BLOOD SHED

The entire garden was filled with corpse of monsters. The place looked like hell. As we moved further, we found veer and atur resting under the tree. We rushed towards them. Atur seemed in unconscious state.

"Veer, what happened?"

"Yesterday there were more monsters, the crown prince killed more than hundred monsters. He fought till dawn, he went exhausted and lost his conscious"

I went near atur and examined his body.

"I think he is perfectly fine, veer took him to the castle and treat him. We will return soon"

"But, aaranya how can I leave both of you alone, the monsters may arrive again"

"We will be fine veer, take atur to the castle, quick"

"But, aaranya..."

"Please, veer"

Then veer moved to the castle with atur. We further went deep in to the garden and looked the surroundings.

"Stella, it looks like the whole clan of fire monsters were killed"

"Yes, aaranya, atur might killed more than hundred monsters"

Then we soon reached near the pine forests.

"Aaranya, it won't be safe for us to go there alone, we may end up surrounded by monsters. We should come here with knights"

Then we returned to the castle. We met the lord asur and explained him everything.

"Then ok aaranya, you and stella can go to the pine forest tomorrow, I will order some knights to accompany you. But if you found anything dangerous you must return as soon as possible, ok nah?"

"Ok father, thanks for giving me a chance"

"I had strong faith in my daughter-in-law. She is talented"

"Thanks for the compliment, father"

After that, me and stella collected some jasmine and prepared more bottles of jasmine flavoured cologne. We still didn't know if our guess was correct, but I can't sit calm on seeing those innocent monsters getting killed. I almost spent the day with stella.

"Stella, I felt somewhat tired, I wanna look for atur and rest with him"

"Ok, aaranya, we can meet tomorrow, bye"

I moved away from that place and went to my house. I tried to enter inside but I found that something blocked my entry. I knocked as strong as I could.

"Aaranya, the crown prince is vexed by your behaviour"

I turned back and found veer standing there.

"What? I should be the person to be vexed, he is the one who drugged me"

"He felt that it might be dangerous for you, but without his acknowledgement, you asked permission from the lord to go the pine forest. The prince went furious by your action"

"Veer, the monsters seem innocent, they too have a family. I'm just trying to find some other ways to stop them. Why can't he believe me? can't he give me a single chance?"

"No, aaranya, it's not like that, he is just worried about you"

"Ok, ask him to open the house, I wanna meet him"

"But, aaranya he said that he like to rest alone"

"I hadn't seen him from morning, please veer, ask him to open"

"But.."
