Lakshman and Rameshwari along with their army and their priests were welcomed in the palace of Shripuram with proper honour and felicitation, befitting them.

Giving them seats in the courtroom, the king and queen of the kingdom were having a small talk with Soumitri and the Ram-Suta.

But more than the conversation, the daughter of Shri Ram was interested in looking at Mrunmaye, who was standing tall behind the seat of his mother, with his head high.

"Badi prasannata ho rahi hai hume, ki prithvi ab ek yogya shaashak ek andar hogi." Ratnakar Sagar said causing Lakshman to smile.

"Humne Rajkumari ke parakram, gun aur roop ke baare mei bahut suna tha. Aaj dekh bhi liya." Samriddhi devi said, "Badi chhoti thi yeh jab pichli baar dekha tha. Kintu hridaye mei tabse hi sthaan bana chuki hai." She smiled.

"Abhaar Maharani." Rameshwari smiled.

"Yadi Rajkumar Lakshman ki aagya ho, toh hum aapki bhatiji ko kuch samaye hetu apne saath le jana chaahte hai, Ranivaas mei, waha inhe uphaaro se prastut karne." Samriddhi devi requested, standing up.

"Awashya." Lakshman smiled.

"Padhariye Rajkumari." Samriddhi devi said.

Rameshwari stood up and went towards Samridhi devi, who lovingly intertwined her left arm with that of her right one, and both walked away with Mrunmaye following behind.

"Rajkumar Mrunmaye, aap kaha chale ?" Lakshman asked.

"Upahar maine hi toh chune hai." Mrunmaye said with a raised brow.

"Mera tatparya tha ki, aapse toh baat hi nahi huyi." Lakshman said narrowing his eyes, but maintaining the smile on his face.

"Karenge. Awashya karenge. Pehle aapki Rajkumari ko upahaar de aayu." Mrunmaye said with a small victorious smile and left.

"Bada chanchal putra hai aapka." Lakshman said to Ratnakar Sagar.

"Baalpan se hi." The king smiled.

-----

A host of apparels, jewelleries, ointments, perfumes, and what not were presented in front of Rameshwari, who was in the room of Samriddhi devi.

"Maharani, inn sab ki kya awashyakta thi ?" She asked.

"Le lijiye Rajkumari. Aapke liye hi hai." Mrunmaye said, who was leaning on a pillar, facing her with slightly tilted head.

"Rajkumari, Mrunmaye ne yeh sab swayam chuna hai aapke liye." Samriddhi devi said.

"Satya ?" Rameshwari asked, looking at Mrunmaye, who smiled a little.

"Ha. Ab Kosal ki Rajkumari hume itni priya jo hai. Hum sab ko itni priya hai. Jaanta hu yeh upahaar aapke samaksh kisi mulya ke nahi, kintu inhe aswikar kar mera hridaye na dukhayiye." He said.

Indeed his words were just as charming as his face, they too had the capability heating up her cheeks.

"Aapka hridaye dukhane ka dussahas mai kaise kar sakti hu ? Mujhe yeh bhet swikar hai." Rameshwari said with blushing cheeks.

"Ati-uttam." Mrunmaye smiled.

The maids who were being witness to this scene in front of them, looked at each other.

"Dekho toh kaise muskura rahe hai."

"Woh bhi ek Rajkumari ke liye."

"Kaha tha na, Rajkumar Mrunmaye keval Ayodhya-Kumari ke samaksh muskurate hai."

"Aisa kaho ki keval unke liye muskurate hai."

They whispered amongst themselves in surprise and delight, supressing their giggles.
