A Love Written In Blood
Prologue
In a world where honor reigns supreme and love is a dangerous luxury, Harshvardhan Singh Rathore had never been the kind of man to be swayed by fleeting emotions. Bound by legacy, shaped by duty—his path was set in stone.
Harshvardhan Singh Rathore
24-year-old
Kunwar Sa of Rathasthan
Until Akriti Chauhan walked into his life.
Akriti Chauhan
22-year-old
Kunwarani Sa of Chahargarh
Their meeting was unexpected, their connection undeniable. What began as a fleeting exchange soon turned into something far more powerful, something neither of them could name. But in the heart of Rajasthan, where the past casts long shadows, some truths are better left undiscovered.
"इश्क़ की राहों में अक्सर इम्तिहान आते हैं,
कुछ नाम क़िस्मत में होते हैं, कुछ बस कहानी बन जाते हैं।"
(“The path of love is often tested,
Some names are written in fate, others remain just stories.”)
As whispers of destiny and deception intertwine, choices will be made, lines will be drawn, and love will be tested like never before. Because in this world, not every story is meant to have a happy ending.
Will they have a happy ending?

The Rival Kingdoms of Rajasthan: Rathasthan & Chahargarh
For centuries, Rajasthan has been divided between two powerful Rajput kingdoms—Rathasthan, ruled by the Rathore Rajputs, and Chahargarh, the stronghold of the Chauhan Rajputs. Though they share the same Rajput bloodline, their history is marked by war, betrayal, and an unyielding thirst for dominance over the heart of Rajasthan.
Rathasthan – The Western Rajput Kingdom
(Land of the Rathores, Warriors of the Dunes)
✔ Rulers: The Rathore Dynasty
✔ Capital: Suryagarh
✔ Territory:
Covers Western Rajasthan: Jodhpur, Bikaner, Barmer, Pali, Nagaur, Jaisalmer, and Jalore.
✔ Symbol: A golden sun over a red flag, representing the Suryavanshi lineage.
✔ Government: Absolute Monarchy with a council of nobles (Surya Sabha).
✔ Current Ruler: Maharaja Veerendra Singh Rathore, known as the "Desert Lion."
Rathasthan’s Strength & Power
Desert Warfare Masters – Unmatched in cavalry and swordsmanship, with elite warriors trained for guerrilla desert combat.
Fortified Strongholds – Suryagarh Fort is nearly impenetrable, serving as the kingdom’s military headquarters.
Trade & Wealth – Controls Rajasthan’s desert trade routes and camel caravans, making it one of the wealthiest Rajput states.
Rathore Pride – Their motto: “Marwar kabhi jhukta nahi” (Marwar never bows).
Chahargarh – The Eastern Rajput Kingdom
(The Land of the Chauhans, Lords of the Forts)
✔ Rulers: The Chauhan Dynasty
✔ Capital: Rajyagarh
✔ Territory:
Covers Eastern Rajasthan: Ajmer, Jaipur, Ranthambore, Kota, Tonk, and Alwar.
✔ Symbol: A rising sun behind a silver sword, representing victory and justice.
✔ Government: Absolute Monarchy with a council of nobles (Rajya Sabha)
✔ Current Ruler: Maharajadhiraj Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan, known as the "Guardian of the East."
Chahargarh’s Strength & Power
Fortress Warfare Masters – Their forts are architectural wonders designed to withstand long sieges and invasions.
Best Archers in Rajasthan – Known for their deadly precision, Chauhan warriors excel in long-range combat.
Economic & Cultural Hub – With Ajmer and Jaipur, they control temples, trade, and political alliances.
Chauhan Honor – Their motto: “Rajya se bada kuch nahi” (Nothing is greater than the kingdom).
The Eternal Rivalry: Rathasthan vs. Chahargarh
The two kingdoms have been locked in conflict for centuries, their battles fueled by:
✔ Ancient Blood Feuds → The Rathores claim the Chauhans are a fallen dynasty, while the Chauhans see the Rathores as upstarts who stole Rajputana.
✔ Disputed Lands → Control over Nagaur and Jaipur has sparked numerous wars.
The question remains—will Rathasthan and Chahargarh ever unite as one Rajputana, or will their rivalry destroy them both?
Let's dive into the story written by blood
"तेरे इश्क़ का क़त्ल मेरे नाम पर आया,
अब सज़ा भी मोहब्बत होगी या दुश्मनी?"
(“The murder of your love is blamed on me,
Now will the punishment be love or enmity?”)
[Hope it will help]
* Nagaur is a battlefield ground ruled by both
The rest of the states remain as they are
Episode 1
Rajyagarh Palace, Bharatpur
It was five o'clock in the morning, and the whole palace was filled with the melodious sound of anklets and soft classical music playing in the center of the palace
A honey skinned beauty was lost in her world, while her feet moved with the rhythm of the music as her eyes were closed
Long wavy hair wrapping around her perfectly curved body, as she twirls, he hands and arms moving in graceful manner
Even word "Perfect" is not perfect enough to describe her demeanor and grace she holds
Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)
आप फिर जल्दी उठ गयी (softly)
(you woke up early again)
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
खम्मा घणी बापू सा (smiles)
(Good morning father)
Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)
(chuckles)
आपको कितनी बार बोला है कि सामान्य रूप से बात करें, आपके लिए बस आपके बापू सा हैं, चाहरगढ़ के महाराज नहीं
(How many times I have told you to talk normally, I am just your father for you, not the kind of Chahargarh)
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
(giggles)
Good morning papa (runs and hugs him)
Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)
That's like my princess (pats her head)
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
माँ उठ गयी?!
(Has Maa woken up?)
Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)
आपसे पहले उठ जाती है वो, अलग बात है कि पूजा करने से पहले किसी से नहीं मिलती
(She wakes up before you, however she doesn't meet anyone before she performs pooja)
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
