"I never thought that someone rich could say this" Harsh said who first came out of shock

"Arrogance attitude is correct but to demote someone is wrong" Nyonika said keeping her thoughts

"They didn't do anything evil yet but it is said na every crime starts to develop threw your mind" Manik said his words

"Money Fame can be owned by your own self it just needs faith and strength but buying it or selling yourself isn't an option" Sheetal said by her experience

"So it's clear in our first round many princesses failed" Raj announce and all left

"First round I mean don't get me wrong King Dad but we never decided it nor it is in the given list" Cabir said looking at Raj

"Yes I agree but you these small small things like your attitude towards others your respect to someone your impression in front of others are the basic things from which you can guess what kind of your life would lead to with the persons attitude in front of you" Raj his point of views

"I understand your point but rules are rules and Malhotra's never go back in words" Harsh said as he always stick to his words which means it can't add anything or lessen

"Okay then let's do one thing like in colleges when sometimes all have same marks people the invigilators check extra activities they do till date and on that bases they add marks" Manik said

"Like that if by chance all the princess are equally qualified then when can add these things for choosing the perfect one" Cabir completed and all agreed happily

"So this discussion is closed so coming to the next topic Manik which princess you wanna meet first and yeah remember you have to meet everyone today itself because at night in ball I must see you talking and dancing with everyone" Sheetal said though she is fun loving and caring but when it comes to work she needs it perfect you know effects of staying with Malhotra

"Yes" Manik said thinking whom to meet first

"I know Manik will choose that princess I mean Nandini but before that I have to tell him to meet Navya so that I can meet her and maybe she won't eat me alive think Cabir think if you wanna live" Cabir thought and seeing Manik thinking he took the opportunity and said "Manik you said you will let me choose"

"Huh" Manik said confused by Cabir's sudden restlessness

"So the princess is Navya I mean princess Navya" Cabir said and all nodded and looked at Manik for his answer "Say yes Manik" Cabir said wishing him not to do any stupidity

"Yes" Manik said absentmindedly

"Okay thank you are gonna meet them bye" Cabir said literally dragging Manik out not wanting anymore fuzz

"So you came here to meet me first for the first round may I know why" Navya said glaring at Manik and Manik who was already nervous because he never dreamed that he would meet his Bhabi like this

"Actually yes I mean no not with that intention just in a friendly way Princess no Nav no Didi no Bhabi yes Bhabi" Manik said stammering nervously making Navya stund

"This Manik the Arrogant Manik who never stammered is stammering in front his Bhabi useless creature" Cabir murmmered from behind the bushes

Navya who heard someone came near the bushes and said "who is there I said who ever it is come out" And Cabir having no option came out making Navya shocked "You what the hell are you doing here"

"Navya Navya just listen to me once" Cabir held not even letting her speak "I know I called you but I clearly said Manik that you are his bhabi and the reason I agreed you to come here was one you know you can't deny them second I can see you everyday" Cabir said in one go and Manik's eyes went wide seeing The Prankster Cabir's such worse condition while Navya started to laugh making them confuse

"Cabir look at your face ha...ha...Ha I toh forgave you yesterday when Nandini explained me that why you may have agreed me to come here" Navya said laughing making both ManBir statue for registering her words

"Means you are not angry with Cabir" Manik asked conforming

"No not at all" Navya said cooling herself

"Means we two are sorted" Cabir said conforming he didn't heard anything wrong

"Yes" Navya said happily

"Okay then let's go for a date" Cabir said forwarding his hand

"Sure" Navya said giving her hand happily and they went away

"Finally they are sorted now what should I do yeah meet girls but whom" Manik said to himself confused and started to move in the garden aimlessly until he bumped into something and the person in his arms when he saw he found it's his peace and was lost in depth of the eyes

"Umm" Nandini said breaking the eyelock "Sorry" Saying this she broke his trance then only he noticed her dress and his eyes widden looking at his reaction on her she asked "What happened is something on my face"

"No... Actually your dress it looks good actually very beautiful but I never saw a princess in shorts at others palace" Manik said nervously

"Oh that actually I am more comfortable in frocks so just wore it" Nandini said casually "And I don't understand when a princess can wear shorter then this outside why not inside"

"Wow that was something" Manik said complementing on her thoughts

"I know I was born smart" Nandini said flapping her hair and both laughed

"Prince Princess can I have your picture please" A photographer came to click their photo with respective orders of Nyonika saying though future queen would be one but friends and memories can be many so click every happy moment possible with every princess

"Wow while taking we reached till here and when we sat I toh completely forgot" Nandini said posing

"Neither me" Manik said and both smiled looking at the camera

"Thank you" Saying this the photographer went away and they again started to have quality of time with each other

