For the first time in life Myra started to feel what the real meaning to fear. The person before him looked like a terrified Demon, not less than the king of hell. After bribing the maid who brought her food she was able to sneak out of the mansion. She didn't know the way where Quasar Hall is. But when she saw a group of dancers were moving forward, she accidentally heard that they were invited in the Quasar Hall for performance. She immediately felt happy. She took the chance and got mingle with the group of maids in the troop.

She knew if she wanted to leave she had to find Prince Manik. If he says that he wants her then her father couldn't do anything at all. So she decided to seduce him the moment she saw him sitting in the hall. But before she could serve the wine, she got caught. Fear started to clench around her chest. She always imagined Prince Manik to be lovely, fairy god, who will look at her with a loving gaze, pamper her to death. But the person before him was far from that imagination. The look he was giving her already sucking her soul out of her body. Her body trembled, even her father don't look this scary at all.

"You..your.... highness?" She called out trying to suppress the fear as much as she could.

Manik smirked at her. His clutch on her wrist tightened almost breaking the bones. Myra couldn't help but yelp in pain.

"What honour do I have to be graced by the daughter of Prime Minister? Is this what a reputed young lady behaves? Sneaking inside a man's living space disguising as a lowly maid?"

Myra flinched. He caught her identity. She bit her lips and her body shook with fear "your highness, my father is forcing marriage on me. I don't want to marry"

"What does your marriage has anything to do with me? Do I look like a marriage judge to you? The perception of the Prime Minister 's daughter is really different from others. She couldn't even differentiate people?"

Myra's eyes brimmed with tears. Her wrist was already paining and the words he said stabbed her heart. She forced her tears back and said softly.

"Your highness, please help me. I don't want to marry anyone else but you. The moment I saw you I have admired you. I already think of you as my husband, how can I agree to the marriage arrangement with another man? My heart only had you, that's why I came here, I know your highness is gentle and righteous and will definitely understand my feelings" she said in such a voice that everyone in the hall started to pity her. Her gaze was delicate and seductive as she looked at him. No man can refuse such delicate beauty. Myra believes her beautiful is earth shaking and Prince Manik will never have the heart to reject her earnest feeling towards him.

Manik who listened to her suddenly smirked "oh, there are many woman who admire me, even the confession of romantic affair is nothing new. Tell me should I take everyone who confess to me?"

"Your highness, I am sincere and I am not like those other woman. I love you with my heart" Myra insisted.

"Oh, you love me?"

Myra nodded "yes"

He raised an eyebrow  "and you can do anything?"

Myra didn't think clearly and nodded her head.

Manik let go of her hand and moved back. Zain handed him a handkerchief and Manik wiped his hand with it. Then he threw a sharp knife at her.

"Since you are so sincere, then why don't you proof it? Take the knife and cut yourself"

Myra's eyes widened as she looked at him. She could do anything but how can she take the chance to hurt herself? The most important thing in her life was her beauty and today if she cut herself to show sincerity the one who will get hurt was herself too. Though she thinks that after it,  she may become the consort of Prince Manik but will he love her if she has scars on her skin? What if he takes liking in other person after seeing her scars. So many thoughts were running in her mind but she didn't dared to raise her hand to grab the knife. She eyed the knife with fear.

Samrath who was looking at the scene suddenly laughed. He sipped the wine and looked at her with interest "what happened Lady Myra? What's there to think so much? Since you admitted to admire my brother, you should show him the sincerity first. If not then how will he see your deep passion for him? Don't forget there are lines of the woman who has eyes set on him" he provoked.

Myra looked up hearing this. But she could see there's not a ounce of emotion in Manik's eyes. He just looked at her like seeing some drama instead of being serious. She held her breath and opened her mouth again.

"Your highness, I am willing to do anything but this one is something I couldn't have the heart to take the action. I really do love your highness with my heart. And for that I am willing to serve you with anything you demand "

Manik raised an eyebrow "so, you are willing to do anything other than this?"

Myra felt her trick worked and smiled with a nod "yes"

"Fine, since you are not willing to show your sincerity with this then I have another task" Manik said and waved his hand. Suddenly a muscled man walked out. His size was double of any average man. His skin was rough and he looked like a person who lives a barbarian life.

