Face Claim Ideas are not mine, they were chosen by themselves, Tamasvini's FC by Sham and Adyant was my choice.

Tamasvini was a different girl, she had anger issues, she was got irritated with smallest of things, she had some arrogance, but her flaws made her beautiful.

She had pale skin, and it seemed that mere sunlight could burn it; her eyes were like that of doe, gentle large and dark, the black kohl enhanced the beauty of her orbs; her lips resembled a freshly bloomed lotus; her hairs were long and wavy, her tresses would dance along the wind every time she walked. Her hips were wide with perfect curves and swayed in perfect sync with her feet.

Adyant, was a man of virtue, follower of righteousness. He had dark blue eyes, with natural curls on the top of his head. His skin was like molten gold, and shone brightly in sun. He was taller than average men, and was well built.

His arms were long, and flexible; a mark of great swordsman.

Both of them were married, it was a normal arranged marriage, where their parents had decided that they would be good for each other. 

Few weeks into their marriage, and they adored each other, trusted each other, loved each other. Their arrange marriage turned into a blissful happy life.

Tamasvini woke up, feeling sleepy, the sun had just risen and her husband was still asleep. She smiled seeing him sleeping peacefully. 

Her smile curled in a smirk as a mischievous plan crashed her mind, she held the tip of long hairs and caressed his face slowly with them.

Adyant tossed in sleep, and soon woke up and Tamasvini did not stop. He opened his eyes and saw her on her knees trying to wake him up. 

He slid his arms around her waist and pulled her on the top of him, "Teasing me?" He asked a low heavy voice. Tamasvini chuckled under his embrace, "It is not prohibited, my lord," She spoke with a teasing smile on her face.

Adyant traced his fingers on her face, going down from her neck to her waist, completely aware of her ticklish nature. Tamasvini's eyes widened, "You wouldn't dare," She said and Adyant tickled her at the moment.

Tamasvini laughed, her waist was her soft spot, she lost her balance and fell on the top of his, causing him to stop tickling. "Oh My God," She panted loudly, her husband was such a tease!

She pulled herself up and got up in a second, "You should get ready, it's already morning," She said. Adyant whined, "You have to get me ready," 

Tamasvini winked, "Well if you wanted that, than you shouldn't have tickled me," and she ran towards the bathroom. 

Adyant pouted sitting on his bed, "That is my fair, my love." He spoke loudly. Tamasvini replied back, "Everything is fair in love, and war."

Soon after the couple got married, they proceeded towards the Royal Court, expecting a normal day, but to their shock, there was a dullness in the atmosphere which neither of them could decipher. 

As they walked in, they saw the King of Ujjain, and Adyant's father, laying dead. Adyant's mother and step-mother were clad in pure white, a widow's attire.

Adyant kneeled down next to his father, "How did this happen?" He asked with teary eyes.

"He suffered a heart-attack, an hour before." Replied a minister.

Tamasvini kept her hand on his shoulder, comforting him, it wasn't easy for her, but she needed to be strong, for him, for the Kingdom.

"Yuvraj Adyant, we know it is not the moment, but tomorrow, you must be crowned as the King. Ujjain needs a King." Spoke another minister, trying to comforting and holding his responsibilities at the same time.

Adyant nodded slowly, his eyes still on his father, "Pita," He spoke softly and hugged his father, for the last time.

The same evening, Adyant, along with his three brothers, Daksh, Nirbhay and Sarthak, did the final rites of their father. Adyant broke down looking at his father's pyre. 

"Jyesth," Sarthak called out Adyant, "We need to talk to you, please come to the Royal Chambers at night," He said, giving a very serious look.

Adyant nodded, he knew he had to be there for his brothers as well, for they now have him as their eldest.

𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵

Adyant walked in the room, the room was barely lit, only a few candles provided some light, enough for him to identify his brothers faces, "Brothers?" He called out.

"Brother," Called out Nirbhay, the second brother among the three. He opened his arms, his eyes were swelled with tears.

Without thinking Adyant embraced his brother, and in the nick of the moment, Nirbhay stabbed his brother from behind, with a poisonous dagger. Adyant screamed in pain, and Nirbhay twisted his dagger with a smirk on his face, "I hope you meet Pitashree soon," And twisted the dagger again making him fall on the ground.

Daksh and Sarthak laughed, watching their step-brother die.

Daksh, picked up Nirbhay's dagger and stabbed barely alive Adyant again, straight in his heart, "Now, I will be the King." He spoke, watching Adyant taking his last breaths.

Few hours later, servants found the body of Adyant. The word was spread and the news broke down Tamasvini, she ran towards the room, to find the bloodied body.

She clutched his hand, tears flowing. 

Soon her grief turned to anger, who killed her husband? 
That was when noticed, the wound was on the back, someone backstabbed him.

She remembered he had gone out to meet his brothers. Her eyes flared raw anger as she stormed out of the room, with the same dagger in her hands.

When she saw the three, drinking wine and partying, her blood boiled, "Leave us," She ordered the servants who trembled at her voice.

The brothers stared at her with slight fear, "Bhabhi?" Called out Sarthak, softly.

"Dare you call me Bhabhi, you murderers." She said.

The three realized she knew the truth, they immediately went ahead and picked their weapons, ready to defend, but which weapon in the world could save them from anger of Tamas Guna?

When Sarthak went ahead with his sword, she bent down and stabbed his leg, making Sarthak fall down. She sat on his chest and thrusted the dagger at his neck, killing him instantly.

Next came Daksh, who was armed with a mace, he swung his mace but Tamasvini very smartly avoided and kicked him on the knees, and pierced his head with a spear from nearby.

Lastly, she moved towards Nirbhay who also had a dagger in his hands, Tamasvini threw Daksh's mace at his face distracting him and she planted her dagger in his neck killing him at instant.

She sat down on the ground, after killing the murderers of her husband, but it could not bring him back. She looked at her bloodied hands and cried, she just wished he was there.

She ran to her and closed the doors, sobbing as she realized he was gone. She saw his Veena, his favourite musical instrument. 

She picked it up and played a tune, a tune he had taught her.

"Tamasvini?" she heard a voice, and saw a pale version of Adyant, standing infront of her.

"Arya?" She went to hug him, but she passed his body as if nothing was there.

"I am not here, my love. But I can't leave either." He said, "I am stuck in between, you will have to give me permission to enter the afterlife."

Tamasvini shook her head, "I can't lose you Arya," 

Opposite of normal behaviour, she begged, "Please, don't leave me."

"I wish I could stay, but I can't. You have to accept that I am dead," He whispered to her.

"I can't. Please don't go," She fell on on her knees, begging him to stay.

"I am dead Tamasvini, but people of this Kingdom haven't. You have to take care of them, do this for me, will you?" He said.

Tamasvini did not reply, but shed tears, her husband was gone, and she had killed the Princes, or the murderers, and no one was there for the Kingdom.

She looked up, "I will, you may go Arya, I will join you when it's time." She said understanding.

Adyant's spirit disappeared, leaving Tamasvini alone in the dark room. Tamasvini stared at the place where he was standing, "You promised me that we would be together till eternity," She choked over her sobs rememering that time.

"And you broke the promise," she completed her sentence and fell down unconscious.

Tamasvini woke up in the medical room, she saw herself and saw the maids had dressed her in white, She touched the cloth and whimpered, this was her future now.

One of the nurses rushed to her the moment she woke up, the nurse helped up to sit. The nurse whispered something in her ears and left.

Tamasvini kept her hand at her belly and smiled in pain, "You did keep your promise Arya, you have left, but a part of you is here."
