Madam Urvi, was an intelligent and scheming woman who married into the Prime Minister mansion when she was 17 years old. There's also rumours that the marriage between them was not arranged yet it was more romantic ending with a knot. Before Minister Ohas, met Urvi he was engaged with another woman who was the daughter of highly respected marchent. But before the marriage date could settle the news of Minister Ohas found sleeping with another woman spread and at the end the truth revealed that Urvi and Ohas were already in a relationship. They loved each other and Ohas were never agreed to his current engagement but it was more forceful by the elders in the family. Because there was such a scandal and the Minister family had to reserve their reputation they married Urvi to Ohas and Urvi become the Mistress of Minister Mansion and everyone called her Madam in respect. She gave birth to a two beautiful daughters Miraya and Myra who gained a good reputation in the whole Tanishq.

The minister family enjoyed a real glory with luxurious life but they never cared about the two other daughters living at the back side of the mansion. The small house near the minister mansion was where the blood brother of Minister Ohas used to live with his family. But because of financially not stable and extreme hard work the husband and wife died sooner before they could make the two daughters eligible enough to stand on their feet. Though minister mansion took care of them playing the act of mentor on the surface and even gaing the reputation of being kind to the two nieces but no one knew the actual truth hidden in the dark corner of the mansion.

Shay and Nandini had to live on their own. To survive the minister mansion would sent 10 coper coins each month. Even the maids in the side house didn't get any allowance. Umi and Qushi served their masters without any expectations of money. They have devoted their life so they never asked for payment for their serving. As for the other two who works in the house were two pitiful girls whom Shy found and brought them back. Though the side house was remote and no much people visits there the people in the house lives in peace. It was that they are living hard life because of the lack financial support.

Nandini knows this clearly. She was glad that the former soul has left memories in the mind that helped her grab the situation clearly. She was not the weak soul anymore like the former one. Her goal of rebirth was revenge and she would not stop until she gets it. But right now she is helpless. She was reborn in such a tragic situation without any supports. How will she accomplish she don't have a penny in her hand nor anything to support herself. She need to socialize if she wants to take revenge and for that she needs a stable roots. Before she steps to plan the destruction she needed to make sure that her and her sister's life is secured. In the previous life she doesn't have any siblings but in this life she got a elder sister who loves her. Though in orginal ages she was older than Shay but in actual she is younger now because she was not Yashica anymore, the unfavourable crown Princess. She is now Nandini a young girl of the minister mansion.

"What does Madam want now?" Shay frowned "is there any kind of occasion that she is asking for our presence?" Even though Shay was innocent but she was not a fool.

Nandini looked at the food placed on table. It was more like a vegan dishes. They are surviving in low expenses that they couldn't even provide a good meal or good food to nourish their body.

"May be" she replied then turned to Qushi "go call the other two maids. The food amount is not huge to provide 6 people to the full. We will all eat together"

Qushi's eyes widened "miss, you and elder miss just have your full. We will manage later"

"What will you manage?" Nandini frowned "if you don't eat at least half then how will you complete task easily? Do you want to ruin your body? Currently the expenses are low and eating together will save us time. Besides we all are eating the same dishes so what's the point of eating one after another?" She pulled out few plates. The design printed on the plate already become dull and the flower design almost fading. It was showing how old the utensils are. She divided the dishes then pushed the plates towards Qushi.

"Go, call them"

Qushi had indescribable emotions in her heart. Though she knew her master was kind and gentle but she never thought she will be this generous too. The masters eating with the servants are rare. And for the masters treating their maids as equal one is hard to come by. Even if there's no chance to live a good life and had to stay in the shabby house for the rest of the life, Qushi will never hesitate. She wiped the corner of eyes then nodded immediately before walking out of the room happily. Umi stood behind Shy and smile with teary eyes.

Soon the two other maids were called and the both masters and servants had their meal silently. The side house is always the silent and peaceful.

"Elder sister, I have thought about it. We have been living here for such a long time yet others doesn't know about this place" Nandini said after Umi and Qushi cleared the table.

