As the sun dipped below the horizon, the velvety night sky emerged, adorned with a tapestry of twinkling stars. The ethereal milky rays, like shimmering tendrils of liquid moonlight, stretched across the expanse of the heavens, reaching out to touch the very soul of Fernweh. With a graceful descent, they cascaded over the majestic facade of the palace, their celestial journey culminating in a breathtaking collision with his golden form. The ensuing cosmic dance of light created an enchanting spectacle, as the resplendent rays reflected off the myriad mirrors that adorned the opulent chamber, casting a kaleidoscope of ethereal hues that seemed to defy the boundaries of imagination.

As he entered this wondrous chamber, time seemed to stand still, and reality blurred with dreams. A figure, like Gumusservi, possessed an unparalleled allure and enchantment, beckoning to him with alluring gestures, her delicate fingers summoning him towards the source of the magical luminescence. He was drawn inexorably, as if under a spell, crossing the threshold into their inner sanctum—a sanctuary of beauty and transcendence that existed in a realm beyond mortal comprehension.

His senses were overwhelmed by a symphony of scents, a heady amalgamation of the intoxicating fragrance of ambrosia mingling with the warm tan of his own skin. The billowing curtains, like ethereal seraphs, whispered enchanting melodies that resonated throughout the chamber, igniting cool zephyrs that caressed his silver-dark, calm complexion, bestowing upon him a sense of serenity and otherworldly tranquility. It was as if the very air itself had been enchanted, carrying the essence of love and devotion that filled the chamber.

An enigmatic smile, tinged with a hint of scarlet, graced his lips, a testament to the adoration and affection that swelled within him. His heart, an orchestra of emotions, swelled with a melange of passion, reverence, and desire, as he beheld the vision before him—a tapestry of celestial beauty that seemed to transcend the boundaries of mortal existence.

She stood before him, resplendent in a regalia of red sequined silks and sumptuous velvets, her attire an opulent symphony of textures and hues. The elixir of the moon cascaded over her southern skin, transforming her into a living embodiment of ethereal radiance. Her wheat-red body shimmered with a luminous aurora, each delicate curve and contour a testament to her divine allure. It was a sight that stirred the depths of his soul, transporting him back to the first time he beheld her on the banks of Fateh Sagar—a moment etched indelibly in his heart, forever engraved upon the annals of his memory. With each passing glance, his steps widened involuntarily, as if his very being was captivated and drawn toward her irresistible magnetism.

But it was not merely her resplendent attire that captivated him. She possessed an allure that transcended mere ornamentation, a captivating anatomy that needed no embellishment. Swathed in an ethereal shroud of ivory, she was adorned with a myriad of diamonds and purple rubies, their brilliance reflecting the celestial heavens above. Her copper eyes sparkled with an ineffable depth, keenly observing every inch of her being, as if searching for the secrets that lay hidden within. She lay upon a pristine white silk mattress, strewn with fragrant flowers that filled the chamber with their intoxicating perfume. She was the ruler of Mewar, the very embodiment of regality, the face that frequented his dreams, and the conqueror of his heart.
