Chapter - 47 Unexpected guest
Last Updated:
2021-01-02 15:58:44The bands of people who had left returned slowly. Tanisi's act of bravery was spreading amongst them like wildfire. Padma was angry at things taking a turn like this.
Bhavabhooti's band came in at last. She found him and told of what she had heard of. Bhavabhooti was shocked. Unable to accept that a woman could do this, he came out with another explanation. He told Padma this must be a decoy to gain respect of people here. How can a woman like her can kill so many men. Having trained in warfare less than an year it was impossible for her to be so good. Since none knew of the exclusive training she had got from the Emperor and having never seen her fight before, slowly this news gained momentum.
Those who were jealous of Tanisi wilfully ignored the fact that Naksha who was a trained warrior herself was witness to all this. They instead chose to believe this new explanation where Tanisi was to be blamed not celebrated. Tanisi was unaffected by the praise or the brickbats

Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 48 The Lunch...
Samudra washed his feet, hands and face and sat for lunch. The delicious aroma from the food had kindled his appetite. Along with the food his eyes could also feast on Tanisi. He had longed for her like mad. He knew that according to what Acharya had told him, it was still a long way before he could marry Tanisi. And knowing Tanisi, he couldn't make a move on her unless he married her. She for some unknown reasons refused to believe in the longetivity of their relationship. He knew she would let her guard down only if he showed her that he is committed and serious about her. This he could do, only by getting married to her. But then how to marry her if she doesn't believe him. His mind was always thinking of a way out of this cycle whenever he was free.Samudra: "What happened to you? You stood dazed at the door.. What if it was someone else who came in?"Tanisi: "What if it was someone else? They would have called my name or at the worse could have kissed me just the

After lunch Tanisi came to the place where Samudra was sitting.Tanisi: "Your Highness, do you need anything?"Samudra: "No Tanisi, I am good. Please have a seat. I need to talk to you".Tanisi nodded and sat down in front of him waiting for him to speak.Samudra sighed and began, "Tanisi, you asked me about this injury. It happened while fending off an attack which took place at Grishma Bhavana during my return journey". Tanisi was shocked. She looked at him not knowing how to react while he continued.Samudra: "Vishwa's intuition to take you away from there was indeed a very good move. It would have been very dangerous for you there. Soon after you left an old man joined the kitchens as a help to the royal cook. The enemy had his granddaughter as hostage thereby forcing him to act as an informer. Since he joined the palace after your departure he thought the decoy, a well dressed woman was the one the enemy was looking for. I reached the Palace h

Soon Prapta dug information out from the woman and got to know that Manorama was actually a Kaingitya spy and she had informed them about Tanisi's whereabouts. She had spoken to Padma and found out the person they were looking for was Tanisi. Manorama was captured. She was already old but to ensure that the identity of Tanisi remains hidden, Samudra ordered her to be lodged in the solitary dungeon. This information was kept under wraps. People outside only got to know that there was a traitor amongst them and that she had been the reason for the attacks that happened. Meanwhile, Tanisi was near the river washing clothes when Bhavabhooti came to her. He knelt down beside her and initiated a conversation. Tanisi knew of his interest in her. She didn't respond to his queries and gave short, ambiguous answers. Seeing that she wasn't willing to talk to him, Bhavabhooti tried another tactic to make her speak. Bhavabhooti: "Why are you so cold towards us? You only p

Samudra summoned Prapta and Vishwa. He wanted to know why they wanted Tanisi dead. The woman who attacked her with dagger wanted to kill her. Prapta wanted to find the reason out. Unfortunately neither the woman nor Manorama knew why they had to kill Tanisi. They were just ordered to eliminate her.Samudra frowned, he turned to Vishwa and gave voice to his doubts, "Vishwa, is it possible that the Kaingityas know the woman rescued from the hands of their Prince Chuda was Tanisi? Or do they think she is someone else?"Vishwa: "Your Highness anything is possible."Samudra: "It doesn't explain the message. Do they know she is someone I am interested in? Is that the reason they want Tanisi dead? Doesn't it make sense for them to capture her and then use her as ransom?"Prapta: "My Lord, could it be both? I mean they know you Love her and they also know that Chuda intended to kill her that day. If you cannot protect her, you would be dejected for losing your wo

After finishing dinner Samudra lazily sat down. Tanisi sat down to have her dinner. Samudra kept staring at her. Tanisi wasn't noticing Samudra. The scene of Samudra playing with Vishwa's daughter was rerunning in Tanisi's mind. She smiled remembering him spoiling her. Samudra too smiled seeing her. Suddenly she choked on her food and started coughing. Samudra immediately went to the kitchen and got her a tumbler of water.Samudra: "Where were you lost? You even forgot to chew food and breathe? What were you smiling at?"Tanisi: "Nothing my Lord. Was remembering Pragati's baby. She is adorable.." Tanisi gushed.Samudra: "The way you looked at the child made me jealous of her."Tanisi was surprised to hear this. Was he admitting it so openly?Samudra: "I do so much to get your attention. All the baby had to do was get into your arms.. Or may be I too should try that.."Tanisi blushed furiously. Unable to face him she looked away. Tani