"He is called Orakhsh, he is the beloved fighter of mine. Since you are so eager to prove your sincerity, go make him happy"

Myra's heart gave a jump. Make him happy? She looked at the wild man and he was looking at her with lust. Now she understands what does it meant by make him happy. But what more shocking is that Prince Manik could say this words so casually that it almost felt like normal thing. How can he say something like this? He is clearly giving her to that beast without caring a little. Don't he know what will happen to her if she take this task? Will she be able to live her life after that?

"Your highness thi..."

"Lady Myra I don't have free time. You have to choice. Whether you take the knife or go with Orakhsh. It depends on you. And if you can't then I don't mind dragging you down to the court for invading in my territory and trying to harm my reputation" Manik's cold voice stopped her pleading.

What will she do now? Myra couldn't think of any way. She thought once she seduce him, she could live in the Quasar Hall without any problem. But now she was thrown on the path with two choice. Whatever way she choose she will be the one who suffers at the end. If she took the knife then there's no guarantee if she could live or not or if she choose the other option then she will definitely die without any reason. She remembered her mother said Prince Manik was not Yuvraj who will pretend to be gentle on surface because Prince Manik is arrogant and does his work directly. Now she understood why her mother warned her about him. But she was so blind to see through it and thought she could use tricks like Zaina and will be able to achieve it.

"You are doing or not?" Manik asked again. He looked at her changing expression and laughed silently. He couldn't even give her the credit of being fool because this woman before him don't even have any brain to use at all. He would like to see what she will do since she was so scheming to think of dragging him down.

Myra 's body trembled and she don't know what to do and suddenly she cried out "why does your highness so cruel to let me do such thing? I just admire your highness and want to marry you. Why I have to give such inquest like this?"

"Humph! Before harbouring such though you should think of it clearly if you are qualified enough or not" Manik replied feeling disgust. He has seen many woman but this woman exceeded everything.

"If Nandini can marry you then why can't I? Your highness you don't know her well but I know her since childhood. She is not a good girl but behaves like good one on surface. Woman like her doesn't suit to be your princess consort. She don't even have any good background then why do you want to marry her? I am better than her in everyway"

Manik raised his eyebrows "you are better? Well you have shown your ability enough. You can't even choose a simple thing yet degrading your own family in front of others? I must say the Prime Minister of Tanishq had given a good teachings to their daughters "

"Your Highness, that's not what I mean. I wanted to say-"

"Shut up" sudden Ohas's voice echoed in the hall.

Myra turned to see her father striding inside. His face was red with anger. She never thought that her father will appear here suddenly. But why he is here?

"You have dragged the whole family down enough yet you are still accusing others?" Ohas glared at her.

Myra was so frightened that she couldn't speak. She never wanted to go back.

"Prime minister knows how to raise a daughter. Sneaking inside my hall like a thief then trying to seduce me, I am really impressed with Madam's upbringing method " Manik mocked.

Ohas's face turned red with embarrassment. He never expected that Myra would do such thing. His reputation was dragged down by his own daughter.

"I apologise for this mess your highness. My daughter is pampered from childhood and now she is getting out of hand. I promise I will teach her properly and things like this will never happen again" Ohas bowed his head.

"Prime minister please don't do such thing, I am just a prince of Quasar and couldn't take your bowing respect. Please bring your daughter back and if she appears infront of me again, I really can't promise anything next time" this was a warning and Ohas knows exactly what it is. He is the person handling court matters for years and he knows what was the meaning behind those words. His guess was correct this second Prince of Quasar is really dangerous to deal with.

"I promise you your highness " Ohas nodded and turned to Myra who was shaking. He harshly pulled her up and dragged her with him by her arm. Right now he don't even care of she was hurting or not. Today he was so angry that he was careless about this pampered daughter of him. Myra wanted to scream but the look on her father's face was something that terrified her to the core.

Watching them leaving Samarth sighed "why does this ladies always had so greed in their heart? "

"May be they eat greed in their food" Manik replied lazily.

Samarth laughed loudly "ay, why all of you stopped. Drama is finished now start the entertainment "

After that the hall started to become noisy again with singing and dancing. It felt like nothing has happened.
