A new day, caught by Nightmare

After a long time, Emperor and Empress came back with the Golden Lotus. Lotus was very small, the size of a baby palm. But it has strong vitality and a total of 18 panels.

Empress placed the Lotus on Prince Asura's head. Golden lotus melted and entered into his head.

The golden colour lotus symbol came at his forehead and disappeared. Compare to its original size it was like just a dot. Even those who have high visual power can't say it is a golden lotus.

Empress Amaidhini said to Emperor with misty eyes, "I finished what you asked, majesty. One more thing, I didn't erase his memory to create a fake one. Instead, I just sealed it and gave him illusionary memory.

When his metal power reaches a realm, it will untie itself and find out what happened."

Emperor nodded his head and asked, "How long it will take?"

Empress Amaidhini said, "With his growth of knowledge, it will take five years least, but if he started learning any mental or spiritual technique or an illusion based technique two or three years."

Emperor replied, "Then, I will talk with him when the time comes."

Empress Amaidhini asked, "What about others?"

Emperor replied, "Even the story got complexed by Narumukizh, but it was not known to many. It is already in our control. Moreover, Asura doesn't change his attitude toward anyone even after knowing the truth. Thanks to his intelligence, it unknowingly becomes our favour. I think Narumukizh doesn't make any move after my warning, including her brother.

Since Asura's memory sealed, for now, it won't make much fuzz. Let's wait and see about the future. What surprised our prince brings to us. Make arrangements to move Prince Asura to his room."

Finishing his sentence, Emperor touched her cheeks with his hand and replied with a sweet smile, "I know you want to meet father. We will go together."

Somewhere In Pavillion garden, Emperor Pandiyan, his father and Empress Amaidhini.

Anyone can see moisture in Empress Amaidhini's eyes.

Old Emperor speaks slowly, "Don't worry Amaidhini. You have to take care of everyone after me. I can't trust this idiot."

Hearing the word "Idiot", the Emperor face twitch but didn't say anything.

Old Emperor looked at Empress Amaidhini and said with a sigh, "I knew you sacrificed many things, suffered many times but all I can do for you is make you as Empress and your son as in-name crown prince.

When he finished his training successfully, he will officially crown as the prince. And when the time comes, he will take decorates the throne as an Emperor."

By saying this, he looked at the Emperor like he is giving him an order.

'Ha, This old man doesn't even trust me a bit. Even though I like Asura more amongst my sons, how will I give the throne to him instead of Athikan? If I did, doesn't mean I am showing partiality as Emperor?', Emperor thought himself but didn't say it loudly. He knows he can't irritate his father, so he nodded his head.

Old Emperor changed the topic to ritual. He also got shocked, "Inborn soul ability!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Soon time passed, Prince Asura woke up in his room. He can feel a little bit of pain but don't know why he was somewhat mixed emotions. All he remembers after talking with his aunt, he came to his room to take a rest.

He closed his eyes and controlled his thoughts slowly, his head pain reduced.

He then slowly opened his eyes. His worst nightmare was standing in front of him.

Nightmare is only one to one-and-half meter height, wearing a green colour dress and skirt. Tree leaves and printed on it and holds a toy in its left hand and a stick in its right hand.

It was non-other than his only sister, not his only sister, also the only Princess of the Pandiyan Dynasty, Tukirā. She is only five years old.

Prince Asura suddenly thought what his elder brother told yesterday,

The Crown Prince Athikan said, "Ha, I almost forget, didn't you inform Tukirā when you left for your adventure?

She is mad at you. She even cried day and night. She even said if you didn't bring any gift as compensation, she said, she will not talk to you for years."

Hearing the Crown Prince Athikan, Prince Asura slapped his head, "How could I forgot to inform her. She is going to bite me to death."

Seeing his younger brother's action, Prince Athikan laughed at his misfortune and asked him, "Did you at least bring her any gift?"

"Of course, I brought her one, but you know her demands, I don't think it will meet her amends." Prince Asura replied.

"Well, That's your problem." Saying this, Prince Athikan stopped the topic because he knew if he helped his younger brother and if his sister finds out, he will also have to face her wrath.

Before he finishes recalling the event, a stick hits on his body continuously, Prince Asura starts shouting, "ahh... Stop. Tukirā, stop. I am sorry, I won't leave without telling you next time."

Suddenly, Princess Tukirā stopped hitting him and looked at him furiously. Prince Asura found that he said something which he could not say.

Before realizing what he said wrong again, the stick started hitting him even harder.

Cries echoed.
