NARRATOR'S P.O.V

The hall was crowded with the close pals of the King of Jaisalmer. The wedding was over and the sobbing bride of unhinged King was escorted to their room. Only the males were now in attendance in the hall. The sound of gunshots can be heard till miles away from the palace. Besides the bad stench of liquor was wafting away to the room of the bride making her feel nauseous. On the extreme right of the hall, the King sat with his two beloved pals on the settee.
"You know I seriously feel that you aren't normal. " Viraj said looking at Yuvraj with furrowed brows, sipping the water of life. The obsidian haired man smirked.
"Might I know why.!! " the sea green eyed man asked with a smirk. Samrat hushedly heard their conversation. Viraj gulped the remaining whisky down his throat before looking at him.
"The shithead, hunchback, says you are a ghost. That your orbs hue changes. Besides your eye colour is kinda weird. I mean I haven't seen anyone with your kind of eye colour. " viraj said looking at him with one brow raised. Yuvraj smiled.
"Mr Ranawat, I am as normal as you are. Trust me. " the sea green eyed man said with a smile. Samrat chuckled.

Chirag and his fellow gang members danced in the middle of the hall. Samrat guffawed as he watched their silly dancing. Howbeit in the corner of the room, hunchback sat on the chaise lounge hushedly. He wasn't dancing like others besides he hadn't uttered a solitary word since the wedding. Samrat sighed as he watched him, sitting lonely in the corner. He knew why was he so upset. It was because he was against this forced marriage. The hunchback might be an imbecile man but he wasn't someone who would force anyone chiefly a woman. Samrat knew that his hunchback cousin was a soft hearted man.
"Do you know the castle you live in, the natives believe that it was the castle of that...What was his name.!!! Um....Door, no way. Dear, no........" viraj said as he racked his brain to remember the name of the person who was the original owner of the castle.
"The Dark King. " yuvraj said as he smirked.
"Yeah and you know there are a tons of stories surrounding him. People say he used to sleep on the corpses. " viraj said looking at him. Yuvraj smiled in pure amusement.
"And don't you remember those paranoid natives said that his bed was constructed out of the bones of the humans. " samrat said. Viraj nodded.
"What.!!!!" the green eyed man couldn't help but guffaw.
"Only humans can make these imbecile tales. " he chortled puzzling the King and his pal.
"Why would you say that.!! " Viraj asked raising his brow.
"Um..nothing. " he chuckled. Meantime chirag came towards the sturdy males catching the attention of the gents.
"Is there something wrong chirag!!!" samrat queried raising his brow. Chirag sighed.
"Boss, him. " he whispered pointing his finger at the lonely sitting hunchback.
"My cousin brother is a bit upset. " samrat said looking at the hunchback.
"Don't worry, I'll handle him. " Viraj said as he stood up from the settee. The other two males stood along with him. Three of them proceeded towards the lonely hunchback.
"Hunchback. " Viraj said sitting beside him. Hunchback didn't reply. He was outright furious with them for ruining the life of an innocent girl who meant no harm to them.
"Hunchi. " Viraj said nudging him on his shoulder. The obstinate hunchback was in no mood to engage in any kind of conversation with them. Hence he stayed quiet. Howbeit the gents were also obdurate on talking to him.
"Hunchu. " Viraj said tapping on his shoulder. Hunchback groaned in vexation as he looked away. Samrat sighed.
"Oh come on hunchback, stop behaving like an angry girlfriend. " Viraj said with a frown. Hunchback glared at him.
"Do you even have a bit sense of shame left in you. Huh!!!!! What did you achieve after ruining that girl's life.!! What wrong she did to you brother!!!! And you Viraj. As a friend you had the responsibility to stop brother from doing this but no, you supported him instead. Same goes for you Yuvraj. You all are responsible for her misery and her ruined life. " hunchback bawled his heart out at his brother and his heartless friends. Samrat knew that he wasn't wrong but he wasn't even trying to understand his own brother's feelings. He felt the agony of the girl but not of his brother who was dying every single day from inside for not having her. If she was correct than he also wasn't wrong. Everyone saw her sobs but no one saw his bleeding heart. He too feels pain but who bothers.
"Hunchback Samrat didn't ruin her life, don't make up things by yourself. Samrat loves her and he will always cherish and love her. She abhors him now but in future she would love him too. Because his love is pure, trust me hunchback your brother isn't wrong. He ain't a monster. " yuvraj said crossing his arms over his muscular chest. Hunchback scowled.
"Yeah of course, congratulations brother for snatching a girl's freedom and locking her up in your cage forever. " hunchback said as he stood up and dashed towards his room.
"Hunch....." samrat couldn't complete as he left before that.
"He will get alright till tomorrow. " Viraj chuckled. Samrat nodded with a smile.
"Well I have to leave for my castle. Congratulations samrat, best wishes to you and nandini. " Yuvraj said with a smile. Samrat hugged him as he was about to leave.
"I should take a leave too as I am certain that my room would be a mess right now. Thanks to my baby's annoying friends. Trust me if pari hadn't requested me, I would ne'er have let them in my house. " viraj frowned and the two males chuckled. Hugging Samrat for one last time, both the males egress out of the palace.
"Ready for yells Samrat. " he said to himself as he let out a sigh.
