"Grandpa, you can't stop early", the child demanded.
" Teak hai mere bacche aaj lambi kahani hogi, toh bataao kaha tak aa pahuchi iss kahani? ", Grandpa asked with a smile.
" Warrior Purvi and Prince Arjun aka King Abhi blessed with Blue Lotus"
"Lekin Grandpa, Princess Radha ka kya? Voh toh King Abhi ko pasand karne lagi ti naa? ", Child asked.
" Tum... ab kahani sunoge yaa phir aise hi savaal karte rahoge? ", Grandpa glared at his grandson.
" Grandpa please please zyada nahi, mere kuch doubts hai clear kardo na plz plz", Child pleaded.
"Teak hai tumhara har ek savaal ka javaab deta hu pucho kya puchna chahte ho? ", Grandpa said.
" Princess Radha toh King Abhi ko pasand karti hai"
"Warrior Purvi ne abi abi kaha ki King Abhi pe sirf unka hak hai"
"Kya Warrior Purvi aur Princess Radha ek dusre se ladhnewaale hai? "
"Dusri taraf First Prince Vijay(Daya) se sachai chupaake rakha hai Prince Arjun ne, kya iss ladhai ke baad Prince Arjun ke saare rahasyonka pardha faash huva? "
"Third Prince Nakul ko toh Prince Arjun se sakt nafrat hai kya huva? Kya Prince Nakul ko Second Prince ke uper shak huva? "
"Kyunki Golden Lion se jeetna naa mumkin taa aur uper se Golden Lion ne khud Blue Lotus taufe mein de diye"
"Kya King Sherdil ko bhi Prince Arjun ka rahasy pata chal gaya? "
"Arey haa... aap kal hint diya ta na, SERPENT DRAGON baare mein, uska kya huva? "
"Kya King Abhi ne voh 2 swords haasil kar li? "
"Ufff, mai thak gaya Grandpa ab aur savaal nahi bas itna hi", Child took a deep breath.
" Aur kuch baaki hai? ", Grandpa raised his eyebrows.
The child nodded as no..
Grandpa took a deep breath and smiled, " Sab kuch aaj pata nahi chalega lekin Blue Lotus ke aage ki kahani suno tum, teak hai? ", he then started to narrate the story.
Chapter 10:- Four Lions of the Country
Kingdom of Bravery:-
" Young Prince, Young Prince there is one shocking news ", Suddenly Main loyal minister of Third Prince rushed in.
" What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? ", Prince Nakul slowly drank a cup of wine.
" Second Prince, Second Prince", Minister shouted.
"Kya huva usse? Mar gaya kya? Ye toh accha hi huva naa haha", Prince Nakul laughed.
" Second Prince ke haat mein Blue Lotus hai", Minister shouted.
"Bas itna... kyaaaaa... kya bakwas hai ye? ", Prince Nakul suddenly shouted...
" Sach hai, pure samrajya mein ye baat ho rahi hai, Prince Arjun ne mukabla jeet li hai", Minister said.
"Kaise? Second Prince ke paas shaktiya hi nahi hai toh voh uss divine sher ka mukabla kaise kar sakta hai? Yaha ho kya raha hai? ", Prince Nakul asked and smashed his wine cup.
The Minister hesitated and stepped back, " Ek air khabar bhi hai"
"Ab bol bi do, muh mein kyun chupaake rakha hai? " , The third prince glared and shouted.
"Among those 4 Lions of the country, that southern lion appeared inside our country", Minister said.
Prince Nakul was stunned.. , " Kya? ye naa mumkin hai, voh yaha kaise aa sakta hai? "
"Ye sach hai, Vaha bahut saare log te, Prince Arjun, unke army, Princess Radha and her army aur uske alava Warrior Purvi bhi vaha time", Minister said.
" Huh... "
"Agar Warrior Purvi vaha gayi ti toh voh bhi vaha gaya hoga"
"One of the 4 Lions of the country"
"King of Southern Mountains, King Abhi"
"Lekin kyun? Usse yaha aana varjit hai naa? Agar humhaare log yaha usse dekh liya toh maar daalenge naa, humhe aur uske beech pehle se hi ladhai chaalu hai", Prince Nakul confused.
" Lekin ek baat hai jo humhe fayda dega Highness ", Minister gave a wicked smile.
" Aur voh kya hai? ", Prince Nakul raised his eyebrows.
" Zara sochiye Young Prince"
"King Abhi ke liye humhare kingdom mein aana varjit hai phir bhi voh yaha aaye te"
"Aur uper se Prince Arjun ke saamne aaye te toh iss khabar Maharaj Sherdil tak pahuch gayi toh... ", that minister laughed.
