Shivaay, Anika and Prithviraj were done with their lunch. They were all sitting in the discussion room including Subhadra.

P- Kahiye, jamai sa. Aap kya kehna chahte hain? (Tell me, son-in-law. What did you want to discuss?)

S- Hum Aapse mughalon ke vishay mein kuch vartalap karna chahte hain.( I want to discuss something about mughals)

Shivaay said and Prithviraj nodded his head.

S- Mughalon ne humare rajya ke ek sainik ko maar diya aur hume chetavani dene ka prayatna kiya hai. Hume lagta hai ki hume yuddh ki taiyariyan aarambh kar deni chahiye. (Mughals killed one of my soldiers as a warning to us. I think we should start preparing for the war.)

Prithviraj nodded his head. His face had worry lines. Even Subhadra was worried.

S- Aap chintit mat hoiye. Hum aapke rajya par aanch bhi aane nahi denge. Hum par vishwas kijiye.(Please don't get worried. I won't let Anything happen to your kingdom. Please trust me.)

Shivaay said and Anika nodded her head with a confident smile.

Prithviraj also nodded his head with a soft smile.

S- Ek aur baat, Yuvrani sa bhi humare saath yuddh ka bhaag banegi. (One more thing, Anika will also join us for the war.)

Prithviraj and Subhadra looked at him in shock while Anika was nervous about her parents' reaction.

Su- Kintu Anika, yuddh kaise? (But Anika, war how?)

S- Humne Yuvrani sa ki yuddh Pratibha dekhi hai aur hume purna vishwas hai ki woh humse bhi shreshth yoddha hain. Hume unki pratibha par koi sandeh nahi hai. (I've seen her war techniques and I think that she is more capable warrior than me. I trust her talent completely.)

Shivaay said with a proud smile and Anika smiled gratefully at him.

P- Hume bhi apni Putri par purna vishwas hai. Woh aa sakti hain yuddh mein.( I trust my daughter completely. She can join us in the war.)

Prithviraj said with a smile and Anika nodded her head with teary eyes. She was very happy about it.

She looked at her mother who was fuming in anger and Anika's face paled.

Shivaay and Prithviraj were talking about war strategies. Anika was fidgeting with her fingers in nervousness while subhadra was seething in anger.

Su- Anika Putri, aaiye. Hume Aapse bahut baatein karni hai.( Anika, Come. We've so much to talk about.)

Anika nodded her head nervously and followed Subhadra out of the room.

She clutched Anika's hand so tightly that Anika winced in pain and her eyes got filled with tears.

A- Maa sa, hume kasht ho raha hai. ( Mother, please, its hurting.)

Anika said while wincing in pain and Subhadra held her hand more tightly while pulling her into her chamber.

She pushed her inside the chamber and closed the door with a thud. She then turned to glare at Anika.

Su- Kya jaadu kiya hai aapne Maharaj Shivaay pe, jo woh aapko yuddh pe le jaane ko taiyar ho gaye? Aapne talwar chalane ke saath saath logo ko vash karne ki bhi shiksha li thi kya? (What magic did you do on King Shivaay that he is ready to take you on the war? Did you learn black magic too while learning sword fighting?)

Anika shook her head in negative.

A- Maa Sa, humne Kunwar sa se kuch nahi kaha balki unhone hi yeh prastav rakha humare samne. ( Mother, I didn't say anything to Shivaay. Infact, he only offered me to come along to the war.)

Subhadra glared at her angrily.

Su- Aap hume murkha nahi bana sakti. Maharaj Shivaay, Bharat ke sarvashreshth raja hain. Hum nahi jaante ki woh Aapse kyu vivaah karna chahte the kintu humne aapko vivaah ke Pehle hi kaha tha ki aap Shivaay se doori banayengi taaki woh aapko kuch hi mahino mein aapse alag ho jaye aur hum apni Putri, gauri ka vivah unse karaye aur humari Gauri sarvashreshth MahaRani bane kintu aapne sab kharab kar diya. Kya kiya aisa ki Shivaay Aapse itna prem karne lage? (You can't fool me. King Shivaay is the most Superior king of India. I don't know why did her want to get married to you but I told you earlier that you won't get close to Shivaay so that he can leave you after some months and marry my daughter, Gauri so that she can be the Most superior queen of India but you spoiled everything. What did you do to Shivaay that he started Loving you?)

Anika was shocked after hearing her plan.

A- Hum jaante hain ki aapne hume janm nahi diya kintu humne aapko sadaiv apni maa Maana hai. Aur aap humse humare hi pati ko alag karna chahti hai. Shama kijiyega, maa sa, kintu hum aisa kuch nahi karenge jisse kunwar sa ko kasht ho ya woh humse alag ho. (I know that you're not my real mother but I always treated you as my mother. And you want me to separate me from my husband. I won't do anything which will hurt Shivaay or any reason that he gets separated from me.)

Anika said with determination and Subhadra was fuming in anger.

She raised her hands to slap Anika and Anika closed her eyes before she could feel the pain.

A- Shivaay.

She whispered in her mind.

At the same time, the doors burst open and Subhadra was horrified.

Shivaay observed the scene and now his face was red with anger. Anika opened her eyes and looked at Shivaay. She was shocked for a while.

S- KYA HO RAHA HAI YAHAN? ( WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?)

Shivaay shouted and Subhadra flinched in fear. Anika walked towards Shivaay and held his hand to calm him down.

Subhadra chuckled nervously.

Su- Maharaj, hum toh baat kar rahe the. Kya hua? ( your highness, se were just talking. What happened?)

Shivaay glared at her.

S- Baat toh nahi kar rahi thi aap. Aap humari Yuvrani se ke upar haath uthane wali thi. Hum yeh bilkul sehan nahi karenge agar humari Yuvrani sa ko koi chot pahuchaye. Bhale hi aap Yuvrani sa ki maa hain par unko chot pahunchane ka adhikar humne kisi ko nahi diya. (You weren't talking. You were about to slap Anika. I won't tolerate anyone hurting her. Even if you're Anika's mother, but I haven't given rights to anyone to hurt her.)

Shivaay said angrily. Subhadra was too horrified to say anything. Tears were making their way through Anika's eyes.

A- Chaliye Kunwar sa. ( Please lets go, Shivaay.)

Shivaay looked at Anika and felt bad for her.

S- Aur ye humari aakhri chetavani hai aapko. Warna agli baar aapka sir hoga aur humari talwar. ( And this is my last warning to you. Otherwise next time, it will be your head and my sword.)

Shivaay warned Subhadra and walked out of the chamber along with Anika.

Hello everyone.

Here you go with the next chapter.

How was it?

What are your thoughts about Subhadra?
