Chapter 39 - “A Strange Birth and a Beating Heart”

"What happened, Vaidya ji?!

Why are you so shocked?

Is everything alright?"

Prince Susim—

"Prince… he…"

"What?"

"Prince… he…

He is going to become a mother."

Hearing this, everyone falls silent for a moment, staring at each other in shock.

"Vaidya ji, there must be some mistake.

How is this even possible?!"

"Prince Susim, I don't know how it is possible,

but whatever I have said is completely true.

Kumar is going to become a mother."

"Alright, Vaidya ji, you may leave.

But keep this matter to yourself."

"Yes, Prince Susim."

After the healer leaves, Susim says to Kumar—

"Kumar, how did this happen?!"

"How would I know?

Whatever it is, it's right in front of you.

But what will happen to me now?"

"Don't worry, Kumar.

We will definitely find a solution."

The entire day passes in worry about Kumar's condition.

At night, Susim stays in Kumar's chamber.

Princess Ratri wants to go to Susim's chamber for her revenge.

At midnight, she gets the opportunity and goes there,

but Susim is not present.

So she goes to Kumar's chamber,

where both Kumar and Susim are present.

Once again, she tries to attack Susim.

But even this time, she is unable to harm him.

Instead, as she attacks, her energy flows through Susim

and enters into Kumar.

As the energy increases, Kumar's stomach begins to swell.

Seeing this, Ratri thinks—

"What is happening?!

Every time I try to attack Susim using my energy,

it passes through him and enters Kumar instead.

What is this?!"

Failing again, her anger increases even more.

This time, she stops using energy

and attacks Susim with a dagger.

The blow severs Susim's head from his body.

She takes it

and leaves Tuluv Lok for Subahu Lok.

Reaching Subahu Lok, she meets Subahu.

"Greetings, King Subahu."

"Maharani… you?"

"Yes.

The punishment you gave me—

I have completed half of it.

And the remaining half will be completed soon."

"I don't understand what you mean."

Ratri presents Susim's severed head—

"Here, my king—Prince Susim's head.

Your greatest enemy has been destroyed.

As for the gems of the Seven Realms,

I will obtain them soon as well."

Emotionally, she continues—

"My king… I deeply regret what happened that day.

But I never betrayed you or Subahu Lok.

Believe me, I had no idea that Susim would attack this realm.

If I had known he would take away my entire family,

I would have killed him myself at that very moment.

Yes, I accept that if I had tried harder,

perhaps my family would still be alive.

But everything happened so suddenly

that I had no time to think.

For this, whatever punishment you give me, I will accept.

If possible… please forgive me."

Hearing her words, Subahu's heart begins to soften.

His heartbeat quickens,

and tears appear in his eyes.

He cannot understand what is happening to him—

why her pain is affecting him so deeply.

As Ratri is about to leave,

Subahu holds her hand and stops her—

"Maharani, you have come to Subahu Lok after so long.

There is little time left before morning.

Please go to your chamber and rest.

We will talk in the morning."

"Yes, my king."

Subahu returns to his chamber

and keeps thinking about her words again and again.

"Sanjh is so pure…

her heart is so clean.

She trusts everything I say so easily.

Even being a demon,

I cannot ignore the truth in her heart.

Should I send her to conquer the Seven Realms?

No…

I will not put her life in danger anymore.

Whatever has to be done, I will do it myself.

I will absorb all her demonic energy

and become the most powerful demon,

and rule over all divine and demonic realms.

And I will keep Sanjh happy forever.

I will never let her suffer."

Morning arrives.

Princess Ratri is resting in her chamber

when Subahu enters and says—

"Maharani, I know I treated you very harshly.

Even though it was not your fault,

I punished you severely.

I didn't even think

that I was sending you into enemy realms,

all alone, without any guidance.

You don't even remember anything.

You are not even aware of your own powers,

nor do you know how to use them.

By the way… why are you wearing this mask?

Are you alright?"