" Hahaha, sahi kaha tumne... Aaj Prince Arjun ka chapter humhesha humhesha ke liye khatam "
"Pitaji ko ye samajhaana padega ki Prince Arjun ne King Abhi ke saat haat milaaya aur Blue Lotus ko haasil ki, hahahahaha bhai bhai bhai... tum toh gaye... "The Third Prince laughed.
" Aap ke raste ke kata aaj khatam, Your Highness ", Minister also joined .
The entire room is filled with their evil laugh.
A few hours ago...
" Chalo, ye toh khatam huva, ek mere liye aur ek tere liye", Purvi smiled and forwarded one blue lotus to Prince Arjun aka Abhi.
"Kyun gussa nahi ho mere pe? Tum se sach jo chupaya hai", Abhi asked.
" Sach kahu, tujhe maarne ki man kar raha hai", she smiled and then said to herself, "Maine bhi ek sach ko chupaake rakha hai naa isiliye ye barabar huva"
"Kya soch rahi ho mujhe bhi bata do", Abhi asked.
" Tujhe kaise khatam karu ye soch raha hu", Purvi glared at him.
"Second Prince", Princess Radha with her team arrived.
" Kaun hai aap? ", Prince Arjun asked.
" Princess Radha, aap ne suna hoga", she smiled.
"Whoa... toh ye sach hai , there is one unparalleled beauty in this kingdom"
"Maine socha ye sirf kahavat hai lekin aap sach mein khubsurat hai", Purvi said in a low voice.
" Warrior Purvi, aap ke baare mein bahut suna ta "
"Extreme Beauty with terrifying strength"
"One of the two War Gods, so many", Princess Radha smiled.
Abhi suddenly sensed something wrong.
These two females are not giving good compliments but in reality they both don't like each other.
" Princess Radha, aasha hai aaj jo kuch bhi huva aap kisi ko bataayegi yahi", Abhi smiled.
Princess Radha and her team nodded.
"Aap yaha kyun aayi hai Rajkumari... jeeee? ", Purvi asked.
" Mujhe shadi ke liye rajkumaar chahiye"
"Humhare khandaan mein Kingdom of Bravery ke Rajkumaar se hi meri shadi ho sakti hai"
"Aur 3 rajkumar mein se Prince Arjun aap mere liye sahi hai", Princess Radha directly said.
Purvi was a little stunned, Abhi surprised..
" Kya? kya kaha aap ne? Ye.. ye aap ke liye sahi hai? Lekin iska dimaag sahi nahi hai", Purvi said.
"Haaan? ", All stunned.
Abhi quickly dragged her aside and said, " Tum mere zindagi mein taang kyun ladha rahi ho? Voh kitni khubsurat hai aur uper se teri tarah ek yodha bhi hai, aur kya chahiye mujhe? "
"You... nonsense", Purvi rolled her eyes.
" Second Prince, kyaa aap mujh se shadi karenge? ", Princess Radha asked.
" Ye sab yaha teak nahi, humhe pehle pitaaji ke paas jana hoga, aur tum Purvi Tu jaa sakti hai", Abhi smiled.
"Agar kuch galat socha toh maar dalaungi samjha", Purvi glared at him and disappeared with one blue lotus.
" Isse achanak kya huva? ", Abhi thought.
Flashback ends.
Kingdom of Bravery:-
" Maharaj Sherdil Padha rahe hai", soon announcement made .
King Sherdil arrived with his personal caretakers.
"Koi khabar? ", he asked his minister.
" 3 rajkumaar vapas aa chuke hai Highness, andar aane ki izaazat chahte hai", Minister said.
"Teak hai", Sherdil nodded.
" Teeno rajkumaar padhaa rahe hai", and with this, another announcement made.
"Princess Radha seeking for the audience", suddenly another soldier rushed.
Sherdil nodded...
Soon she and old commander arrived.
" My three proud lions come, come.. ", Sherdil smiled.
All three paid respect and sat down .
" Blue Lotus aur competition ka kya huva? ", Sherdil slowly asked.
" Third Prince", Minister called.
"Your Highness, third Prince gathered 868 points included tiger and elephants", Minister said.
All clapped...
Third Prince proudly comes front and slightly bow down.
" Hahaha, my proud son, here is your reward", Sherdil forwarded the box.
"Thank you Lord, father", Prince Nakul bowed again and opened the box.
Huh...
All gasped..
That's the map of ancient treasure which is hidden inside the kingdom.
