Dharma Of The Fallen Queen
Ep 4
King Somdratha Saumarethi, stood near a carved stone balustrade. His regal robes of ivory and gold fluttered lightly in the breeze as he surveyed the palace courtyard where preparations for the royal guest’s arrival were in full swing.
One minister, an older man with a thin gray beard, stepped forward.
Minister
Your Majesty, Princess Vyanika has not left her chamber in two days. Forgive me for saying this, but… is something wrong?
Somdratha Saumarethi ( FL father)
*sighing* She’s always been stubborn. Ever since childhood, she’s done only what pleases her.
Minister
*nervous* Today, the King of Dravansha arrives. If Princess Vyanika continues this behavior, and His Majesty senses she’s unprepared for this alliance… it could risk more than just pride.
The king glanced toward the eastern wing of the palace, where his daughter’s chambers lay. The intricate jharokhas (stone lattice windows) were silent.
Somdratha Saumarethi ( FL father)
*firmly* You are right. I will speak to her myself.
He gestured to a servant nearby.
Somdratha Saumarethi ( FL father)
Send word to the Princess. Tell her I wish to meet her in the garden.
Sunlight poured like honey through sheer silks draped across arched windows. The scent of sandalwood and rose water lingered in the air. Crystal bowls of fruit, golden hair combs, silk cushions, and jewelry trays were scattered across the room — the luxury of ancient Agryavrat on full display.
And in the middle of it all, Princess Vyanika — or rather, Priya — lay sprawled on a bed fit for a goddess.
In her dreams, she grinned.
Vyanika saumarethi ( FL)
All this gold is mine... I’m rich...
A knock echoed on the carved wooden door.
Charulata ( FL personal maid)
Princess?
Charulata ( FL personal maid)
*Called a soft, nervous voice. *“Princess, are you awake?”
The door creaked open. A girl with deep brown eyes and long braid laced with pearls stepped in. She wore a violet lehenga with a silver belt. This was Charulata, Vyanika’s personal maid and confidante.
Charulata ( FL personal maid)
Princess?! Are you well?!
Still no answer. She rushed to the bed and leaned close.
Charulata ( FL personal maid)
Princess, please wake up!
She hesitated—then, desperate, shouted directly into her ear.
Charulata ( FL personal maid)
Princess
Vyanika saumarethi ( FL)
*shooting up*“Ah! What happened?!”
She looked around, dazed, then blinked at Charulata’s face.
Vyanika saumarethi ( FL)
*still half-asleep* Whoa… a fairy?
Charulata ( FL personal maid)
*confused* Fairy? Princess, what are you saying?wake up!
Vyanika blinked again and stretched.
Vyanika saumarethi ( FL)
What happened? Why are you waking me up like the world’s ending? *rubbing her eyes*
Charulata ( FL personal maid)
*bowing slightly* Forgive me, Princess. You didn’t answer my knock. I was… worried.
Vyanika saumarethi ( FL)
*yawning dramatically* I usually don’t forgive people who ruin my sleep. But I make exceptions for pretty girls. So don’t worry.
Charulata ( FL personal maid)
*blushing* Th-thank you, Princess.
Vyanika saumarethi ( FL)
*grinning* Now tell me, why are you shouting? Early morning.
Charulata ( FL personal maid)
His Majesty, your father, wishes to meet you in the garden.
Vyanika saumarethi ( FL)
*groaning* ahh now what this old man wants.?
Charulata ( FL personal maid)
*playing with her fingers* i don't know but he is looking serious. (why princess calling her father old man)
Vyanika saumarethi ( FL)
* annoying* okay first i will take a bath.
Vyanika saumarethi ( FL)
it's sweating all night there are no 'air conditioners.'
Charulata ( FL personal maid)
* curious* what is the air conditioner .
Vyanika saumarethi ( FL)
Nothing *muttered* how can I explain to you .
Bathing Chamber of a Princess
The bathing chamber resembled a temple to beauty. Ivory pillars circled a sunken pool of scented water, lined with polished granite. Flower petals floated on the surface—rose, jasmine, marigold—and brass bowls overflowed with herbal oils and pastes.
Sunlight filtered through carved stone windows shaped like blooming lotuses, casting warm floral shadows on the walls.
Vyanika saumarethi ( FL)
*stepping in* If the bathrooms looked like this in my world, then I’d never avoid taking a bath.
She slipped into the water, sighing in bliss. The petals clung to her skin as the warm water embraced her.
Charulata ( FL personal maid)
Princess, may I assist you?
Vyanika saumarethi ( FL)
*startled* No! I-I can manage. Please wait outside
Charulata nodded and gently shut the curtain.
Outside, she placed a hand on her chest, still confused
Charulata ( FL personal maid)
*murmuring* She’s behaving... strangely. Maybe it’s nerves. The marriage must be on her mind
