The Hearth of Ganikas

Just as Mei Wei was wondering about these new traditions, Priyam and Valik also entered the royal kitchen.

"Long live, Your Grace," he greeted.

"Nagaraja had sent us to see if the preparations in the kitchen were finished as the envoy was ready."

Tanay nodded and replied, "Yes, young lords, everything is done. Tell Arya that we are ready for departure."

Hearing this, Mei Wei got excited. "Are we going to those ganikas' house? May I accompany you also?" He asked.

But before anyone could reply, one of the servant girls who were standing on waiting for the royal consorts spoke, "Please don't go there, esteemed guest!"

"It is a dark place where people get a bad name after stepping a foot there even in broad daylight."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the giant kitchen chilled.

Everyone's gaze was directed towards the owner of this voice, and it was Aman who shouted angrily, "Meera, how dare you say that?"
