2021-02-12 09:54:20Shourya and Bhavya had arrived. Next day Samudra summoned them along with Vishwa and Naksha to his discussion hall. Naksha was angry but Vishwa was puzzled. He directly spoke before Samudra could even open his mouth. He said, “Samudra, what are you upto. The wedding is the day after and there is no news from any of the Kingdoms? Who are you marrying? And why is it so silent?”
Samudra said, “As I already told you there is a threat of Kaingitya’s attacking. So, everything is to be done in secret. Now have you readied everything for Tanisi?” Vishwa quietly nodded.
He turned towards Shourya and said, “Her groom is a very important man. Make sure your gifts are upto his status.” Shourya simply nodded, while Bhavya and Naksha did not even look at him. He sent them all away.
Bhavya and Naksha immediately went to Tanisi and started chatting to

They both sat down waiting for others.All the grudges, anger etc., had now withered away. Vishwa and Naksha were the happiest to see Samudra marrying Tanisi.

That night, The Royal Feast was held with great grandeur. It was attended by one and all.The moderners who had attended the feast were dumbstuck to see that the Empress of Nishantha was none other than Tanisi. Till then only Bhavya had known and she was prohibited from letting the news out.Soon the news spread like wildfire to other parts of the kingdom as well. It reached the ears of Bhavabhooti and Padma too. While Bhavabhooti held his head in shame for insulting and berating the future Empress of Nishantha, Padma's jealousy knew no bounds. Pradyumna had cut ties with her. Bhavabhooti too had maintained his distance from her. She was now infamous for trying to hoodwink The Emperor. People disliked her wherever she went as her infamy reached them before her.Rubbing salt to her wounds was this news which meant,

Samudra saw her intently looking at him. He smiled and said, "Does it sound unbelievable?" Tanisi: "But why wouldn't you marry again? What if something happens to me? Or what if I cannot become a mother?" Samudra: "Then I would adopt Naksha's son and make him my successor." Tanisi: "But you can marry another woman and become a father too..." Samudra: "I cannot marry again Tanisi. This is a promise I made to my mother when she was on her deathbed. <Sigh> Well I think you need to know all of my family's history. My father and my Uncle were not the only siblings. My father was the eldest. But they were totally eight brothers but of different mothers. The Royal Palace was embroiled with politics, scheming, coups and what not. My father was fed up of always having to watch his back. Slowly the brothers fought amongst themselves and they met mysterious ends. Only my father and my Uncle Makaranda whom you have already known remained. My father did not

The entourage reached the venue of the annual Council of Kings meet. This time it was held in the Kaushala Kingdom. Upon the Nishantha Emperor's arrival the host King and his Family had gathered at the doorway to welcome them. The King had three wives and two princesses. However, he was aware of Samudra's vow to his mother and his marriage to Tanisi. Hence was a little disappointed for losing the chance of having one of the most powerful Emperor as his son-in-law. The princesses too wanted to see who was the woman who was now the Empress of Nishantha. The Queens were the only one not bothered. They had for long known Samudra wasn't interested in political marriages and that the Princesses of Kaushala would never be his beloved wives. At the entrance, the welcoming party gasped at the newly wed couple. They had thought Samudra was the most charming Emperor and he wouldn't find a match. But seeing Tanisi they were dumbstuck. Her beauty was ethereal but her aura was gentle. Who

After breakfast Samudra and the other Kings sat down for an informal discussion. Tanisi was about to sit next to him, when the eldest of the Kaushala Queen requested her to accompany them instead. Samudra looked at a visibly worried Tanisi with a raised eyebrow. Tanisi felt it to be challenge from him to survive them. She smiled a bright smile and decided to give it a try. The three Queens took Tanisi to the garden. The weather was pleasantly cool and Tanisi felt being in the warm sunlight suited her. She strode along with the Queens. The eldest Queen Sumati spoke. “Tanisi, the garden seems lacklustre in front of you. I am not able to take my eyes off you. You are really an ethereal beauty!!!” The other Queens nodded in agreement. Due to the sunlight and their comments Tanisi blushed slightly and was at loss of words. She smiled in response and said, “I am honoured your highnesses!”. The Queens smiled in response, but the third Queen Swaragini spoke, “Now now

The night was on them and the lovely couple came down for dinner and Samudra's mood immediately changed from pleasant to annoyed at the sight of his arch rivals. He maintained his decorum. Tanisi sensed his turmoil and looked around to find two men staring at her anabashedly. She realised these must be the Chanda brothers of Kaingitya who loved challenging her husband at the drop of a hat. She sat for dinner and soon her attention was sought by the Queens of Kaushala and she forgot about everything else. The Queens had also noticed the Kaingitya's behavior and were fuming at their inappropriate behavior towards the Empress. The dinner went smoothly and everyone took leave. Samudra did not want to go near his chambers hence he led Tanisi to the gardens. The cool night breeze was welcoming and they strolled around with Samudra's hand possessively on Tanisi's waist. He was showing around the different varieties of plants which were native to Kaushala and was explaining to

Tanisi was still standing lost in her thoughts when Samudra walked back after a bath. He had changed into clean antareeya and his hair was dripping wet. He looked at his dazed wife and the uttareeya still on floor where he had dropped it. A wicked thought occurred to him and he quietly went behind her. He held is long hair close to her neck and squeezed it causing water from his hair to drip into her cleavage. The sudden coolness near her breasts caused Tanisi to panic and she moved around in reflex to be caught in a strong embrace and kissed. It took her a while to realise it was her naughty husband. She bit his lips angrily. Samudra let go of her laughing and said, "Where were you lost? Someone could have abducted you while you were in your own world, beautiful!"Tanisi didn't know whether to be angry or relieved. She gave him a scornful look and turned around and settled angrily on her settee. Samudra was about to walk towards her when there was a knock on the door. A mess

Chuda screamed: "I want the accused Emperor Samudra to be interrogated and punished for my Brother's murder as this is against the first tenet of the Council rules. I want him punished for his arrogance and crime."Samudra got up from his place and went to the centre of the hall. His walk was majestic and his aura was calm. Chuda was slightly unnerved by his poise. He was expecting Samudra to be angry or worried. His calmness indicated he had a solid defence.Samudra stared coldly at Chuda and turned to face the Kaushala Royals. There were uneasy murmurs. Samudra then looked at Tanisi and a reassuring smile spread across his face. Tanisi who was tense till then was relieved as she felt Samudra had been prepared for this.Kaushala King spoke, "My dear Samrat of Nishantha, pray counter the allegations made by Chuda."Everyone noticed the way Samudra was addressed in comparison to Chuda. King Amartya was fuming as this didn't augur well for his kingdom

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

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