Tanisi and Samudra and his body guards left for the capital leaving behind the army contigent for protection of Naksha and the new born. Pragati and her child too stayed back to give company to the new mother.The journey back was quick and smooth. Samudra was very happy to see Tanisi riding her horse deftly. It was his spare horse which he had lent to Tanisi. Samudra was now confident that Tanisi was trained enough to take care of herself. He wanted to continue her lessons in warfare so that she would become an expert in combat.After reaching the Royal Palace, Vishwa set out to make arrangements for the arrival of Naksha.Tanisi went back to her chamber and was pleased to be at a familiar place which felt like home.The rainy season was already over and the sun was shining warmly. Moderners were now enthusiastic to settle down doing work that they enjoyed.She noticed the absence of Bhavya and Padma. Atul had mastered the art of making jewellery

Samudra's eyes softened as he reluctantly let go of her. She hurried downstairs as though her life depended on that. Samudra laughed lightly at her reaction. But in their hearts they both cherished this moment.Tanisi happily went towards the arena and started with her sword practice. After a while, she was completely exhausted and was sweating profusely. Wiping her sweat off with her uttareeya, she fanned herself with it for sometime and then went to pick up her bow to practice archery. This training was giving her a good feeling. She felt home again and her memory drifted back to when she had first met Samudra here. How she had mastered hitting the bulls eye and how she had challenged him and subsequently learnt from him too. This elated her spirits and she started training with gusto.Meanwhile, Samudra took Shourya along with him for a walk in his gardens. He had wanted to meet him alone and in person. Bhavya had excused herself to meet the moderners in the Old Pal

Samudra was now in a fix. He had to keep Tanisi away from the wedding. He had known of Shyamala's intention of making Tanisi a maid-servant for her would-be husband who was known for his fetish for women. But now it would hurt Tanisi's pride if he prohibited her from attending the wedding. And with Bhavya getting married Tanisi would naturally question him why she shouldn't attend the wedding. And if she attends then King Amartya would surely notice her and ask her as his maid servant which Samudra would have to fulfil as dowry. He knew Shyamala had particularly kept this demand that he fulfil the people part of dowry which meant that any demands for men/women is to be fulfilled by Nishantha as Krita desha was too small a kingdom for that.Samudra now saw how calculative Shyamala was and was actually thanking his stars for not making her his wife. But he had to think of a way to keep Tanisi away from the wedding.He came back to his chambers but hunger and sleep eluded

Tanisi snuggled up to him. Samudra was extremely happy, but was still not willing to let go of punishing Tanisi. He kept thinking and suddenly a wicked idea propped up into his head.He loosened his embrace and looked into her eyes by lifting her chin up with his index finger and said, " My Love, what a wonderful day today is. I got to play naughty around you early morning, got into an adventure, and now got a love confession. Hmmm... Very good. However, as you said nobody should misuse power. Hence, you too cannot forego your punishment. You dared to defy me again, forgetting I am the Emperor of the Land. How dare you ignore me? You should have praised my efforts, instead you thanked God; you should have followed me back to check if I was hurt or if I needed anything, you didn't. On top of it, you joined hands with Naksha to make me feel envious and stood cuddling Bahu?! I think I have been too lenient towards you. Before I fell in love with you, Naksha didn't dare to play a
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 84 The Confession
Tanisi, opened and closed her mouth few times. Words forsake her. She was not able to think coherently due to the panic that rose in her earlier and now the embarrassment of pouring her heart out. Samudra: "Calm down Tanisi. Tell me what you wanted to talk about." Tanisi suddenly felt as though her thoughts had strung together. She spoke. Tanisi: "I wanted to talk about two things. First about Pradyumna and Naksha." Samudra was so disappointed, his face said it all. He had hoped she would speak about what he wanted to hear so desperately. But he quickly regained his composure and looked keenly at her as though saying go ahead. Tanisi: "I think Pradyumna likes Naksha. I don't know how it is in your society. But you asked her to move on which I suppose indicates she can remarry. Am I correct?" Samudra: "Yes, you are correct and that is what I meant. I saw Pradyumna's smile being warm towards her. I realized he probably loves her. Naksha
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 83 Decision to confess
Samudra went back to his Palace and took a bathe to clean the sweat and dirt off. He summoned the Royal doctor who told him Tanisi was now fine with a smug smile on his face. Samudra still had a stern expression on his face. He came down to look where she was. He now had the doctor's permission to break his abstinence. He wanted a reward for his daring act for the day from his beloved wife. He came near the discussion hall to find Naksha dressing Pradyumna and Tanisi... wait, what!? Tanisi was cuddling Bahu and kissing the child's chubby cheeks!! Samudra was now enraged. Tanisi and Naksha had their back towards Samudra, but Pradyumna was facing him and he saw the emperor. He slightly bowed his head upon seeing Samudra who acknowledged it and then with a smirk winked at the handsome husband of Tanisi. Samudra understood there was something fishy and soon realized that this was a deliberate attempt to make him jealous. He smiled a victorious smile and once agai
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 82 Samudra's impatience
After Padma's incident, Tanisi felt very confused. She didn't know how relevant her feud was with Samudra. But she also felt she shouldn't be lenient towards him. The way she ended up marrying him was not ethical. She wanted to ensure Samudra doesn't twist laws to suit him and wanted this to be a lesson for him. She continued to maintain distance with him but respectfully. Samudra noticed that she had gone back to her original ways, but was still aloof from him. He didn't force her. Slowly Tanisi resumed her war practices. She started to learn more about spying from Naksha as well. During this time Pradyumna was elevated in levels in Samudra's army. He started to frequent the Palace along with Balabhadra the commander-in-chief of Samudra's army. Samudra missed Shourya greatly. He once joked with Tanisi, that he should probably annexe Kritadesha so that he can have Shourya back as his army's commander-in-chief. Tanisi retorted, "Just because you got me through

