Dvesas
New Degree

Gayatri looked at the bridal room that had been decorated in such a way. The fragrance of the incense in the room brought Gayatri to her childhood memories. Dwipajaya special scented incense. The party had ended an hour ago, Gayatri was still with decorations and bridal clothes. He looked at himself in the large mirror of the room.

Her makeup is more natural, the clothes and accessories she wears look more human with a weight that can be sustained by her body. This wedding is much simpler and more meaningful. The people of Subala welcomed him with great joy, finally after so many years, at the age of 33 his Saxony solidified the choice of his heart.

“Can I log in?” his Saxon voice startled Gayatri who was looking at her face in the mirror.

“Come”, Gayatri said.

Saxony's in. The full bridal outfit is still saxna wear. Her smile was twice as bright as their first meeting.

“This is your room, your kingdom why ask permission?” ask Gayatri

“This room is now not my own, there are others who will occupy it with me”.

“Hey, shouldn't I wait for you in bed with the hood closed?” ask Gayatri in shock.

“Forget that tradition, I have opened your veil in front of the priest. No one knows that anyway. Just the two of us here”

Gayatri nodded in understanding.

“You want me to help you release the jewelry?” ask Saksenya.

Gayatri was shocked and surprised, even ordinary people would not do women's work let alone take off this pretty much accessories.

“Let the waiter do it” refuse Gayatri

“They've told me to rest” said Saksenya began to remove the ornaments in Gayatri's hair.

Gayatri. She's sitting at the dresser. His witness invited him to talk to make Gayatri's defensive attitude slowly decline.

“Can we make a deal?” ask Gayatri. They were both busy untangling the twisted hair.

“Say, I will listen to your request”, Saksenya said.

“Do we have to have children?” tanya Gayatri was nervous.

“Of course. That's the price I asked for. I helped you recapture Dwipajaya, and you gave me offspring. I think it's quite break-even” said Saksenya.

Gayatri thought for a moment. Comparing the married life of yesterday with that of now.

“I'm not pushy, whenever you're ready to tell me. My task is done, rest”, said Saksenya save the last accessories belonging to Gayatri.

“Where are you going?” ask Gayatri

“You forgot your husband is a king? I have a task to complete. Tomorrow morning there are servants here, they will take you to see the palace of Subala”

His witness left Gayatri alone. He understood Gayatri must not have fully accepted her new state. No problem he would wait until Gayatri could accept his new status.

Gayatri POVs

“How can there be a man as calm as his Saxony?”

If I think there is no harm in being a Queen, I have the right to royal orders with the King's permission. I've seen you take over government when you're traveling to another country.

The witness is not sneaky just a man who is good at taking advantage of the situation. She was willing to raise my rank as a widow and an orphan. I had thought of ending up as a monk, then what about our descendants? My sister Adhyaksa must be waiting for me, after my task is completed she will continue the genealogy of the Dwipajaya Kingdom.

Giving offspring to the kingdom of Subala is not easy or difficult, I have to prepare. As long as Bansheer still controls Dwipajaya I can't have children in peace.

I'd better rest tonight tomorrow I'll negotiate a few things with the witness.

*****

The first chicken tree woke Gayatri from her long sleep. Four servants lined up in front of his room waiting for Gayatri to wake up. This bedroom is exactly like the room in Dwipajya. It has doors, windows, and a secret room.

“Come” said Gayatri

The four servants entered. Each introduced themselves as Janu, Anjali, Nema and Sharma. Janu and Nema will be his personal servants while Anjali and Sharma are in charge of delivering food for him.

The two servants did not talk much or ask questions, they would not even say if Gayatri did not start the conversation. What kind of relationship does Gayatri think. He's not used to living with people who don't talk to him.

“If there is anything you want to ask, just say I will answer it” Gayatri said to her clumsy servant.

“Good Ratu” said they simultaneously.

Gayatri was a little foreign to the call, previously she envied Jhanvi using the title that should have been hers. Today the call seemed unsuitable for him.

“Can I meet the King after breakfast?” ask Gayatri.

“King has been gone since morning, Ratu” said Nema.

“Please select the clothes you want to wear” said Janu showed a number of dresses.

Gayatri chose a simple-looking orange saree. These clothes are far from the impression of luxury, the jewelry was little and very simple. It's been a while since Gayatri wasn't wearing this light jewelry.

“When can I meet Raja?’

“After dinner” both in unison replied.

“Good. Take me to the temple” pinta Gayatri.

They went to the small temple in the building. The simple temple was in a closed room. Not many people were allowed inside. There are statues of Mahadeva, Lord Krishna and Lord Ganesha. Gayatri did worship there. To praise him for the gift he has received.
