Chapter - 45 A new headache
The entourage left the Grishma Bhavana and reached Naksha's place. She was expecting Tanisi and was elated at the sight of the woman.
Tanisi laughed seeing an excited Naksha and before Naksha could say anything, Tanisi suddenly screamed, "Careful you are pregnant!". All the people around Tanisi laughed and Naksha turned crimson.
As soon as she got close to Tanisi she pinched her hard and said, "You embarassed me!"
Tanisi said matter-of-factly: "Its better to embarass you than to keep quiet and watch you jumping up and down..."
Naksha smiled seeing concern in her eyes. She had only three more months before delivery.
Vishwa and Prapta were busy with some serious discussion. Prapta appeared concerned. Vishwa summoned Naksha and Tanisi.
By that time Prapta had already told Naksha about the spies killed by Samudra. Vishwa requested the ladies to remain low-key. He was afraid that the news of Tanisi being here would spread around endangering her a

Tanisi was always busy. Bhavabhoothi wasn't able to talk to her at all. She was either with Naksha or she was in her hut. He was getting frustrated day by day. Padma let him suffer for few days. Then she found him sitting next to the river on its banks one day. She deliberately went to him and said, "Oh you are lost in your thoughts? Would you mind if I sit here?"Bhavaboothi was delighted to see her. He immediately nodded to her and asked "How have you been lately? I hardly see you.."Padma: "I came here to help. You think I would have lots of free time at my hand?"Bhavabhooti had to agree with her. She deliberately wanted to act dumb in front of him. She found him repulsive as he seemed to think that all women are dumb and its easy to fool them. She intented to use him to the hilt before revealing how cunning women can be.Padma: "By the way, when I came you used to ask me so many things about the capital and the happenings at the palace isn't it? Why
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 47 Unexpected guest
The bands of people who had left returned slowly. Tanisi's act of bravery was spreading amongst them like wildfire. Padma was angry at things taking a turn like this.Bhavabhooti's band came in at last. She found him and told of what she had heard of. Bhavabhooti was shocked. Unable to accept that a woman could do this, he came out with another explanation. He told Padma this must be a decoy to gain respect of people here. How can a woman like her can kill so many men. Having trained in warfare less than an year it was impossible for her to be so good. Since none knew of the exclusive training she had got from the Emperor and having never seen her fight before, slowly this news gained momentum.Those who were jealous of Tanisi wilfully ignored the fact that Naksha who was a trained warrior herself was witness to all this. They instead chose to believe this new explanation where Tanisi was to be blamed not celebrated. Tanisi was unaffected by the praise or the brickbats
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 48 The Lunch...
Samudra washed his feet, hands and face and sat for lunch. The delicious aroma from the food had kindled his appetite. Along with the food his eyes could also feast on Tanisi. He had longed for her like mad. He knew that according to what Acharya had told him, it was still a long way before he could marry Tanisi. And knowing Tanisi, he couldn't make a move on her unless he married her. She for some unknown reasons refused to believe in the longetivity of their relationship. He knew she would let her guard down only if he showed her that he is committed and serious about her. This he could do, only by getting married to her. But then how to marry her if she doesn't believe him. His mind was always thinking of a way out of this cycle whenever he was free.Samudra: "What happened to you? You stood dazed at the door.. What if it was someone else who came in?"Tanisi: "What if it was someone else? They would have called my name or at the worse could have kissed me just the

After lunch Tanisi came to the place where Samudra was sitting.Tanisi: "Your Highness, do you need anything?"Samudra: "No Tanisi, I am good. Please have a seat. I need to talk to you".Tanisi nodded and sat down in front of him waiting for him to speak.Samudra sighed and began, "Tanisi, you asked me about this injury. It happened while fending off an attack which took place at Grishma Bhavana during my return journey". Tanisi was shocked. She looked at him not knowing how to react while he continued.Samudra: "Vishwa's intuition to take you away from there was indeed a very good move. It would have been very dangerous for you there. Soon after you left an old man joined the kitchens as a help to the royal cook. The enemy had his granddaughter as hostage thereby forcing him to act as an informer. Since he joined the palace after your departure he thought the decoy, a well dressed woman was the one the enemy was looking for. I reached the Palace h
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 50 The Traitor amongst
Soon Prapta dug information out from the woman and got to know that Manorama was actually a Kaingitya spy and she had informed them about Tanisi's whereabouts. She had spoken to Padma and found out the person they were looking for was Tanisi. Manorama was captured. She was already old but to ensure that the identity of Tanisi remains hidden, Samudra ordered her to be lodged in the solitary dungeon. This information was kept under wraps. People outside only got to know that there was a traitor amongst them and that she had been the reason for the attacks that happened. Meanwhile, Tanisi was near the river washing clothes when Bhavabhooti came to her. He knelt down beside her and initiated a conversation. Tanisi knew of his interest in her. She didn't respond to his queries and gave short, ambiguous answers. Seeing that she wasn't willing to talk to him, Bhavabhooti tried another tactic to make her speak. Bhavabhooti: "Why are you so cold towards us? You only p

Samudra summoned Prapta and Vishwa. He wanted to know why they wanted Tanisi dead. The woman who attacked her with dagger wanted to kill her. Prapta wanted to find the reason out. Unfortunately neither the woman nor Manorama knew why they had to kill Tanisi. They were just ordered to eliminate her.Samudra frowned, he turned to Vishwa and gave voice to his doubts, "Vishwa, is it possible that the Kaingityas know the woman rescued from the hands of their Prince Chuda was Tanisi? Or do they think she is someone else?"Vishwa: "Your Highness anything is possible."Samudra: "It doesn't explain the message. Do they know she is someone I am interested in? Is that the reason they want Tanisi dead? Doesn't it make sense for them to capture her and then use her as ransom?"Prapta: "My Lord, could it be both? I mean they know you Love her and they also know that Chuda intended to kill her that day. If you cannot protect her, you would be dejected for losing your wo
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 52 The D Day
After finishing dinner Samudra lazily sat down. Tanisi sat down to have her dinner. Samudra kept staring at her. Tanisi wasn't noticing Samudra. The scene of Samudra playing with Vishwa's daughter was rerunning in Tanisi's mind. She smiled remembering him spoiling her. Samudra too smiled seeing her. Suddenly she choked on her food and started coughing. Samudra immediately went to the kitchen and got her a tumbler of water.Samudra: "Where were you lost? You even forgot to chew food and breathe? What were you smiling at?"Tanisi: "Nothing my Lord. Was remembering Pragati's baby. She is adorable.." Tanisi gushed.Samudra: "The way you looked at the child made me jealous of her."Tanisi was surprised to hear this. Was he admitting it so openly?Samudra: "I do so much to get your attention. All the baby had to do was get into your arms.. Or may be I too should try that.."Tanisi blushed furiously. Unable to face him she looked away. Tani
