SIYAASAT - Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Swadheenta
He was saying something but my whole focus was on his hot breath with is falling on my ear and his body which was plastered against mine.
" This is how you move it," he said moving the sword, I nodded.
" Now do it yourself" he pulled away from me and stand aside.
I move the sword and point it in front of him.
" Are you challenging me?" He raised his eyebrow amusingly, I nodded.
He smirked and pulled a sword which is hanging on the wall along with another sword and shield.
He moves the sword and our swords clash with each other making a screeching sound. I'm grabbing the sword by my both hands but he is only using one hand.
I start attacking him but he was just defending himself moving back. I smiled moving forward.
I don't know I was that good.
The clashing sounds of swords filled the whole area. Suddenly he moves forward and steps on my dupatta and it slips from my head opening my hair.
I twirl and attacked him and his sword fell from his hand loud sound made him come out of whatever thought he had and look at the sword which is on the ground.
He bend down but before he hand-picked the sword I stopped him by my sword and he straightened and I step forward pointing the sword on his chest.
He starts moving backwards and I move forward. His back touches the wall and I twitch my eyebrow signalling him to accept his defeat. I place the sword against his neck, moving closer to him I whisper.
" Maar diya jaye ya
Chor diya jaye"
" Mar hi diya jaye, chor dogi toh accha nahi hoga," he said coming forward, my eyes widened at his action because the sword could pierce his skin so I remove it hurriedly. I take a few steps back pushing the sword up.
" I won" I grinned at him.
I turn to leave from there but suddenly he grabbed my left hand twisting it behind my back and griping my right hand in which I'm holding the sword keeping it against my neck.
It took me two minutes to realise what just happened.
" Ab batao kya kiya jaye?" He whispered in my ear.
" This... this is cheating you can't do it. I won" I said struggling in his grip.
He comes forward in a swift motion pushing me back making me stand against the wall.
" Who said you won? The rules are not decided" he said, standing in the same position in which I was a few minutes ago.
I glare at him but suddenly a sound come and I stiffened.
" Did you hear that voice?" I whisper not wanting the ghost to hear us.
" What voice?" He said, my eyes widened.
" Shh... Keep quiet or the ghost will hear you come let's go before she came" I scold him in a low whisper.
" What are you looking at?" I asked when he didn't move from his place.
" I'm not able to understand you," he said, I knit my eyebrows.
" The thing which you should be scared of, you're not scared of it but the thing which does not even exist you're scared of it"
" Means"
" I'm standing with a sword against your throat in one motion your life will end but you're not scared of it"
" Because I know you won't kill me", he raises his eyebrow.
" Why do you trust me that much?"
" Trust? How does trust come between this? You can't kill me, killing and all isn't it what serial killers do? Moreover, if you kill me then you'll go to jail"
" I won't," he said smugly.
" Why?"
" I'll go to jail if someone's find your dead body but I'll bury it inside the palace no one even gets the idea" my eyes widened as I realised something.
" That's what happened with her" I mumbled.
" Who?" Rehan asked.
By now he remove the sword from my neck but we still standing in that position close to each other.
" That queen whose ghost is haunting the palace, I'm sure that king murdered her and now her soul is thirsty of revenge and she'll kill all the king which reside in this palace" I narrated the whole story and find him looking at me unamused.
" Wow," he said sarcastically clapping his hand" you should stop watching horror movies."
" But.."
" No, but, there is nothing like ghosts exist and even if they don't get scared of them from childhood I have heard if you are scared of something uski ankhon me ankhe dall ke dekho... " He said looking another side as if remembering those old memories.
" Pyaar se" I interrupt him.
" Pyaar se nahi" he shouted placing the hand beside me on the wall.
" Apne dar se darna nahi, use darana sikho" he said leaning closer and I lean backwards.
He is staring at me continuously without even blinking I'm not able to hold the intensity of his gaze so I move my gaze down then side then on the other side I look up and find him still staring at me.
Ok, now I'm getting uncomfortable.
I placed my hand on his chest and push him and took steps away from him. I grabbed my dupatta which was lying abandoned on the floor placing it back on top of my head.
I come out of the room with him following me. I was just walking in the corridor when I heard the sound of Rajmata's voice and I stopped.
" Now what happened? Did ghost is coming from there" He asked coming beside me.
Not ghost, but not less than it.
" Rajmata is coming from there"
" So?"
" I won't come in front of her"
" Why?"
" She will again take my surprise test"
" Suprise test?"
