Chapter-73

Things were busy in the serpent's mansion. All of them were assigned with their commanders orders regarding the final game. Alok was brought to the mansion last night for being the witness of promises to unfold. 

"Report!", A serpent rushed in with a scroll in his hand and handed it to Ashok.

Ashok: "Deva, according to the intelligence, other than Chithran being the master, three more chess pieces are alive who have not gotten rid of yet. One is a detective along with the second one, a noble lord and the last and the most dangerous among the men of Chithran; his son Chethan".

Deva: "Then let's start with the detective. Serpents gather here!" He stood in the emporium and announced in a high note.

Ashok: " Ok. As for the detective, I will cut his co

  DUM.. DUM.. DUM.. DUM.. DUM.. DUM.. The street of Dashur was awakened in the early morning by the wild drum beats. People surrounded the court entrance within minutes. The beating was as intense as it could tear down the membrane of the drum in its each strike. Yuvan and Charan rushed to the commotion outside. A girl was standing outside beating the drums with all her might. She stopped upon their arrival and looked at them. The girl was probably in her early twenties, her body full of wounds and dress torn with blood stains in those cuts. Her hair was messy and waving in the wind. "I want justice!!" She tapped the drum, squeezing the last drop of energy left in her body. The crowd increased before the door. Time passed and everything was silent inside the court. Some soldiers were going in and out of the court. Almost after two hours, a man was taken inside with handcuffs. He was taken by force and was a famili

  Ashok laid the unknown lady on the floor. He was shocked at her guts and stared at the lifeless body. The crowd outside tried to rush in and it was chaos outside. Yuvan ordered the crowd to clear and went to his room. Ashok took the corpse to his lab. Yuvan was at his desk, disturbed."Lord, what happened? About the lady?""I don't believe her completely.""Why bruddah?""Dhawan is a famous detective. Do you think for a mere girl, she can trap him with such conclusive evidence easily?""Actually during the entire session, Dhawan was astonished rather than frightened." Ashok walked in."You too think so""Yes lord, During the entire session, I felt something fishy. I think we should interrogate him before the execution""Bruddah, if you were sure then why he was sent to jail.""The crowd." Yuvan answered."Now, she is dead." Abhik scratched his head."Let's go; to the interrogation room." Yuvan walked

  The word link suddenly alarmed Ashok with the sudden change in his attitude. Yuvan was silent for a while leaving all of them worried.'I am now really getting closer to that psycho day by day. Abhik, go and get the details of all the homicides that happened in Dashur and Charan collect files regarding the arson in Sayyonee and make a list of the residents who died in the fire. Ashok, most importantly, got Alok from school now. He is the last witness. And yes, I need the report within the evening.''Lord, then you??''I have a very important task here.''Huh??''Aiyah!! Charan let my bruddah stay here as he wants to apologize to someone and make up.' Abhik dragged dimwit Charan and left the mansion leaving Apu and Yuvan in an ignominious state. Yuvan looked at Amanya with a tint of guilt. He knows that she may be scared and worried as he has never lost his temper in her presence. He could see her being uncomfortable at the moment."I.. that.

  Horses neighed and galloped through the streets with Yuvan and Charan. Abhik was left behind at the mansion to ensure her safety. By dusk, when the stars began to appear in the vast sky, they reached the broken gates of Sayyonee. Nothing was left in the once inhabited town. They held a lighted lamp and walked in stepping at the ruins of Sayyonee.'Lord, are you sure?''I don't know. I just feel Apu is right.''Lord, are we here to catch serpents or Dhawan?'Yuvan smirked and continued, 'Do you think we will get Dhawan alive?''Fact. He might have met the king of hell by now! Lord, then are we here...''I have promised her that I will bring justice to Alok with my own hand. How can I let him go? And they can't just play as they like in Amai.''Yes lord, they should know, they landed at the wrong place.'They were approaching the ancestral temple of Sayyonee. He remembered the positions even in the dark as they were engrave

  It's midnight by now. Yuvan got a straw to hold and he stormed to find Virat with his horse. Ashok stayed back. From serpents nature, it was already clear that Virat had been sent to accompany Dhawan. She felt pity for Yuvan and his hoax hopes.Ashok bowed elaborately according to the customs of Hiranga, "Your servant bows in respect to the commander. Reporting... we have only one target remaining. Lord, what is your plan for him?"Her face was still sunless."Lord... We got the information. He is on his way to Dashur. Do we have to pick him on the way?""No. Let him walk to me. I have my plans.." She paused the conversation and walked towards her room. At the threshold, Ashok stopped her, "Apu, after settling the scores, do you have any plan?"

