His court is far too empty these days. He attends only public grievances and nothing more.

Zayn's every tactic was failing, even after searching every square inch of the palace, it was becoming impossible to find that soldier as if he never existed.

Now, he knows one thing for sure whoever planned against harriet is within his family. No outsider have this courage to do and only royal members knows every inch of the palace.

"Adaab ammi Jaan" Both of them greeted trishna.

"Allah, tum dono ko hamesha salamat rakhe" ( May Allah keep you both safe ).

King Zayn sat on his throne with his queen beside, his soul, his other half, his confidante.

"Mehfill shuru ki jaaye" ( Start the mehfil ). 

Heavy scented, heavily ornamented but scantily clad, royal dancers entered to pleasure everyone's eyes. But zayn's eyes were searching the culprit among the crowd maintaining a neutral face. 

laakh is dil ko humane samajaayaa,
dil yahaa phir bhi humako le aayaa..
