Chunni bai was the witch whose old eyes had seen Shaurya Pratap from his birth. He had learnt tantra vidya from her at an early age and knew about these things a lot. But he always supported magic which was for a good cause. Chunni bai liked this quality of his, she knew he would never misuse his powers.

This was what Chunni bai was always cautious of. She herself supported the kind and the needy people. People who actually required her service for not hurting or damaging someone, but for something important. Today although Shaurya was not doing a good thing by telling her to do what was against her moral norms, but it was important. Very important for Chunargard, very important to see the king not just live a lonely life and die, for which his queen never cared, but to smile happily and win someone's heart, someone who could give him an heir to his throne, which had already become a serious issue among the riyasat and its people.

Everyone was worried as to when will they get an heir to the throne, and if they didn't, who will become the next king as the king's younger brother was an evil monster.

Yes, a monster, who never cared about the people, but only did care for the wealth and riches of Chunargard and how to become more wealthy by crushing the poor.

'Humne aapko kaha tha ki bohot jald aapko aapki nayi Maharani milegi. Aur is bar kisi Rajneeti ke maksad se nahi, balki aap unse apne liye byaah(marriage) karenge. Tab aapne humari baat ka yakeen nahin kiya tha, par dekhiye aaj aapne unse mil hi liya! Ab aap jake aaraam kijiye, hum aapka kaam kar denge, jiska pata aapko shigra chalega.'

Shaurya smiles at her and thanks her and leaves from the place to his Mahal.

Shaurya and Kurwaki are having dinner silently, Kurwaki is a bit sad today, their past was bad and depressing, and although it was centuries ago, still everything was alive in front of her eyes. She cannot forget the destruction, the fire, the lives that has gone by.

'Kurwaki, kya humari baat sun bhi rahi ho tum, tumne abhi tak thik se khana nahi khaya. Jaldi se khao. Hum jante hai tum kya soch rahi ho. Hum khud un baato ko nahi bhul paaye. Hum jante hai, humein un sab gal tio ke liye, nahi gunaaho ke liye kabhi maafi nahi mil sakti. Kitne bhi dand mil jaye kam hai! Par hum kya karein? Hum apne krodh(anger) pe kabu nahi rakh paye, jab humse humara sabkuch cheen gaya, hum apni sari hado ko bhul gaye the,' Shaurya said weeping remembering the horrible past and gets up to leave the table when Kurwaki stops him, 'Nahi Shaurya, tumhe adhi maafi tabhi mil gayi thi jab tumhe kaha gaya tha ki tum fir se janam loge aur tumhe apne pichle janam ki saari baatein yaad rahegi. Woh vardaan(blessing) tumhe isliye mili thi taki us janam mein nahi toh is janam mein tum Chandralekha ko pa sako. Isliye pichla sabkuch bhulke aaj ke baare mein socho .Is baar yeh aakhri mouka hai tumhare pas, woh kya kehte hai English mein? Last chance. You have to get your queen back.'

'Dushman toh is baar bhi kaafi hai Kurwaaki, par hum is baar Chandralekha ko paake rahenge. Chandralekha ho ya Adaa, woh sirf humare liye bani hai! She will be mine. I won't die before making her mine,' he again became serious.
