"Remember one thing, you are not only going to spy on them but also to protect his majesty. If you see something odd or anything, just make sure to protect his majesty first. Ankush.." Raksheet looked at Ankush with a serious look
"Even if you will not be the incharge of his majesty's food, you have to make sure that he is eating healthy and clean food. No one should touch it except for the cook. And that cook should be loyal to his majesty. If you felt that something is wrong, immediately inform Vikram and Vikram, you should go inside the palace by using the badge of Jwalana that I gave you and protect his majesty. No one can stop you from entering inside the palace with that badge. But before that, don't expose yourself. Be careful and safe. If your identity gets revealed, i am scared that, that traitor may hurt you. He have great power, so be careful. It's about someone's life, we can't be careless."
Vikram and Ankush looked at each other. They know that this mission is so dangerous that it can affect their lives. But they can't step back. They are loyal to their king and want to prove it at any cost. If they got chance to save someone's life, they will not think twice before doing it. They are not a soldier whom everyone respect and fear, but they are as important as a soldier. And they want to prove it. They are always hidden from world, their true identity is always hidden so no one knows their importance.
Everyone thinks that they are just people who like to disturb someone's personal life by spying on them. But what they don't know is that these spies are the most loyal and important people for a kingdom. Without them, no kingdom can survive in this world full of rivals. They want to show their importance, even if it cost their life.
"We are not scared of anything your majesty." Vikram said "As long as you are with us, to protect and feed our family, we are ready to sacrifice our lives for our kingdom."
"Yes your majesty. We are ready for this mission." Ankush said.
Raksheet was touched to see the loyalty of his spies, especially Vikram's. He have someone he love so much and haven't expressed his love to her, but he is ready to go on a life threatening mission. They trust him so much that he will take care of their family if something happened to them. But he can't let them die there.
"If....if your identity gets revealed, just leave from there as soon as possible. Just run away and hide. Inform me, I will come as soon as possible to save you. No need to die unnecessarily. I need you two to serve Jwalana more in the future. I can't afford loosing you two."
Vikram tried to hide his smile after hearing Raksheet's words. He know that Raksheet don't only want to loose his trustable loyal spies but also a person he know since childhood. Even if they don't call eachother friend, they have a bond not less than friends.
Raksheet didn't wanted to get trapped in a unnecessary relation like friendship or love. But because of his grandfather, he had to marry Ira and instantly fell in love with her.
But about friendship, he still don't want it because it will only make him weak. But his heart is already attached with Vikram, that's why he made him his personal spy as soon as he became the king. So that he can spend some time with him, the person he trust.
Vikram is the only one Raksheet can trust and same goes with Vikram. Both of them know that they need eachother as a friend but don't want to accept it because of their work. Raksheet don't want to be weak because of friendship because he need Vikram as his spy who can complete every dangerous mission without caring about his life and Vikram don't want his friend to fall alone if something happened to him one day because of his dangerous work.
Raksheet narrowed his eyes when he saw Vikram trying to control his smile.
"What happened? Why are you smiling?" He asked, knowing how sly Vikram is.
Vikram quickly became normal and stopped smiling. He cleared his throat and replied "No, nothing. I didn't smile."
Raksheet looked away, trying to hide his smile as well. "Ok, now go and prepare to leave tomorrow morning. You have to leave before princess Ira's family. Go home and take some rest because...you can't after tomorrow." He said and patted Vikram's shoulder with a obvious fake smile before leaving from there, Leaving Vikram and Ankush dumbfounded. Especially Ankush, he don't know what's going on between Raksheet and Vikram and upon that, how can he be so threatening after being so caring.
"You packed that medicine too, right?" Raksheet asked, caressing Ira's hand while her tired petite body resting in his arms on the bed with her eyes closed.
"I did." She replied.
"Good. You told him how to use it?"
She just nod in reply.
"What happened?" He asked to see Ira's changed behaviour. Usually, she talks a lot and ask so many questions about her grandfather's health and intruder when they are together but today, she is quite. May be because her grandfather is leaving tomorrow.
She was silent for a while, trying to suppress the strom inside her heart. With a heavy sigh, she replied "I am scared..." Even if her eyes were closed, it didn't stopped her tears from falling down from her eyes "I don't want him to go but i can't stop him either...what if something happened to him again? If someone again tried to kill him?" As she asked the last question, the strom inside her heart broke all the boundaries and she burst into tears. She gripped his shirt tightly and buried her face in his chest.
"I can understand." Raksheet said while patting her head gently. "You are scared for him. But don't worry, i will not let anything happen to him."
She looked up at him with teary eyes and wet cheeks "W-What do you mean?"
Raksheet chuckled and wiped Ira's cheeks who was looking like cute curious puppy.
"I will protect him." He said reassuringly.
"How?" She sat up straight, listening carefully.
Raksheet was in dilemma whether he should tell Ira about it or not. If she got to know about his plan, she will always worry about her grandfather and always ask him about the information he got from Vikram. But even if he doesn't tell her, she will still worry about him.
When Ira didn't got any answer from Raksheet, she shook his body and said "Raksheet, tell me. How will you protect my grandfather?" making him snap out of his thoughts.
"Huh?" He looked at her and blinked several times "Ah, that.....I am telling you. But it is a secret so please don't tell anyone for grandfather's safety."
Ira quickly nod "I will not tell anyone. Promise. Please tell me what you are going to do."
Raksheet held Ira's hand and looked in her eyes. "I am sending a spy to Aaro. To keep an eye on grandfather, to protect him. My spy will be always arround grandfather and will keep an eye on everything that happens arround him."
Hearing Raksheet's plan, Ira's eyes lit up. A gust of hope and happiness covered her heart. "R-Really? Who is that spy? How will he protect grandfather? Will he stay in Aaro palace? How will he enter in palace? Have you planned about it?" She asked so many questions at a time that Raksheet was confused, not knowing what to answer first.
"Calm down. You don't have to worry about that. Leave it on me. I will take care of all this matters."
"Ok. But at least tell me who is that spy? What is his name?" She asked hopefully.
He caressed her cheeks "I am sorry princess, I can't tell you his name. I can't reveal his identity. His safety is also important. If this information gets leaked, his life may be in danger." He said with an apologetic look.
