"Aaj yudh me ham jaenge... Aap yaha sab kuch samhaal lena"
(Today I'll go in the war, handle everything here)
Akshat Singh Rathore, the elder brother of y/n, smiled softly as he came to meet y/n after preparing to go to war. They had agreed that only one person would accompany the soldiers from the Royal kingdom each day, ensuring that if anything were to happen, the other would safely evacuate all the women and children from the kingdom. In this critical situation, they couldn't afford to take any risks. Y/n simply gazed at her brother, and for the first time, Akshat noticed fear in her eyes. Despite being the strongest among them, seeing her scared left him slightly taken aback
"Ab dar kyu rahi hai"
(Why are you getting scared)
While gazing at her tenderly, he uttered words, but y/n remained silent, fixated on her brother. She was aware that today Tahir would reveal his darkest side on the battlefield, determined to annihilate the kingdom of Rajgarh regardless of the consequences. Akshat smiled affectionately at her and gently planted a kiss on her forehead, causing her to lower her gaze. Then, he spoke softly
"Aap daro mat... Aap hamaari sherni ho na aur shreniyaan darti nahi hai"
(Don't be scared... You're my lioness and lioness don't get scared)
Y/n embraced him tightly upon hearing his words, feeling a sense of fear deep within her. She was determined not to lose her brother under any circumstances. Despite her desire to join the battle, Akshat refused to let her go. He gently returned her hug, comforting her and understanding her fear. Hind and Awadh were formidable opponents, with slim chances of victory against them. However, this did not mean they would surrender without a fight. Akshat held her face, making her meet his gaze, and spoke softly
"Bhulo mat... Jo haar maan le vo rajput nahi"
(Don't forgot.... If you give in than you're not a rajput)
Akshat was taken aback when he laid eyes on Tahir; it was the very same individual who had rescued his sister from the blazing fire. A wave of darkness washed over his eyes as he comprehended that Tahir, the prince, had gone to extreme lengths, even endangering his sister's life, just to portray himself as a virtuous person in their eyes. The sound of drums reverberated loudly, signaling the commencement of the war, and Tahir couldn't help but smirk as he observed Akshat approaching him
"Tahir singh chauhan... Ham tumhe hamaare haatho se maarenge"
(Tahir singh Chauhan.. I'll kill you with my own hands)
Akshat let out a deafening roar as he locked eyes with Tahir, launching into a fierce attack with his sword. Tahir's expression darkened upon hearing the words, prompting him to retaliate with equal ferocity. The soldiers of Rajgarh closed in around Tahir, causing his brothers to move towards the director, but Tahir raised his palm, signaling them to stop. They simply smirked at the dark smile on their brother's face. Tahir drew another sword, gripping both blades in his hands, leaving Akshat stunned. Tahir proceeded to dispatch the soldiers with brutal efficiency, wielding the swords in both hands. Since childhood, Durga had trained him to wield a sword with either hand in case of injury
Tahir's garments quickly become drenched in the soldiers' blood as he sinisterly chuckles, proceeding to ruthlessly slash Akshat's abdomen, causing him to emit a loud groan. The soldiers arrive to engage in combat with Tahir and rescue Akshat, yet Tahir single-handedly dispatches each soldier with brutal force. Akshat's horse swiftly carries him away from the scene, while one soldier pursues. Tahir merely gazes at this unfolding with a smug expression. Although he could have easily slit the soldier's throat and ended his life right then and there, he refrains from doing so due to y/n
"Aaj to sirf hamaari haewaaniyat ki ek jhalak dekhogi tum rajkumaari"
(Today you will see the trailer of my monster behavior)
Y/n emerged from the palace, sprinting swiftly, only to witness her brother's return on his horse, gravely injured. The soldiers promptly rushed towards him, swiftly carrying him away. Akshat had already lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss, leaving y/n standing there, deeply wounded. She remained rooted to the spot, her gaze fixated on the lifeless bodies of the soldiers. Today, the number of casualties far exceeded that of yesterday. The soldier in charge hastened towards y/n and spoke
"Rajkumaari.. Hamaare 1000 saenik aaj maare gae aur tahir singh chauhan ne akele 600 se jyada saenik ko maara hai. Rajkumaar ki ye haalat bhi unhone hi ki hai, vo insaan akele pure rajgarh ko khatam kar sakta hai"
(Princess.. Our 1000 soldiers died today and tahir singh chauhan alone killed more than 600 soldiers. He is the one who make prince condition like this, he can end whole rajgarh alone)
Y/n's hands trembled uncontrollably upon hearing the soldier's words. She raised her gaze slowly, her eyes fixated on the tear-stricken faces of the women who mourned the loss of their husbands. Witnessing them break their bangles, a symbol of immense significance in a woman's life, was a heart-wrenching sight. As she stepped into the palace, Y/n observed numerous soldiers receiving care from the maids, tending to their injuries. Finally, she entered her brother's room and found him lying on the bed, his condition severely wounded
Tahir's words echo in her thoughts, making her realize that she has the power to stop this war. However, it would mean sacrificing her dignity in front of him. As she enters her room, she collapses to her knees, tears streaming down her face as her heart aches. Witnessing her older brother in such a state pains her deeply. She understands that Tahir spared him because of her, but he won't hesitate to harm her other brother tomorrow. He is a ruthless monster capable of brutal killings, yet she knows she has the ability to prevent it
"Y/n tum aese kyu ro rahi ho"
(Y/n why are you crying like this)
