Princess Nandini's POV

"Humph that's better" Taimul's faced turned serious. His eyes glowered towards me with list as he looked at me or shall I say at my body. "Though you interrupted my plan earlier I couldn't get angry looking at you. I admit you are more beautiful than that girl and has more curves than her" he gave satisfied nod.

"You are satisfied with me?" I asked.

He laughed "beauty you got it right. I am a young mastar of the marchent family of Sagala. Our family is rich and could be compared to the royal too" his face showed how proud he is. "Once you get married into the family you will live a luxurious life later. You won't regret your decision rather will be grateful towards me" he pointed towards his chest proudly.

"You really know how to brag things to the highest point. But I would also like to tell you, too much pride would slap you back so hard until all the muscles of your face would ache"

"How dare to you say such thing? Do you know who ai am?" He yelled.

"I know very well who you are but since you don't know who I am, I guess there's an urgent need to remind you so you will never forget in future whom you showed that disgusting face of yours" I gritted my teeth.

"You bitch, I will ruin you today" he glared and reached out to touch me. I grabbed his wrist and pulled out my dagger which I always kept hidden with me and pierced his palm violently. Taimul screamed in pain and hold his arm.

"Let go of my hand you bitch" he cried out.

I smiled "you are calling me names, how do you think I will let go of I couldn't stand with the name you are giving me. Since I am a bitch, I need to show you what a real bitch can do, shouldn't I?" I pulled out the dagger and pierced his palm again just at the side where I pierced the first one. Now his palm has two holes and blood started to flow.

"What are you doing? Help?" He shouted.

"Since you haven't learnt how to control your hands, I am helping you to remember in future" I said coldly and kicked him fiercely. He fell on the ground holding his arm.

"Master" his servant called out horrified. "What did you do our master? How dare you hurt him?" He yelled at me.

"You couldn't handle your master's lecherous behaviour yet you dared to raise your voice at me? If you are that brave then come forward I have another dagger and I will show you how did you master get hurt"

He looked shocked and stopped telling instantly. By now the area started to get crowded.

"What's happening here?" Father asked as he walked towards us with King Hemang. The royalties of Minnagara and Gualam also joined the scene.

"Ah, what a scene" Kritika gasped as she raised her handkerchief and covered her mouth.

"You young girls shouldn't attend such event, go back" King Hemang said. Gurnoor, Kritika, Soma and Ruhina theh left along with other young ladies. From the corner of my eyes I saw Irini standing at back with her maids. Her face was full of shock. But she left with her maids along with others.

"Nandini are you going to explain anything?" Father frowned at me.

"Father, it looks like the merchant family of Sagala think they are higher than the royals and could match us in every way. This young master is the son of the marchent family who himself disclosed such truth to me. He thinks, he could harrass any woman he wants because his father has money and position. They are so high that they are harbouring the idea of suppressing us now" I said, "as for the this incident, he wanted to molest me so I have just returned his great favour with little means" I eyed the two man on the floor. The servant and Taimul looked at me with shock.

"What? How dare you try to lay hands on the great princess of Sagala?" Father roared. "Who do you think you are?" He was so angry as his face turned dark and eyes red.

"Humph, for a such people to stay in the capital and get favoured is really shameful" Queen Dowager looked angry. "How did your family teach you manners? How did they raised you? Don't you have any woman in your house that you are behaving like a crazy bull and running after woman like this?" She glared.

"I....I.... didn't....know...... she....."

"Whether you know it or not, who gave you the right to harass any woman as you please? Who gave you the right to ruin a girl's reputation like that? Do you think bragging like a fool would make you smart and outstanding infront of others. You are not better than a donkey in the lion's skin" I interrupted his words.

"Drag this two degrading people and put them in dungeon. We will decide what should we do after we return to the capital" father ordered.

"Your majesty, please forgive me. I will never do anything like this again" Taimul cried out. But two soldier came and pulled them up harshly.

"Wait" I said and walked to them. I pulled my dagger out harshly making him cry in pain. "I don't have the habit of giving my things to others. Take them away"

Soon they were dragged out of the corridor.

"Nandini, how all of this happened?" Father asked.

I turned to look at him "I saw him harassing a girl earlier. Then when I interrupted his plan he wanted to take revenge on me. But father, this matter is not easy as it seems. We need to go through the thorough investigation over it"

"I will check on this matter once we return don't worry" father nodded.

"Nandini I am glad nothing has happened to you. We couldn't guarantee about accidents" Queen Mrinal sighed.

"I am fine your highness please be assured. I knew he would do something like this so I was prepared" I smiled assuring her.

"In the future please let others know first of there's any situation like this. You shouldn't get involved alone. Besides Manik and others were still here, you shouldn't put yourself in dagger" she walked to me and hold my hand "I just wanted you to be safe so keeping a back up plan is always helpful"

I smiled "I understand your highness. I will be careful next time. Please don't worry about it"

She sighed then nodded.

"Well Nandini, I did heard many things from Mrinal but I never hand the chance to see something like this personally. But today you have shown me that a girl is not weak. If she wants then she can be strong and even defeat her enemies without having any disadvantage" Queen Dowager said with a smile.

"I just wanted to help your highness and thank you for the praise. I deserve a little" I bowed to her.

"What a considerate girl" she laughed.

"I told you" Queen Mrinal smiled.

"Oh, I need to wash my dagger, your highness please excuse me" I said suddenly remembering that my dagger was still stained with that lecher's blood.

"Of course, go, go" Queen Dowager waved her hand. "you need to rest too"

As I turned around I saw Devil was loking at me with a gloomy look. What happened to him now? Why does he looks unsatisfied? I pursed my lips and hurriedly turned around leaving towards my room.

"Clean the mess" I heard Devil's voice behind me. I didn't turned around but directly went to my room.

"Princess" Hanna was standing at the door loking anxious.

"What happened to you?" I frowned.

"I heard something happened to you. I was so anxious and couldn't rest my heart. Are you alright?" She asked.

I smiled "don't worry I am fine"

"But what happened back there?" She asked following me inside the room.

"Nothing just teaching some lecher a lesson. Do you know Hanna there are many people who can give birth but forgot that they had to teach their children some manners and the principles of living a life. When they failed to do so, we have to take the responsibility in our hand and remind them that the laws and regulations aren't made just to show off. They are made to follow, to bring peace in the country. And when someone violates it, they are going to face the consequences"

"Princess what's going to happen next?"

"Nothing, everything will be dug down until all the secrets are revealed before everyone. Afterall it just takes a little mistake to bring down all the hard gain reputation into water in a second. But can they Blane others?" I laughed, "they could only curse their past action" I smirked thinking about it.

"And do you know what Hanna?" I turned to give her sweet smile "I will make sure of it"