"Wow that's great oh I remember thank you for sorting between Navya Bhabi and Cabir" Manik said remembering

"No need they actually look cute" Nandini said smiling

"How do you know" Manik asked as they are not been seen together yet

"Yesterday Navya showed me pictures of them in her mobile" Nandini said excited

"Oh" He was going to say something but the bell rang indicating their meeting time is up making Manik said but for Nandini it was neutral "So times up it was nice to be with you see you at ball"

"Same here your company was not that bad" Nandini looked at Manik giggled and finally bid bye

Now at present Manik was sitting and waiting for the next princess to come but she didn't came since half an hour but being a future king he should learn to have patience and that's what he is doing "Hi" Finally Princess Sanya appeared with a smirk

"Hi it's a pleasure to meet you" Manik said like a gentleman pushing the chair for Sanya to sit

"And he is clean bowled it always works and maybe he was clean bowled when he saw my picture as he was waiting for me since so long" Sanya thought with a growing smirk

"So I heard you have a good sense of fashion" Manik said initiating a conversation

"Yeah I love them you know everyone says I am just perfect and you know what I want I get I and" Sanya was saying continuesly about designs and how she is obsessed with herself while Manik was giving a fake smile and waiting for the bell to ring and when the bell finally rang he signed relief

"Thank you now you may leave" Manik said forgetting his all kindness because he was literally pissed off

"Excuse me that was rude" Sanya said not believing someone is telling her order's

"That wasn't rude other princess also might come thus I am saying it" Manik said fisting and Sanya angrily went away "I hope others aren't like her otherwise I will kill them" Manik thought

"Hi" Inaya said sexily coming near Manik

"Hi princess Inaya" Manik said calming himself down

"So I would not waste your time I just wanna say it straight forward I don't want to marry you I came here cause I am attracted to you so tell me your place or my room" Inaya said making Manik shock

"You may leave" Manik said gritting his teeth

"What" Inaya shouted as for the first time someone rejected her

"Dear princess I don't wanna create any trouble you may leave please" Manik said joining his hands and she frustratedly went away "One more and bom" He thought angrily

"Hello pleasure to meet you" Princess Soha said coming on time and formally wishing him

"Hi nice to meet you too" Manik said at her gesture

"So want tea I mean may I serve it" Soha asked and Manik nodded while serving Soha thought "Huh stupid princesses don't know the meaning of double face or atleast they should remember the proverbs first impression is the best impression and last impression is the lasting impression" Looking towards Manik smiling giving the tea "Your tea"

"They way you were pouring the tea from where did you learn" Manik asked impressed

"Actually you know nowdays parents give freedom to their children to roam around so in that time I learned all this see my grandmother" Soha said smiling and smirking from inside and they talked by seeing Manik anyone could say he was impressed when the bell rang Soha stood up shake hand with Manik and said "It was pleasure to meet you" Saying this she went away

"She was sweet I liked her attitude" Manik thought smiling

"May I have attention of Prince Manik" Alia said gaining his attention while he said sorry and both continued "Am let's not take it too far let's start from being friends" Alia said forwarding her hand and they happily shook and started to talk making new bonds when the bell rang she happily went away thinking "One thing is clear he can be a good friend not like others caring a fake smile and giving just because we have money he proved me wrong so I not think about money I will about friendship because after so many year I think I will get one"

"Ahem Ahem you seem lost" Veebha said seeing Manik lost and he shook his head and gestured her to sit "Wo Mr. Malhotra don't you think you are being too formal"

"Not like that Veebha but I must thank you for coming here" Manik said genuinely

"Come on Manik you know na apart from being princess I like to be a spy and when uncle said it's for testing princess for your future I couldn't disagree" Veebha said and both the childhood friends started to talk when the bell rang bidding him bye she went away

"Hi" Himadri came and said in sugar coated voice

"Hi" He said uncomfortably and they started to talk but Manik was still uncomfortable with her even he didn't knew the reason when the bell he she went away making Manik sigh in relief

"What the hell I was waiting for you since so long first you didn't come to pick me up then didn't meet me first you know how embarrassing it is if my social followers come to know" Rachel said as soon as she came near Manik

"Princess Rachel I didn't meet you first because of some personal matter and about coming and taking you then everyone is equal I came to none to pick up and about the social followers then they won't say anything and if they say not a big deal" Manik said calmly but all got in vain and both fighted for the rest of the time till bell rang when bell rang she angrily went away Manik sigh in relif and held is head and thought "Such a headache"

"Hello you are prince Manik right" Jeff said coming jumping

"Yes" Manik said smilingly seeing her kiddish acts

"May I sit" Jeff asked innocently while Manik nodded and both talked with each other happily when the bell rang she happily went away waving Manik bye so he did the same "Such a kiddo" He thought
