Dukes room
blake:
Hurry up, Duke !
And jerry, help him fix his hair.
Marius, did you bring his clothes? Pressed?
Marius (a family member, Level 1 Bita):
Yes, brother. I've got them. Duke , hurry up — it's almost time to leave.
Duke :
I am hurrying! I don't have four hands, you know! Go tell everyone — if they're in such a rush, Go and get engaged yourself!
blake:
Shut your mouth. What nonsense are you spewing now? Just get ready, and…
Keep your mouth shut at the event, understand?
You could kill someone just with your words.
jerry:
Yeah Duke , there'll be a lot of people there. Better keep your mouth shut.
Don't say or do anything weird.
Duke :
What do you guys think of me, huh?
Have I ever disrespected anyone?
You guys just like ruining my reputation for no reason.
blake:
Oh sure, flowers fall from your lips, right?
And your behavior? Don't even get me started.
(Just then, a servant enters.)
Servant:
Young master, someone is here to see you.
Duke :
Me? Send them in.
(The servant brings in the visitor — it's none other than Jude. He walks into the room where Duke is getting dressed, his brothers helping him.)
Jude (stepping forward toward Duke ):
You shouldn't go through with this engagement with Queen.
You're not worthy of her.
(blake flares up at this.)
blake:
Who the hell are you? Get out of here!
jerry:
blake , this is Jude.
He studies at the Academy. He's friends with Queen and Kaya.
blake:
I don't care who he's friends with. Throw him out. (To a servant)
Duke (with a mischievous grin):
Oh Jude , what can I say — this fire of youth refuses to let me rest.
And just look at my fate — I'm getting married… to Queen!
Ever since I found out, I haven't been able to sleep at night.
She's all I dream about now… I can't wait for the wedding.
Jude (gritting his teeth in anger):
What… what did you just say?
You're not even worthy of touching her sandals!
Duke :
Yeah, maybe… but she's going to be mine now — forever. Wow.
(blake starts feeling a bit sorry for Jude. He signals the servant to escort Jude out. The servant takes Jude away. As Jude leaves, he thinks to himself…)
Jude (thinking):
She's mine… and no one else's.
Whoever comes between us… will have to die.
Meanwhile — Saxena House Garden:
It's already 6 PM.
The garden is fully decorated.
Guests from all major Sector B families and even some Sector A families have arrived.
A grand stage has been set in the center.
Everyone is confused — how could the brilliant daughter of the gry family be getting engaged to a useless boy from the falcon family?
When just three years ago, a boy from the falcon family had eloped with a girl from the Gry family — sparking deep enmity between the two family?
People whispered all around, unable to believe this sudden alliance.
Abhay, head of the Saxena family, stepped forward to welcome everyone.
Then the engagement ceremony officially began.
Stage Scene – Queen & Duke 's First Meeting
Queen and Duke are called onto the stage.
They look at each other for the first time.
Duke was incredibly handsome — easily the best-looking in his family.
But his record was so bad, no one wanted to associate with him.
After all, looks don't matter without power.
Queen, on the other hand, was exactly what her name suggested — a Queen.
Anyone who saw her became mesmerized.
But she was equally terrifying.
The moment Duke saw Queen, he froze for a second.
They both locked eyes, neither blinking.
Engagement Ritual Begins
Danial steps onto the stage.
He holds both of their hands and makes a small cut on each.
They drink each other's blood.
Murmurs start in the crowd below.
"Blood bond? The Saxena family has lost their minds! A blood marriage — with that boy?"
Whispers filled the air.
Nearby, Queen's sister Laila,ella , and Jude stood shocked.
Even they didn't know this would be a blood marriage.
Then, Queen and Duke touch their bloodied fingers to a piece of parchment.
As soon as the blood hits the paper — it burns away.
Suddenly, rings appear on their fingers — formed from each other's blood.
Meaning: As long as they are alive, these rings can never be removed.
Then, Vishal raises a glass for a toast.
Everyone else lifts theirs too — all filled with blue blood.
The scent of it made everyone's mouths water.
As they drank, a surge of powerful energy rushed through them.
After that, congratulations began pouring in for both families.
Duke Meets Laila (Queen's Sister)
Duke :
Oh! So you're my sister-in-law now?
And you know what they say — a sister-in-law is half a wife!
I've really hit the jackpot — a gorgeous wife and now another beauty in the house too!
(Laila is stunned. No one had ever spoken to her like that before.
People usually avoided even talking to her — but this guy…)
Duke (continuing):
And where's my brother-in-law?
Didn't show up? Your elder brother?
Guess he's scared of me!
(Laila is even more shocked — no one dared speak like that about her elder brother.
At the Academy, people trembled just standing in front of him.
And this guy's mocking him?)
(Just as Laila is about to respond, Duke speaks again)
Duke :
Anyway, forget all that…
Can you tell me where the washroom is?
(Laila, suppressing her anger, signals a servant to guide him.
Duke starts walking toward the washroom with the servant.
Just then, jerry follows behind — and Duke yells loud enough for everyone to hear…)
Duke :
jerry!
You following me to take off my pants or what?!
jerry freezes on the spot.
Everyone nearby — Laila's relatives, family friends — all stunned.
Even Queen is taken aback.
In her mind, she's thinking:
"What the hell is wrong with this guy?
Does he ever think before he speaks?"
Duke casually walks away toward the washroom.