(pouts) I will go and meet her now
(ran inside)
Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)
(smiles) Silly
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
Good morning mamma!!
Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)
आपने डरा दिया हमें (pats her chest)
(You scared me)
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
आप अभी भी हमारे पुराने तरीकों से डर जाती हैं, इसमें हमारी क्या गलती?! (crossed her arms)
(You still end up getting scared of my old tricks, how is it my fault?!)
Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)
(smacks her head) Go and get ready for college brat (leave for kitchen)
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
(pouts)
चल आकृति, जल्दी त्यार हो, नहीं तो ये मां से कब काली मां बन जाएगी कुछ पता नहीं (ran towards her room)
(Come on Akriti, get ready quickly, otherwise no one knows when she will turn from Maa to Kali Maa)
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
अरे है कोई मेरे ज़्यादा खूबसूरत?! मैं नहीं बोल रही! पर खुद देखो ना!! है कोई?! (flips her hair)
(Is there anyone more beautiful than me? I am not saying it, but see yourself, isn't it?!)
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
(gives a flying kiss to herself through mirror) Such a sexy beauty I am
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
(leave room while twirling and dancing)
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
Good morning Chauhans!!
Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)
Good Morning princess (softly)
Mitali Chauhan (Fl sister)
Good morning dear (smiles)
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
How are you handsome?! (takes her seat)
Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)
As handsome as before (proud)
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
No doubt (nods in agreement)
Mitali Chauhan (Fl sister)
(chuckles)
Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)
(smiles) Let's eat baccha?
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
Yess I am so hungry (puppy eyes)
Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)
Then start eating
They had breakfast in silence as no one was allowed to speak unnecessarily during meals, the sound of clicking of cutlery was the only thing that could be heard
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
I am going (kiss Vaishali's and Mitali's cheeks)
Mitali Chauhan (Fl sister)
Take care baccha
Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)
Don't create troubles
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
(pouts)
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
Bye dadu (Hugs Nishkarsh)
Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)
(pats her head) Be careful
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
Bye papa (Hugs Rudra)
Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)
(kiss top of her head) Study well
Akriti Chauhan (Fl)
(ran outside)
As she ran outside, the whole dinning area fell in silence, tension hovering over everyone's face
They kept it normal in front of Akriti, not to make her worried
Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)
Rudrapratap (cold)
Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)
Ji bapu sa
Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)
In my study (left)
Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)
(follows him)
Mitali Chauhan (Fl sister)
What you think mumma?
Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)
I don't know Mitali, I just want Akriti to be away from all this
Mitali Chauhan (Fl sister)
Even I don't want her to get mingled with this rivalry, after what happened back then—
Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)
Don't! Don't talk about that, and forget whatever happened....
Mitali Chauhan (Fl sister)
Ji mumma (nods)
Vaishali Rudrapratap Chauhan (Fl mom)
(pats her head and leave)
Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)
कुछ पता चला? (cold)
(Got to know something?)
Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)
रथस्थान फिर हमला करने वाला है, बॉर्डर पर हमारी सेना तैयार है
(Rathasthan is going to attack again, our force is ready on border)
Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)
आकृति से ये सब दूर रखना है, उसे मालूम नहीं होना चाहिए इस सब के बारे में
(Keep all this away from Akriti, she must not get to know anything)
Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)
जी बाबू सा, पर... क्यू? राज गद्दी उसे ही तो मिलेगी, उसे तो सब मालूम होना चाहिए
(Ji bapu sa, but... why? She will sit on thrown next, she must know everything)
Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)
अभी उसे पता होने की जरूरत नहीं, बच्ची है, हमारी दुश्मनी के कारण उसके बचपन पर कोई आंच नहीं आनी चाहिए
(Right now it's not necessary, she is a child, our rivarly must not affect her chidhood)
Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)
Ji
Nishkarsh Singh Chauhan (Fl grandpa)
अब जाओ और मुझे खबर देते रहना (sighs)
(Now leave and keep me updated)
Rudrapratap Singh Chauhan (Fl dad)
(nods and leave)
"राहें जुदा, मंज़िलें अलग, फिर भी इक साज़िश छुपी है,
बेख़बर हैं दोनों, मगर तक़दीर की चिट्ठी लिखी है।
हवा भी अनजाने में उनके क़दमों के निशान जोड़ती है,
कहीं अजनबी वक़्त में मोहब्बत की आहट गूँजती है।"
(“Paths are different, destinies unknown, yet a conspiracy lingers,
They are unaware, but fate has already written its letter.
Even the wind unknowingly connects their footprints,
Somewhere, in an unfamiliar time, echoes of love begin to stir.”)
Episode 2
Suryagarh Palace, Jaisalmer
The dining area was calm and heavy, the man sitting in the head seat was deadly calm, the calm before the storm
Hriday Singh Rathore (Ml grandpa)
वर्धन कहां है? (cold)
(Where is Vardhan?)
Vaibhavi Veerendra Rathore (Ml mom)
बापू सा वो अभी सो रहा है, कल रात देर से वापस आया था (softly)