More than 100 years crossed no one is able to find out the place.
It is said that that treasure is 10 times bigger than entire South Indian region.
Prince Nakul shocked and then smiled, "Bahut bahut shukriya"
"Bahut dhyaan se istemaal karna", Sherdil laughed.
" Next, Prince Vijay(Daya) with 1700 points", Minister said.
There is a surprise and shock at the same time.
Even Sherdil little shocked..
Almost 1000 points difference.
"Elder son, our future... yaha aao", Sherdil asked Prince Vijay ..
Prince Vijay knelt down in front of the king.
Sherdil looked at his minister.
Soon another big box arrived.
2-3 people held the box and carefully put it down.
When the box was opened, all stunned.
" Golden Mace!!!! ", Prince Vijay exclaimed.
This is a weapon everyone dreamed for.
Prince Nakul clenched his fist, " voh mujhe chahiye taa damn it"
Golden Mace is the strongest weapon of the southern Region.
Not only powerful but also very expensive.
Golden Mace is decorated with 16 expensive and rare dimaonds ..
"Shukriya Lord", Prince Vijay(Daya) bow down and then went with the Golden Mace.
Prince Arjun gave a thumbs up..
Prince Vijay smiled and nodded.
" Next... n.. next", the Minister saw the list and trembled.
All confused...
Even though Prince Nakul knows the result, still confused.
"Kya huva, aise kyun dar rahe hai aap? ", Sherdil asked.
" Your highness, Prince Arjun with 2700 points", Minister frightened a little.
Whatttt!!!!!
Prince Nakul, Prince Vijay, all ministers stood up in shock...
Sherdil looked at Prince Arjun and was shocked.
"Phir se kaho", Sherdil shouted.
" Ye sach hai maharaj aur.. aur", Minister stammered.
"Aur kuch baaki hai? ", Sherdil asked.
" Prince Arjun received the Blue Lotus", the Minister almost collapsed.
BOOM...
Like thunder... everyone felt their head was buzzing..
All looked at each other.
"Kyaaaaaa!!!! ", Sherdil stood up in utter disbelief.
" Second Prince ne Blue Lotus haasil kiya, sach mein? ", Sherdil asked again.
" Yes King", Prince Arjun finally spoke.
"Hahaha good, good very good"
"Never expected this, wow great great", Sherdil laughed.
Prince Vijay(Daya) looked at his younger brother with complicated eyes..
kya mere bhai mujh se kuch chupa raha hai???
The entire hall is filled with applause..
" My great son yaha aao", Sherdil happily said.
But Prince Arjun didn't move an inch.
The minister quickly said, "Young Prince, maharaj aap ko bula rahe hai"
"Kaise jaayega aage? Khud haasil kiya hota toh khushi milti lekin dushmanonke saat milke Blue Lotus ko haasil ki hai isne", suddenly the third prince shouted.
Pin drops silence everywhere.
" Kya bol rahe ho Nakul? Kya baat hai? ", Sherdil got angry.
" Pitaaji, bhai se puch kyun lete aap? Inhone kya kiya hai? "
"Shatru ke saat milke kaam kiya hai"
"Second Prince kehlaane ke layak nahi hai ye", Prince Nakul said.
" Ho kya raha hai? Prince Nakul, saaf saaf bolo baat kya hai? ", Prince Vijay glared at him.
" Silence!!!! ", Sherdil raised his hand.
all stopped whispering..
" Prince Nakul, explain karo", Sherdil said.
"Southern Mountain Kings", Prince Nakul said these three words.
Hearing these three words all changed their expression.
Some kind of fear appeared on their face.
" King Abhi!! ", Sherdil is also fumed.
"Lekin usse Blue Lotus ka kya talluk? ", Sherdil clenched his fists and asked.
" One minute one minute, Grand pa, King Abhi ke naam sunke Maharaj Sherdil gussa kyun uthe? ", Child suddenly interrupted.
" Oh tujhe nahi pata hoga, suno"
"Sherdil Pure South(Dakshin) Bharat ke Raja ban naa chahte te"
"Aur saare yudh jeet li ti"
"Lekin ek hi bacha ta, bahut chota sa lekin mysterious"
"Vahi ta Southern Mountain Kings"
"Sherdil ne Southern Mountain se yudh kiya"
"Lekin 3 din mein sirf 3 din mein yudh haar gaye"
"Commander Pankaj , Prithvi aur unki sena pure Kingdom of Bravery ko hara diya"
"Sherdil gussa isliye nahi te ki voh haar gaye"
"Voh gussa isliye te ki Voh commander se yudh haar gaye"
"Ek raja ke liye dusre raja se haarna koi badi baat nahi hai"
"Lekin ek mahaan raja hoke commander se haarna sharmnaak baat hoti hai"
"Sherdil ke saamne King Abhi aaye hi nahi"
"Sirf aadhe sena pure Kingdom of Bravery ko haara diya"
"Isiliye Kingdom of Bravery mein Southern Mountain Kings logonko aana varjit hai agar agaya toh turant maare jaayenge", Grandpa said.
