Meanwhile…
"Lord, there is a message from lady Miththa. Can I come in? "A voice asked from a man in room.
"Yes , come in " an exited voice of young man sounded from room and a man came inside of room after hearing the permission of person in inside. After that man gave message to young man in room and young man started to read message while sitting on a cloth mat in room.
"Oh! This is really interesting. Is this news true? "The young man asked.
"My lord. Before leaving the mansion lady said to me that this news is definitely true." Man replied.
"If cousin has such confidence about this then it should be true. You go and tell I will take care of this" the young man said happily and the man left the room. After some time young man left the room and went inside another spacious room.
The young man entered the room while saying, "Father …father… I have a piece of wonderful news ". Inside the room, there was a middle age man who was sitting on a cloth mat and the man looked at the youngster with calm eyes. This man was the local ruler of Kalaa County called Mahaanama. His son Anjana was a cousin of nobleman Siriwadunna in Moravapi town.
"What is this?" lord Mahanama asked.
"Cousin Miththa sent a message to me a moment ago. It said she know the place the missing princess living. "Anjana said excited tone.
"Oh! Is that true? Then it is fortunate of us. Is she said where that girl lives in?" Lord Mahanama asked in an interesting tone.
"Father it is said she hides in master Migara's house in Kalamalgama" the young man said.
"Master Migara? How could he connect with the previous king? Isn't that the man Miththa girl is interested in? "lord Mahanama asked with a shocked expression.
"Indeed father, it is. " Anjana said in a sour tone and lord Mahanama looked at the expression of his son. Anjana always liked his cousin and had an ambition of marrying her from childhood. But unfortunately his cousin, Miththa fell in love with a talented man called Master Migara. So he was much angrier about this man and always thought to give some lesson to master Migara.
"Son, this is our chance. Previously I never give any help to rebel army. But previous king never gave any profit for us and always keep guard against us. Now it is even better. Whether king never said or do to us we have loss the way to get any profit. So if we can handover princess and punish royal traitor through us we may have a chance to get the king's favor. "Lord Mahanama said mild tone.
"Okay. Then I can teach a lesson to that man. Father let me go to take princess "Anjana said evilly.
"Right. You go and check if this is true or false first. If it is true take the princess and apprehend that traitor quickly "lord Mahanama said and Anjana left the room while nodding to his father.

"Chief, may I ask what this rumor is?"Migara asked in calm manner.
"See this! This man really knows how to act. Now we can see the real face of this man "a woman said with an angry expression and other villagers also agreed on it while nodding their heads. After that several people started to say angry words and made sarcastic expressions to Migara, but he heard and indifferently viewed all those things.
"Stop…stop…all you stop. If the master has no idea about this I am telling you now. Master, do you take a girl from the capital recently?" the village chief asked from Migara.
"Yes, chief "Migara replied calmly.
