Chapter - 71 At the Council of Kings - III
The night was on them and the lovely couple came down for dinner and Samudra's mood immediately changed from pleasant to annoyed at the sight of his arch rivals. He maintained his decorum. Tanisi sensed his turmoil and looked around to find two men staring at her anabashedly. She realised these must be the Chanda brothers of Kaingitya who loved challenging her husband at the drop of a hat. She sat for dinner and soon her attention was sought by the Queens of Kaushala and she forgot about everything else. The Queens had also noticed the Kaingitya's behavior and were fuming at their inappropriate behavior towards the Empress.
The dinner went smoothly and everyone took leave. Samudra did not want to go near his chambers hence he led Tanisi to the gardens. The cool night breeze was welcoming and they strolled around with Samudra's hand possessively on Tanisi's waist. He was showing around the different varieties of plants which were native to Kaushala and was explaining to

Tanisi was still standing lost in her thoughts when Samudra walked back after a bath. He had changed into clean antareeya and his hair was dripping wet. He looked at his dazed wife and the uttareeya still on floor where he had dropped it. A wicked thought occurred to him and he quietly went behind her. He held is long hair close to her neck and squeezed it causing water from his hair to drip into her cleavage. The sudden coolness near her breasts caused Tanisi to panic and she moved around in reflex to be caught in a strong embrace and kissed. It took her a while to realise it was her naughty husband. She bit his lips angrily. Samudra let go of her laughing and said, "Where were you lost? Someone could have abducted you while you were in your own world, beautiful!"Tanisi didn't know whether to be angry or relieved. She gave him a scornful look and turned around and settled angrily on her settee. Samudra was about to walk towards her when there was a knock on the door. A mess
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter -73 In defense
Chuda screamed: "I want the accused Emperor Samudra to be interrogated and punished for my Brother's murder as this is against the first tenet of the Council rules. I want him punished for his arrogance and crime."Samudra got up from his place and went to the centre of the hall. His walk was majestic and his aura was calm. Chuda was slightly unnerved by his poise. He was expecting Samudra to be angry or worried. His calmness indicated he had a solid defence.Samudra stared coldly at Chuda and turned to face the Kaushala Royals. There were uneasy murmurs. Samudra then looked at Tanisi and a reassuring smile spread across his face. Tanisi who was tense till then was relieved as she felt Samudra had been prepared for this.Kaushala King spoke, "My dear Samrat of Nishantha, pray counter the allegations made by Chuda."Everyone noticed the way Samudra was addressed in comparison to Chuda. King Amartya was fuming as this didn't augur well for his kingdom
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 74 Arguments continue
Chuda: "Then why did you continue? You wanted him dead? Isn't this indicating murder instead of self-defence?" Samudra: "Chuda, I am also thinking of all the possibilities just like you did. You can cast aspersions at my wife's conduct and I can't even state what I have seen and found out? While it is justified for me to find the evidence in my favor it is inappropriate of you to talk ill of people whom you know nothing about. Is this argument sufficient to shut your filthy mouth or do I need to talk more?" Samudra's voice grew menacing and Chuda was now no longer as courageous as he was till then. Luckily for him, Samudra looked away from him and turned to face the King of Kaushala instead. Kaushala King: "I am satisfied and convinced by the statement of Emperor of Nishantha. Hence I am for dropping the charges. As it is customery I would like to take the Council's vote in this regard. As declared by my Queen, Kaingitya cannot vote and Nishantha is the defen

Samudra lifted her chin up using his fore finger and looked intently into her eyes, concern written all over his face. He remembered the first time he saw her, compared to that she looked pale and sickly now. Samudra: "Are you alright my dear? You don't look very healthy." Tanisi: "Your highness, I am not feeling well nowadays. I cannot pin point at what's wrong, but I always feel tired. I sometimes lose my train of thoughts. Only when a situation is emotionally charged, my thoughts remain coherent. Otherwise I feel lost. Doing nothing, feeling nothing." Samudra frowned. He was wondering if he was disturbing her sleep too much. She didn't look refreshed every morning. He also remembered this was a new happening. She appeared very healthy and fit at the initial days of their wedding. He registered the doubt in his head and decided to investigate more. Tanisi: "Our stay got extended waiting for the next Crown Prince of Kaingitya. My medicines are
Into the Unknown Lands Chapter - 76 The couple are back.
After returning from the Council of Kings, Samudra was in a very good mood. His major headache had been solved. Chanda Bhadra was a much trustworthy ruler than his brothers hence Kaingitya weren't a problem anymore. With Chuda held as prisoner, Bhadra could rule without hindrance. This allowed Samudra to concentrate on his own kingdom. He started weeding out the Kaingitya sympathisers and his Uncle's aides one by one from his beloved Nishantha. Tanisi was checked by the Royal doctor on returning and he prescribed some medicines. Initially it was fine, but soon Tanisi started dreading the medicines. Her tiredness returned. Samudra was very busy. She didn't bring it up with him and instead started to throw the medicines away instead of consuming them. One day Samudra was strolling around his Garden lost in deep thoughts when he noticed something puzzling. He summoned the gardener and asked him why a particular set of plants had stunted growth, with le

Samudra went to his chambers. He found Tanisi relaxing on the swing. He smiled gently at her and asked how she felt now. She looked at him sadly and said, she doesn't feel very well. Just then Naksha asked for his permission to enter. Samudra: "Naksha, what would I do without you! Thanks for bringing this issue to my notice before Tanisi could have been hurt more." Naksha: "Samrat, my intention was to make you scold your heavenly beautiful wife!! But I was shocked to see what she has gone through. Tanisi, I am sorry for having bullied you!" Samrat: "Well I have a task for you, after announcing that, I request our Samrajni(Empress) to punish you for bullying her." Tanisi laughed heartily at their banter which instantly lightened her mood. Samudra: "Naksha, I have a doubt that Kumuda is someone I know. Her story seems too farfetched to be true. For one, Padmanabha (Royal cook) has a particular timetable. For him to find her j

Tanisi was tied down by Samudra. He wouldn't let her out of sight. He wasn't going to let her go anywhere. Tanisi's poisoning was wreaking havoc. At one point she could think clearly and see that the said events had a long timeline and that Samudra genuinely loved her. But most of the times her thoughts were a chaos and she remembered the past more clearly when compared to recent events making her hate herself.Samudra had seen her mood swings. The Royal Doctor had prescribed another medicine to help her heal quickly. This was prepared and sent by the doctor himself instead of allowing the royal chefs to prepare it.Kumuda was kept under watch without her knowledge. She still sent medicines thinking that Tanisi was consuming it. In some days Naksha requested Tanisi and Samudra to give her audience.Even though Tanisi had toned her attacks down, the relation between her and Samudra had greatly soured. The doctor had told Samudra in private that, she w

She regained her composure and was now ashamed at her behavior. She lowered her head and breaking free from his embrace, she dressed his wound. Samudra looked at her lovingly. She caught sight of this and didn't know how to react. She got up and simply left the place. Samudra sat down. He then decided to take his horse "Ativega"(Ati - too, Vega - Fast) out with him for sometime. He shared a very strong bond with his horse and always felt consoled in its presence. He changed his clothes and went downstairs. He heard Tanisi's voice, she was playing with Naksha's child Bhadrabahu. Bahu could now walk and he loved playing blindfold. Samudra walked upto the place where they were playing. The child noticed him and ran to him. Samudra picked him up and caressed him. Tanisi who was blindfolded kept calling Bahu's name. Samudra was reminded of the time when he had rescued her. She was blindfolded then too. A smile crept up on his lips at the naughtiness he had exhibited towards her.&
