As soon as they left, she locked the door in a hurry, dragging Alok who was standing in the threshold of the house bidding them farewell. That was a completely unexpected move which shocked her.
"Di, that was a nice plan. You actually befriended the new official. Now it's easy for our revenge. But the marriage part is a little.."
She looked at him in helplessness," What just happened was not my plan."
"Lord, what is he up to?" Deva bowed to her.
"Deva, ask our cobras to tail him more seriously. I want to know his every move and don't report this to Hiranga for the time being. Let me sort out this mess."
"Yes commander. He thought for a while, But lord, it doesn't make any sense. What does he mean by marriage even after knowing you are from Hiranga?"
"Deva, are you sure about the purpose of his visit?"
"Yes lord, we have confirmed with the captain, he is here to investigate the treason. And according to our cobras, he started from Sayyonee after the captain's suggestion."
"Then where is the knot in this case that I can't unknot? She pressed her head, thinking deeply while swinging in her rocking chair. Looks like we have underestimated this crowned prince."
"crowned prince!?" Alok was startled after keenly listening to their whole conversation.
"Yes, Deva looked at him with a smile, He is the crowned prince of Amai and with him was his brother and bodyguard."
"Then ,just now.. he just.." Alok looked at them in anxiety.
"That is what is puzzling us. What is his motive in proposing to a hirangan girl?"
She was silent deeply pondering on the issue, after some time she stood up
"Deva, pass my order", Deva immediately stood and bowed," at your service my lord."
"Infiltrate in Dashur court." She ordered him and went towards the door, opened the lock and turned back, "Alok get ready for the new game."
"My lord this.." He was still in a dilemma.
"I have decided to take this as a challenge given by fate. Let me see the skills of Amai in undercover. She smirked at him, here we are in the dark while them, exposed in light."
While in bed, Alok still couldn't sleep soundly. He was deeply stressed; what if they get to know my di, what if they harm her. While he was sleeping, a warm hand cuddled him. He didn't turn back as he was sure, it was his di.
"Alok, why are you worried?"
"di, this is dangerous. Let's go back." She patted him, "Alok don't forget who I am. I am born to take risks. This is a small thing.
From tomorrow you have to remind yourself, I am Apeksha, a dancer. So sometimes you have to control your feelings. Am I clear?"
"Yes di. I will follow you forever."
"That's my brother. So now go to sleep. Good night."
The next day, they reached her house early in the morning. Yuvan looked at her for her answer.
"I am willing to be part of your plan."
