The words from Amanya were not enough to impress Ashok. He couldn't figure out the reason for her tolerance towards Amai or Mekala. Though he despised the whole Amai, its king, commander, and those old greasy ministers he admired its crown prince. He decided to cross her orders and ignite the game.
Wild winds screamed all its way in the west. The tempest was increasing day by day; the land had no remaining traces of green. Scouts from the military camp was the only noise in the cold desert. The soldiers were diligent, ready to attack like a cheetah. The fire lamps around the tent were the only warmth in the west. The crimson light kissed his lashes and refracted through his eyes. He gazed at the white pearls tangling with wind. But what he could see was her warm smile. It was replicated on his face.
"Bruddah!!" Abhik was perplexed at his brother's smile.
"Bruddah!! Why are you smiling?"
"Her smile is contagious. I can't help it." Yuvan smiled foolishly.
"I just hope di is fine. Bruddah.. I am really afraid."
"I know." His face changed like a dense ocean. The deeper it is, the darker it turned.
"Lord.." Charan barged into his tent with a small note in his hand. "Ashok has sent a message."
"Thank god, bruddah thought of assigning Ashok for protecting di. I will read it." Abhik took the note and started to recite.
"Prince, I am ... " Abhik suddenly muted his speech and read it with a pressing glance. He pounded its edges in fit.
"Bruddah, his voice turned coarse; I don't know what you will do. Teach that b**** a lesson. " He quashed the note on the floor and left the tent.
Yuvan opened the note
Lord, I am sorry for my incompetence. Mekala is crossing her limits and subjugates the princess. She let this matter slide and was against reporting it to you. She is blocking me from taking action.
"She is waiting for me to give her justice. Charan, Yuvan turned to him in pique; ''When can we return?"
"Lord, our mission was completed almost a week ago but the snowfall is risky. We may have to wait for another couple of days to clear the road."
"Hmmm"; his vulnerability was clear in his sound.
