Raghav POV

"Yayay!"

My baby Roop sneered, as she overpowered me this time. However, it was me who deliberately lost this combat against her, just because I love to witness her precious smile.

"But I know you did it deliberately, bhaiya!"

She pouted. Aww my baby!

"No baby! You are becoming stronger, that's why you could defeat an invincible warrior like me."

I boasted myself, posing as a warrior and she chuckled.

"Bhaiya, you are so good."

Her words made me happier. After going through the chaos of the kingdom, she had always been my solace. We were not related to each other by blood, but our relationship was deeper. Roop was turning into a fearless princess, and I don't know why, but I was developing an urge to have a daughter like her, which seemed practically impossible since she resembled Princess Chandralekha - someone I couldn't even marry in my dreams!

"Will you get me a steel sword, bhaiya?"

Little Princess enquired, waving the wooden sword, in the air.

"Definitely! I'll get a little pointed sword for you this time, from the ports."

I answered, making her rush towards me, and hug me tightly. I came on my knees, assembling her head over my shoulder. She pecked my cheek lovingly, earning a genuine grin from me.

"I love you, bhaiya! If I get stuck in any harsh situation ever, I would definitely be able to save myself now."

She declared, and I cupped her little pink cheeks immediately

"No, my baby! Why would I leave you alone in such a situation? I'll always stand by your side to guide you, protect you and save you."

I exclaimed, and she held my wrist.

"You seem worried, bhaiya! Is something wrong?" She interrogated, a line of tension appearing on her soft forehead.

"Hey! Don't get worried! Your chubby face does not look good getting stressed."

I teased her, earning a loving slap on my chest.

"You are bad, bhaiya." She pouted again.

"Okay! Another combat?" I passed the wooden sword back to her, and took the warrior position again.

Yuddhjeet POV

"I'll tell you better ways to torture her than just fucking her. Trust me I'm your mother."

My mother exclaimed, and I smirked.

"I think your marriage will take place within a month."

She spoke bluntly, with the same inscrutable disposition.

"I am not going to marry her now. I want to make her my slave."

I announced, anger getting on my nerves.

"Even I don't like her. She is too simple for our family, but I never denied this alliance in the past few years because there is something that this simple stupid girl can give us."

She said in a low voice and I listened to her carefully while she continued

"We use five ports for the shipping of arms to western countries, especially Arabia. The money that we receive from these countries is the main source of the fulfillment of your fetishes and don't forget the girls. You are crazy about Egyptian girls. They gift you these slaves because we supply them arms and technical equipments. Also I personally want to help them with Bharatiya herbs that are available only on our land as they will pay us four times for this. Out of these five ports one comes under Devgarh and we need the Royal stamp of Devgarh on the shipment letter to make sure our ships leave the port, but this stupid loyal king Vishwaroop has never agreed to this. He wants honesty everywhere. I can't lose this offer right now. I was the one who encouraged your father to establish this relationship with Arabia even after knowing that they have an evil eye on Bharat. I really don't care about this bloody country. All I want is my dominance, our dominance, my child! That is why I am grappling for this deal. I know that this Vishwaroop is somewhat aware of our intentions. He doesn't know our plan completely, but he always ruins my plan by restraining the ships at his port. Devgarh has the largest port and we need it."

Whatever she said blew my mind definitely. All I knew till now was bloodshed, women and drinks, but whatever she told me right now was the actual rule. She was the reason why Vijaygarh had become the ruling Kingdom of North western Bharat. I was about to ask a few questions, but she resumed

"Earlier, I only wanted the safe and secret departure of our ships, but now I want this Vishwaroop dead. He can question us someday if he lives. We can use his daughter against him. She is crazy after you and my dear son, learn to use people who love you instead of throwing tantrums every now and then."

I raised my one brow at her statement. Killing was definitely my passion but how could we do it with a king so easily? I thought for a while and questioned her

"How will we kill him? Like he is a King. We can't plan his murder so easily. That bastard was expecting me to touch his feet. I would love to see him dead, but how?"

She smirked at my question and uttered

"Use his daughter. Win her trust and get the location of the Royal stamp. Steal it and I'll do the rest. Coming to his death, remember we trafficked the physically challenged girls to other states of Bharat and certain states of Arabia; many of those girls were secretly kidnapped from the Ashram of Devgarh. I'll make a plan where we can frame Vishwaroop as the one who trafficked these poor girls and the public will turn against him. I will ruin his Godly image and make sure that he dies like a criminal. He always stood as a barrier between me and my dreams. I will finish him now."

Now, this was an amazing plan. If Vishwaroop gets framed for women trafficking then nobody will ever question us about this activity and we will be safe forever in the both the ways.

"You're a genius, mother!"

I said and she chuckled

"You should also become like me, my son. You have no idea how much struggles I've faced to get you as my son."

She became silent all of a sudden, and I could sense something wrong. Every time when she talked to me for a longer time period she ended up the conversation like this. What actually was her struggle? I really wanted to know that. Like every time, I quizzed her again

"What were those struggles, mother?"

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on me when she muttered

"I need to leave now. Call Amar and make some plan to the royal stamp of Devgarh."

She said in an authoritative voice and left. She didn't tell me about those struggles again. Anyway I walked to entrance and asked my guard to send Amar to my chamber.

After some time Amar arrived and I told him about the port of Devgarh and why we needed the stamp to continue our work. He thought for some time and suggested me

"You should meet the Princess again and ask her about her Palace and the Kingdom. Between those conversations try to know about the location of the royal stamp too. I am very sure it must be with the King. If this comes out to be true, ask her to arrange it for you. Make her feel that it's important for both the kingdoms."

I listened to him carefully and proclaimed

"She is innocent, but I don't think she is stupid. Why would she give her Royal stamp to me? Why would she steal it for me? What if Vishwaroop comes to know about it?"

He sneered at me and said

"Women are emotional creatures. They crave love and this woman of yours, she lives in fairytales. Make her feel like she is in a fairytale. Act like a romantic man for some time and get what you want. It would be great if she agrees to sleep with you in this process."

A devilish smile plastered on my face, at his suggestion.

He left after having some other conversations with me and I retired to sleep.

I woke in the morning with a plan. I took a quick bath and reached the dining hall where everyone was waiting for me for the breakfast. I sat on the chair allotted to me and kept looking at the Princess. She stole glances of me and smiled shyly. All of ate silently. Before we could leave, Vishwaroop announced

"The Rajpurohit has given me two dates for marriage ceremony. One is within a month and the other is after three months."

"After a month; that would be the date."

I exclaimed! Everyone congratulated each other once again and we all started walking back to our chambers. I moved towards my chamber and luckily Princess's chamber was in the way. I stopped at her chamber and the sentinel announced my presence. She came out and held my hand to take me in.

Ahhh! This task is going to be interesting.
