Princess Fighter: Search for the Throne

Chapter 90: Rush– Hastily Makes a Huge Waste

Gurukull, Chandragarh

The two students looked stunned. None of them expected things to be like this.

Abhirath was almost 100% sure that he had heard Vindhya's comrades colluding in the labyrinth with others.

Why does her partner work with others, if not for Vindhya! Unfortunately, he had no evidence to back up his claim.

"Next time, make sure you've done your homework properly before filing a claim," prithvi's words were conveyed gently but Abhirath heard a sharp rebuke in them and apologized sincerely before leaving the room.

Vaishali felt very guilty. For it was Abhirath who faced such shame and reproof. As soon as they stepped out of the Admin building, he turned around and called out to her.

"I'm .. I'm really sorry. It was all my fault. I was in a hurry and unprepared, making you face the burden of the teacher without your faults" he said with bowed eyes.

Abhirath shrugged his shoulders and replied,

"It's good to know the truth. Maybe our assumptions are totally wrong or maybe the opponent is smarter than us. No problem now. I wish you all the best for the upcoming competition."

Vaishali looked sadly as she walked away from him without hesitation. He smiled wryly at himself. He knew that he had used reason to find the culprit all along to be able to interact with Abhirath again and again.

But now it's gone and so is she ...

Abhirath reaches the girls' dormitory only to be informed by Ishani that Mriga has gone to meet the head of the Northern zilla along with Chiranjeev and Gangga. He was surprised by the fact that he was not looking for her or waiting for her. Before he could ask Ishani about it, he gave her a dirty look and went back upstairs.

His eyebrows were confused. He didn't know what was wrong all of a sudden.

Arriving at his dorm, he met Vandit who was also looking at him with a frown. But Abhirath doesn't know why.

"Are you happy now?" Vandit almost snapped at him.

At Abhirath's ignorant gaze, he shook his head and started to pass through.

Pulling him back with his collar, Abhirath held him in place and growled, growling,

"You better tell me what's going on and without using indirect speech."

Seeing his old version appear after such a long time, Vandit gulped with difficulty but the next minute, he said clearly, saying,

"You've spent a lot of time with contestants who are as big and strong as you. Mriga and Ishani were looking for you earlier when they saw you go happily somewhere with the girl Posting that Mriga told Ishani that she did not want to bother you because you were so busy with people another and this isn't the first time you've hung out with that girl. Therefore, he went to meet the head of the zilla with Chiranjeev. In this entire episode, Ishani somehow came to the conclusion that all men are dogs and as a result, I was kicked out of his company because it was not my fault at all. As a result, I tried to find a way to make up for it. Although I don't know how to prove to him that I'm a different species than the other dogs. Now, pardon... I'm so busy."

Abhirath doesn't care about Vandit's love life or his problems. But she starts sweating on realizing that Mriga may have misunderstood the situation.

She had been with him when he met Yash and Vindhya a few times a few months ago. He gulped his saliva nervously thinking that he would definitely compare the two situations.

Vandit, who despite claiming to be busy, keeps raving about the unfair situation. But Abhirath had stopped paying attention and now he was running back.

He needs to figure out a way to convince Mriga of his innocence, but he's not stupid enough to try and do it through words.

In fact, the man who came to her and explained the situation could actually make her look even more guilty. Then he will find himself in the same boat as Yash, no worse.

But Abhirath is still waiting to be accepted by him. If he can't prove his innocence conclusively, he might as well say goodbye to his dream of becoming Mriga's man in this lifetime.

He knew that he believed in actions rather than words!

eastern zila

Ramanujam's attempt to catch the snake finally came to fruition when he heard the screams coming from the ground floor common area. It was a man who shouted like a woman at the top of his lungs.

Sharada!

So much so that Ramanujam does not even need his listening device to be able to hear the sound. But that means the snake didn't bite him.

Too bad!

"Find him and kill him right now. Someone go and get me Vaidya quickly. That little boy has been stung by that damn snake!" Sharada shouted with all her might.

"Boy?" Ramanujam eyebrows blend in wrinkles.

He had no idea that there was a child living in this building. For a moment, he felt guilty for his actions. He tried to think hard about what he read about the background of the Eastern zilla head.

As he recalled, he could not remember a child in the entire report. Considering that he has a close photographic memory, Ramanujam is fairly certain that he is not wrong. So who did this child belong to, so Sharada became so agitated?

