Chapter 265 - Henry's Awakening

Ch-265

Henry felt his head was splitting with pain. It's as if he was burning in the fire. What the hell was happening?! 

He fell unconscious in front of the car. The guards who saw their owner fell unconscious, carried him inside the infirmary. Henry entered into a deep space that looked complete. 

"It's time for you to return to the place you belong," a voice sounded in the space. Henry searched for the source of the voice which resounded in the blank space. The voice emitted power and authority. He flinched when he heard the voice while feeling a sense of deja-vu that he heard this voice somewhere. 

"Rana…" he heard this name again. 

"Rana… leave this place." He heard again. 

"Rana… leave this place and go where you belong. Only then her life can be saved." He heard the same voice again.  But this time the words made him worried. Save his sister? What happened to her? Was something going to happen to her? If he leaves her side how could he save her? What exactly was happening? And Rana who was it? Was he calling him Rana?

Henry felt confused. He groaned at the series of questions that were running in his mind. 

"Who are you? Why are you appearing to me? Who is Rana? Why are you calling me Rana? Do you know who my sister is? Why are saying she would be in danger? Just let me know what the hell was happening!?" Henry yelled at the top of his lungs. The ground on which he stood shook a bit due to his loud shout. 

"Haha… you are just the same as in your last life. Protective of her as usual!" the same voice said. 

"Come out!" Rana yelled. 

"You are impatient," the voice said with a chuckle. 

"First come in front of me," Henry said through his gritted teeth. His eyes were blaring with red, his tall nose flared in anger, invisible smoke emitted from his ears. 

The ground, he stood on, shook violently as he felt it hard to stand. But he somehow stabilized it. He saw a man coming towards in his gold Kurtis and robes. He has a crown and he was adorned with jewelry. He looked ethereal… Like a… King! But his face was covered with a veil.

"So… I am here," he said, staring at Henry with his brown eyes which had the darkest shades of eyes that Henry saw. But his eyes were familiar. He closed his eyes and searched for the memory where he saw. His memory went to Esther. Her eyes! Yes! Similar to her eyes. 

But what was his connection to her? How does he know about her? Who the hell is he? 

"I am Esther's father…technically," he said to him. 

Henry felt like he heard it wrong. But in fact, he heard it right. How would he be Esther's father? When her father was Charles Benjamin. 

"Esther wants you to go away," he added. 

"What?" Henry asked as if he heard something wrong. 

"See this," the man said and took out a potion bottle. The moment he opened it, few fumes came out of it forming a cloud from it. By the time, it turned into a cloud completely it was a fist-sized one. When the last fume escaped the bottle, the fist-sized cloud turned into a big pumpkin-sized cloud. Soon… a scene started playing in it. 

—————

"Grandfather… It's time for my brother to leave the earth realm," Esther said. 

"What do you mean?" Charles Windsors asked. 

"He should know his identity. And since I married Bhairav. I can't be the queen of Kshatra. And a brother is the only direct descendant after me. He could do well." Esther said. 

"But Henry may not listen or could believe this," Charles said. 

"There is a soul entity in his mind. He could do the work for us and can make him believe." Esther said. 

"But… How could we get in contact with that soul entity? Only you can perform magic in Kshatra's. But now you remember nothing," Charles said worriedly. 

"I didn't become the Queen of Kshatra just for a show. I can deal with it… but needs some time," Esther said, crossing her legs in front of him. 

"My Queen, I know you can do this, but this would take a toll on your body. You haven't practiced magic and spells for a long while. If you try it suddenly it would be hard for your body," Charles said. 

"But he should go and lead the Kingdom. This would give hope for the people and to the royalties who were depending on us," Esther said with a voice that she would not take any of his refutes again. 

Charles sighed again at her. 

"As you wish," he said to her. 

"Hmm…" Esther said. 

——————

With that, the scene ended. She really wants him to go but what were they talking about? Did she marry Cyrus, not Bhairav? Kshatra? He knew they were royal but weren't they benjamins? When did they become Kshatra's? 

And… Esther knew magic? How? And why was his grandfather calling her 'My Queen'? 

"Esther… Her name is AAdhira Kshatra. In her past life, she was killed despite having the boon of immortality. And you died while saving her while wishing to be her brother again to protect her from all the dangers. And that's how Henry became Rana Kshatra. You are Pratap Kshatra's son, who denied the throne previously and gave it to AAdhira. And Aadhira's previous life name is Raudra Muki.

"And you may have wondered Why she was called as AAdhira now? That's because we all wanted her to live till she had her natural death. If she goes back to her Kingdom, death will chase her. But if she doesn't come there… he would come here and the dangers might be doubled for her. 

"What's the connection between this and her name? A name can influence all the nine planets in her horoscope. If her name doesn't satisfy her horoscope, few planets might be displeased with her. Last time… I made a mistake by naming her with my savior name to show gratitude to her while throwing my daughter's life at stake," he said.