Shay looked at her "we don't have any prestige and power. Others doesn't recognise us so how will we have a good house?" She sighed "only if father and mother still alive"

So what? Nandini wanted to ask. Even if they were alive what would they do? Her father was a poor man. Their grandfather left the mansion and title for his eldest son but what about the second son who was driving in poverty?

"Father and mother worked so hard to keep us happy" Shay stated "you were so young so you can't understand it but I have seen them. They tried to give us everything but because of grandfather's influence father couldn't rise well in his career"

"Why does grandfather was so hostile towards father?" Nandini asked. For a father to treat his sons so differently it aroused suspicion in her mind.

"Well father was not a wife born child in the first place. I really don't know the true matter but mother said it once. Our grandmother was not the chief wife of the late Prime Minister. Mother also said, grandfather met grandmother during a travel and they spent a night. Though grandfather didn't harbour any feelings but grandmother didn't let him dispose her because she got pregnant with father. So she forced him to take her in but unfortunately she dies during labour because her body couldn't handle the pain leaving our father alone. Even though grandfather didn't accepted father but he didn't left him too. He let father grew without any love or respect. I heard he did it because he wanted father to know that he was forced to accept him"

Nandini sneered inwardly. Forced to accept? It was him who slept with a strange woman then impregnated her then tried to dispose her like a used shoe. Does that man even had a heart? Even if the second son didn't born from the chief wife but he was still the blood and flash of his own. He could see him struggling with his life yet as a father he didn't help.

Such a despicable man!

"I think we should go to the minister mansion. Madam will sneer at us if we are late" Shay sighed.

"You don't have to go" Nandini got up. She knew there's nothing special about the invitation. Besides she did not find any occasions in her mind for which the madam will call them to show affection. Since there's nothing important then it mean she was inviting them to show off something.

"But Mada-"

"You don't have to worry elder sister" Nandini smiled. She knew Shay is scared. Madam has been handling them quite well all these years. Making them do everything she wants. But things has changed. She was not the former timid girl. She was the crown Princess, who lived two lives in the past. For a small madam like her doesn't even enter in her eyes.

"From the invitation I think Madam just want to tell something. So it's nothing serious" Nandini smiled. Her gaze fell on the some embroidery items placed on the table. "Why don't you sit peacefully and do some embroidery?"

"Okay" Shay nodded.

"I will go and check what Madam has to say" Nandini gave a nod before walking out of the room. Qushi followed silently behind her.

"Miss do you want to stich?" Umi asked.

Shay nodded "we don't have much to do. I would like to read some books, unfortunately there's none in our house. It's better to do some embroidery"

Umi smiled "miss your embroidery skill is really good. Even though Madam didn't sent any teacher to teach basic etiquette or other things that other young misses learns bit you still managed to learn embroidery"

"Mother used to love doing this" Shay smiled "I am glad, she taught me some of her skills" she raised her head and looked out of the window.

She wonders of there will be day when their life will change and she and her younger sister could live a peaceful life like others.

Even though the shabby side house was situated in the backward of the Minister Mansion, it too half an hour for Nandini to reach the main door of the mansion. Two guards were guarding the huge door. When they saw the Nandini walking towards them they first showed a disgusting face but soon their eyes widened as she walked closer. Her hair was pulled up in a bun but what surprising was the pattern on her right cheek. The dark ink looked bright giving the good view of the design marked her small face. Today they suddenly felt the ignored young lady looked different.

Nandini looked at their faces then said calmly "I was invited by Madam"

The two guards looked at eachother then nodded before opening the door. Qushi who was standing behind Nandini was surprised. In normal days the guards would mock at them but today they didn't uttered a single word. She shook her head and followed Nandini silently.

In the main hall of the Minister Mansion, a woman who looked over 30 sat on the big couch. Her cloths were bright and her jewelries looked expensive. She had a satisfied smile on her face. Beside her there was another two young girls. Miraya, the first lady of Minister who was 16 years old and Myra the second lady who was 15 years old. They were chatting happily.

"Mother, is it true?" Myra looked exited as she asked. It's like she couldn't hold back her happiness.

Madam Urvi smiled "of course, do you think your father will talk nonsense about such serious matter?your grandfather also agreed to it" She chided softly.