  Amanya couldn't sleep any longer, the night seemed to be longer than ever. She woke up even before the crocks cooed and the stars and moon were still intact in the dark sky. She waited at the balcony which has a direct view to the front gate. The house maids slowly got up in the morning and were busy with their chores. Soon after, Alok joined his di. He cuddled her hands tightly. He was silent but was simply enjoying her company. They watched together the slow transition of the sky from dark to burning red and light blue. They were still waiting.Almost at eight, she heard the neighing of horses. She got up at once. They were really tired. His expressions were what she cared for most but it was hard for her. Yuvan simply walked past her.Looking at their state she waited for them to freshen up. She wanted to ask them even though she already knew the answers."How was it? Did you get him?" She asked Abhik and Charan."No di... We were dou

  She turned red and started stammering. Her hands were on his robes, which she tightly grabbed and stuttered, "Alok... He is missing." She was too anxious and panicked. She took deep breaths in between her words. Yuvan slowly settled her in a chair and tried to know what happened. He was worried whether it had any connection with the arrival of Chethan."Lord!" Charan rushed into the scene perspiring.Yuvan furiously barked at him, "Charan, what were you doing? You couldn't even keep two people safe in a simple street; huh?""Lord, he kneeled before him; I failed you. Please punish your servant.""This is not the time to discuss punishment. Give me solutions. Look at her, how am I going to face her??""Lord, I searched for him at every corner of Dashur. It was like he vanished in thin air."Yuvan took a deep breath and ordered the maids to disperse. He walked to her and held her hand then offered a handkerchief and reassured her, "He is

  The maids of the mansion were gathered in the front yard."Did Alok come?" Yuvan directly asked them without even dismounting from his horse."No, lord. We were here for the whole day. No one passed the door.""Check the entire mansion. " He pointed to the maids and guards present in the mansion."Charan, Ashok check his room. Report anything fishy." They went in and came out after a while. All the maids reported nothing unusual."Lord, this.." Ashok had a small box in his hand."Lord, this was in his room. I smell something fishy.""Hey, I have seen this with him even before. It's nothing fishy." Abhik assessed after his careful observation."why?" Yuvan pointed at the box.

  "It has been fifty years. Why don't you go inside to see him?" Aras stood near his sister who was on the border of Amai for five decades waiting for him. "I am afraid; If I meet him again... " She sounded tired. "Even after all these years you still can't let go of him. Why don't you return to heaven?" "Because of my selfishness, I ruined his two life. I have to make sure that his next life will be smooth and prosperous. " "You just want to meet him for the last time and tell him, you never misunderstood nor hated him." "Maybe... Yes. I don't want him to leave with regret and disappointment. I want him to be happy for eternities from now on." "My little sister is grown up..." Aras hugged her with his left hand. Loud bells gonged all around Amai. The king is dead... She pressed her hand in anguish. She was sweating, her breath was getting denser. 'He is coming... I am meeting him... For the last time. Will he resent me' Her mind was full of thoughts? "Apu... " She turned back.

  They went back with Naman and Ashok. Her death was his biggest punishment and he was punished for a lifetime. He sat on the aisle for a whole day. Tears rolled and caressed his lips dropping on the mask in his lap. All envoys left Amai fearing Hiranga. Amai was completely alienated from that day. Abhik and Charan stood beside him. He loved his di and Ashok was a brother to him. It was as if he lost all his siblings on that day. They couldn't process her death or the newly introduced cobras.A sudden thought struck Yuvan and he rushed from the palace. He rode his horse like a madman and entered his mansion. Abhik and Charan followed him. When they reached there, they heard his cry. It was from his room. They saw him collapse on the floor."Bruddah..."They saw him clenching the mask and weeping hardly. "They took everything, everything she had here except this mask that witnessed her... last... tears.""Out... Out..." He pushed both of them out of his room and ordered every person to b

  "Amanya... Apeksha..." His legs were shaking. Was it because of the poison or her name, he was not sure. The day from Sayyonee to the last feast flashed in his mind. His face was sad,"was it all a plan?" The undercover legacies of Amanya ringed his ears."Whatever she planned was her responsibility just like you planned beside her as Yuvraj. But.. meeting you and falling for you were pure accidents." Ashok answered his whispers."Accidents??!!" His red eyes stared at them in umbrage."For you, she left her country, her crown, her privileges' of a queen; but... you let her down.She trusted you, to be with you she was silent about Amai's injustices. Every day was a thin ice. She walked on it just to live with you.""You let her down..." Dhruva roared.Jiva stared at Yuvan, "On that day, when you barged into my kingdom; I just asked you one thing and it was her happiness. You promised me; then where is she??" his eyes were red."You can't even protect your wife from these hypocrites, h

