Chapter 76 - Internal Trifle

Ch-76

He gritted his teeth and bore with the pain. Bhairava saw his weapon was destroyed into the dust. But she wasn't his opponent! His opponents were waiting for him! He could feel his sister gaze at him. As if on the cue he turned his towards her and looked at her. Shakti gave a mocking smile to him. Her smile almost blinded her! Shakti noticed her brother standing in a daze. If he continues to behave like that he would be defeated even before the challenge starts. She closed her eyes and sprinted towards him. Everyone thought that airbrushed in front of them but when they realized Shakti sprinted towards Bhairava. 

"Hey, weakling!" Shakti greeted him. She stopped calling him with that nickname fifty years ago but she started now again. He wanted to shout and say that he wasn't but Shakti bet him in that. 

"Yeah… Yeah… I know! You want to say that you aren't. But even if you say things, the truth was in front of you, right? Don't you agree? Hmm? You couldn't save your wife and your child. Your woman didn't even say that she was with your child. Does that mean she doesn't trust that you can protect her?" Shakti said as she walked in circles around him. What can hurt a man? The fact that he was unable to protect his child and his woman! He doesn't want to face the truth. He gritted his teeth, the chattering of his teeth can be heard. 

"Don't grit your teeth weakling brother! You will lose your teeth! And now, I just used a little power you couldn't withstand against it! Hah! What a joke you were! Tsk tsk tsk… Is there anyone in the world who uses fire against Lightning! Only a fool would do that! If you use fire against the Lightning, due to the friction you will feel your weapon was growing heavy and you couldn't carry the weapon! You will feel your body growing heavier and just feel like dropping it! Water Energy or Air energy or the same energy would be used against the lightning! Where was your logic, idiot! And everyone was thinking you would become a great king with this kind of shit-filled logic! Hmm?" Shakti taunted as she stood in front of him. 

"In another three hours, eleven days would be finished after the death of Raudramukhi. I only have four days to get her back to life. If you can't win! Don't blame me! And you may think, You were my brother, why can't I help you? I am a person with logic unlike you. Every person will die one day and she is dead. Her fate was like that. What can you and I do? Since you were so stubborn, I will give you a chance! But one thing, only an incapable person would feel anger, resentment, sadness, and all negative feelings. Only an incapable person would feel that! A capable man would move on and will develop the qualities that lacked and would make sure he would not repeat them. He would not be stuck at that point only. Like you!?! Got it!? I will sit in my seat and watch you fight!" she said as she jumped from her position to her seat on one foot. It's nothing common to others, after all, many people do that. 

Shakti crossed her leg and sat in her seat lazily as she watched the challenge. She took her conch and blew it producing the divine sound from it. The sound produced by the conch reverberated through the whole kingdom. The citizens of the Basilisk looked in the direction of the palace. They felt a shiver in their spines. Every royal person owns a divine conch. They would use it only when there were wars, but now they heard the sound. It only means they were having an internal fight between the royal members. They used to hear the sound of their present King Bhairava when his power was challenged. Since there was no queen, the previous queen was appointed as the 'Acting Queen'. 

In Basilisk's empire, if the wife of the king was not enough for the queen's position or if the king was unmarried or his wife was unmarried, a person from the royal family can act as the acting queen, or the previous queen, if she was still alive she can act as the acting queen. But still, the wife of the king would get equal status as the queen, it's just that she wouldn't be able to deal with the national affairs. She would be a complete housewife. Since Bhairava was unmarried, the previous queen was still acting like the queen which led to the disaster. 

The Previous Queen Padmavathi Devi, was so obsessed with her power, that she was so addicted to it. Her wish was to die like a queen. That's the reason she wanted a daughter-in-law, who would serve her as a slave and listen to her like a dumbhead! If a daughter-in-law doesn't listen to her, she wouldn't be able to continue as a queen. If her daughter becomes the queen, she could do nothing because she knew her daughter was way more capable than her. And at that time she was the only lineage in their family but now things were different. Time changed, situations changed, everything changed and even she changed, into a greedy and scheming bitch, who played a part in killing her daughter-in-law. Well... This would be a story for another time. 

The citizens knew from the sound of the conch, it was Princess Shakti. Princess Shakti was known for her strength all over the world. She only used the conch once, at that time the whole kingdom was in chaos. But after some time she calmed down. Now again she blew the conch. It only meant something serious. Since it was coming from inside the palace it means something was going on.