Myra grinned "elder sister you are so lucky"

Miraya just smiled and took a sip on her tead. Myra looked towards the door and frowned.

"Why they are not here yet?" Just as she asked a maid walked inside and informed.

"Mistress, the lady of the side house is here"

Madam Urvi waved her hand indicating to let them in. Soon Nandini walked in with Qushi. She looked around the hall then her eyes landed on the three people sitting calmly.

Myra sneered and mocked "why are you so late? Mother has been waiting for long already"

Nandini just looked at her and didn't replied. She turned toward Madam Urvi and asked softly "why did Madam want to see us?"

Myra who was being ignored suddenly raged. She was short tempered girl and loves attention from others. When Nandini ignored her she couldn't help but get angry. But before she could shout Miraya hold her hand stoping him. She wanted to say something but seeing Miraya glaring at her made her pout.

"Don't cause fuss" Miraya warned "mother is stil here, just wait and watch"

With grievance Myra looked at her mother and stayed silent.

Madam Urvi who was observing Nandini suddenly frowned "Nandini what happened to your face?"

Nandini smiled "Madam it's not something you don't know" her smile turned into something mocking.

Madam Urvi was startled. She clearly knows that what happened to her face. Myra was such a bully and she caused Nandini to ruin her face. The cut marks on her face made Nandini look ugly. But today when she saw the markes being replaced by a art pattern, she was somewhat surprised. What shocking was the tattoo pattern on her face didn't made her look ugly yet she looked kind of different.

"Forget it" Madam Urvi waved her hand lazily. She don't want to talk about it. If she did then it will definitely bring Myra's topic again.

"Where's your sister? Why didn't she come?"

"Elder sister is doing chores. She wanted to come and greet but since the Shabby house lacks servants she needs to do works by her own" Nandini replied.

"Shabby House?" Madam Urvi frowned.

"Yes, it's already a cold and shabby place so..."

"Fine, whatever you call" Madam Urvi gestured her to sit. Nandini sit down obediently.

"Since you are here, I want to share a news. Even though we live seperately you two sisters are still connected with us. Since this is a happy occasion I want you two to join it" Madam Urvi smiled. She glanced at her elder daughter lovingly.

"Our Miraya is lucky enough for being selected as Chief wife of the Yuvraj. The Samrat told your uncle about it"

Nandini frowned "Yuvraj? Isn't the Yuvraj already has a wife"

"You still don't know?" Myra mocked "what that characterless former Yuvrani had anything to do with it? She already had affair with another man yet still want to stay royal?"

Nandini clenched her fist and her heart started to burn again. She was so angry that she want to behead Myra immediately for sprouting nonsense.

"Myra what kind of words you are using?" Madam Urvi scolded glaring at her daughter. She turned towards Nandini "though Myra spoke without manners but she has a point. The former Yuvrani died 3 days ago in the prison. It said that the prindon got fire suddenly and she died there. Since there's no wife in Yuvraj's palace, the Samrat suggested that Miraya would be the perfect choice. Your uncle also the chief advisor of the Samrat so Samrat was happy to have good relationship with us" Madam Urvi said proudly.

"Elder sister you are the no. 1 beauty in the Tanishq and also talented in arts. Of course Samrat will see who is qualified to be the wife of Yuvraj" Myra grinned "unlike some people" she mocked glancing towards Nandini. She thought Nandini will get jealous but to her surprise Nandini got up suddenly.

"Since this is the news Madam wanted to share then I will tell my sister. I have to leave now" Nandini said revealing a smile.

Madam Urvi narrowed her eyes. She don't know why the girl didn't reacted much. She waved her hand dismissing her.

Nandini turned around and started to leave.

"Elder sister in future you will be the Samragyee. I am so happy for you" Myra's cheerful words echoed in her ear.

The smiled on Nandini's face vanished the moment she turned around. A sudden sneer appeared on her face.

Huh Samragyee?

She would like to see if the Yuvraj is able to ascand the throne or not. Because from today onwards the real Yuvrani has crawled out of hell to write the future of Tanishq Dynasty.

_________

Key point: Samragyee means Queen or Empress

(For those who gets confused with the word)
