Vikram looked at him confused and he clapped his hands, signalling someone to bring a surprise for Vikram.
As Vikram's eyes fell on two men dragging an old man inside the room who was unconscious and threw him infront of him, Vikram's heart skipped a beat and fear rose inside him. He became restless and started shouting.
"Cabail!!" He looked up at that man with anger filled in his blood shot eyes and asked "What you did to him?! Just free my hands and we will see who will regret." He again looked at Cabail and said "Cabail! Wake up! What happened to you?!"
The man scoffed and shook his head to see Vikram's stubbornness. "I am giving you one more chance. A stubborn and courageous man like you should be in my team. Working under me. Think again. At least for your partner." With that he left from there. The other man also ran after him and they closed the door of the room, leaving Vikram and Cabail in that dark room while Vikram was keep on calling Cabail's name to wake him up.
Dhishva returned to the palace around lunchtime and gave the powder to Shreyansh to add in Viraaj's food. But Viraaj refused to eat the food as he wasn't feeling hungry. Before Shreyansh can pursue Viraaj to eat it, Ira entered in the chamber with a Bowl of porridge in tray.
"You go. I will feed him." She said and placed the trey on the bed.
Viraaj smiled to see his granddaughter again bringing food for him when he is sick how she did in Jwalana.
"But your highne-" Shreyansh tried to protest but Ira cut him off with a hard glare as this servant is too bold to repeat the same mistake again that too infront of a royal family member.
"Can't you listen at once? I said leave." She pointed toward the door.
Shreyansh clenched his fist in anger and started to walk towards the door. But before he can step out, Ira said. "Take that food with you."
He turned around and went to grab the plate of food he brought.
"And never dare to talk back to any royal family member again. Specially my husband." She said with a death glare as she remembered how this servant dared to talk back to her husband who is a king.
Shreyansh nod and quietly left from there. Ira sighed deeply and said "I don't like him." She looked at Viraaj with a unpleasant look and asked "Who assigned him to take care of you?"
"Your father." Viraaj replied with a slight chuckle and Ira rolled her eyes.
"As expected." She said and forwarded the spoon filled with porridge towards Viraaj's mouth. He tried to refuse it but her angry yet pleading eyes made him surrender and eat a little.
While his granddaughter was feeding him with love and care, Viraaj remembered someone who used to feed him with same love and care before Shreyansh came.
"You know what? There is a young man working in our palace. Before Shreyansh, he used to take care of me." Viraaj said.
Ira looked at him confused and asked "Then where is he? And why this idiot is on his place?"
Viraaj laughed to hear Ira trying to went out her anger of the Shreyansh as calmly as she can and replied "He is still in palace but.... your father and brother....forbade him and his brother from....entering in my chamber." The disappointment was seen on his face and Ira's confusion grew even more.
"Why? He was taking care of you and you seem to like him, then why they did that?"
Viraaj sighed deeply and replied "Your brother don't like him.....so he must have asked your father to keep them.....away from me as I always protect them from him."
"What can you expect from brother? Always hiding behind father. And he want to become a king." Ira chuckled sarcastically thinking how coward her brother is that he need his father to even deal with a servant.
"Do you want to meet them?" Viraaj asked and Ira can see the excitement in his eyes.
She smiled at him to see his excitement and nod.
Viraaj smiled widely and tried to call Ajit who was guarding outside his chamber but his voice came low so Ira had to call him.
"Ajit!" She called. She know him from a long time because she always used to come to meet her grandfather in his chamber and see Ajit standing outside.
Ajit entered inside the chamber and asked "Yes your highness? Do you want something?"
"Summon Ankush and Agastya. But don't let anyone know about it." Viraaj said.
Ajit chuckled to see the smile on his majesty's face after a long time and nod "Ok. I will summon them right away." He then left the chamber and Ira asked.
"You seem to like them a lot. More than me?"
Viraaj laughed through the pain to see her jealousy "Of course not.....You are my precious granddaughter. How am I suppose to like....someone more than you? It's just, when you weren't here.....they took good care of me. Agastya used to pay attention on my every action and is very stubborn when it comes to my safety and health. Ankush used to stay with me all the time. doesn't matter how much work he have, he would find time to see me after every one or two hours. Agastya won't leave my chamber until I finish my food and eat my medicine. They always remind me of you. Specially Ankush. He is very close to me just like you."
Ira's eyebrows raised in wonder and she said "Now I really want to meet them."
As Ankush heard that Viraaj had asked them to come to meet him, he rushed towards his chamber, Agastya following him from behind, smiling to see his excitement.
"Are you sure he is 21? He acts like 12." Ajit asked to Agastya who laughed on his question and nod like a proud brother.
Ankush was about to step inside Viraaj's chamber but immediately stopped after seeing Ira. He thought just like her father, she won't like him entering in Viraaj's chamber. So he just stood there and greeted her.
Agastya came and stood beside Ankush and greeted them.
"You called us your majesty?" He asked.
Viraaj nod and gestured them to come inside "Come."
They went inside and Ajit stood at the door, again guarding outside Viraaj's chamber.
"Ira, he is Ankush. And as you know, he is Agastya." Viraaj introduced.
Ira looked at them and smiled.
"Greetings your highness. Nice to meet you again." Agastya said.
