📜 Previously on Reincarnated Prince of Kaligarh:
After reclaiming the capital, Aryan begins restoring order and rebuilding his kingdom. But with a moment of peace comes a new type of battle—one that takes place not on the battlefield, but in the halls of the palace… and in the hearts of three determined women.
SCENE 1 – ROYAL GARDEN TERRACE [MORNING]
Birds chirp, and sunlight glows over polished stone. Aryan lounges on a garden bench, sipping warm almond milk with his mother Devika, who's comfortably wrapped in a royal shawl.
DEVIKA (with a teasing smile)
So, conqueror of Kaligarh… what will you conquer next? The treasury? Or maybe… one of those girls following you like shadows?
ARYAN (smirking)
I'd rather fight another war than answer that.
DEVIKA
Come now. Kaamaya has eyes sharper than a hawk. Meena stares at you like she's planning an ambush. And Reva… well, she already knows all your secrets.
ARYAN (chuckling)
That's exactly why I'm staying quiet. You think this is a conversation, but it's a trap.
DEVIKA (grinning)
Hmm. Maybe. But that smile you just gave—looked like someone already has your heart.
Aryan laughs it off, saying nothing.
Unseen behind a garden pillar… Kaamaya watches with wide eyes.
SCENE 2 – THE SECRET COUNCIL OF CHAOS [STORAGE ROOM – NIGHT]
A small, dimly lit storage room. Dried herbs, pickles, and dusty scrolls line the walls. Three figures sit in a triangle around a cracked lantern: Kaamaya, Meena, and Reva.
KAAMAYA (dead serious)
He smiled when she asked. He didn't deny it. That means… someone already holds his heart.
MEENA (folding arms)
Our scouts, spies, and soldiers found nothing. Not even a love letter.
REVA (coldly)
Exactly. That's what worries me. Aryan isn't just a prince—he's a shadow. If he's hiding someone… none of us will find her unless he allows it.
KAAMAYA
Then it's settled. We start a new investigation.
MEENA
Agreed. For love—and war.
REVA (leaning forward)
And if this mysterious girl actually exists…
KAAMAYA (smiling dangerously)
We find her. We question her. And if she's unworthy…
ALL THREE
She goes.
They place their hands together like war generals in a secret pact.
SCENE 3 – NEXT ROOM OVER [PALACE CORRIDOR]
Devika, quietly eavesdropping while sipping warm tea, smiles like a villain in a comedy.
DEVIKA (whispering)
I was getting bored. But now… oh, this is going to be fun.
She turns and strolls away humming.
