Tamasvini was sitting on the floor of her room, devastated by what she just witnessed.

She stood up, her eyes were blank. She took her bow and quiver and walked to her father's room.

"Maharaj," Her voice was like the echo of void, which gave a happiness that someone was there but was also scary because someone was there.

Dushyant gave a weak smile, "Yes Putri." Tamasvini could believe his sweet voice.

"Shall we go on a hunt?" Tamasvini asked.

"I don't mind, but suddenly? That too at night?" He asked.

Tamasvini stared at him darkly, "Yes, we have a hunt a monstrous beast, and such beasts come at night."

Dushyant was slightly taken aback, for a second fear crossed his mind, but it lasted a second as he knew she was his daughter.

The father daughter duo rode their horses in the silence.

"Why did you kill her?" Tamasvini abruptly questioned.

Dushyant sighed, "Her death was necessary. You are to be the Queen, and with that woman our lineage would end."

"Saanvi was their." Tamasvini countered.

"Yes, but not her or her children will ever sit on this throne." Dushyant replied.

Tamasvini turned to him, "and why is that so?" She asked.

"Tamasvini, years ago, your mother fell in love with another man. It was after your birth.

And while she was with him, she conceived his child. She is Saanvi.

I love her a lot, but she is not blood and has no right over it." Dushyant spoke.

Tamasvini stared at him blankly. Saanvi was her half-sister, a child born of out an extramarital affair.

Children born from such affairs were treated less than a slave, and she understood why Dushyant did not disclose this truth ever.

He cared for her mother, and out of love for her, despite her cheatings, he took care of Saanvi.

"But I do wish that you had such enthusiasm like her." Dushyant sounded disappointed. "If it weren't for her informing me about how you let that girl escape and your whereabouts," He sighed at the end.

He held Tamasvini's hand, "you must understand, my daughter, that you only are the future of this Kingdom, and sometimes you have to look for the kingdom even if it means we have to bear pain."

Tamasvini looked at him in eyes, "I perfectly understand, that I have to put the Kingdom before my needs." Her reply was short and precise.

She casually asked him, after a minute of pause, "Saanvi told you about me and Vedavati's whereabouts?" Dushyant nodded, and replied, "Don't be mad at her. She merely was thinking about the kingdom."

"Of course Father, I hold no grudge against her, my dearest sister." Dushyant was oblivious to the venom in her voice as she said dearest sister.

It did not take long for Tamasvini to connect the dots, her half sister was hungry for the throne and power.

"Father, it's almost morning, and we couldn't find any animal, let's return. We can back again." Tamasvini said, realizing the true culprit was someone else.

Dushyant nodded agreeing to her wish.

When Dushyant walked towards his room, he noticed Tamasvini following him. "What happened?" He asked with concern.

"Nothing father, let's walk to your room." The urgency in his voice made him walk faster.

In midway, she ordered a servant to come to her father's room.

When Dushyant walked in, Tamasvini right behind her, he felt a sudden pain in his back, and noticed Tamasvini smirking from behind.

He realised she had stabbed him.

Tamasvini then pushed the dagger more, "I told you I will think about the Kingdom first, before me.
And this Kingdom will go in ruins with you as King.
Thus to safeguard this Kingdom, I ignore my personal desire of you father to become the Queen for this Kingdom's benefit."

A few minutes later, Dushyant fell to ground dead. Tamasvini smirked, and sat down on one of the chairs.

She played with the hem of her dress, waiting for her half sister to enter, and it happened.

The moment Saanvi entered, she saw the dead body of her father and ran to him, not noticing Tamasvini.

She tried to pull of the dagger, and Tamasvini played victim. She started shouting and stood close to the door.

The guards came and saw Saanvi holding a dagger in Dushyant's and Tamasvini shedding tears.

Saanvi was too confused to understand and Tamasvini took her opportunity, she immediately told the guards that Saanvi had killed Dushyant.

The guards were shocked, but took Saanvi in their custody at instance.

◆━━━━━━▣✦▣━━━━━━━◆

The court was murmuring, the trial of Saanvi was to be held.

Saanvi was bought in chains, "I did not kill him, she did." Saanvi lost her temper and shouted like a mad person.

Tamasvini was seated on the main throne, she raised her eyebrow in a way which said, 'you are just a kid and I'm the Queen'

"My Father, was a great King. Yesterday, he called me and Saanvi to discuss something.

Saanvi is the daughter of my mother and some other man. She is not my father's blood daughter.

Saanvi, when she got to know the truth, killed him in back." Tamasvini cried while speaking, her tears melted the hearts of the court.

"To save her dignity, he took her as his daughter and loved her like one, but she? She betrayed him." Tamasvini sobbed hysterically.

"She is lying. I'm his daughter and I did not kill him." Saanvi screamed.

"I'm the proof. The King had entrusted me with the secret of Saanvi's birth. He thought it would be better if someone knew, just in case." Spoke one of the minister, who was close to him.

The court murmured and Tamasvini could make out them discussing her punishments.

"Princess Tamasvini, we think you should order her execution. That is the best punishment for her." Said the ministers.

"No," Tamasvini replied, "Her crime was worth more than, and her punishment will be more than that."

Tamasvini stood up, "She will be remain in her cell for thirteen days, until my Father's teeravi. And after that, she will be burnt at stake for her crimes."

"She is to receive half meal a day, and no human contact." Tamasvini ordered.

The court immediately approved her decision.

In thirteen days, Tamasvini was crowned as the Queen.

For thirteen days, Saanvi was held in her cell, and Tamasvini came to her for a visit, "Enjoying?"

Tamasvini was smirking.

"Why would you do that?" Saanvi asked in despair.

"Dear half sister," Tamasvini started, "You pretended to help me and backstabbed me. You had this coming.

I would have tortured you, but trust me, I have a better plan." Saying so Tamasvini opened the cell gates, "Run away,"

Saanvi, thinking that Tamasvini still loved her rana way from the secret doors, unknowingly falling in the trap Tamasvini had set.

Saanvi ran and found the opening of the door reaching the markets, other all secret doors were closed.

She tried to blend in run away, but the people caught her sight.

Saanvi was reduced to a piece of human flesh by the angry crowd.

Burning her would have been good, thought Tamasvini, but leaving her to the mercy of angry mob was better, she corrected herself.

Vedavati bought Heaven down for Tamasvini, and her?
She raised hell above for Vedavati.
