Nandini walked inside the dining room and found no one. She frowned slightly was about to call for a maid when she heard foot steps behind her. She turned around and saw Shay was coming- almost running inside. She panted patting get chest.

"What happened? You looked like you just ran a thousand miles to reach here?" Nandini asked.

"I was-" Shay panted.

Nandini handed her a glass of water "here, drink this first and calm your nerves before you explain anything"

They sat on the chairs and Shay drank the water. Her dry throat wetted with coolness and she felt good.

"I went to bring the threads personally in the Peach Flower Restaurant"

"Why do you went out in this sunny weather? You should have stayed in the manor. Besides there are maids to run your works "

Shay smiled "I know, but I wanted to go out for a bit and also place a few more orders. I wanted to do it personally "

"Fine, if that's what you wish. I won't interfere. Just don't get yourself burnt in the sun"

Shay laughed "it should be me, giving such instructions and yet things are other way around here"

Nandini smiled "I just don't want you to get into any trouble. Next time if it's not important don't get out of the manor. And if you want to then take few more guards with you"

"Okay, I will remember that" Shay nodded.

"Now leys have meal" Nandini said and clapped her hand. The maids entered bringing dishes for lunch. Shay looked at the dishes and sighed. The wooden table was filed with exclusive dishes. Tehari, Aloo Kachalu, Indrahar, Chicken Kolhapuri, Seekh Kebab Korma, Mirch Ka Salan, Cooked Rice. And for sweetness Balushahi was made.

"This is too much" Shay shook her head "we can't even finish eating all these"

Nandini smiled "you need to taste new dishes elder sister. Just eat good and nourish your health"

"But-"

"Don't forget we are not the only one living here" Nandini reminded. Shay nodded and they started to eat.

Life has become my more comfortable for them after they seperated from the minister mansion. Shay never thought she could live happily in this life. If their parents were alive then they would be happy but unfortunately they couldn't see what their children had now. After finishing the meal Nandini talked with Shay for few moments before she left again. Shay went to her room. Umi brought her boxes of threads.

"Master, miss has brought new bolts of silk fabrics" she as she two maids dragged a wooden chest inside the room.

"Hmm... But I already received the ordered fabrics" Shay looked at the chest.

"Miss said it was not for order. It was for you. She want you to make few more new dresses to wear" Umi replied with a smile.

"My?" Shay walked towards the chest. She opened it and gasped "these...." Her eyes glued on the bolts of fabrics piled in the chest "are Messaline Satins"

"What kind of satin it is miss?" Umi asked.

"Messaline satin is very lightweight and has a high shine, and it's usually woven from rayon or silk" Shay replied "Nandini really has a good taste in choosing Fabrics "

"Lady Nandini is so considerate. She is always thinking about you"

Shay was tracing her fingers over the smooth texture of the fabric when her hand paused. Umi was right, Nandini was thinking about her but what about her? Afterall she is Nandini 's elder sister. She also needed to do something. Shay thought for a while then turned around to look at Umi.

Umi was surprised at the look of Shay. She felt like something is about to happen.

In the Minister Mansion...

"What did you say?" Madam Urvi frowned at Miyara.

"It's all true mother. Seher had seen it with her own eyes. Mother if Yuvraj had taken interest in Nandini then what about me?" Miyara looked anxious.

"Nothing will happen like that" Madam Urvi shook her head "even if Yuvraj had taken interested in that slut she will never become his wife. Even if Yuvraj want to give her the wife title but it will against royal rules. Besides that slut is already seperated from the family and has no background. Though she is doing good right now but unfortunately her weak family background will always be the great influence in her life. No man would marry a girl without any background let alone Yuvraj who will become Samrat in future "

"But what if she becomes his concubine? At least at the end she will have noble identity " Miyara pointed out.

Madam Urvi pondered for a while. It's not impossible though. If the Yuvraj want to take Nandini as concubine no one could stop it. As after marriage Miyara had to accept it as the chief wife of the Yuvraj and she had to follow her husband's decision. But how could Madam Urvi let her daughter be wronged like this? When she married into the Minister Mansion she played so many tricks to prevent Ohas from taking any other woman. But imperial family is another thing. A wife can't prevent her husband from taking a second wife. And even if she was the mother of Yuvrani she could interfere in this imperial matter.

"Mother" Miraya called again when she didn't heard any response from Urvi.

"You don't have to think about it now. Even if Yuvraj wanted to marry Nandini he couldn't do with now. He have to marry you first before he could take any second woman back in his manor"

"But mother-"

"Miraya you need to take care of yourself and don't get involved with other things. You are going to be the wife of Yuvraj and that's why you need to get yourself more poised and learn more things about imperial rules so after marriage you don't have to get yourself in trouble. Do you understand what I am saying?"

Miraya nodded "yes, mother"

"I know you are a good child. I have seen the Samragyee in the ceremony. She looked satisfied when she looked at you. And you need to keep this impression. Don't think yourself as just simple young lady of this manor. You need to think yourself as the next Yuvrani of Tanishq and you need to behave like that too" Madam Urvi lectured.

Miraya nodded "yes mother, I will do as you say"

"Good, your teacher must be on the way. Go and wait for her"

Miraya gave a nod before leaving. Madam Urvi clenched her fist. Why everything has started after that two bitches left the mansion? Why Nandini is coming on their way like this? But if she do something now then it would create more troubles for her. She gritted her teeth and called her maid.

"Go, pawn the box of jewelries I have taken out yesterday " she ordered. It has already be 3 days passed. She had to gather the money amount by the end of the week. Ohas has already dropped the responsibility on her shoulder which means he is not going to land any helping hand. If Myra was not a fool of herself, she would not be in such situation. Thinking about her precious jewelries Madam Urvi felt her hear ache. But she has no other way to gather such a big amount of 50,000 gold coins. Her hand aches to slap Myra again. How come her own daughter be such a fool and ruin her reputation like this. How will she face the other madams in any ceremony from now on. They would think she could not even discipline her own daughter.

"Take out the document of the land my brother gave me as dowry" she ordered her personal maid.

"Mistress you are really -"

"I don't have any choice" Madam Urvi gritted her teeth and angrily walked towards her room.

In the guest palace....

"Your highness I have got the information you needed" Zain, Manik's personal guard said.

Manik who was leaning on the couch lazily and wiping his long shiny golden sword paused his hand. He turned his head to side and gave a look to Zain.

Zain understood the meaning and continued "Miss Ahza of the Silk-Thread Shop was the abandoned daughter of the Minister Mansion. She lives with her elder sister Lady Shay in the house adjacent to the Minister Mansion. The Minister Mansion didn't provide any good thing to the sisters and avoided them. Its also said that the father of Miss Ahza was not favoured by the the former minister Sanand. But a month ago miss Ahza made a deal with the former shop owner of the current Silk-Thread Shop. And now she has become the owner and was seperated from the Minister Mansion "

Manik carefully listened to what Zain said. He placed the sword on the table "looks like this little girl is very handful. A certain small face flashed in his mind. The dark patterned curves on her cheek makes her look different from ther ladies. His lips hooked up with a evil smirk.

Zain who was paying attention to Manik was startled. He looked at his master and knows there's something going on his master's head. He never seen her like this let alone enquire about any woman.

"Hmm...looks like it's time to collect my debt" Manik said with a smirk.

Zain frowned not understanding anything. Manik got up from the couch and walk towards the window.

"Tanishq is really interesting place with interesting people" He said as his gaze fell on the man sitting in the garden alone.