Hriday Singh Rathore (Ml grandpa)
अगर विजय ने बेवकूफी ना की होती तो हम कभी वर्धन को इन सब में आने ना देते (cold)
(If Vijay hadn't done that stupidity, I would have never let Vardhan get involved in all this)
Ranvijay Singh Rathore (Ml brother)
दादू सा माफ करदे...पर मैं सब संभालने के लिए तैयार हूं (धीमी आवाज)
(Dadu please forgive me, but I am ready to handle everything)
Hriday Singh Rathore (Ml grandpa)

Ranvijay Singh Rathore (Ml brother)

Veerendra Singh Rathore (Ml dad)
बहुत पुरानी बात है वो बापू सा, अब तो छोड़ दे—
(That happened long ago Dad, leave it now—)
Hriday Singh Rathore (Ml grandpa)

पुरानी नहीं है, जो काम इसने किया है, आने वाली पीढि़या उसका नुक्सान भुगतेंगी (cold)
*It is not old, the work it has done, the coming generations will suffer its loss)
Veerendra was quiet, he knew what Hriday said was true, the thing that Vijay did was something that could not be mended
The hall was again silent, that's when—

(Don’t call him coward, he did what I would have done long ago)
Harshvardhan Singh Rathore (Ml)
आज वो जहां भी है, खुश है, और अगर मुझे जरूरत पड़ी तो मैं भी वही करूंगा, भाई की तरह पछताना नहीं है मुझे (cold)

"कहीं दूर अजनबी शहर में, कोई साँस मेरी तरह चल रही है,
बेख़बर हैं हम दोनों, पर तक़दीर क़दम मिलाने को मचल रही है।
बस चंद दिनों की दूरी है इस अनजाने सफ़र में,
फिर वक़्त के पन्नों में एक नई दास्तान पल रही है।"
(“In some distant, unfamiliar city, a breath moves just like mine,
We are both unaware, yet destiny longs to align our steps.
Only a few days remain in this unknown journey,
And a new story is quietly growing in the pages of time.”)
