Parvati is like a bull, he made everyone run and find Shourya as soon as possible, she even threatened all her enemies, she is now shattered.

King Sindhubhirav when found that Shourya is missing he rubbed off the news saying find him in any girls wing, he felt more ashamed and irritated.

Here Nischala is in agony. All her dreams shattered, her life shattered, she becoming a concubine is shame on her pride, she couldn't take this news well, she shouted screamed shattered whole room, made everything smashed, but nothing stopped her from becoming Concubine,

Sulochana came with some silver jewellery and presented them to Nischala, she covered her with a red choli, "from this moment you are kings lady, you will never cross the line with the queen, you will respect her, the daily morning before prayer you will see her and wish her, helps her to come to puja room, you will not call her with name only address her as Ranisa, and you will call king as hukum, you will not enter Raj mahal, Rajsabha, and kings wing. If queen says anything you will just obey even if it is to stay away from King you have to obey, you will receive monthly wages from her, you will wear only silver even if queen gifts you, you will not wear them, most important even if she is your younger sister you are her husband  concubine so never talk back of her" sulochana explained

"If you disobey, and if you do any blunder you will receive harsh punishment, King and I will punish you most other than queen, so beware of this, tomorrow morning you will get ready by five and come to king help to get ready to marriage don't be late" she warned and left.

Nischala cried hell out of it, she is unable to take this disaster, after crying for hours she felt all this happened because of Mrunalini, she took her dagger and left to see her

Here Mrunalini is surrounded by a crowd, some daisies giving her fan, some packing her things with the help of Radha, some are pressing her legs and hands, some are preparing Haldi, some are arranging clothes and jewellery, for next day ritual, but she is in deep thinking, "how cruel he became? How can he do this to my father? Because of him, I endured these many years of pain, Rudra took away like that? How can he do this?"

She got up from bed "Radha! Go to Maharaj and inform him to answer my questions first then this marriage will happen if not no" she is gritting her teeth in anger.

Radha ran out, found Nischala coming in anger, she panicked before she could do anything two lady guards stopped her
"You can't go in"
"How dare you stop me I will kill all, just move" she ordered
They pushed her harshly, her dasi came  running to hold her, Nischala got tears but managed it and shouted "how dare you" she is screaming at them, listening to screams, Mrunalini came out "what happened?" she asked
"Ranisa she is intruding on your privacy and without informing she is coming inside"
"This is my house I can go anywhere" Nischala shouted with frustration.
"Not to this wing," they said in union
"Leave her, let her come in" Mrunalini ordered
They gave path, she came in force taking her dagger in swift to attack Mrunalini in rage "you low life you can never become queen, not to my Rajasa" she tried to stab but Mrunalini sharply escaped guards held her tight blowing whistle

Within no time whole Mahal guards came king queen yuvaraj and Manjunath came running, seeing Nischala on the ground with guard keeping the knee on her back to press her down holding her both hands gave shock, Queen shouted "how dare you to leave here now"
"She attacked our Ranisa unless the king punishes her we are not going to leave her," the guard said. All the other guards surrounded Mrunalini
"Leave her I can protect myself," Mrunalini said
"Kshama Ranisa but Maharaj strictly ordered us and Our Ranisa warned us to keep lady out of your sight"
King felt more ashamed before he could say anything Jai came running "what happened? How is Ranisa? Did anything happen to her? Cover her now?" he ordered. Dasi brought a choli and covered her head and face
"Move, what happened?" Jai asked
Guards left Nischala, she got up, "Maharaj she attacked Ranisa"
"Call her Maharanisa you worthless, if anyone addresses her less I will strangle their head, and what are you people doing? How can she go near Maharanisa? Is this the way you guard her?" he shouted
"Kneel" he shouted at Nischala, she shivered at his tone and anger, guards made her kneel she is shocked. She didn't expect him to be this harsh with her, she had hope that he will turn the tables by tomorrow
"As my concubine, you should respect and protect my Ranisa how dar you attack her?" he said with a cold tone burning eyes, everyone presents they shiver with fear,
"She is the main reason for all this, she made me do this," she said while crying
"According to my knowledge, she always stopped you meeting me, even on dolustav when you met me at dark alley she slapped me saying this is wrong and I should not meet you like that"
"But she prevoked me"
"How? Did she know you came to meet me at the cave so many time?"
Nischala became silent her wet eyelids battled
"Both of you shut up! Nobody wants to listen to your personal rasaleela here, look around, elders are present, even younger, shame on you, leave my place now" Mrunalini said with disgust
"Kshama Ranisa, I will keep in mind next time, and you, you will stay in a dungeon till morning without water and food next time if I see you doing anything as such I will kill you, I am not your bhabasa who will ignore your doings and let my Ranisa suffer" he ordered guards to take her away

