Chapter 27 - “Sword at the Demon’s Throat”

"What is that over there?"

Prince Susim sees something at a little distance.

To find out, he walks toward it.

When he reaches there, he finds a man tied up.

"Who are you?"

Saying this—

"You!!!

Who are you, and how did you enter Talkal Lok?"

"I am the prince of Tuluv Lok, Prince Susim. Now tell me, who are you?"

"Prince, I am the king of Talkal Lok."

"What!! You are the king of Talkal Lok!?

Then who was that?"

"Who are you talking about?"

Prince Susim frees the king of Talkal Lok and tells him everything that happened.

"Prince Susim, it seems Nalish has deceived you. My sister's name is not Saanjh, but Princess Tula.

I don't know where she is now or in what condition.

I never promised to marry my sister to that demon. He wanted to marry Tula, but when I refused, he made all the people of my Lok disappear somewhere. However, my sister Tula managed to escape and till today she has not fallen into his hands.

Because of this, demon Nalish comes here again and again to vent his anger and torture me."

"Then who was my Saanjh? And why did she say all that to me?"

"Prince, it is possible that your Saanjh is also in trouble, and demon Nalish forced her to do all this.

To know the truth, you should go to Nalish Lok."

"You are right, Maharaj. But I cannot leave you in this condition.

Before going to Nalish Lok, I will take you to Tuluv Lok.

Until I free your Lok from Nalish's influence, you will stay in Tuluv Lok as my guest."

"Thank you very much, Prince."

"There is no need for thanks. Let's go."

Prince Susim leaves the king of Talkal Lok in Tuluv Lok and then reaches Nalish Lok.

Here, all the plans of demon Nalish were succeeding one by one.

Nalish knew every step of the prince because this entire plan was his.

"What a thing, demon Nalish! Prince Susim himself is coming to Nalish Lok willingly."

Nalish laughs—

"Guru, once demon Nalish sets his evil eyes on someone, even the demon gods cannot protect that person.

Now you will see, Prince Susim himself will willingly surrender his energy to me."

"You are right, demon Nalish."

Prince Susim is greatly surprised by the behavior and conduct of Nalish Lok because demon Nalish himself is standing there to welcome him.

"Welcome, Prince Susim, to Nalish Lok."

Prince Susim remains silent and observes everything.

"What happened? Why are you so surprised?

How did you find my Lok?

You must be tired after such a long journey. Come, let's go to the palace."

"Where is Saanjh, Nalish?"

"You will meet her.

First, accept my hospitality."

Prince Susim, getting angry—

"I have come here to take my Saanjh.

It would be better if you return her to me safely.

Otherwise…"

"Otherwise what, Prince Susim?

Do you think you can insult me in my own Lok and still remain safe?

Perhaps you have forgotten my attack on Tuluv Lok.

I am demon Nalish, and you don't even have the strength to stand before me.

I am surprised to see that you came here without any protection, without any army.

Either your courage is limitless, or your foolishness is."

Hearing this, everyone present starts laughing loudly and mocking Prince Susim.

"Nalish, I have not come here to fight you. I have come to take my Saanjh.

But if you desire war, then I am fully prepared for it.

If you have courage, come to the battlefield."

Nalish's soldiers move forward to attack Prince Susim.

Prince Susim draws his sword and defeats them all within moments.

"What! How does this mere prince have such power?"

In no time, Prince Susim places his sword on Nalish's neck.

At that moment, the demon guru shouts—

"Stop, Prince Susim! Otherwise your Saanjh will be beheaded, and you will do nothing but regret it!"

"Saanjh!!!"

"Yes, your Saanjh.

She is in my captivity. So lower your sword, or else…"

Prince Susim lowers his sword.

The demon guru whispers in Nalish's ear—

"Demon Nalish, Prince Susim possesses the energy of divine light. That is why we cannot defeat him.

Right now, he has the power to destroy the entire Nalish Lok. If we use force, everything will be destroyed within moments.

Control your anger and use strategy."

"Yes."

"Prince Susim, listen, I have no enmity with you. Nor do I wish to harm your Saanjh.

I only want to perform a small ritual, for which I need a truthful man—a Satya-purush—who can help complete this ritual.

But as you know, I am a demon, and so is my entire people. That is why none of us are capable of performing this ritual.

A Satya-purush could only be found in the Sapta Lok, but Takshak Lok has conquered all the Lokas and taken control over them.

And finding a Satya-purush in Takshak Lok is like searching for water in sand.

So, to bring you here, I hypnotized your Saanjh and used her."