Upon entering, Indravati was taken aback by the sight of Y/n looking utterly broken. She extended a helping hand to Y/n, who embraced her and began to cry. Indravati assumed it was due to her brother's condition, but in truth, Y/n was overwhelmed by the thought that she could potentially end the war. After taking a deep breath, Y/n opened up to Indravati and shared everything
"Jiss insaan ne tumhaari jaan bachai vo tahir singh chauhan hai"
(The person who saved your life is tahir singh chauhan)
Indravati's face remained emotionless as y/n nodded slowly. A sharp pain struck Indravati's chest when she realized that the man she admired wanted his sister to be his queen and had gone to great lengths to secure the throne of Rajgarh. Initially thinking he was kind, she now understood that he was none other than Tahir Singh Chauhan, notorious for his cruel actions. Her heart ached with sorrow
"Kya tum usse vivah karogi"
(Will you marry him)
Indravati, with a stoic expression concealing her anguish, observed as y/n approached the window and beheld the multitude of lifeless bodies strewn across the kingdom's streets. The wails and sobs of women and their children enveloped Rajgarh, causing Indravati to slowly nod, her heart shattering into fragments. Tears welled up in her eyes, yet she swiftly brushed them away, not wishing for y/n to witness her vulnerability
Meanwhile Tahir examines his wounds in the expansive mirror, over three hundred soldiers from Rajgarh lost their lives today. The remaining soldiers are occupied with the solemn task of repatriating the fallen bodies to the kingdom. Gently, he applies a turmeric paste to his chest, emitting a soft groan. He is aware that she must be shedding tears over the events that unfolded today
Tahir noticed a figure's reflection in the mirror, prompting him to cautiously turn around. To his surprise, he discovered a woman concealed in black attire inside his tent. However, he was certain that she was not y/n. Indravati removed the cloth from her face, causing Tahir to gaze at her with a startled expression. In haste, he grabbed his kurta from the table and hastily put it on, not wanting her to observe his exposed body. Indravati approached him with an emotionless expression and uttered
"Hamse vivah karlo..."
(Marry me)
He was taken aback upon hearing her words and gazed at her tear-filled eyes. He was aware that she had feelings for him from the beginning, and upon discovering that he was Tahir Singh Chauhan, he realized she may have come to marry him. However, this did not imply that he would marry her. His heart belonged to someone else, and he could not fathom being with anyone other than her
"Tum chahao to hame vivah ke baad bandi banaakar bhi rakh sakte ho... Hamaari bahen ko jaane do. Hamne kabhi y/n ko itna tuta hua nahi dekha hai.. "
(If you want than you can keep me as a prisoner after wedding... Let my sister go. I had never saw y/n this much broken before)
Indravati couldn't hold back her tears after uttering those words. She took a deep breath, hoping no one would notice her presence. He signaled for her to stay silent, but she simply glared at him. She had fallen for him, believing he was a good man. However, upon discovering his true identity, she was furious with herself for developing feelings for him. She was aware that y/n would perish if she married Tahir, who would also subject her to torment due to their enmity
"Tumhari bahen ke kaaran hamaare diye hue dard seh logi"
(Will you be able to handle the pain give by me because of your sister)
Indravati's heart trembled as Tahir's sinister smile spread across his face. The tales she had heard about him had filled her with fear. They called him a monster, and the stories of his countless victims only intensified her apprehension. However, amidst her terror, Y/n's tear-streaked face flashed in her mind. Y/n had always treated her as a beloved sister, and witnessing her agony pained Indravati deeply. With a heavy heart, she reluctantly nodded, prepared to endure any torment, even if it meant sacrificing her own life to protect her sister from the menacing figure before her
"Yaha se chali jao rajkumaari... Kyuki hame sirf y/n chahiye"
(Go from here princess... Because I only want y/n)
Indravati gazes at him as he darkly smirks, her glare filled with anger before she walks away to contemplate a new plan to rescue y/n from him. Meanwhile, Tahir removes his kurta and begins to apply turmeric paste on his wounds, his mind consumed with thoughts of her. He can't explain why he has a strong intuition that she will eventually come to see him and agree to his request
"Kaun ho tum"
(Who are you)
Shantanu approached a woman who had just dismounted from a horse, her face concealed by a black cloth. As she unveiled her face, he was taken aback by what he saw. Y/N gazed at him, recognizing him as the youngest prince of the hind kingdom. After contemplating everything, she made the decision to approach him. Shantanu walked towards her, glanced down, and spoke
"Bhabhi saa... Aap bahut acchi yoddha hai"
(Sister in law you're very good warrior)
He smiled at her, but she gave him a deadly glare upon hearing him refer to her as his sister-in-law. She began walking towards Tahir's tent, leaving Shantanu in shock. Amidst the ongoing war, his elder brother was engaging in secret romance with the princess by inviting her to his tent at night
"Bhai saa bhi naa... Bichari bhabhi saa ko itne raat ko yaha bula liye. Khud rajmahal jaake unse nahi mil sakte the"
(Why brother called sister in law there at this late night. He can also go to palace to meet her)
Shantanu shook his head in disbelief at his brother's actions, determined to teach him how to respect women so that they would love him instead of attacking him. Witnessing y/n's merciless attack on Tahir made him realize that she was the perfect woman for his brother, capable of handling him and protecting his two innocent younger brothers from harm
