Chapter - 48 The Lunch...
Samudra washed his feet, hands and face and sat for lunch. The delicious aroma from the food had kindled his appetite. Along with the food his eyes could also feast on Tanisi. He had longed for her like mad. He knew that according to what Acharya had told him, it was still a long way before he could marry Tanisi. And knowing Tanisi, he couldn't make a move on her unless he married her. She for some unknown reasons refused to believe in the longetivity of their relationship. He knew she would let her guard down only if he showed her that he is committed and serious about her. This he could do, only by getting married to her. But then how to marry her if she doesn't believe him. His mind was always thinking of a way out of this cycle whenever he was free.
Samudra: "What happened to you? You stood dazed at the door.. What if it was someone else who came in?"
Tanisi: "What if it was someone else? They would have called my name or at the worse could have kissed me just the

After lunch Tanisi came to the place where Samudra was sitting.Tanisi: "Your Highness, do you need anything?"Samudra: "No Tanisi, I am good. Please have a seat. I need to talk to you".Tanisi nodded and sat down in front of him waiting for him to speak.Samudra sighed and began, "Tanisi, you asked me about this injury. It happened while fending off an attack which took place at Grishma Bhavana during my return journey". Tanisi was shocked. She looked at him not knowing how to react while he continued.Samudra: "Vishwa's intuition to take you away from there was indeed a very good move. It would have been very dangerous for you there. Soon after you left an old man joined the kitchens as a help to the royal cook. The enemy had his granddaughter as hostage thereby forcing him to act as an informer. Since he joined the palace after your departure he thought the decoy, a well dressed woman was the one the enemy was looking for. I reached the Palace h

Soon Prapta dug information out from the woman and got to know that Manorama was actually a Kaingitya spy and she had informed them about Tanisi's whereabouts. She had spoken to Padma and found out the person they were looking for was Tanisi. Manorama was captured. She was already old but to ensure that the identity of Tanisi remains hidden, Samudra ordered her to be lodged in the solitary dungeon. This information was kept under wraps. People outside only got to know that there was a traitor amongst them and that she had been the reason for the attacks that happened. Meanwhile, Tanisi was near the river washing clothes when Bhavabhooti came to her. He knelt down beside her and initiated a conversation. Tanisi knew of his interest in her. She didn't respond to his queries and gave short, ambiguous answers. Seeing that she wasn't willing to talk to him, Bhavabhooti tried another tactic to make her speak. Bhavabhooti: "Why are you so cold towards us? You only p
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 51 Pragati's arrival.
Samudra summoned Prapta and Vishwa. He wanted to know why they wanted Tanisi dead. The woman who attacked her with dagger wanted to kill her. Prapta wanted to find the reason out. Unfortunately neither the woman nor Manorama knew why they had to kill Tanisi. They were just ordered to eliminate her.Samudra frowned, he turned to Vishwa and gave voice to his doubts, "Vishwa, is it possible that the Kaingityas know the woman rescued from the hands of their Prince Chuda was Tanisi? Or do they think she is someone else?"Vishwa: "Your Highness anything is possible."Samudra: "It doesn't explain the message. Do they know she is someone I am interested in? Is that the reason they want Tanisi dead? Doesn't it make sense for them to capture her and then use her as ransom?"Prapta: "My Lord, could it be both? I mean they know you Love her and they also know that Chuda intended to kill her that day. If you cannot protect her, you would be dejected for losing your wo
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 52 The D Day
After finishing dinner Samudra lazily sat down. Tanisi sat down to have her dinner. Samudra kept staring at her. Tanisi wasn't noticing Samudra. The scene of Samudra playing with Vishwa's daughter was rerunning in Tanisi's mind. She smiled remembering him spoiling her. Samudra too smiled seeing her. Suddenly she choked on her food and started coughing. Samudra immediately went to the kitchen and got her a tumbler of water.Samudra: "Where were you lost? You even forgot to chew food and breathe? What were you smiling at?"Tanisi: "Nothing my Lord. Was remembering Pragati's baby. She is adorable.." Tanisi gushed.Samudra: "The way you looked at the child made me jealous of her."Tanisi was surprised to hear this. Was he admitting it so openly?Samudra: "I do so much to get your attention. All the baby had to do was get into your arms.. Or may be I too should try that.."Tanisi blushed furiously. Unable to face him she looked away. Tani
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 53 Back Home
Tanisi and Samudra and his body guards left for the capital leaving behind the army contigent for protection of Naksha and the new born. Pragati and her child too stayed back to give company to the new mother.The journey back was quick and smooth. Samudra was very happy to see Tanisi riding her horse deftly. It was his spare horse which he had lent to Tanisi. Samudra was now confident that Tanisi was trained enough to take care of herself. He wanted to continue her lessons in warfare so that she would become an expert in combat.After reaching the Royal Palace, Vishwa set out to make arrangements for the arrival of Naksha.Tanisi went back to her chamber and was pleased to be at a familiar place which felt like home.The rainy season was already over and the sun was shining warmly. Moderners were now enthusiastic to settle down doing work that they enjoyed.She noticed the absence of Bhavya and Padma. Atul had mastered the art of making jewellery

Samudra's eyes softened as he reluctantly let go of her. She hurried downstairs as though her life depended on that. Samudra laughed lightly at her reaction. But in their hearts they both cherished this moment.Tanisi happily went towards the arena and started with her sword practice. After a while, she was completely exhausted and was sweating profusely. Wiping her sweat off with her uttareeya, she fanned herself with it for sometime and then went to pick up her bow to practice archery. This training was giving her a good feeling. She felt home again and her memory drifted back to when she had first met Samudra here. How she had mastered hitting the bulls eye and how she had challenged him and subsequently learnt from him too. This elated her spirits and she started training with gusto.Meanwhile, Samudra took Shourya along with him for a walk in his gardens. He had wanted to meet him alone and in person. Bhavya had excused herself to meet the moderners in the Old Pal
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 55 The Misunderstanding
Samudra was now in a fix. He had to keep Tanisi away from the wedding. He had known of Shyamala's intention of making Tanisi a maid-servant for her would-be husband who was known for his fetish for women. But now it would hurt Tanisi's pride if he prohibited her from attending the wedding. And with Bhavya getting married Tanisi would naturally question him why she shouldn't attend the wedding. And if she attends then King Amartya would surely notice her and ask her as his maid servant which Samudra would have to fulfil as dowry. He knew Shyamala had particularly kept this demand that he fulfil the people part of dowry which meant that any demands for men/women is to be fulfilled by Nishantha as Krita desha was too small a kingdom for that.Samudra now saw how calculative Shyamala was and was actually thanking his stars for not making her his wife. But he had to think of a way to keep Tanisi away from the wedding.He came back to his chambers but hunger and sleep eluded

Samudra quietly entered Tanisi's chambers behind her. She showed him in and made him sit and knelt down before him and said, "My Lord. I don't myself know why Atul behaved like that. He was always polite and decent with me. It probably was an accident. He came and knocked on my door.. Many a times he does that and then hides. When I try finding him he scares me. He didn't mean to kiss me... Word is that he and Varidhi love each other and would marry soon. Please believe me there is nothing between me and him..."Samudra was silent. He saw her efforts to convince him. It was now clear to him that she loved him. What he thought of her mattered to her. But he had to use this situation to both of their advantage. He said with a threateningly low voice, "Is there nothing going on between the two of you, I need proof... You would set out tomorrow evening to Naksha's place and take care of her till Prapta returns. Pragati has to return to Vishwa. I don't care what he thinks about yo