" Oh isiliye sab log aise gusse mein aur gabraa rahe hai, aage boliye grand pa kya huva? ", Child asked.
" Suno huva ye ki.. ", Grandpa continued.
" Bolo chup kyun ho? ", Sherdil shouted.
" Pitaji, Second Prince ne King Abhi se haat milaa li aur saat mein yudh kiye"
"Blue Lotus... huh.. ye Blue Lotus ussi ka tauffa hai", Third Prince said.
What the hell... all looked at the Second Prince.
He asked for help from their enemy?..
" Prince Arjun", Sherdil shouted.
Prince Arjun slowly walked in front and said, "Ye sach hai Maharaj"
"Himmat ki daat deta hu, mere saamne khade hokar mere hi dushman se haat milali ye bolne ke liye", Sherdil laughed in anger.
" Ismein mera koi dosh nahi hai Maharaj", Second Prince slowly said.
"Natak mat kijiye bhai aap ne ... "The Third Prince tried to say but Prince Vijay suddenly stopped him.
" Third Prince, ye raj sabha hai , tum jo bhi ho yaha Maharaj ke saamne aise bol nahi sakte itna bhi nahi pata? ", Prince Vijay said.
" Third Prince, mai tumse nahi puch raha ab, baith jaao", Sherdil fumed, "Prince Arjun agar tum sach mein uss shatru ke saat haat milaya toh.. ", Sherdil narrowed his eyes.
" Mere paas aur koi rasta nahi taa"
"Your highness, aap Princess Radha se bhi puch sakte hai mere desh ke khilaaf maine kuch nahi kiya", Prince Arjun said.
" Jhoot, maine suna hai ki aap ne King Abhi se milke ye Blue Lotus haasil ki", Prince Nakul said.
"My dear brother, aap ne sirf suna lekin Princess Radha vaha khud mahjood ti, Maharaj aap pehle unki baat suniye uske baad faisla dijiyegaa"
"Tab bhi aap ko mai galat lagta hu toh koi bhi dand mujhe sweekar hai", Prince Arjun said.
" Princess Radha, aapko aise puchne ke liye maafi chahte hai, kya aap todi roshni daalegi? ", Sherdil personally asked.
" Your highness, Second Prince ne jo bhi kaha sach hi hai"
"Great warrior King Abhi.. aur ek baat vaha sirf King Abhi nahi te, Warrior Purvi bhi saat mein ti"
"Second Prince ne unhe nahi bulaya ta voh log khud aaye te", Princess Radha said.
" With all respect, Princess, hum ye maan lete hai ki vog donno aaye te.. lekin kyun? ", Prince Vijay asked.
" First Prince, ye Blue Lotus ke liye", Princess said.
All confused...
"Mujhe pata hai aab ko samajh mein nahi aya"
"Lord, vaha ek nahi 2 Blue Lotus te"
"Ek King Abhi aur Warrior Purvi leke gaye"
"Aur dusra Second Prince ke liye chod gaye", she clarified everything.
All the ministers looked at each other and started talking to themselves.
" Silence!!! "
Sherdil shouted again, "Kya sach mein Second Prince ka haat nahi hai ismein? "
Princess Radha nodded, "Maharaj, mai apne pure Beauty Palace ke kasam khaake keh rahi hu ye sach hai"
"Ek Blue Lotus Warrior Purvi leke gayi hai"
"Aur dusra Prince Arjun ke paas hai"
"Aur ek baat, voh saare 2700 points Soldier King Prithvi aur unke soldiers ne haasil ki hai"
"Ismein King Abhi ka koi haat nahi", She said.
Sherdil sighed, " King Abhi... yaha kyun... "
Suddenly the third prince shouted, "Teak hai jo kuch bhi tum logo ne kaha sach hi hai, maan lete hai, lekin"...
" Lekin Second Prince ne King Abhi ko pakad ke laa sakte te naa unhe jaane kyun diya? "The Third Prince asked.
Everyone looked at Prince Arjun...
Prince Arjun shook his head...
Prince Vijay(Daya) laughed...
