Greetings, Princess Avantika heard about her brother's victory and despite feeling very unwell, she came here to congratulate the king. He was dizzy, a sore throat and unable to speak but he was overwhelmed with happiness and could not bear it," Shaurya was in full eunuch mode as he made exaggerated movements on his face, while saying this.

The officer narrowed his eyes at the eunuch. Why does his face look so foreign. But before the thought was finished in his head, he fell to the ground.

“You're slow once,” Ahilya's grunts sound funny coming out of a mustachioed man.

Together with Abhirath, he had 'replaced' the guards standing outside the king's door. But they could not get into the room without the help of Princess Avantika and hence this elaborate ruse.

.

Half an hour later

Everyone in the palace came to a halt as a loud conch shell echoed from the palace roof. People are confused about this time. Why would someone in the palace do this in the middle of the night?

The palace guards came on alert and attempted to secure all corners of the building but within fifteen minutes, the entire place was surrounded by fierce and ruthless soldiers wearing Himprayag weaponry.

After a brutal battle between the two sides, although the number more than doubled, the Sapsindhu army was decisively defeated. Prime Minister Sapsindhu looked on in horror as he tried to cover up the fact that they were attacked and defeated by the peace-loving Himprayag. Have the two countries collaborated?

He waited for the army leader to come out and make their claim, but instead, his gaze was fixed on the group of people coming from inside the palace.

Huh!

A eunuch, two guards, two kitchen workers.

Oh no!!! Is that the king's head?

.

Royal Palace, Chandragarh

On the surface, everything seemed calm but underneath, a lot of action took place in various corners of the palace. It's gonna be a long night.

Sharada's limbs twitched under the influence of medicine but his mind calmed down after being relieved of severe pain. In the back of his head, he realized something was wrong but the effect of the medicine seemed very strong and he could not fight the fog around him. His men stood guard in the corner, speaking softly among themselves.

After some time passed, a timid knock sounded at the door.

“My good brother, the prince has sent some beautiful dancers, both male and female, to brave warriors who helped him to victory. If any of you are interested in enjoying the show, please head to the entertainment area. There is a sumptuous meal and the most refined alcohol flows there tonight. According to Prince Mahendra's orders, you deserve this celebration, "an adult yet very handsome man stood there humbly and said so.

From his eyes, it was seen how enamored and captivated he was, towards the soldiers before him.

Sharada's men flushed proudly involuntarily and puffed out their chests, but the next moment, they looked at each other doubtfully.

There were five of them in the room and had been personally prepared by Sharada for quite some time. Before going to bed, Sharada specifically instructed them to guard the room.

Seeing the hesitation on their faces, the man said,

"Don't worry. No one dared to make a mistake with so many brave and ferocious soldiers roaming around. Also, I will happily stay to keep the minister with one of you, while the others go and enjoy. I have just been appointed as one of the palace's in charge by Prince Mahendra as a reward for my services over the past few months of conveying accurate information to his people."

The man showed a shiny metal seal hanging on the side of his kurta.

Seeing those people still looking at each other, he continued speaking, saying,

"I personally feel that you should attend the celebration. Although you work under the head of the zilla, but this is a direct order from the future king Chandragarh."

Therehewas. The men nodded enthusiastically and after a few minutes, the youngest of the group looked scowled while the other four walked out of the room with their leaping steps.

Even before the door closed properly, the disappointed man found himself falling over.

Huh huh?

Is he dizzy? Even before the thought was finished in his head, he was already dead.

Picking it up, Prithvi places him in a smaller dressing room located at the back before standing in front of Sharada.

Although he knew that coming out in the open was a big risk, he was willing to ignore his reasonable mind for once. He owes Ramanujam!

Taking the pouch from the pocket of his robe, he placed it under Sharada's nose. There is no point in fighting a comatose opponent.

Prithvi allowed himself to spend fifteen minutes with this person. He would make sure that this quarter of an hour would cause more pain to the east zilla head than the total amount of pain people would experience in his life!

Another room, Royal Palace

"Greet Prince Mithilesh! There was a horseman from Himprayag who wanted to make an appointment with you," one of the Sapsindhu's soldiers came and told him.

Despite their victory over Chandragarh, the two princes have kept the group of trusted people around them as security. Who knows how many Chandragarh secret agents are lurking despite the palace being under Prince Mahendra now.

Prince Mithilesh had a long day and he was tired. But the message from Himprayag cannot be ignored. He signaled for the man to be brought in.

Taking the sealed letter from him, Prince Mithilesh gestured for the man to wait outside while he opened and read the message.

After a few minutes, Mithilesh smiled and put the letter aside. The assassination was successful but was kept secret according to Rudradev's instructions.

"Ha... does the minister think that he is too smart and I will not know the trick? Now that he has lost the candidate he supported, I'm sure he panics like a headless chicken. Had I been there to personally witness the signs of defeat on his face" he murmured.

Calling the man, he instructed,

"Tell my father that I'll start my journey back after the crown ceremony. In the meantime, he can continue to let Rudradev run the show."

Gouruk

After Vidyut left, Vindhya became very agitated. He goes looking for Yash but is unable to find her in the dormitory. Defeated, he did not know who to turn to, in this situation. The army has been subdued and so have the royal guards.

Even if she wanted to tell someone about her brother's defection, who cares?

But marrying a traitorous prince .. is impossible!

.

Himprayag

By the time Rudradev received the message of victory, the dawn was about to arrive. He ran to Princess Ahilya's room to meet Gayatri who was there all night.

Gayatri stood up straight as Rudradev entered.

On his raised eyebrows, he smiled fully and told him,

"Gayatri's supreme military commander, in accordance with the power given to me by Queen Ahilya, I command you to remove and punish the military generals who conspired against the queen. Make sure that the culprit from last night got caught. The king has been placed under house arrest, along with his close confidants. The Queen is under my supervision. I'll be busy at the palace today. Once you're done dealing with the army, come to court. Let's clean up the ministry as well before the queen returns. It'll be our gift to her."
