TRIAL-END OF AN ERA

Chapter -36

Report!! A python kneeled before Jatin. He handed him a roll of paper tied in blue ribbon with a white rose in it. He took it and rushed towards Jiva even though his majesty is the present head of serpents in absence of commander and should be informed first. On his way he asked guards to notify them as the white rose reminded him; it's related to her. Within minutes he gathered all of them leaving them in peak anxiety. He handed the scroll to Jiva, "Jiva, I didn't inform his majesty according to rules. They have sent a scroll instead of a message. So this is big." He gestured to him to open and read it. Jiva stood there holding the scroll and they circled him. They opened it and read it, their eyes moving to and fro giving different expressions.

"So now we have another little brother, Jiva" Dhruv had a sigh of relief.

"I was scared to bones seeing the rose." Aram still had his eyes bulged out in anxiety.

Jiva smiled in pride, "As always, I am proud of her." He raised his head towards heaven.

A wave of silence passed, Amanya and Naman were sitting face to face feet apart. Alok was standing behind her, a little reluctant with this new unfamiliar character.

"Naman, who and why?" She asked in a voice resonating the power of a commander as in the legends.

" Lord, it's him; the minister of treasury Chitran. He is planning a rebellion. For that he wants weapons and Sayyonee has unnoticed resources. He evacuated them in a neat stroke."

"Ba*****" Alok couldn't control his temper. He looked at his di and her eyes were enough for him to get hope.

"Why didn't cobras notice or report it before?"

" My lord, we got information about his rebellion plan but it was just in the starting stage and we were concentrating on the Mekong conference. After that, General Dhruva informed us about your arrival. So.."

"Current situation of Amai court."

"Lord, King Naresh is well aware of Chitran's rebellion plan but the matter about Sayyonee is a secret. It happened yesterday and the local authorities called it a disaster due to lightning. He smirked sarcastically. Naresh has sent the crowned prince undercover to catch him red handed. They will arrive here by next week."

She stood, and Naman instantly stood from his chair "Waiting for your order my lord"

"Naman, I want you to protect him, Chithran."

"Huhh?? Alok  went to his di, his eyes rolled in shock.

"Dii??"

She looked at Alok " If you kill him, it may list as a natural death or a suicide or maybe a murder in the name of cobras; then he will become a martyr who died for his country.

Wait for him to be caught by the prince. Let the world and the rest of generations remember him for his cruel deeds, for that he should be alive. He should be alive to be dragged by me. He should be alive to be punished by you. Am I clear?" Her words sounded like thunder shaking the walls.

"Naman" She looked at him in her known aura.

" Will be done my lord." He bowed.

"Naman, go and inform the prince about Sayyonee but not about Alok."

She went to Alok and patted his shoulders. " Now what we have to do is just wait; wait for his doom."