Sherdil who was already annoyed a lot, was now fumed, " Elder Prince, ye koi tarika hai raj sabha mein hasne ka"
"Lord maaf kijiye ga, chote bhai ne aisa mazaak kiya ki hasi ruki hi nahi", Prince Vijay said with a laugh.
" Yaha koi mazaak nahi chal raha", Third Prince said, "Aap bhai ke taraf javaab dena band kijiye bade bhai"
"Third Prince, sab log kehte hai ki aap hoshiyaar ho lekin aap se bada bewakoof aaj tak nahi dekha", Prince Vijay said.
Prince Arjun giggled...
Princess Radha controlled her laugh.
" Elder Brother!!!! "The Third Prince shouted.
" Prince Vijay, ye raj sabha hai bhooliye mat", Minister said.
"Aur kya karu mai?... Mere bhai Arjun, bolo tumhare saat kitne log te? ", Prince Vijay(Daya) asked.
" 72", Prince Arjun said.
"Maharaj, kya 72 warriors King Abhi aur Warrior Purvi ko rok sakte hai? ", Prince Vijay seriously asked his father.
Sherdil's expression changed.
That's right, even an entire army is not enough to face them...
Third Prince still argued, " Voh log sirf 2 aur humhaare 72 , ye bhi koi mushkil kaam ta? "
Elder Prince sighed, "Tumhe sach nahi pata abi tak"
"Warrior Purvi ke voh safed(white) Dupatta mein kaun si shakti hai nahi pata abi tak?"
"King Abhi ke paas jo hatiyaar hai usse kaun jeet sakta hai? ", Prince Vijay's voice a little trembled.
All including Sherdil a little panicked ..
The Elder Prince said two words.
" Sword of Trishul"
Huh... all gasped in fear.
This is the legendary weapon which King Abhi always uses.
Warrior Purvi's dupatta is also invisible because of this only.
Her dupatta fully contains this Sword's power.
That's why it is said that other than themselves, no one can defeat Abhi-Purvi.
The Sword of Trishul is the legend of the world.
"Little Third Prince, tumhe nahi pata"
"Lekin Kingdom of Bravery ka haarne ka asli kaaran yahi hai, Sword of Trishul"
"Issi sword ke aage humhara samrajya ghutne teeke te, ye sach zyada logonko nahi pata"
"King Abhi aur Warrior Purvi ko koi kuch nahi kar sakta isiliye ab samjhe? ", Prince Vijay sighed.
" Sword... Sword of Trishul? Pi... Pitaji.. kya.. kya voh sirf ek kahani nahi? ", Prince Nakul asked in a frightened voice.
Sherdil trembled and said, " Ye sach hai"
"Sword of Trishul ke saamne hum log haar chuke hai"
"Southern Mountain Kings ko koi kuch nahi kar sakta, uska karan yahi hatiyaar(weapon) hai"
"Bas ab aage kuch nahi bolega"
"Second Prince... ", Sherdil about to say but Prince Vijay interrupted.
" Maharaj, Second Prince ko bina kuch soche sabke saamne Third Prince ne humiliate kiya hai"
"Ye Rajneeti ke khilaaf hai aap bhi jaante hai", he said.
" Lekin pitaaji mai sirf aapke", Third Prince tried to say..
Sherdil waved his hand, "Prince Nakul, apne bhai se maafi mango, aur apne haat mein jo naksha (map) hai usse dedo"
"Pitaji? ", Prince Nakul was shocked.
Man... this is the map of ancient treasure..
How can I give it to him, he is my enemy.
But I can't go against my father, not now..
" Ji... Ji Pitaji", Prince Nakul bowed down and apologized to Prince Arjun.
Prince Arjun smiled and received the map, "Mai iska acche se khayal rakhunga"
Prince Nakul gritted his teeth but didn't say anything.
"Tujhe chodunga nahi", Nakul thought.
" Aaj ka sabha yahi samapt... "
"Nahi nahi nahi, aap ne Serpent Dragon ke baare mein kuch bola hi nahi .. aap ne jhoot bola mujh se nahiiii", Child started crying.
" Arey itni raat ho chuki hai agar aise rote laga toh mai aage bataunga hi nahi", Grandpa knows how to handle his grandson.
"Grandpa ye galat hai, aap mujhe dhamki de rahe hai ", Child wiped his tears.
" Toh tum bhi mujhe apne aasu se dhamki hi toh de rahe ho.. promise kal sach mein bataaunga", Grandpa said and switched off the light.
"Serpent Dragon... kya huva hoga", Child thought and slowly slept...
To be continued...