  The palace court was eagerly waiting for him. Envoys from different countries who arrived at the feast of their wedding had not left the country. They were stationed to discuss the recent powerplay of Hiranga in Amai. But what they witnessed shook them. They experienced the psychotic arrogance of Cobra. Though they were feigning courage, their faces were pale. Their fear was evident. The majestic door of the court was opened for Yuvan. He could see the real situation of Amai from them. "What is happening outside?" "Did you catch them??" Questions were flowing from all directions. "Yesterday, Amai was in a fire. All our irrigation fields and shops were burnt and we have concluded that it is done by Hiranga." Abhik and Charan with the subordinate of Mahesh entered the room. Mekala was already present in the court with her father. All the generals were summoned and stationed outside the palace. Soldiers were all over the streets. Within two days the complete system of Amai was in cha

  Thick fumes covered the capital. Cries for help spiraled from every direction. Soldiers and people filled the streets trying to blow out the fire. But the fire spread out faster and was multiplying its reach on all sides. Within time, the entire farming of the Amaian capital was burning. They rushed to the nearby fields and joined them trying to bring down the fire."Lord, it was set manually. We smell the oil." Charan reported.People were crying loud in their burnt fields. They lost their hard work before their naked eyes."Lord!! " Some soldiers rushed towards them in fright."Lord, the shops are on fire. ""What??" They couldn't even get time to understand the situation they are in. They hurried with the soldiers. People were running frantically and the streets were in complete chaos. The entire capital was on fire. Soldiers assembled large water pipes and sprayed them. By night they were able to bring down the fire but it exhausted the capital totally.

  She was rested in the flower bed. It was filled with white lilies and candles. Even the majestic armor couldn't hide her sorrow. Her sword and mask were removed from the coffin. The entire crowd was silent. Jiva caressed her and adorned her face with rouge and flowers. Tears were dripping in the room engulfed in silence and darkness."Till her end, she was the princess of Hiranga, the serpent queen but she was also the crowned princess of Amai. She should get the farewell she deserved." Jiva tuned towards Ashok and stumbled over Naman who just witnessed her silence."Naman, lead her to Hiranga with Deva. But you should be back by morning.""Prince then you..""I should stay..." He looked at her lifeless body in silence.Yuvan was brought back to his mansion. The entire night in the peak of angst exhausted him. He was tired but resolute to turn every stone he met in his favor. The loneliness around him was submerging him in darkness."Bruddah, Ashok... is missing." Abhik rushed to his

  Yuvan was slowly dropping his hopes. The only way to prove her innocence was Mekala but she was too scared even to speak. Despite her state, she insisted on being clean. She admitted to harming and trying to frame Apu but with a fazan that surprisingly vanished from the scene. A cobran cloak and dagger are not in the capacity of Mekala. Only two days are left. He was too reluctant to leave the mansion of Mahesh empty-handed as he is not sure of his next destination or a new lead."Lord..." Charan stopped his horse in the mid of the road. His lips were shivering and his hands on the rein were shaking."Did you find something to save her??" He was miserable."Lord please follow me.." he galloped on the road. Yuvan followed him to the burnt prison. Large fumes filled the clouds above the land. Yuvan got off with trembling legs. He stood in a daze but was stirred by the fall of walls. He rushed in but was blocked from all sides."Apu... Apu..." He screamed with all his strength. He collap

  He rolled out of the prison. The thunder stopped but the skies were still dark as if they were ready to mourn for her."She... is..."His lips were dead. He kneeled before the gate of the prison and screamed."Ashok... " A distressed voice echoed behind him. He was feeble for any response. His entire body was numb."What happened??" Another sound forced him to raise his head. Dhruva looked at him in angst."Ashok... Crowned prince and general Dhruva is here to rescue commander back." Deva spoke in a monotonous tone." Let me meet her." He tried to get up but the guilt and remorse were too much for his shoulders.He couldn't face his prince nor a word was uttered from him. All he could do was cry. He cried his heart out. They panicked at his conduct."What happened??"He bowed striking his head on the floor and extended his hands; stained with her blood.He groaned; "I... failed... her.""What?? " Dhruva grabbed his hands tightly, their eyes were red."Repeat it.. if you dare?""Lord...

  The spectral darkness gulped the walls of the prison. She was hushed, her tears were rolling down.The deep silence inside the cell was getting interrupted by lightning. A heavy footstep was approaching her. She had decided her end and was waiting for him."Ashok...""Amanya..." Ashok was fuming in vengeance but this mighty word in prison sounded despondent."Ashok... I have decided to leave here." Her words were lifeless."Commander, your guilty sub-captain is here, waiting for your order." His words were suddenly loud as if he dared to proclaim his reality to the entire Amai."Bring my sword and mask. I wish to leave here as the commander of serpents."He was back within an hour. She is going to complete her life in the world. There are many she wished to do, yet she has to go without a farewell."Ashok..." Words from her were a big relief for him, " Come back after an hour. "Her request was strange but he didn't dare to ask her. He decided to wait.She smiled and cried, gazing at