"Don't tell me that she not only decided to become a woman after being born as a man, but also to be a child" he murmured grimly to himself, imagining Sharada becoming a paedophile.

East Zila

Soon, Ramanujam could hear footsteps in the lobby signifying that some people had come there but then everything went quiet. Unfortunately, to avoid detection, listening devices are only placed in strategic places and noisy dorm areas are not one of them.

Ramanujam realizes that Sharada and everyone live there and he has no way of finding out anything else tonight. The only advantage was that he now knew there must be more than ten people in this building.

He did not know if there were more on the higher floor but from the sound of footsteps earlier, he could tell the number was around 10-12 pairs of stairs. He bet on the fact that Sharada will one day use the room that was originally the Amprapali office. He needed some concrete information, and he needed it quickly. The boss must be exploding right now!

Capital city, Chandragarh

"Mama, aren't you considering nominating Mrignayani? He has completed the second stage and is an ideal candidate in all aspects. I'm not appealing as someone who likes him but purely for his ability,"

Yash comes to see hers, the mother in her office in the Capital.

He was worried that he would be affected by the pleas of others during the day and thus could not wait until night to file his case personally.

His mother looked at his urgent face and revealed a small smile.

"It looks like you're the one taking part in the competition, not him. Otherwise, why did mama see you pleading on her behalf so many times while she didn't even bother to appear on her own?" he asked with raised eyebrows.

Yash paled hearing his words. She had asked Mriga to come today to see her mother for the same.

But he stared at her for a few seconds before muttering softly,

"I'm not comfortable."

She knew that because of their history, Mriga would have a bad impression of her mother and would probably assume her mother was biased towards her. But he could not argue about this matter and lowered his head. He did not want to bring up the past under any circumstances.

In the end, she had him visit the head of the Northern zilla while he was going to go to his mother.

At least, he didn't stop her from doing that on her behalf.

"It's okay. Mama will see what to do. Why don't you go back and concentrate on your lessons?" he said rudely.

As soon as Yash left, Ujjwala called his assistant and said,

"Find out which way the head of the Northern zilla is leaning."

Himprayag

The sunlight flowing from the window caused Shaurya to frown and open his eyes. He narrowed his eyes and tried to raise his hand to shade his face from the sunlight.

But he realized that his hands were securely tied in heavy iron chains and that his limbs were frozen from sitting on the cold ground. Last night's events came back to his mind and so did the sharp pain in the back of his skull.

It seems that he was off guard by the foolish notion that he had not succeeded in making an enemy in Himprayag.

But as much as he tried, he still could not find the person who would do this. His final consciousness was brought by several men and some indistinct voices around him before he lost consciousness.

While he was pondering all this, the door of the cell he was being held in was slammed.

"awake. Stand up properly," the person walked in and instructed in a loud voice.

Shaurya stood up slowly as he observed the man. He was wearing the official uniform of Himprayag's bodyguard.

Was he captured by...?

"Greetings to Queen Nayantara," the voice of the guard was heard clearly, leaving Shaurya's eyes wide open.

What the hell's going on?

How did he offend the queen?

Despite this, he emptied his face of all his expressions and stood expressionless as the young-looking queen walked in. Looking at her, she could easily be considered the princess' sister rather than her mother.

He bowed respectfully and kept his gaze lower lest he manage to provoke this woman further. Despite how she had upset him until now, it was confusing, considering this was the first time she had met him.

"I expected a little more from the man who had caused my strange daughter to become upright" the queen's harsh words dripped sour.

Shaurya's shoulder stiffened but he did not look the woman in the eye. Although he tried to insult her but his words were not kind to his daughter either. If he remembers correctly, like Chandragarh, Himprayag is not fixated on people's personal preferences in things like this.

But who knows what's in a woman's head. Moreover, this mother-daughter duo looked like a bunch of crazy people and she did not want to do anything but breathe in front of them. He would not know what would trigger any of them in the next moment.

"What is your purpose in seducing my daughter? Did Mithilesh set you up for this assignment? What did he promise you?" his threatening voice was getting closer.

"That's her. My theory proved. Both mother and daughter are bat crazy. Who's trying to seduce who? I'm a bloody spy, not a gigolo" Shaurya muttered furiously in his head.

He was still struggling with how to respond without offending her before the door opened and Gayatri walked in. He stopped in his tracks as he took the scene in front of him.

