Sharpest Edge Of The Dagger
The beloved
A half blood citizen of Adhira...
His father is from Taraeotirkus...
The Head General who is said to have lead the army to victory many times....
Defeat is something he has never presented the Emperor with....
Married to Royal Princess, Aria's aunt Katyayni
General Prabal Guha (FL uncle)
The Crown Princess surely lives up to her name and fame....
Aria pulls him up according to the etiquette....
Aria Charulata Vastava (FL)
So is it that all for today?
She grins.... Vastava's have a unique character of them... That the more of the slacker they are in their young lives the more they grow up to be the high level ruler....
General Prabal Guha (FL uncle)
My mother surely didn't joke when she said it was a hassle for the Reigning Empress (Aria's Grandmother)to train the Emperor .....
He sighed cause this student of his is a brilliant one.... In thinking of ways to escape the training....
General Prabal Guha (FL uncle)
Did you do polish your weapons..... That I assigned yesterday?
She gives a sly smile while nodding positively....
General Prabal Guha (FL uncle)
How many times do I have to tell you to not use your powers to do this minimal tasks...
And it continues cause Guha is never tired of talking and Aria never tired of listening.... Patience flows in her blood....
So this was the daily scenerio of Adhira
Soon the sun was the at the verge of setting.... Royal workers lighted diyas (earthen lamps) to brighten up the whole palace which used to shine the same but with the smile and kindness of a person .....
It was time for the last meal of the day....
A huge thal (brass plate) was set up for the Emperor and the Crown Princess.... Filled with delicacies from all over Adhira....
The Emperor came after finishing his royal duties to see Aria sneaking inside with her arms and legs lathered in mud... Green leaves and thin branches stuck in her hair.....
With her wooden bow which was carved by Emperor himself and at her side her pet lion which despite being a cat species loves to play in mud...
Abhra Dhruva Vastava(FL father)
Charulata...
Abhra called for his daughter who is sneaking inside like that to escape from bathing...
She stands still at the place like the prisoner has been finally caught...
Aria Charulata Vastava (FL)
Baba...
She proceeds to give her innocent eyes.... Only to get grabbed like a rice sack
Abhra Dhruva Vastava(FL father)
You need a good wash up young lady....
Aria Charulata Vastava (FL)
No... waaa... Put me down... I won't take a bath....
He signalled the workers assigned for Aria's pet lion, Canch....
And continued to carry the rice sack... I mean Aria to the bath area....
Abhra Dhruva Vastava(FL father)
Soak in the spring if you dare come out before 30 minutes then I will....
Aria Charulata Vastava (FL)
You will...
Abhra Dhruva Vastava(FL father)
Ask the royal chef you keep stir-fried bitter melon as the mandatory dish for every meal even for snacks....
Aria Charulata Vastava (FL)
( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀) am I even your real daughter ?
Abhra Dhruva Vastava(FL father)
Of course... that's why I know how to keep you in place... now sit quietly....
Royal bath area... Consists of a large spring where the water comes after bathing the divine lotus plant placed at deepest dungeon of the golden palace only accessible to the reigning royals and their beloved spouses to common folks and nobles it's only a tale....
This water has healing properties along with reverse aging Like Emperor still looks like a young fellow but is already in his early 50s with still that immense strength like a young man in his early 20s... Regular soaking in it ensures that same face even at the time of natural death due to age...
But sometimes this youth and beauty becomes curse.... Just like the King consort (FL paternal grandfather) who couldn't bear to lose the Reigning Empress as he refused to live without seeing her beautiful face.... He even took away her body and hid in the jungle, when found the corpse was merely a empty skeleton kept in a good condition.... And the Emperor had to end his own father cause of his constant refusal to perform the last rites
His condition was so bad that he even attacked his own son with his magical powers... He was a magician before being the King Consort
On the same day he had to burn the bodies of parents with the pray for their souls to be free and never take birth again...
This was the reason he refused get married for a long time until he meet that certain someone....
