Poor Nandini has had too much for a day - her father's atrocious reign, state of roads and people during and after his reign, his lust for gold, insult from family members at the temple, reaction of Praja when they saw her at the temple, and now suddenly she is pushed into the schemes of Dhananand and Nayanika. And she got to see another positive side of Chandra, unlike her previous suitor who did not want her to study at all. The poor girl is so confused at this point, as to where she stands and whose side she should stay.
Yes, Nandini is loaded with so much contradictory happenings one by one that she has lost her normal power of thinking. This confusion will beget dilemma after this.
So Chandra is hiding his feelings for Nandini. He was already impressed with Nandini's valour and bravery on the Full Moon Night. Perhaps that could be one of the hidden reasons why he agreed to marry her. He tested her patience and how far she would go with her vengeance and revenge when he had the Sword Practice with her. Now he is saying that he is already aware that Nandini was the initiator of the process of conserving the books in the Library. That she was the first person who protested against the Guard who was beating the child - has already made an impression on him. So he is leaving no stones unturned in learning about Nandini, without actually letting her, or anyone for that matter, not even Chanakya, know about it. Impressed !!
In his subconscious mind Chandra has developed a natural impression for Nandini, but that is not any 'love'feelings till now. The decision of marriage was completely political and free from his personal feelings as Chandra has never learnt to think for himself and for his own feelings till now. Yes he is testing her, he is trying to know more about her, but everything he is doing subconsciously.
While Nandini herself was stumped with Nayanika's beauty, it did not seem to have made an impact on Chandra so much. That man does have some self control hmm... !!!
Obviously, Chandra does not have any interest on woman. 😆
That Chandra was sharp in observing and remembering even the names of a guy called Parikshit in a Library - he surely must have had an account of all maids and guards who are on duty of his Prisoner Wife Nandini - and the look he was giving at Nayanika - clearly shows that he has identified Nayanika as a newcomer and is the actual spy of Nand. Lets see how he plays out Nayanika's plan.
You have given a good thought on this. Wait and watch. 😃
Nayanika behaves very bold in front of Nandini. In fact, she seems to be overpowering Nandini, sometimes calling her name, sometimes addressing her Princess, controlling and instructing Nandini what to do,.. Too much for a mistress . May be her overconfidence will bring her downfall. Then it would be interesting to see how Dhananand reacts.
I heard in ancient era the status of the mistresses was very high and they used to be very accomplished lady. So I made Nayanika smart and superior who can also be commanding to the princess. Again I would like to say that just wait and watch. 😆