Queen stood in front of Nischala "no no you can't do this to her she us my daughter no"
"Rajaji! I am born to be the queen, please say me this is all just joke you will marry me" Nischala begged
" take her away and queen she is my concubine now, I can punish her if you disobey, let us fight then I will punish her and punishment will be her death this time" Jai warned everyone face went pale

Mrunalini took the sword from the guard "move" she shouted
"Nobody will threaten my Bhabasa, not even you," she said revolving her sword and positioning herself to fight with him challenging him,
"Jai laughed "Ranisa tomorrow our marriage and this night you want me to have a weird fight with you? I promise in our Mahal at our ground we both will have this due. About challenging king, that is not my intention, he is your father I always will respect him, but they can't challenge my rights, she is my concubine now" he said with anger
"Queen I hope you don't want to make this hard to move, and guards take her away," he said softly.

"Move away" the king ordered "no one will interfere in their family matters getaway and all of you do your works tomorrow, we have a marriage" he dragged his wife. All others shattered
Guards took crying Nischala away.

Jai turned to Mrunalini "Parihar" he said all walked away and stood a little away,

"Maharanisa! I am warning you whenever you try to protect her, I will make her punish double so beware of that?"
"Why did you do all this? Why did you put my father in shame why? " she asked with tears
"He stood silent when this lady  harassing you"
"That doesn't mean you will make him this vulnerable" she cried
"Don't cry Maharanisa, I can't see you crying if you want you can slap me?" he said with mischief
"You are disgusting I will never forgive you for making me marry you especially doing this to Didisa, and making my father beg you," she said in anger
"Ushhhhh relax don't think about all this you should take rest for two to three days you will be tired, be safe," he said with a smile
"Guards I will kill you bit by bit if even a mosquito bites my Ranisa, till I take her with me you will safeguard her properly" he warned everyone and walked away.

Mrunalini came back, she had dinner and slept thinking about her father, she is so angry with herself that she couldn't protect his dignity, she not in dream thought Nischala would do such thing, is she the one instigated her? She got this question struck

The next day early morning Nischala is been taken out of the dungeon, all night she feared of sleep if she sleeps those flies will bite her. So she scared to sleep,

Morning she was made to freshen up and got ready in silver jewellery, she got tears, then taken to Sulochana

"Last night what was that? What I explained didn't fit in your brain I assume, Latha bent her and beat her twenty" she ordered, Nischala for first time scared a lot she shrieked "no no please no I beg you no"
"I heard you punished our Ranisa a lot, now it's your turn" she nodded. Nischala was bent and got twenty beatings with a stick on her hips" she screamed cried begged but nothing stopped with that. She cried a lot

"Go to Maharaj, help him to getting ready now"
"No need Masa! You take her help, today I want to be happy, " Jai said taking blessing from her

"Bless you with lots of children. Happiness and victory" she blessed him, did arthi to him and made him sit. "Come on let me help you" she started making him ready.
"From now on I am free, your ranisa will deal with your stubbornness," she said happily
"Nah masheb she is a most stubborn girl she will make your head blast don't say that I didn't warn you"
"I will make her more stubborn" she laughed