Samudra:"If you don't want me to punish them I won't force you Padma, but you should atleast reveal the names of the people who did that." Kumuda was now too distraught she kneeled down on her knees and said, "Please my Lord I don't want to relive my ordeal. Can we please stop this here?" She was breathing heavily and was behaving as though her life depended on it. Samudra looked at Tanisi and asked Naksha to come out from her place. Both of them had a shocked expression on their faces. Kumuda looked around and was puzzled as to why Naksha was hidden. Naksha: "What did you say your name was again? I couldn't remember sorry." Kumuda: "Who are you and why should I say my name to you?" Tanisi: "Even I forgot your name. Can you say your name again. Offlate my memory seems to be playing tricks on me." Kumuda: "Kumuda.. My name is Kumuda." Naksha was now enraged. She walked towards her and stood staring at her face. Kum

After breakfast, Samudra took Tanisi to meet Naksha who told them about Bhavabhooti's murder. He was fed up of the hatred he received everywhere he went. Everyone knew how he had tried to trick the Emperor. He had been to a Kaingitya mask maker to get a mask and change his identity to eke out a living. Kaingitya guards had recognised him as the spy from Nishantha. Afraid that their current ruler would be lenient to him, they had hacked him to death. The gruesome details of the incident disturbed Tanisi. She said, "If this is the case, then Padma also must have found it very difficult" Naksha: "Your heart still goes out for her Tanisi? What are you made up of? She put you through so much and yet you are thinking of how she would survive? Well strange news is there is no news about her whereabouts at all!" Suddenly Samudra looked at her as though she had provided him with the solution for a great problem. Samudra: "Naksha, do you know if Bhavabhoo
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 79 Samudra is annoyed
She regained her composure and was now ashamed at her behavior. She lowered her head and breaking free from his embrace, she dressed his wound. Samudra looked at her lovingly. She caught sight of this and didn't know how to react. She got up and simply left the place. Samudra sat down. He then decided to take his horse "Ativega"(Ati - too, Vega - Fast) out with him for sometime. He shared a very strong bond with his horse and always felt consoled in its presence. He changed his clothes and went downstairs. He heard Tanisi's voice, she was playing with Naksha's child Bhadrabahu. Bahu could now walk and he loved playing blindfold. Samudra walked upto the place where they were playing. The child noticed him and ran to him. Samudra picked him up and caressed him. Tanisi who was blindfolded kept calling Bahu's name. Samudra was reminded of the time when he had rescued her. She was blindfolded then too. A smile crept up on his lips at the naughtiness he had exhibited towards her.&

Tanisi was tied down by Samudra. He wouldn't let her out of sight. He wasn't going to let her go anywhere. Tanisi's poisoning was wreaking havoc. At one point she could think clearly and see that the said events had a long timeline and that Samudra genuinely loved her. But most of the times her thoughts were a chaos and she remembered the past more clearly when compared to recent events making her hate herself.Samudra had seen her mood swings. The Royal Doctor had prescribed another medicine to help her heal quickly. This was prepared and sent by the doctor himself instead of allowing the royal chefs to prepare it.Kumuda was kept under watch without her knowledge. She still sent medicines thinking that Tanisi was consuming it. In some days Naksha requested Tanisi and Samudra to give her audience.Even though Tanisi had toned her attacks down, the relation between her and Samudra had greatly soured. The doctor had told Samudra in private that, she w

Samudra went to his chambers. He found Tanisi relaxing on the swing. He smiled gently at her and asked how she felt now. She looked at him sadly and said, she doesn't feel very well. Just then Naksha asked for his permission to enter. Samudra: "Naksha, what would I do without you! Thanks for bringing this issue to my notice before Tanisi could have been hurt more." Naksha: "Samrat, my intention was to make you scold your heavenly beautiful wife!! But I was shocked to see what she has gone through. Tanisi, I am sorry for having bullied you!" Samrat: "Well I have a task for you, after announcing that, I request our Samrajni(Empress) to punish you for bullying her." Tanisi laughed heartily at their banter which instantly lightened her mood. Samudra: "Naksha, I have a doubt that Kumuda is someone I know. Her story seems too farfetched to be true. For one, Padmanabha (Royal cook) has a particular timetable. For him to find her j
