Robert said, I am from the Greek dynasty, and hearing this, Alexander, saw that man in shock, and he understood that Robert is his captain in the Greek Army, but he was standing still to know about what's happening. Robert continued," Your highness, I have a skill of fighting without an opponent, I cannot do anything. Kindly arrange me for the opponent. Hearing this Prakash came forward, but Rudra told him to back off, because it was Prakash, and Rudra himself wanted to talk with Robert.
Rudra approached Robert and started fighting. In the midst of fighting, Rudra was asking so many questions, and Robert answered them in surprising manner, that made Rudra confident about him and he dropped the sword, so that Robert was declared winner. Seeing that everyone was shocked and Pratap understood that something fishy was going on. Tracy doesn't like that Rudra lost, but she knows that he did that for some purpose.
Alexander was proud but he knew that Robert was not as skilful as Rudra, no one can beat him easily. But he understood that Rudra was doing it on purpose, so he decided to speak with Robert and then to Rudra. King Pratap also thought in this way. At the end of the party engagement rings were exchanged and the closing of ceremony were declared. Marriage days were declared after searching for an auspicious day and he closed the ceremony with a closing speech.
All guests left one by one, some were sad, some were happy and some were filled with jealousy. After all the guests left King Pratap told everyone to gather the next morning in the family room. In olden days separate rooms are created for every gathering, if it is a family meeting then a room for family gatherings are made separately. If it is a Public Gathering, then also the hall of public gathering was also available.
Pratap felt that it is better to talk in the morning, than at midnight. All are tired with the ball also fighting. He knows that both of them are having so many questions but no one is asking because they love him, and his decision is always the correct decision. All of them went to their rooms and were ready to sleep but in the house of Alexander and in the room of Pratap some were very furious.
The night rides in on a horse of pure midnight, spreading a quilt of velvet with shining and, beckoned by the stars under the glow of a full moon. As the colours of the day rest, perhaps dream of the morrow, the hillside becomes its monochrome beauty, shapes that make an ever-changing, ever-present puzzle, question and answer united. In this night we all become one, from rock to plant to animal, one promise of life awaiting the return of the sun.
In the room of Pratap, Queen was furious and she was walking up and down like a lioness who was mad," As King Pratap entered, she asked him rudely and furiously," Your Highness, how do you decide match for my own children, that also without discussing with, me. Does it have any value or place in your life?" She continues, "You are continuously doing things according to your will, I never obstruct you in any of the decisions you make, because I feel that you have a good and genuine purpose behind this. But this is totally out of control. Fixing marriages, without asking our children, also with two different cultural people.
Rudravathi continued," Will those girls become part of our family, will they adopt our culture, you thought about it. What will happen if they betray us? You know anything about Alexander, and his beautiful daughters. A beautiful face is sometimes the head of evil, how you forget that. Rudravathi stopped after taking a deep breath. When she calms down, Pratap finally speaks by holding her in his arms. She tries to push him but cannot do that, because she is only regretting that she is not told about the marriage.
After that Pratap started explaining to her," Would you think that I will take any hasty decision, in the case of our children. The world is changing rapidly, I have been noticing them for days now. Alexander is a widower, he bought up his two daughters, alone, his position is in danger. Pratap continued," He was very worried about his daughters, because both the daughters don't have a mother. He came to me by asking for help, as a powerful ruler.
When he came to me, I saw a weak father, fearing that if he left this universe, no one would be behind him to protect his daughters. At that time, I thought to myself, If I am in his position, what will I do? I also thought that maybe he has ulterior motives, but that is not the case. Whatever he told was correct and true. I sent some spies in his country, and collected all information about their origin.
Pratap continued," Even though he doesn't have power, he has good financial support, and also, he belongs to the Royal families of the Greek Empire. Both girls are princess only and my spies were watching each and every move of all six of them. Hearing that the Queen spoke furiously," You send your spies behind our children, it is not at all accepted by your highness.
Pratap holds her by her waist, and again tries to calm her by using a kiss, this time she becomes cooler. She continued," You are becoming old but you still have not left your dirty tricks, what you are up to now." Pratap continued," I am still younger than you, your face is starting to show wrinkles and whitening, but I don't have that. Rudravathi smiled and said," You are so romantic today, fine I will not be furious now, continue your story.
Pratap said," My little wife is now interested in listening to the stories, as you loved to listen when you first married to me. You remember you were just fourteen years old, and I was just sixteen. I am seeing that little girl today, which was lost years ago. A shyness spread in her eyes, and Pratap continued," Our boys started loving that girl from the day they entered into the palace with Alexander.
I am noticing every movement of them. Also, Smitha was in love with the person who won the fight, I also know that but never thought that she will go to that extend to get her lover to the fighting ground. Hearing all this, Ruthravathi stayed dumb stuck. Pratap said," It getting late, rest of the story you will see tomorrow.
On the other side there is Alexander, sitting in the midst of two girls, as a prisoner, who did a big sin. Both of them were staring as a lioness towards their prey, ready to hunt and kill. Stella said," Are we a burden for you that you were selling us to royalty, we never committed a sin to you that you are imprisoning us in the hands of the military official." Tracy said," Dad we are not allowed to take this kind of decision, or for you we are just chess pieces to accomplish your peace treaty. What will happen next? Will the marriage happen? What will Pratap do after knowing all the secrets of the children? You see all this in the next updates. This chapter is happening in the past so I created it according to the ancient mindset of the people. I will come to the present after some more chapters, until then enjoy the past life of the characters. Don't forget to comment and message me.
