THE world was in a stand still for a moment, as Rina and her mother couldn’t believe their ears, the Queen continued.
“I have important things to attend to, and so I have no time giving you guys a detailed explanation”, she said and called in Dean. He came in, carrying with him a parcel, a big brown envelope.
She took the parcel from him and threw it at them.
“In there are the phones I promised you guys, and an envelope containing some rupees which I’m sure gonna be enough for some time. I give you guys one day to leave this place, just one…”, she raised up her index finger to indicate, “… leave and never return to Shimla, my deal with you is done”, she said and walked out of the room.

Queen Arya was in a meeting with the women of the kingdom when the maid holding her phones rushed up to her, with one of the phones ringing.
“Your Grace, you have a call”, she said.
This was almost already disrupting the meeting, and so she took the phone from her and got up, then went outside the building.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
As she went she peeked into it and saw it was Nurse Meda, she smiled.
“Hello”, she said into the phone as she picked the call.
“Hello Your Grace, it’s Nurse Meda”, she said.
“I know, speak. Is it time?” She asked.
“Yes Your Grace, it’s time”, she replied and Arya’s face slowly broke into a smile, she smirked.
“Just go on with your work, I will be there in a jiffy”, she said.
“Okay Your Grace, we will”, she assured.
“Ugh, hold on Meda”, she called.
“Yeah?”
“Don’t forget to carry out everything as I instructed you, give them the tea, and if she refuses, sedate her”, she detailed.
“Sure My Queen”, she replied, fully aware of who she was referring to as ‘she’.
It was as if Arya knew how stubborn Rina was, and that she might not accept the tea, so they had another plan for her.
Immediately after the call, she contacted her guards and they drove straight down to the place, from the meeting hall.
She got there, in the living room to find the new born already cleaned up, and put in a baby basket, well covered with clothes, sleeping peacefully. The nurses got up as she came in.
“It is a boy, just as I feared”, Arya said looking down at the baby in the basket.
The two nurses said nothing, they just nodded. Arya admired the baby, truth be told it was a beautiful boy, looking so much like her son, infact, it was a small Raghav, and she could see some patches of red on his hair, that was gotten from his mother, Rina, who was a red haired.
She looked up from him and turned to the nurses.
“So, how are they?” She asked the nurses.
“Oh, sleeping as expected”, Meda replied.
“So, when should I be expecting them to be awake? They really need to leave immediately”, Arya said.
“In an hour’s time Your Grace”, Meda replied again.
Then the Queen’s face broke into a smile.
“Great job you two, and kudos for a job well done”, she applauded.
They smiled.
“Thank you Your Grace”, they replied in unison.
“So my account officer has already sent some rupees into your accounts, I guess you should be receiving the message now. Thanks once again”, she said to them.
They smiled out so broadly, and thanked her immensely, then they left.
As soon as they left, Arya turned to the baby in the basket and sighed.
“You are my grandson, yeah, no doubts. Adorable child. But you see, your mom is a pauper, she has no class and not worthy to be the mother of a young Prince, therefore, I can’t keep you, I’m sorry”, she said and picked up the basket, then dashed out of the house.
On getting outside, one of the guards took the basket from her and opened the car door, and she entered. Then the guard followed, and the driver. And they zoomed off.
“Have you placed the call I asked you to Dean?” Arya asked as soon as the car hit the road.
He nodded.
“Yes Your Grace, so they should be expecting us now”, he replied.
She nodded satisfactorily and looked away.
They got to their destination in few minutes, and alighted, taking the baby basket along with them. Their destination was a small house, which was well hidden in the woods.
A heavily moustached man who was standing at the door and smoking as they arrived, welcomed and ushered them in, he was ugly looking and had a husky voice.
They got in and Dean who was carrying the baby basket, dropped it on the center table, then took a stand beside Arya who had already taken a seat.
They were about five men inside, all sitted, looking dangerous, drinking and smoking all manner of things. One was smoking a hookah.
But there was just this guy, one of them who sat aloof, although he was dressed as they were but he wasn’t drinking, neither was he smoking. He was instead chewing on a gum, and eating donuts.
All the while the Queen came in, he had been glancing intermittently at the baby in the basket.
“Hmm, you’re highly welcome Your Majesty”, one of the guys spoke, he was the one smoking a hookah.
Arya smiled, nodding her head in response.
“So I hope you guys remembered the instructions?” She asked.
He nodded.
“Sure we do, sure”, he said.
“Good. Just kill the child, and leave no trace of it, no trace. I want no implications”, she said, looking into the faces of them all.
“Your Majesty we aren’t new in this, this isn’t our first time okay? We will surely deliver”, the guy spoke again, he seemed to be their leader.
She gave a satisfactory smile.
“Good. Your account has already been credited, good luck”, she said and got up.
“Momma momma, our able mama, great Queen of Shimla kingdom”, they began hailing her, bowing as they did, except the donut eating guy, he only just smiled.
She smiled at them all and then walked out of the house, Dean followed behind. As soon as they got outside, they zoomed off.
So this was Queen Arya before heading back to the house to see Rina and her mother after they had awoken.
Meanwhile, the leader of the goons held a small meeting as soon as Arya and her guards left. He tappped on the pipe of his hookah and then pushed it aside.
“We have a work at hand now, a little one though”, he said and the guys took their seats, listening.
“It’s just to get the baby in that basket killed, and buried, deep into the woods, without a trace”, he said coldly, pointing at the basket.
A hush fell on the men, as everywhere turned silent.
“I will do it, no one should worry about that”, the donut eating guy spoke up, and the guard slowly turned to him.
“You will Siddarth?” He asked and he nodded.
“Yes boss, I will”, he said and got up, leaving for the room where he normally keeps his revolvers, and different weapons.
The leader hushed him.
“Not so fast boy, you won’t be going alone”, he said and looked around, obviously looking for someone suitable to use.
Siddarth smirked.
“I can do this boss, don’t you trust me anymore?” He asked sarcastically.
The leader hissed.
“I didn’t say that. I just want this work not to have issues, I just want it to be done clean. Have you ever asked yourself what would happen if someone sees you? Let someone go with you please, to avoid implications”, he said.
Siddarth shrugged and went in. He came out seconds later to see the guy that has been selected to go with him waiting on standby, and he laughed within himself. Roy was a small case for him, he could handle the guy.
