The palace

Hassan drove the cart all along, finally at night they reached the Iravati city, "Wake up wake up lady Rags we have arrived the destination". Ragini who was already awake

said " Drive towards North and take me to the palace, there you will be rewarded handsomely". " Wait lady, to the palace?? are you some important elite that you live in the palace??your father was a business man you said". "I will answer your questions later, kindly take me to palace in the north as fast as you can else there will be trouble"

Hassan drove the horse cart as fast as she can to the north. She knew Rags lady or whoever they both are, are some important elites who live in the palace, of course kidnappers won't kidnap some maiden. After driving almost ten miles the cart made a sudden screech and came to halt. "Palace have arrived Rags lady". Ragini jumped out of the cart and the took Karm in her arms and said, "Come with me to the palace, you saved me and my brother, you deserve to be rewarded." "No need lady, it's my duty to help out a lady and a child, i don't need any reward for that..." "Princess Prince you have came back, princess Ragini and prince Karm have arrived back to the palace listen every one..!!! ",shouted the guards standing at the palace gate. " So Princess Ragini you are, you lied me your identity ", shouted Hassan.

" I am sorry, I had to, please don't misunderstand", pleaded Ragini. " Bow to the princess and the prince of Iravati", saying so Hassan kneeled down on the feet of Ragini. Soon guards maidens came running to them. " Get up Hassan, you have to come to the palace", said Ragini in a gracious voice. "Forgive me princess I don't want any reward", said Hassan. "Look at the man's guts, how dare you refuse the princess", screamed a maiden. " Yes you have to obey the order of a princess Hassan, follow me", said Ragini and started walking graciously like her palacely way.

Hasini started following her, the maids then followed Hassan in a line, the guards guarding the princess on both sides,karm being on the lap of a maiden. Being Hasini's first time entering the palace gates felt like a dream for her, she was surprised by the beauty of the palace garden. All beautifully shaped trees were lighted decoratively, the pavement was laid out with white stones and lighted on the two sides. "Come walk by my side Hassan", said Ragini sweetly. Hassan had now no means of defying a princess, She quietly came to her side and started walking by the princess rhythm
