Yes, Your Powers.
You are not only the Queen of Subahu Lok, but also the wielder of the demonic energy of the Demon God. Therefore, all demons are nothing more than servants before you.
Demon Nalish wishes to obtain demonic energy from you and become the master of demonic powers. That is why he deliberately took away your memory.
But if he intended to sacrifice me, then why did he have Prince Susim brought to Nalish Lok through me?
And for so long, when I was already in Nalish Lok, why did he not fulfill his desire?
Instead of returning my memory, why did he place the condition of bringing Prince Susim to Nalish Lok?
My Lord, I do not understand what I should do…
Whom should I trust and whom should I not?
Sanjh, I know that you are facing extremely difficult circumstances.
For you, trusting anyone is not easy.
I will teach you some mantras. By using them, you will be able to use your powers. After that, you should go to Nalish Lok and learn the truth directly from Nalish.
Prince Subahu teaches Princess Ratri some mantras at night and also explains how to use them.
Meanwhile, in Nalish Lok, Demon Nalish is waiting for a message from his friend Subahu. At that moment, the Demon Guru arrives and says anxiously—
"My Lord, my Lord… Subahu…"
"What happened, Gurudev?
Has any message come from my friend Subahu?"
"No, my Lord.
No message has come. Instead, during the ritual, I realized the deception done by him."
"Deception?!"
"Yes, my Lord.
Subahu has used demonic energy through Sanjh.
Do you understand what that means?"
"No… that cannot be true.
Subahu cannot betray me like this."
"My Lord, we are demons. Why do you search for divine qualities in us?
The desire for power and energy is the greatest weakness of demons.
How can Subahu let go of the demonic energy of the Demon God that has come into his hands?"
"My Lord, I do not know what Subahu has done with Sanjh or how he used her demonic energy, but I am certain he is plotting something against you.
Before he creates any danger for us, we must act."
After thinking for a while, Demon Nalish says—
"You are right, Gurudev.
We should go to Subahu Lok immediately."
Just as they are about to leave, a messenger from Subahu Lok arrives with a message.
"Greetings, Lord Nalish.
Lord Subahu has sent a message for you."
Nalish reads the message, which says—
"Friend Nalish,
The help you asked for has been completed. Now come to Subahu Lok and take back what belongs to you."
After reading it—
"This is strange. I thought Subahu was deceiving me, but here he himself is inviting me and informing that the task is complete."
"I am also surprised, my Lord, but…"
"I think Subahu must have used the demonic energy for some other reason.
He would not be foolish enough to betray me."
"You may be right, my Lord.
Let us go to Subahu Lok."
Both leave for Subahu Lok.
Princess Ratri, after learning the mantras, arrives in Nalish Lok, where Subahu has sent impostors disguised as Demon Nalish and the Demon Guru.
Believing them to be the real ones, she approaches them and says—
"Greetings, Lord Nalish and Demon Guru.
You had assigned me the task of bringing Prince Susim from Tuluv Lok to Nalish Lok. I have completed it.
Now, as promised, return my memory."
The impostors reply—
"Forgive us, Sanjh, but we cannot return your memory right now."
"Why?"
"For that, we must complete a ritual. Only then can we restore your memory."
Subahu had already warned her about such a possibility, so gradually Princess Ratri's trust in him grows stronger.
"Very well. Then begin the ritual immediately."
"As you wish, Sanjh."
They begin preparing for the ritual, following exactly the plan Subahu had instructed them to perform before her.
By evening, the ritual begins in a large field. Loud chants fill the air.
"Come, Sanjh, offer the oblation."
As Princess Ratri steps forward and is about to offer the oblation, the fake Nalish suddenly pretends to strike her neck with a sword.
But she was already alert. She grabs his hand, throws him away from the altar, and using her demonic energy, binds both of them.
With anger blazing in her eyes, she says—
"So, you only used me?"
"If you do not return my memory now, I will burn both of you right here."
They pretend to panic and reply—
"Forgive us, Maharani, but we cannot restore your memory.
We thought that by sacrificing you, we would become the masters of your entire demonic energy."
"Maharani?!"
"Yes.
You are the Queen of Subahu Lok and the consort of Demon Subahu.
You possess an immense flow of demonic energy.
We erased your memory thinking we could defeat you easily and obtain your energy without difficulty.
Why did you send me to Tuluv Lok?
Why did you call Prince Susim to Nalish Lok?
And where is he now?
If you wish to stay alive, tell me everything in detail. Every single thing."
"Yes, Maharani…" (they say in a trembling voice)
