Problems

The bullet penetrated through my upper shoulder. The blood dripped to the ground like raindrops. However, I just kept on my serious face.

'It is not time to give up yet. I need to stand my ground.'

Sunil smiled, "If you were a day younger, then you would be crying from such an insect bite. Now, it seems I have room for three. Let me test your limit."

Seeing his finger about to pull the trigger, I closed my eyes and waited for something painful to happen in my right shoulder. However, that was all there was to it.

"Hahahahahaha! Why are you making that face!" My Uncle laughed with his hands on his stomach, and soon everyone followed.

'I feel like a chicken.' I thought, as the gentle snowflakes fell on my face, 'I have fallen for one of my uncle's pranks.'

"You should have seen the cowardly look on your face, kid! Hahahaha!" My Uncle walked over to my position.

He gave me a really wide hug filled with nothing but love for his dear nephew. Even so, my body was far from being in a condition where it could hug people when it needed.

"Argh!" I groaned, before adding, "Uncle you are hurting me. We should hurry up, and fly to the Mysore palace. The condition of your sister worries me a lot."

"Hahaga!" The old man laughed with pleasure, and all the red lines on my body disappeared, "You are way too young to be worried about Trisha. She is the so-called Queen of India, for crying out loud. I assure you she is fine. When she was only a teenager, she used to hunt down Aoes that entered our estate on her own."

I took a sign of relief, as I glanced at the thousand of fighter jets that surrounded me, 'Hearing that from one of the strongest people in the country makes me a little reviewed. Wait for me mother, I will be there soon.'

Oblivious to my thoughts, my uncle immediately used his resonate ability on me. His black hand touched my bleeding shoulder, and everything recovered to what it was before. Not only that, but all the fatigue I have been feeling vanished.

'I wish the Asclepius worm had bitten me instead. The side effect of losing all sexual desires is something I was born with.'

I just kept my thoughts to myself, as I stared at the soldiers clad in white military uniforms saluting at me with nothing but respect.

I saluted the white-bearded general, "Uncle, no, Sunil Iyer, thank you for standing with me in this difficult time when all of India has labeled me an enemy. My thanks extend to your brave men and women who swore an oath to protect our lovely India no matter what."

Indra laughed heartily, a sly smile covering his thin lip, "If what you said is true, then show your gratitude through actions, not words. Why don't you go out with Ishwar on a date? I am sure you will get along well."

"Uncle! Please don't say that!" I roared.

"You really don't change." A pink-haired girl with light skin addressed, before she started chuckling underneath her breath.

Most women would be enraged if someone were forced to be their bride, yet she doesn't seem one bit uninterested in the issue. Just my luck.

"Ahem..." I faked a cough trying to grab everyone's attention, "Guys, we need to act quickly before Gaurav takes over this kingdom. It is in our best interest to damage all of his sources of–"

My words halted as my skin turned pale like ice. A really smooth left hand had found it comfortable to hang on a prince's body, while the other hand grasped my collar.

"You should take a chill pill sometimes," Ishwar said with her seductive mouth close to my ear, almost causing me to pass out. However, she didn't seem to care at all. "Throughout history, princes are known to have women as their aids. You really are something, Rajah. Try fixing yourself before fixing the whole country. I will gladly help you get used to talking to women."

"..."

'Someone, get this scary woman off me!'

My uncle quickly answers my prayer, "Don't do that to him, Ishwar. There are a few ways to help him talk to women. Nonetheless, that is not important right now. We should look for ways to appear as heroes to the public."

Everyone nodded at the end of those words. As of now, I am a sexual assaulter who should be stoned to death a billion times. However, my luck with women wasn't swinging close by.

Ding-!

A mechanical chime rang in my left ear. A translucent blue screen formed from the black ear-bud, and a video I had no clue about started playing.

In the video, I was seen selling our land and people to foreigners from overseas at a shore unknown to me. Not only that, but once the deal was completed, I wiped a few of the Indians on their backs, leaving one of them dead.

"Damn it!" I cursed, 'I will never harm an Indian because of my own greed. That bastard Gaurav really is testing my limits. I wish there was a way to end this one-on-one without involving innocent people.'

Sunil answers my thoughts again, "That will appear as difficult to do, my dear boy. Gaurav might not be the one to face you in general."

He sighed and added, "Follow me, boy. You should have listened to me when I suggested joining the military."

I had no choice but to follow my uncle as he ascended the stairlift that led to the floating tank helicopter that blended in with the clouds. When we arrived, Sunhil quickly took control of things.

"Enter auto-drive mode and take us to Guntaki. Make sure the stealth mode is activated. This is a secret mission and I don't want people messing that up."

[Safe path to Gunt aki has been found. You will reach the destination in T-5 hours.]
