The palace was dazzling Today.
Each room,each wall and each corridor was covered with yellow decorations as the maids and young girls ran around to arrange the things.

Was today my haldi?
Yes.
Did I want this?
Oh hell no.
Will be running today?
I wanted to but can't thanks to Agastya.
Will I be running in future?
Definitely yes.

I had made an awesome plan while staring at the stars last night and I'm sure this will surely work.

I sat on the large bed of my room glaring at my reflection in the mirror.
I'm already hating this to my core.

I was wearing (forced to wear)this yellow lehenga with green blouse and neutral coloured borders at the laces.
It was vibrant looking and matched my skin tone perfectly but this isn't going to make me want to kill less that asshole king.

I looked at the heavy jewelleries kept at the dressing table and just the sight of them made me cringe internally.
As a Warrior princess I was focused on wars and battles so honestly I never got the chance to wear them

As I grew up, I saw my sisters getting ready with jewelleries, pretty lehengas,with flowers in their long head but I still remember what roopmani said when I was young.

"Phool sirf heero pr jachte hai koele pr nhi"
(Flowers look good on diamonds not on coals)

My mind then went back to the letter that's still kept in my drawer.
For the first time someone actually appreciated my skin tone and this made me whelled up from inside but ofcourse I'm not going to just marry him just because he's trying to be cheesy.

This can be a sick plan too.

The door was opened as dushala walked inside.
She was wearing a yellow flowered necklace with matching earings and a yellow normal lehenga that looked so pretty on her small face.

I smiled at her.

"Looking beautiful bestie"
She rolled her eyes hitting my arm then sat beside me.

"Why aren't you ready yet?that Abhide-"

"Naam mat lo us jaahil ka humare samne".
(Don't take name of that man infront of him)

"Acha that jahil would arrive anytime now this time his whole family is coming too you should get ready or else your father will-"

"You think I care?he literally sold me! For some fucking power, money,land!"
I spat angrily feeling betrayed by my own father but no I'll not cry.

She kept her hand on my shoulder
"Aayudhi i know this is not what you wanted but believe me. Kanha ji won't let anything bad happen to you. Whatever will happen will happen for good and who knows maybe Abhidev would help you to discover the mystery that lands inside this kingdom"
She said and I looked at her.

This was a tempting idea.

He can help me surely because of all spies and power he have but ofcourse I'm too prideful to ask for that.
