Rana Udai Singh chuckled and gently cupped her cheeks saying, "You honestly must learn to let go of him now. He isn't so small anymore..."
"But ranaji...I barely got to spend time with Kunwar Pratap when he was small...It is, as though I've lost a major part of his childhood..."
Rana Udai Singh sighed heavily replying, "If only Jaivantabai ji was not so paranoid, Kunwar Pratap would've led a comfortable life in the palace..."
Rani Dheerbai nodded with a melancholic smile over her lips.
