Everything was all set for the coronation of Nikhil and Shivangi and new King and Queen of Jaipur. They both were getting ready in their room.

"Nick, I am worried, what if Prithvi Singh did something today to harm you to prevent you from becoming the king." Shivangi said as she paced in the room in her heavy rajput attire loaded with heavy jewelry.

"Don't worry Shivi, did you forget how pale he was when he heard I am a royal." Nikhil said holding her hand making her stop at one place.

"Of course I do, how can I forget such a funny moment, in a matter of seconds his face changed from overconfident to a fearful one." Shivangi said giggling as she remembered Prithvi Singh's expression from their wedding day.

"By the way someone is looking very beautiful and hot." Nikhil said and Shivangi blushed.

"And someone looks okay too." Shivangi said turning towards the mirror. Nikhil hugged her from behind and kept his chin on her shoulder.

"That's not fair, you look so beautiful and we have to go to this stupid coronation. Why cant we stay here in our room?" Nikhil whined and Shivangi chuckled at his childishness.

"Since when the great neurologist Mr. Nikhil Khanna has turned into a whining child?" Shivangi said adjusting her dupatta on her head.

"Since the great neurologist Mr. Nikhil Khanna got married to his gorgeous wife Mrs. Shivangi Khanna." Nikhil said and kissed her cheek he was about to proceed further to her lips when the door knocked.

"Come in" Nikhil said after maintaining distance from Shivangi.

"Sir, you and Madam are called downstairs by RaniSa for the ritual." A maid came in and said. To which Nikhil nodded in reply and left the room holding Shivangi's hand.

They both reached the giant hall which used to be the former courtroom too. There were a lot of people and media waiting for them to arrive and take the throne.

Shivangi felt a little nervous looking at so many people and thinking that she will be a queen. As if Nikhil read her mind, he tightened his hold on her hand assuring her and she looked more confident.

They both were asked to sit across the holy fire. The priest chanted some mantras and asked the most loyal person of the palace Bhanupratap who used to be a minister to the former king to do the tilak with his blood. Bhanupratap didn't waste a second and made a small cut on his thumb with his sword which was a part of his royal service costume as a kshatriya.

Nikhil and Shivangi were looking at the man wide eyed and that's when they knew who they rely onto the most.

Bhanupratap marked Nikhil's forehead with his blood as tilak and then the queen Janaki Devi brought the Crown and kept it on Nikhil's head. She also brought the Royal Sword which belong to the king only and took it out from its sheath and gave it to Nikhil. Nikhil took it in both hands and kissed it as the part of the ritual.

Then for the queen's coronation the King was supposed to do the rajtilak with his own blood so Janaki Devi asked nikhil to do so. Shivangi was worried and shook her head in negative but remained silent due to fear of Janaki Devi.

Nikhil took the royal sword in one hand and cut his thumb slightly with it, he didn't wince at all, there was no expression of pain on his face. Shivangi kept looking at his bleeding thumb but couldn't show her concern as she couldn't show her weakness in front of so many people because she will be their queen.

Nikhil marked her head with his blood as tilak and placed the crown on her head. Janaki Devi gifted her the royal jewelry which only belonged to the queen. Nikhil and Shivangi both touched Janaki Devi's feet and then the feet of all the elders in their family.

When it was time for the royal feast, all the guests were asked to move to the royal dining hall which was usually used for grand occasions like this.

As Nikhil and Shivangi were about to eat the food served to them, a servant came and whispered something to Bhanupratap, his expressions darkened and he rushed towards Nikhil and Shivangi. As they were about to put the first bite of food into each other's mouth, Bhanupratap pushed their hands and shoved the remaining food away on the floor.

Everyone looked at them shocked, Nikhil and Shivangi looked at Bhanupratap confused.

"Apology Sir and Madam. We heard the food that was especially prepared for our king and queen still hasn't arrived. Please accept my apology, I tried to tell you but between all other noises, my voice couldn't reach you." Bhanupratap said apologetically and Nikhil and Shivangi smiled while the guests laughed at his stupidity.

Soon the food prepared for the King and Queen was brought and served to Nikhil and Shivangi. Once the feast was over and Nikhil along with Shivangi made a media appearance, they were finally be able to relax. They were about to go to their room to rest when Janaki Devi called them in the study.
