Mohini POV 

Its the next day of coronation, and we are heading out to give last farewell to those traders who set up their trade here without permission. 

I even set up the letter for my father by them. 

It is clear warning from my side that he needs to stop his nasty tricks. 

This is the last time he will be forgiven and if he still doesn't get the memo, next time our actions will be more hard than this. 

We arrive outside of the palace door. 

Every trader has been gathered up outside with their things by our soldiers. 

They all bow in front of us in greeting with melancholic expression. 

They are responsible for their own actions not me. 

Right now Yuvraj, me, Viraj dewarsa, Ekansh dewarsa and Swati are standing here to properly send them back. 

I forgot that he is not Yuvraj anymore, he is Raja-sa from yesterday only. 

Raja-sa woke up in the morning to check the preparation of their leave and whether it is comfortable or not. 

He told me how proud of me he was after he came in our room. 

I felt so special hearing that and even I felt proud of myself for standing up for myself which is a first for me. 

They never did anything wrong to me, they only followed their king blindly and treated me like I have no value. 

They had the power to treat me however they wanted because of their king. 

Now the tables have turned. 

Now I have the power to choose how to treat them and punish them if they do something wrong. 

So I have no remorse for what I did. 

One of them steps forward and says with a sad voice, 

'We are fully ready, we have closed down our shop and tied up all our things.' 

He looks at me with so much sadness and melancholy thinking I will melt to this and stop him but I just continue to look at him with cold face. 

When he doesn't get any response for me, he turns his face to Raja-sa and Raja-sa says, 

'Good that you did it on your own, everything is ready for your journey to Malwa and don't worry, I have tried to make the journey as comfortable as possible.' 

His face falls at that reply so he says in monotone voice, 

'Ab hum aapki anumati lete hai Raja-sa and Rani-sa.' 

'Now we seek your permission to leave, King and Queen.' 

He emphaisis on Rani-sa like I will be hurt he didn't call me Rajkumari but it doesn't matter to me. 

I would rather be the Rani-sa of Suryagarh than Rajkumari of Malwa. 

Because the respect and love I received from Suryagarh is far greater than what I got in Malwa. 

Which reminds me that I have to give the letter. 

I look at Swati and sign,

'Stop them and bring the letter I had given to you.' 

She nods her head and hands me the letter that she has tucked in her lehenga. 

When Swati stops them, they look at me with hope. 

I sign as Swati translates, 

'I want one of you to make sure that this letter to reach my father, king of Malwa when you reach there.' 

The hope vanishes from their eyes and one of them steps forward taking the letter with them. 

Then they are lead out from the Suryagarh which gives me the breath of relief. 

After they vanish from our sight, we move inside the palace. 

Raja-sa moves to his office with his friends after giving me a smile. 

I move to my room and sign to Swati, 

'Bring Surreya to the sitting area in pond.' 

She nods her head and goes from there. 

I move to the sitting area after picking up the scroll from the room and take my seat in the sitting area. 

Its time to give the women of Harem the gift of our coronation. 

After sometime, Swati comes back alone with a frown and lost in her thoughts. 

I snap my fingers gaining her attention and she jerks at the sound, then she rushes to me. 

I sign, 

'What are you doing here, that too alone?' 

She looks disturbed then she sits down beside me and says, 

'I heard something which is really concerning for me.' 

I frown but wait for her to continue, 

'Hum jab Surreya ko lene waha gaye toh humne uske kamre se kuch aisi baat sunayi dee jo hume ajeeb lagi.' 

'When I went to pick up Surriya, I heard something coming from her room which we found strange.' 

I sign, 

'What type of talk?' 

She answers while whispering which seemed odd, 

'Humne Surreya ko RajTilak se ek din pehle hi bol diya tha ki aap usse RajTilak ke baad milna chahengi, aapko usse harem se juddi kuch baat karni hai.' 

'I had told Surriya a day before the coronation that you would like to meet her after the coronation, you have to talk to her about something related to the harem.' 

She takes a pause then continues, 

'She agreed but with disinterest, like she was not bothered that you called her, her lack of respect for you angered me.' 

Its not a new thing for me that she didn't looked bothered by it. 

She is going by the principal that I can't do anything to her, she thinks I have no power in front of Raja-sa. 

If she gets in trouble, she will just go and cry in front of Raja-sa but I don't know why Swati is telling me all this. 

Swati seeing my impatience continues, 

'Pehle toh laga ki woh Raja-sa ki dum par ucchal rahi hai, par wo waha par kisi baandi se baat kar rahi thi jab hum usse lene gaye.' 

'At first I thought she was jumping because of the king, but she was talking to some maid when I went to pick her up.' 

I sign with gritting teeth, 

'Stop whispering and talking in circles.' 

