"Come soon or we will miss this chance," Sumitra said while walking towards Rani's place. Kayanangai followed her slowly as she's not at all interested to go there. Rani has summoned a sorceress, who's famous in the town nowadays. They heard her specialty was predicting the future accurately so Rani wanted to know what her son's future will be and about her husband's health. Ever since Aathiyan became the Raja, his father's health kept deteriorating.

29. Aathiyan opened his eyes from the small nap he had taken after the long day of travel. He had a dream, more like a visual where he's with Kayanangai, she's holding his hand and smiling at him. In her presence, he felt peaceful and when she suddenly disappeared from his sight, he became agitated and there his sleep was disturbed. He's still in disbelief that Kayanangai lied to him. He saw her talking to Veera, then she needed to say she was alone in the garden. Maybe it's because of you, his mind hinted. That's true, he always warned her to never go near him so she must have felt afraid to say the truth. He's failing somewhere, she's going away from him, and if he doesn't stop that happening he's afraid to lose her love.

They have given their horses to the merchant who showed the route to reach the Siddhar and assured them that he'll keep it safe until they return.Munching the grapes, Narenthiran walked looking at the uneven path. Aathiyan's eyes were everywhere and he had his dagger close in case an animal intruded on their path."How are we going to find the man who lives in this jungle? Look it's too huge, Aathiya, you should reconsider this," Narenthiran is on the verge of giving up. He's so frustrated with hours of walking and still has no clue regarding that man. He's losing his patience and Aathiyan can understand that.The merchant said to Aathiyan that he will find a

For the last few days, she kept thinking a lot about him and starts to miss him so badly because of an incident that happened yesterday.She kept doing this and she didn't feel bored at all because while waiting, she can only think about him, and dwelling in his thoughts is kind of bliss.Even Though she's upset with him, she also sees the situation he is in. His father is sick, his mother is good for nothing, his brother is trying to pull his legs so that he can watch him fall and these demanding and cunning ministers are so critical about his small mistakes.

Aathiyan walked to the courthouse recalling the smile on Veera's face and the disgust on Kayanangai's face. He frowned and wanted to punch Veera as hard as he could."Aathiya," his mother's voice stopped him.She came near him and after taking a look around she asked, "Is there anything you are not telling me?" she asks."I told you everything, mother. But you are hiding so many things from me," "What did I hide from you?""I don't want to talk about this now," he said because there are a lot more important issues than this. And if he digs this, he's afraid to face the truth about his family."I hope your journey was sa

Aathiyan watched Nilakaran praying and he waited until he finished. He's here to discuss when and how he's going to perform the ritual to bring his father back to normal. He still has no faith in this ritual but this is the last option he got and he wants this to happen perfectly."Thanks for waiting," Nilakaran said."That's okay.

Aathiyan questions.

He started chanting spells sitting inside the circle drawn out of oil lamps.As his voice intensified, the blood started to burn and black smoke evaded from it. The smell that came from it was unbearable to sniff,Aathiyan and Narenthiran are standing outside the room, watching it through the window.He never saw something like that before.

35. Nilakaran gathered all the details that he heard from the people who had last seen and interacted with Ganthika. The more he listened to them, the more he became fascinated by her predictions which came true most of the time. And she hasn't talked much about herself or even uttered her name to anyone other than Kayanangai and that made him even more curious. The witch is so good at hiding and it took him five days to track her. According to an old man's account who's living nearby the forest -he saw Ganthika heading towards the sacred forest, where the locals fear to step inside.
