Shivani POV

I was looking out of the window when I saw the royalty arrive. It had been a rather boring week at the palace with only Effie and Stella. We of course got to know about Allegra's exit and Lydia's execution. Amita had come back and married her love. She was now the Duchess of Indianna

Ef and Stell, the royalty have arrived.

"Hey, why is Piyali on the wheelchair and who are those new people." asked the ever inquisitive Stella.

"Miss, Sweta has called you all to the entrance to welcome the royalty." said a youg maid.

Come let's go.

I, Effie and Stella practically ran down the stairs we received such disapproving looks from Sweta.

Effie POV

The Royal family and the selected piled in through the big palace doors.

Queen Sitara was about to make an announcement.

"I hope you three enjoyed the week of calmness but am very sorry to disturb your calmness. I would like to introduce you to Amelia, Sanjana and Naina."

Piyali and two strange girls stepped forward. One of them was married.

"This is Sanjana. She is the Princess of Italy. She is going to be part of the selection."

She looked exactly like Piyali.

"This is Naina. Sanjana's sister and Jai's wife."

She looked very pretty.

"This is Amelia, Princess of France. She too is joining the selection."

She looked calm and gentle and very sweet.

Stella POV

We all went to our rooms after the arrival. On the way, Cassie told us about Piyali was now Sanjana and had lost her memory. How Jai was supposedly married to Naina etc.

I felt like the curtain near me had just ruffled. I looked but did not get time to investigate.

Author's Note: Sorry for the short chapter. Who was behind the curtain?