She realises what she is doing so she leans back with an apologetic smile and I just glare at her to continue, 

'Baandi ne usse pochha ki kya vah aapke saamane aane se dara rahi hai ya nahin, to usne kaha ki vah jo kuch bhi kahe uska haram mein koi asaar nahi hoga kyonki haram ki shakti antatah Chandani ke haath mein hai.' 

'Maid asked him whether she was scared of coming in front of you or not, she told her that no matter what you say, that would make no difference to Haram because the power of Haram is in the hands of Chandani.' 

I turn shocked at that, then she continues 

'Usne ye bhi kaha ki woh sirf naam ke liye harem ke mukhya hai, par asal mein yaha wahi hota hai jo Chandani chahti hai.' 

'She also said that she is the head of the harem only in name, but in reality what happens here is what Chandni wants.' 

I sign,

'How can a normal whore has so much power there?' 

Swati replies with distress, 

'That's what I can't understand.' 

I sign while thinking, 

'I don't think that she have this much power just because she had been Raja-sa's favourite. It may have played as a factor but its not the reason.' 

Swati also becomes thoughtful and nods her head, agreeing with me. 

She says, 

'We have to first figure that out before we make any changes in the harem.' 

I nod, agreeing with her. 

She is right, I can't do this right now. I think to ask Raja-sa directly but I don't think he will be open to express it. 

If I can't find anything on my own then only I will approach Raja-sa. 

He has just became the king and have those responsibilities as it is, I can't add more to it right now. 

I am also the queen, and this, I can handle but unlike last time I will ask for help if I am not able to do it properly or if I have difficulty. 

Night comes and Raja-sa enters the room looking so tired. 

I have just changed into my night attire. I move to him as he removes his jewellery in front of mirror. 

I put my hands on his back on top of his clothes then rub from top to down, then move to his arm, gently rubbing. 

I move my hand from his arms to his shoulders then to his waist and hug him from behind. 

My hand goes to his stomach as I hold him, laying my head on his back getting a sense of peacefulness. 

He puts his hand on me and says, 

'Hume kshama kar dijiyega Mohini ki aaj kal hum aapko apna samay nahi de paa rahe hai.' 

'Forgive me Mohini, these days I am not able to give you our time.' 

I frown at that. How can he be sorry for serving his people? 

I understand that Suryagarh is a developing empire and needs lot of attention right now, and we have lifetime with each other. 

I pull back then turn him to me and sign slowly so he can understand, 

'Never be sorry to serve your people, they deserve the attention of their young king more than his queen, his wife.' 

He gives me a soft smile, he caresses my face with his palm and I turn my face in his palm to kiss it lightly then peacefully let him caresses my face. 

He holds my face then kisses my forehead softly tugging at my heart strings. 

Looking at him makes me realize it that I have fallen for him without even realizing. 

I try to be cautioned after Sripad Rao but he proved in several ways that he is better than Rao and slowly he became my everything. 

I just pray to God that Raja-sa that he also falls for me, like I have fallen for him. 

Because something tells me that this time, I won't be able to survive the heartbreak of not getting love in return of giving love. 

He caresses my face one more time than says, 

'I am going to go freshen up then we will sleep together.' 

I nod my head, he leaves while I make the bed when I remember my first conversation with Chandani. 

She said something about "peaceful sleep and pleasurable release". 

Raja-sa is so tired and I am his wife so its my duty to provide him the "peaceful sleep and pleasurable release". 

He gave me that and I am also cleared up by my lady doctor for my birth control medicine. 

We now are free to take our relationship on another level. 

I take a deep breath and decide that I will initiate it this time. 

I go inront of the mirror, unbraiding my hair, roughing it up a little, Raja-sa loves my open hair. 

I sit down on the bed then loosen the top and bottom string of my blouse showing cleavage and raise up the saree showing my bare legs. 

Laying half down in one seductive posture out of many which my teacher taught me and wait for Raja-sa. 

After sometime he enters the room in just his pyjama and his eyes fall on me which immediately heats up. 

He comes to me in rush steps then lean on me and says, 

'Hume maarne ka iraada hai kya?' 

'Do you intend to kill me?' 

I jerk at his question then panic that I did something wrong when he suddenly holds my nape in punishing posture and hovers his lips over mine. 

His breath feathers over my lips and anticipation rises in me to have his lips on me. 

A tremor rocks through my body when he puts his lips on the corner of mine. 

My eyes close on their own because of the sensation. He pulls back looking me in the eyes as I open them. 

He leans more closer making our lips a breath away from each. Anticipation has my body pulled taut. 

He speaks making sure to featherly touch his lips to mine, 

'You have no idea how fucking much I want to devour you right this second, make you weep with pleasure, make you beg me to stop the torture.' 

My breathing has started coming in shallow gasps and my breast rising with each breath. My lips part wanting to feel his lips on me. 

I lick my lips in anticipation and his eyes follow my tongue. "Fuck," he growls. 

