The palace court was eagerly waiting for him. Envoys from different countries who arrived at the feast of their wedding had not left the country. They were stationed to discuss the recent powerplay of Hiranga in Amai. But what they witnessed shook them. They experienced the psychotic arrogance of Cobra. Though they were feigning courage, their faces were pale. Their fear was evident. The majestic door of the court was opened for Yuvan. He could see the real situation of Amai from them. "What is happening outside?" "Did you catch them??" Questions were flowing from all directions. "Yesterday, Amai was in a fire. All our irrigation fields and shops were burnt and we have concluded that it is done by Hiranga." Abhik and Charan with the subordinate of Mahesh entered the room. Mekala was already present in the court with her father. All the generals were summoned and stationed outside the palace. Soldiers were all over the streets. Within two days the complete system of Amai was in cha
"Amanya... Apeksha..." His legs were shaking. Was it because of the poison or her name, he was not sure. The day from Sayyonee to the last feast flashed in his mind. His face was sad,"was it all a plan?" The undercover legacies of Amanya ringed his ears."Whatever she planned was her responsibility just like you planned beside her as Yuvraj. But.. meeting you and falling for you were pure accidents." Ashok answered his whispers."Accidents??!!" His red eyes stared at them in umbrage."For you, she left her country, her crown, her privileges' of a queen; but... you let her down.She trusted you, to be with you she was silent about Amai's injustices. Every day was a thin ice. She walked on it just to live with you.""You let her down..." Dhruva roared.Jiva stared at Yuvan, "On that day, when you barged into my kingdom; I just asked you one thing and it was her happiness. You promised me; then where is she??" his eyes were red."You can't even protect your wife from these hypocrites, h
They went back with Naman and Ashok. Her death was his biggest punishment and he was punished for a lifetime. He sat on the aisle for a whole day. Tears rolled and caressed his lips dropping on the mask in his lap. All envoys left Amai fearing Hiranga. Amai was completely alienated from that day. Abhik and Charan stood beside him. He loved his di and Ashok was a brother to him. It was as if he lost all his siblings on that day. They couldn't process her death or the newly introduced cobras.A sudden thought struck Yuvan and he rushed from the palace. He rode his horse like a madman and entered his mansion. Abhik and Charan followed him. When they reached there, they heard his cry. It was from his room. They saw him collapse on the floor."Bruddah..."They saw him clenching the mask and weeping hardly. "They took everything, everything she had here except this mask that witnessed her... last... tears.""Out... Out..." He pushed both of them out of his room and ordered every person to b
"It has been fifty years. Why don't you go inside to see him?" Aras stood near his sister who was on the border of Amai for five decades waiting for him. "I am afraid; If I meet him again... " She sounded tired. "Even after all these years you still can't let go of him. Why don't you return to heaven?" "Because of my selfishness, I ruined his two life. I have to make sure that his next life will be smooth and prosperous. " "You just want to meet him for the last time and tell him, you never misunderstood nor hated him." "Maybe... Yes. I don't want him to leave with regret and disappointment. I want him to be happy for eternities from now on." "My little sister is grown up..." Aras hugged her with his left hand. Loud bells gonged all around Amai. The king is dead... She pressed her hand in anguish. She was sweating, her breath was getting denser. 'He is coming... I am meeting him... For the last time. Will he resent me' Her mind was full of thoughts? "Apu... " She turned back.
It's about midnight. The long howling of wolves was heard from Darya van, the forestboundary between Amai and Hirangan kingdom. For the past many decades, it has alwaysbeen peaceful in the Mekong continent ever since Hiranga officially announced that they willno longer participate in any war unless they are provoked. It can be considered as therewon't be any war from part of Hiranga since no other country, even the Amai kingdom, woulddare to provoke the mighty beast Hiranga and its renowned Serpent and Hawks army.Amanya, the commander-general of the serpent army had a meeting with the othermembers of the army and was preparing for her usual night patrolling in the outskirts of thekingdom. General Jatin who usually accompanied her in this night patrolling was busy andcouldn't make it today, so she went unaccompanied.All was good in Hiranga and she was about to return, suddenly she heard a scream nearbyDarya van. She was perplexed as Darya v
In the dayspring houses were busy making their morning tea and preparing for today. Shopkeepers were setting their stalls and some were purchasing. The streets were full of hustle and bustle. Loud neighing of horses were coming from the end of the street . As people turned they could see three big horses galloping and were approaching the streets at the speed of wind. They immediately paved the way for their commander as they could instantly recognize the mighty mascot and its master. The horses were followed by a squad of pythons. As she passed, her long hair with the scarf was waving in the wind leaving her majestic aura in the air. They could see the flag waving in the clouds high, piercing through the air. They slowed their pace and the horses reared on reaching the gates of imperial court . "Respect to the commander " the soldiers guarding court gates bowed and welcomed them. They went through the fort and the pythons stopped and assembled at the f
Amanya walked out so fast that she reached the fort within minutes. Jatin and Dhruv literally had to run to catch up with her. She was waiting for them at the imperial garden. Whenever she felt stressed it was her habit to visit a garden to cool down. "Amanya are you fine? don't stress out yourself" "Yes Amanya. Even if they really have ill intentions, don't you have faith in serpents and hawks? " "Hmmm." Amanya smiled but her face changed red instantly. "Now since they forced us then I can only reassure my reputation as the cold blooded Serpent Queen " A demonic smirk flashed behind her smile. "Ok jokes apart, now let's get down to business. Dhruv ask the cobras to report everything once in a week and immediately if they sme
Jiva and Aram rode back to the imperial palace. Jiva was riding really fast that they reached the palace quicker than what Aram expected. Even when the cold wind was embracing him he was still sweating. Jiva was very disturbed to an extent that even Aram was concerned. Jiva directly went to the king's chamber without even informing the king. He was behaving like he met some national emergency. "What happened to the crowned prince that he even woke up his majesty from his sleep." "Maybe something really urgent." The guards standing before the door whispered to each other. Aram was standing outside the chamber thinking about his odd behavior just now. "Did he just get shocked from Amanya's behavior? Such a drama queen!! Or coul