.

Himprayag

"G.. greetings to the queen. Excuse me. I didn't know you were here. I'll be back." Gayatri started to back off as she spoke.

He finds out about Shaurya being kidnapped half an hour ago and he runs to Ahilya to report it. The princess was still bathing at the time. Therefore he had instructed Gayatri to immediately release him.

"Stop right there. Did my daughter send you? Is he so worried about his new girlfriend? And you, his faithful dog came running to do his request? As her most loyal pet, does your heart not hurt because of all that attention? he gave her his new puppy? For her, she even changed her gender preferences. She must be very special, right?" the queen openly mocked Gayatri.

Although the officer had left, Shaurya was still inside the room and could see blood coming out of Gayatri's face with every word. But the queen doesn't seem to care about it. Seeing Gayatri standing still there, Shaurya wanted to protest loudly the queen's unjust assumptions and unfair name-calling.

He actually cursed when the princess met him, next to the river.

How dare Queen Nayantara say that she was the one who seduced the bastard?

His daughter was a freak, and also an infidel.

A lover?

Who wants to be that woman's lover?

A puppy?

From what angle does he look like a dog?

"Tsk tsk... mother, are you bored? Play with my men.. Did the king's concubines not concern you enough to interfere in my affairs?" although her voice was lazy, her words were sharp enough to make the queen stiff.

Ahilya waltzed in and watched the situation through the corner of her eye. His first look was at Shaurya. Upon seeing that he was unharmed, his facial muscles relaxed slightly.

The queen and Shaurya may not have noticed this small change, but Gayatri's eyes noted every nuance on Ahilya's face. His heart that had been injured so many times lately, shattered once again this time. But by the time Ahilya turned to look at him, her emotions were under control and showed a respectful attitude.

When Ahilya first heard about him being caught, there was an impatient unease within her. He wanted to get out of the bathroom and run to this place. But he told Gayatri to do it.

As soon as she left, Ahilya stared at her reflection in the hot pool. Anxiety on his face could be seen despite the ripples on the surface of the water.

"That's because I couldn't make a deal with Chandragarh fail. If they find out that I've treated their man wrongly, it might affect the proposal," with that logic on itself, he calms down and quickly gets ready.

He was just in time to hear his mother's cutting speech to Gayatri. Ahilya may be upset with her girl, but that doesn't mean anyone else can insult her.

"You're really your father's daughter. One lover at a time is not enough for you, right," the queen spewed venomous words at her daughter viciously.

He didn't even care about the audience in the room.

In an instant, Ahilya's expression underwent a drastic change. Gone was already a listless look, instead, he stared intently at his mother.

"Gayatri, release the man and send him to my room after Vaidya sees his wounds. Find a royal guard who dares to kidnap my man and enslave him. All will receive fifty lashes each. Since this is my mother's first 'fault', don't execute the culprit. But next time." she accidentally stopped talking and smiled as her mother's face paled.

Although the guards had left the cell, they were placed outside the cell and could hear everything inside.

Ahilya wanted to send a message to each of them with this gesture. He did not know the reason behind his mother's foolish actions, but he could not lose face when he was in the midst of a rivalry with his brother for the throne.

"Mother, the snow has frozen the lake, making it look beautiful. Should we take a walk there and enjoy the view at an hour like this?" Ahilya's invitation was more of an order and the queen snorted angrily but followed her out of the cell.

As soon as they reached the lake, Queen Nayantara twisted her legs and shouted furiously,

"You stupid girl! Your father is dying and you want to play gender games right now. If news of your actions were to spread, who would want to marry you? You will have enough time to expand your harem once your position is secure. Until then, hold your head up. The royal family of Chambal will be visiting us this weekend. The crown prince had been brought with him all the necessary skills of a good king. If you succeed in impressing him, we can pit him against your father's son of a bitch, Mithilesh. I have personally checked it. He has all the necessary skills to make the king feel confident about passing the throne to him after you become his rightful wife. Chambal desperately needs our financial help, so this is a win-win for both of us."

"Haha.." Ahilya's loud laughter rang out, echoing in the open expanse.

"So, my mother thought that my ability was limited to securing a political marriage. It seems that dad seems to treat me better than you. At least, he considers me worthy of the same opportunity. But in your eyes, I'm never good enough that's why others are needed to come and play on my behalf" he said bitterly.
