The sound of horses’ hooves resounded in the compound of the Royal Palace in Hampi. Vijay, who had been away from the city for a few days, had finally returned.
Kavya, who was in her room, upon hearing the sound of a carriage, imdiately understood that it was Vijay who arrived. With a happy expression on her face, she hurried to the main door to et him. However, by the ti she reached the door, Butler Ravichandra Rao was already there, waiting to receive Vijay.
As soon as Vijay entered the door, he was greeted by the old man Ravichandra Rao and his wife, Kavya.
He had a smile on his face and felt happy about their intent of welcoming him ho. With a happy expression on his face, Vijay greeted Uncle Ravichandra, then took Kavya’s hand and went inside the palace.
Looking around to ensure no one was watching, Vijay suddenly pulled Kavya into his arms. "Ah!" Kavya let out a small scream after being startled, but before she could complain, her mouth was locked by Vijay’s.
Vijay’s hands road in unusual places, and the redness in Kavya’s face increased as her eyes beca teary with a faint mist of love. Vijay was surprised as his hands were not knocked away like they usually were. Crossing the boundary, he beca bolder and directly felt so delicate assets as his hands reached inside her clothes.
Feeling the heat, he was Unable to hold on anymore, he swiftly picked up Kavya and went to their bedroom.
*Slam*
*A few hours later*
Vijay could be seen lying next to Kavya, leaning on the headboard, both out of breath and panting, with their naked bodies entwined. Kavya covered her chest with the rug on the bed, while Vijay leaned against the headboard, with Kavya gently lying on his chest. His hand rested gently on Kavya’s belly, feeling the ho of the upcoming heir.
Suddenly, Vijay, who had been calmly sitting with a smile on his face, widened his eyes in exclamation and burst into excited laughter.
Kavya, still catching her breath after their passionate encounter, asked him with a puzzled expression, "What happened?" Vijay, trying his best to act nonchalant, replied with his mouth still twitching, attempting to control the joy he felt, "It’s nothing, I just rembered sothing." Kavya obviously didn’t believe him, but nonetheless, she went back to resting her head on Vijay’s chest.
Now that Kavya was not paying attention, feeling overwheld with happiness, Vijay couldn’t hold back anymore and put on a big smile. As to what caused this burst of happiness within him? Well, it was that He could feel the weak heartbeat that had just started to occur in Kavya’s belly. Vijay felt elated, more than ever before, as he got to witness the first heartbeat of their child.
What more could he ask for?
Vijay felt a newfound gratitude for his heightened senses, more thankful for them now than ever before.
As for Kavya, who was lying in Vijay’s arms, sensing his good mood, she felt that this was the right ti to bring up the possibility of her idea being realized.
"Um, Vijay, I have sothing to ask of you," Kavya said with a hesitant expression.
Vijay, still in a happy mood, soon shifted his attention to Kavya as he asked with curiosity, "What is it, Kavya? Tell , I will get it done."
Kavya, feeling that the words could not co out of her mouth due to nervousness, finally gathered her courage and said, "A few days ago, I t with a scientist, Vinay from the Bharatiya Academy of Sciences."
Before Kavya could continue further, Vijay was surprised by the news, as he did not understand why Kavya t with Vinay. It was not like it was supposed to happen, but it was the most random thing he could have imagined. Despite his doubts, Kavya continued with a determined expression, for so reason unknown to him.
"Vinay ca to explain his success in the research you assigned, as well as the completion of the compilation of books for battlefield first aid instructions," Kavya explained. "He wanted to et you, but you were not ho, so I heard him out."
Vijay was enlightened, and he nodded his head, understanding the cause and effect of the situation. As for his worry about the leakage of secret matters, it was not his concern, as it was only Kavya who got to know of the news, which would eventually be public anyway. Still, he resolved to enforce a stricter rule in the future to prevent such occurrences even by mistake.
On the other hand, he did not yet know what Kavya needed, so he waited for her to state her request.
Kavya’s determination wavered slightly as she prepared to make her request. Despite her confidence in Vijay’s likely acceptance, she found herself hesitating now that the mont had arrived to make the request. "Pull yourself together, Kavya, this is not for you alone," she said to herself in her heart.
The hesitation was only a split second as her face was replaced by a more resolute and determined expression as she explained,
"So after hearing Vinay, I ca to the conclusion that most simple dical treatnts could be done by anyone. So, I was hoping that you would agree to recruit won for these jobs."
This caught Vijay off guard as he suddenly leaned forward, moving away from the headboard, and looked Kavya in the eye with a serious expression. Kavya, who was sleeping on Vijay’s chest, was brought forward along with his movent. Due to this movent, the rug covering her chest slipped away due to gravity.
Despite this, she did not cover herself and looked straight at Vijay with a resolute expression, in order to make her request seem more resolute.
Vijay, who could see Kavya’s naked upper body, did not waver and kept his eyes on hers. With a serious expression, he asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Kavya, maintaining the sa resolute expression, replied, "Yes, this is what I want to do."
Observing the determination shining in Kavya’s eyes, Vijay’s tone softened, and he spoke in a gentler manner, addressing the hardships she would likely face if she pursued her request.
"Please think carefully, wife. If you do this, the people of the empire will bla you for your proposal. They will scold you behind your back, and the already lukewarm relationship you have with the people will get even worse."
Kavya was taken aback by Vijay’s statent, not because of the hardships he ntioned, but because she was surprised that Vijay knew about the treatnt she was receiving. From the very beginning, she understood that many people did not appreciate her as the Queen of the empire, let alone as the Empress.
However, her isolation only deepened when her kingdom was destroyed, leaving her with little political significance. She had even heard Butler Ravichandra suggest to Vijay multiple tis that he marry another wife. Fortunately for her, perhaps due to her past life’s good karma returning, Vijay firmly refused.
However, her situation did not improve; in fact, it worsened over ti with her inability to conceive.
Kavya knew about the people’s badmouthing of her behind her back and their refusal to accept her as Vijay’s legal other half. She felt very saddened and frustrated by the incidents that repeatedly occurred.
Although no one directly confronted her, she could sense the way everyone treated her, from the ministers to the military who visited the palace—they acted as if she did not exist when Vijay was not beside her. Despite all this, she did not intend for Vijay to know about this matter.
But now, seeing that Vijay had directly asked her the question she was hiding from him, she couldn’t help but be shocked and sowhat angry at him for not doing anything about it. Although she was the one who wanted Vijay not to do anything about it, now that he really did not take action, she felt furious.
Kavya’s anger flared, and she rose from the bed, standing on her knees atop the mattress. She grabbed the chain Vijay was wearing with both her hands, pulling it as if it were his collar. Her furious face was very close to his. "Asshole! Then why didn’t you do sothing about it? Do you enjoy seeing your wife suffer so much?"
Vijay was suddenly being manhandled by his wife, and seeing her angry tigress face made him chuckle a little. He felt Kavya looked more pretty now. This was the side of Kavya he had never seen, and he was starting to like it already. But seeing as how Kavya was about to explode because of his amusent, he quickly replied,
"If I did sothing, would that really do you any good? Think about it. Is it right to punish soone for sothing they have in their hearts and have not yet shown outwardly? People will think that you are abusing your power, and your reputation will be lower than before. So, what do you think I should have done?"
