"Doesn't queen Daksha stop them or scold them for their behaviour?" Ankush asked.
"They have their father's back. Doesn't matter how much their mother scold them, they don't listen to her. Only their father and grandfather can control them. But because his majesty Viraaj's full focus was used to be on princess Ira, and he knew that it's useless to scold and discipline this ungrateful brats as their father will always run to rescue them from his scolding, he didn't bother spending time on them."
"And now his majesty is sick, so there is no possibility that they will listen to him." Ankush commented. "No one can control them."
Agastya nod in response "Yes, that's right. And upon that, we have to deal with one of them. The most disrespecting and ungrateful one. Doesn't matter how well you serve him, respect him and obey him, he will always treat you like a trash. But you have to stay calm and don't react to his nonsense. Even if he curse you, slap you, kick you or even beat you. You always have to act innocent and dumb. It may give him pleasure to beat you but you can't react." Agastya was unsure that Ankush understood whatever he said because the way Ankush's expression turned dark just after listening that Veer might slap him or beat him and he can't react at all.
"Please Ankush, we have to bear it. I am facing this all from last six years, you just have to tolerate it for some time until you find evidence and catch Veer red handed or whoever it was that tried to kill his majesty. Just for few days or weeks." Agastya requested. He don't want Ankush to loose his control and do something dumb that can ruin their plan.
Ankush inhaled deeply "It can be few months too."
Agastya was again ready to motivate Ankush and incourage but he suddenly spoke.
"But I will manage. I will tolerate that brat for time being. Once I find strong evidence against him, I will make his life a living hell."
Agastya sighed in relief that Ankush understood and is ready to deal with Veer.
"Tell me about others, that Veera, queen Sadhya and kind Dhishva."
"Ok, so, Veera is also like her brother. Arrogant, rude and annoying. The things she like to do the most are humiliating others, making troubles for others and bullying princess Ira. But now, she can't do one of this as princess Ira is free from her bullying now. And about queen Sadhya, she is the root of these two twins arrogance. She is the one who influenced them and that's why his majesty don't like her."
"What? He don't like her?" Ankush asked surprised. "They are husband and wife but he don't like her?"
"Yes, he don't like her." Agastya's expression turned serious "I don't know much about it because they don't show it much in public but as much as I have learned about it by snooping in palace, I have seen them arguing so many times and his majesty don't like to stay with her. There is something we don't know. But whatever it is, it's so complicated. It's like a big secret of chakravarthy family."
He sighed heavily "Let it be, we don't have to investigate their personal matter, we just have to focus on our work."
Ankush noded understandingly "What if Veer is guilty? Who will rule the Aaro?"
"Of course, the husband of one of the princess of Aaro. But it's hard for his majesty Raksheet to be selected for it. We all know that king Dhishva love Veera and he don't bother to consider princess Ira. So it's clear that he will give all the responsibilities of Aaro to Veera and her husband if Veer is guilty."
Ankush sighed heavily "How I wish his majesty Raksheet to rule Aaro."
"Why?" Agastya asked
"Vikram told me a lot about his majesty. And I am very impressed with it. Now I feel like he can be a great ruler in future. And princess Ira and his majesty Viraaj have a great bond. I am sure he would like princess Ira and his majesty Raksheet to rule Aaro instead of Veera and her husband." He leaned back on his seat, resting his back. "They deserve it. This kingdom is so beautiful. I have learned about Aaro before coming here. Only princess Ira and his majesty can manage it. Veera will only destroy it with her arrogance for sure."
Agastya chuckled "I think so too. I have seen princess Ira to struggle to get along with her own family." He looked down at his hands with guilt "Always getting bullied but still trying to stay strong, it's too hard for a child. And it's heartbreaking to see it happening infront of your eyes but can't do anything. I have seen her crying so many times but a servant like me- what can I do? I wanted to help her but.."
Ankush held Agastya's hand to console him "It's ok, we are just a servant. It's not our fault that we can't protect a royal family member from our own king."
"That's true." Agastya replied with a sad smile.
"Can't we speed up our journey? We are traveling from last 6 hours but still we haven't reached Aaro." Viraaj said to Dhishva who was trying to rest on his seat with his eyes closed.
"No." He replied and looked at his father "You are just recovering. I don't want you to fall sick because of speeding up the carriage. The road is not in the good condition as well. I can't afford you to fall sick again." He completed his answer which sounded more like an order to Viraaj and closed his eyes again, his head resting back on his seat.
Viraaj didn't argued or said anything more. He just looked outside the window with a smile on his lips. Dhishva care a lot about him. Doesn't matter how eager he is to reach Aaro and handle his work, he still don't want to fasten the journey to not make his father feel uncomfortable.
'I wish you had cared for Ira like this.' Viraaj's smile faded with this thought.
"They must have reached Aaro by now." Raksheet looked out of the window, up at the sky to see whether Cabail sent a message to them with a Messenger bird.
It was about to sunset, so it would be better the bird arrive soon as it will be hard for it to reach Jwalana at night or it can be lost as well.
"His majesty must have reached Aaro as well." Abhiveera walked towards Raksheet and stood beside him, looking outside.
Ashwant sighed heavily "Should we summon Cabail back and send someone else on his place. I mean, he don't have much work to do there. Anyone can do his work. And he is already old, he should get retired now."
"No." Abhiveera immediately refused. "Let him stay there. We might need his help in future. He is experienced and familiar with Aaro. If something goes wrong, he can handle it. A new person will take time to get familiar with Aaro. It will only waste our time. It's the matter of short time. Once the mission is successful, I will summon Cabail back and give him retirement." He said with a serious expression. He was still feeling guilty for not being able to protect Viraaj. That's why he don't want to take any chance that can affect Viraaj's protection.
"Ok." Ashwant replied
"It's late, may be the bird will not arrive today. Let's go inside." Abhiveera walked inside the room with disappointed look and Raksheet was about to close the window when suddenly a dove bird landed on the window while fluttering its wings.
Raksheet pulled his hands back from window and looked at the bird.
Abhiveera and Ashwant turned their gaze towards the bird as well.
"It's here. Finally." Ashwant said.
Raksheet held the bird very carefully in his hands and walked towards Abhiveera.
Abhiveera quickly detached the small paper from the bird's leg and opened it. He started reading it. It was from Cabail.
