“Kunwar-sa,” Suddenly, an attendant entered the chamber, and as soon as she spotted me, her eyes widened slightly in shock.
I immediately turned to look at him.“Kunwar-sa, Nandani said it’s kind of urgent.”
He looked confused and nodded.“Okay, let her know I’m on my way,” he said, and I hurried past the attendant, eager to jump into the well and assess the groundwater depth.

12. Agastya
She left the chamber, and I looked at the attendant, waiting for her to explain why she had arrived.
“Kunwar-sa,” she said slowly, causing me to furrow my brows.
“Yes?” I asked.
She gulped, glancing at me before speaking in a low voice,“Princess Rashmika wants to meet you.”
Acknowledging her words, I nodded and replied,“Alright, I need to freshen up. Please call her over for lunch.”
She nodded and licked her lips slightly, and I rolled my eyes, unable to believe what was happening in my life.
I ignored her and tried to walk toward the bathroom, but she collapsed before me.
My eyes widened in shock as she cried out, looking at me, yet I continued to walk into the bathroom, ignoring her.
Seriously?
After bathing and getting ready in a white kurta and dhoti, I went to my guest chamber, waiting for lunch. After some time, I heard the announcement of Rashmika’s arrival and stood to welcome her.
I saw her enter with a few of her attendants, all dressed in pink with dupattas on their heads.
“Greetings, Prince Agastya,” she said warmly.
“Welcome to Suryagarh,” I walked forward and took a seat across from her on the couch.
“How’s everything? Was your journey comfortable?” I asked, and she smiled, nodding.
“Of course, why wouldn’t it be?” she said, gesturing for her attendant to place a plate on the table.“This is for you,” she said.
I furrowed my brows slightly.“What is it?”
She let out a small giggle.“Something that you will enjoy,”
I blinked before lifting the cloth off the plate. My brows creased in confusion as I looked at the long, black object. It seemed to be made of iron, with a long tube about two feet long attached to a thick handle.
“What is this?” I asked, holding it in my hand. It was heavier than any regular sword and spear.
“It’s called a gun,” she said with a smile, and I didn’t know, but suddenly a suspicious thought crossed my mind.
“What does this do?” I asked, my voice filled with curiosity.
“It kills,”
After a brief silence, I rose.
“How?” I inquired.
She turned to look behind, and I glanced at the head commander, stepping forward. He took the gun from me and aimed it at a tree. I saw him pull a handle, and a blast occurred, causing him to step back. The next thing I noticed was an apple falling from the tree.
