Dvesas
Saxony Offer

“Siddarth I have forgiven you. Today I saw justice in me. Continue your life, I will make sure this incident will be the first and last in our descent”, Gayatri said

Gayatri's pardon was welcomed throughout the palace. The overcast sky of Astapura slowly faded away as the flames started to dim. The baby's ashes were placed on a golden jug and draped in the Ganges river.

“Rupika, Gunjana, and everything I will leave the palace. Take good care of yourself. Hopefully in the future or in the next life we can meet in a better situation” said Gayatri hugged them.

“I'm coming with you Nyam” Rupika said begging.

“I broke off as a master and a servant today. We are the same” said Gayatri.

“Mistress I have promised to give up my whole life to you, please accept my baktu” Rupika said.

“I deleted it all just now. Live quietly” Gayatri stroking Rupika cheeks calms the young girl.

Gayatri leaves the palace on horseback, which Siddarth presents.

Through the gate of the palace another horse followed after him equating the steps with Gayatri. Gayatri intends to stop her horse but the man beside her hints to follow her to their first rendezvous, the Yamuna river.

His witness helped Gayatri down from her horse, and that afternoon the waters of the Yamuna River were so cold that they wet her feet.

“If you have no purpose go with me” bargain Saxony.

“I have promised to devote myself to the temple of Durga Maa”, Gayatri said, enjoying the ripples of water that wet her legs and feet.

“How long, a year, two years I will wait for him”

“Why should you wait, our destiny is different. You're King Suballa, your people are waiting for you”

“You won't be able to devote yourself in that temple”

“Why not, my prayers have been answered”

“There is still an unrequited grudge” His witness looked at Gayatri seriously.

Gayatri's face was bewildered, trying to remember which grudges had not been avenged. Gayatri's questionable face made her Saksenya smile. In a calm tone he said :

“Marry me, be my Queen and I will help you reclaim Dwipajaya”

Gayatri looked at Saksenya, the man in front of me did not budge.

“Think once again. You are the King's daughter. If you return to the archipelago now then I will make sure there is not one son of the king who will marry you because your kingdom has been destroyed. The only way is to become my consort and I will help you take Dwipajaya”

His Saxony sentence made Gayatri recall the murder of the Dwipajaya royal family.

Bansheer, that criminal must be rejoicing. The situation of Astapura which is in ruins will be good news to break away from the power of Astapura. His Saxon offer makes sense.

“What do you want from me” asked Gayatri, she was sure a cunning man like Saksenya must have other plans behind it.

“Descendation” says Saksenya steady.

Gayatri's face hardened. How could he possibly give this man offspring while his content was problematic. Two years after she ate food that had been laced with pregnancy-preventing toxins, her uterus may have rotted.

“You better find another woman who will give birth to a child for Suballa”

“You're worried about that barren gossip?” guess the sax while smiling slyly.

“Your regime is not troubled. The herb is simply deadly****** that goes into the uterus and does not make the uterus damaged. That's why you're said to be barren. The potion was not given every day but one week counted from Siddarth's visit to where you” said Saksenya cheerful.

“From where do you know this information” Gayatri narrowed her eyes looking at her reaction.

“Because I suggested at the same time gave the potion to Siddarth”

“You..” Gayatri punched Saksenya in the face but her wrist was soon caught by Saksenya. His witness pulled him closer, one of his hands hugging Gayatri's waist tightly. Staring at Gayatri's face from a very close distance, Gayatri's angry face became his own entertainment.

“I'll kill you” cocked Gayatri, her gnashing of teeth rang out in Saksenya's ears.

“Please do that after you snatch Dwipajaya” reply Saksenya whispered while blowing Gayatri's ear. Making Gayatri increasingly rise apoplexy.

“Let me go. I will ask God to punish you” cried Gayatri to make her Saksenya release both hands.

“You have become the favorite child of Dewa now” taunted Saksenya

Gayatri drives her horse away from her Saksenya who continues to follow her from a distance.
