Chapter 231: The Hidden pass
Few days back, on one ominous night, King Dravya from Gorkha Kingdom got an ominous news about her sister’s ambush.
At that time, he was in the imperial palace conducting meetings with Shadi Khan in preparation for the joint military operation on Kashmir.
He was furious at first as to how her sister got targeted in a place believed to be the safest, and that too when their potential hostilities lay miles away.
He made his mind then and there that no matter what, he will leave the empire first and return to his kingdom back to tackle all the challenges himself.
But then it was Aditya who came in his way and formally apologised, making him aware that it was an attempt from Ladakhi spies who wanted to dust the name of the empire by assassinating one of the guests and by fate it turned out to be her sister.
They aimed to distract and delay the war preparations but didn’t expected to get caught.
Aditya pledged that he will do his utmost and take care of her sister as a top priority, and it would not be in the best interest of her sister to travel in an injured condition.
For the time being, Dravya calmed himself and waited for the perfect opportunity to slip away. But as he witnessed the Bhargavian prince giving his all to the princess’s security and even staying by her side, his anger eventually subsided.
No matter what others said, the treatment and privileges he received after his sister’s injury were also satisfactory. It left an impression in his mind that the prince was righteous, and perhaps he should revise his strategy regarding the empire and focus on finding the hidden pass to Ladakh.
And that would be the perfect revenge.
Now, he made his way to his sister’s chamber to check on her condition. This time, he was more relaxed, as Aditya had allowed his guards to be stationed for her security in greater numbers than usual. With a faint smile of privilege, he entered to greet his sister but couldn’t help feeling tense as he noticed the presence of another person.
His sharp eyes softened as he observed the scene. Aditya, the Crown Prince of Bhargav, personally taking care of my sister?