" Yes, you know....." And I told him all the things that happened.
" What! Then what did you say?" He asked his tone turning serious.
" The truth," I said slowly.
" And what's the truth?" He asked irritated.
" I only love three things in my life which is my family, me and my heere jawaharaat. I love them so much" I said dreamily.
" You said this " he shouted.
" Are are relax why are you getting so hyper?" He closes his eyes and sighs.
" The jewellery which the Radha Krishna idols were wearing have my heart so I sai..."
" You said this to her"
" Yes I was going to say this but she interrupt in between and I'm only able to say, Radha Krishna"
^^^^^^^^^^
Next day
Rehan Pratap Singh
" Dad announced my coronation but didn't reveal the day" I run my hands through my hair leaning against the door frame looking outside the lovely view, talking with my friends.
" At least he announced your coronation which I thought impossible after your marriage with Swadheenta," Dev said.
" That's because they don't know she is normal girl I lied to them"
" You said she is the princess of some princely state," Karthik said.
" Yeah.." I said lazily closing my eyes.
" What if your Dad comes to know about this?"
" I'm not scared of him all I want is to become the Maharaj of Madhavgarh soon then "
" Are you doing all the work?" Soham asked.
" Yes", he chuckled.
" Your Dad is making you fool by announcing about your coronation and making you all the work. Who knows he will make Nilay the Maharaj" Soham said, I straightened up.
" This will not happen I'm the heir and only I'll be the king"
" I don't think you'll get the crown now," Dev said.
" Why?"
" No one wants to give their power to anyone," Dev said.
" So you're saying I need to clear my way for reaching the crown"
" You're thinking too much, just relax," Karthik said.
" I know only one thing which is I'll do anything for the crown even it means clearing the way for the way and it doesn't matter who will come in between whether it was Nilay or Maharaj. I'll do anything for the crown" I was saying this when I hear a gasp.
I turn immediately and found Swadheenta standing with her mouth open and eyes widened with her phone in hand.
I forgot I share the room with someone.
" How... how can you think about this? She asked stepping closer.
" He is your father and brother"
" Ohh my god I'll go and tell this to everyone" she turns and goes towards the door, I smirked.
" Yeah yeah go and tell everyone" her hand stopped which was going to open the doorknob and she turned and look at me.
" Like hell, they will believe you over me" I smirked.
" They won't I know but when I'll show them the video they will," she said showing her phone, my smirk fell and glare at her.
" You were recording me," I asked angrily.
" No I was recording myself " she turn and again twist the knob and I hurriedly go towards her closing the half-open door before she can go out.
" You'll not tell this to anyone" I warn her but as stubborn she is instead of listening to me she glares at me.
I forward my hand to take her phone from her but she moves her hand behind I grab her hand pulled her to me and try to snatch her phone but she somehow snatches her hand from my hand taking a few steps back.
I take steps in her direction trying to intimidate her and smirked when I see her going back but something surprised me.
Is she showing me her eyes?
I taught her how to look in the eyes and she is showing me her eyes. I continue moving forward till she glance back and I push her making her sit on the bed.
I place my foot on edge of the bed leaning closer to her she is too busy staring that she didn't realise I snatch her phone.
I show her phone and her eyes widened. It's so nice whatever she felt reflects on her face.
" Now you'll sit here comfortably and don't do anything," I said calmly.
I turn and come out of the room not before locking the door from outside I hear banging her door from inside.
Do whatever you want no one will hear you.
I switch on her phone but it's demanding a password.
Damnit.
No what do I do? I need to do something so she forgets about whatever happened because I can't lock her forever.
Idea!
I know how she'll keep her mouth shut. I picked up my phone and call someone.
After a few minutes, I open the door and come inside and found her sitting on the bed. She saw me and come towards me.
" If you think you'll get my phone and clear the storage your video will get deleted then you're wrong my things stored in the cloud...."
I show her the thing which is I'm holding and her talking stops in the middle as she saw it.
" How beautiful it is," she said forwarding her hand to take the diamond necklace but I keep it out of her reach.
" Let me see," she said forwarding her hand again.
" No, first unlock your phone" I give her the phone and she unlocks it and I snatch her before she does something else and delete the video which was accidentally recorded and give her the necklace.
I look at her and found her admiring the necklace.
" You'll not say anything that happened to anyone" I warn her.
" What happened?" she said looking clueless and I smile.
She is intelligent.
One problem is solved now let's look at the problems which are between me and crown.