His eyes fall on my lips and his eyes reflect how much he wants to devour me right this second. 

Pleasurable twists enter my stomach. 

Raja-sa holding my nape, slowly puts his knees on the bed to climb and hover over me. 

He says with his dark, deep voice like silk which feathers over my whole body, 

'I want to pay back every tease, seduction and self control that I have shown to you.' 

I close my eyes as he leans forward for kissing my lips but I feel his toungue between my cleavage making me gasp. 

I puts my hand on his arms and squeeze tightly, startled by this sudden move. 

It feels like my insides are all turning and coiling, jumbled in a mess. 

It feels like I am rupturing like an eruption falling open. Suddenly he moves his face from my cleavage and attacks on my lips with ferocity making me gasp. 

He chooses that opportunity to push his tongue inside my mouth. We become so engaged in the kiss that we forget to breathe. 

He holds my head as he manuvers me kissing every inch of my mouth, exploring it while my stomach becomes full of knots. 

My body heats up by his dominance and his lusty kiss, wetness pools in the southern region.

It feels like fire is dancing on my body. 

While kissing me he lays me down then presses his whole body on me sending shivers down on me. 

He murmurs while kissing, 

'I bet if I put my hand down south, you will be dripping for me.' 

His words make me flush because he is right and I feel dirty and naughty because of that. He goes back to giving me toe-curling kiss. 

My pointy nipples through fabric gets constantly rub on his bare body making me arch my back and rolling my eyes in head. 

He pulls back and we both take huge gulps of breath. He looks down at me with so dark eyes like his dark soul is looking on me. 

He bends down taking my nipples through the fabric making me go crazy with teasing. 

I need his mouth on my nipple without any clothes in between. 

I tug at his hair hard to give me the relief I want but he just starts sucking harder making my back to fly off the bed and eyes rolling back in my head. 

Eruptions of sensations are happening inside which I am not able to take it anymore. 

After sometime when he doesn't relent and it starts aching then I try to push him away. 

When he doesn't budge, I frown and try to look at his face which shows me that he has fallen asleep while sucking on me. 

A laugh leaves me at his this move. 

I gently tug his head away from my nipple and he leaves after a few tries. 

He moves in his sleep, laying beside me then turn to me and hugs me to him tightly, putting his face near my waist. 

I stay still to not wake him up. 

This shows how much he is tired nowadays. Unknowingly I gave him the peace and sleep he needed. 

I rise gently not waking him up and tug the cover over us then turn to face his side. 

Holding his head, raking my fingers through his hair and slowly sleep pulls me under. 

He is looking at me with pure contempt and rage but he is standing back letting his people do his work. 

I shiver from his creepy eyes and tries to move back but the man holding me doesn't let me move. 

That man doesn't speak, suddenly I feel cold metal on my shoulder and I slightly turn my head to find the dagger moving to my neck. 

Terror unlike anything paralyze me, I look back at the man, he is still looking at me but I can swear that he has an evil smile. 

More than the dagger that man's eyes are terrifying to me, the evilness in there makes me cower in fear. 

He gets slashed on his wrist by my mother but he barely glances at her, he throws her away to the another man whose veil falls off. 

I look at her as she falls and I try to move to her but the man holding me doesn't let me go and I scream, 

'AAI!!! AAI!!!! AAI!!!!' 

I glance back at the man to see blood dripping from his wrist but he starts moving towards me. 

Everything starts going hazy and I can't focus, my heart is beating rapidly, I feel sweat clamping my forehead. 

With a jerk I awake and sits up gasping for my breath. 

What was that? I never had a dream like that. I gently move Raja-sa from me and put my foot down while sitting on the bed.   

Wide eyes, I rub my palm over my face trying to make sense of that dream. 

That man's eyes were pure evil and it threatened me, I can feel my heart pounding out of my chest. 

Was that nightmare or the fragment of my memory of that incident? 

What is happening to me? I put my head in my hands trying to escape the dark clutches of that dream. 

I look back towards Raja-sa to find him peacefully sleeping. His face gives me the peace I want. 

I shake my head to try to shake that dream off and stand up.

I pour myself a glass of water and drink it in huge gulps. 

I come back to bed and lay beside him. 

Was that a memory or a nightmare of that day? What was happening there? I can't understand it. 

I rub my hand over my face in distress. 

I hear a murmuring sound beside me which makes me frown and I look at Raja-sa, trying to hear it carefully, 

'Maa-sa, mat kariye, hum aapko chhod ke nahi jaenge.' 

'Mother, don't do it, I will not leave you.' 

He frowns in his sleep and starts tossing and turning by distress of his nightmare. 

I gently hold him to stop his movements and start raking my fingers through his hair which calms him down and his body relaxes, going back to sleep. 

While holding him trying to push away his demons makes me think something. 

How long are we going to be tangled and afraid by our traumatic past? When will we ever be free of our past and start building our beautiful future?
