Hi Moni.. glad to see you here... and glad to know you got through chapter 1... lol... and very sweet of you to leave your comments here...

But, I also know you're busy... so, you don't have to review every chapter individually... if you feel like, you can just drop your comments at the end... 😊

Okay this one ' s for chapter one

Ok so it's totally a new concept and not exactly based on historical facts so i have no problem as I am not a history freak

Ok so first loved the picture in the beginning it at first sight gives a slight hint of what is going to be described in the chapter

Yes it does! The picture is a glimpse into the window of the chapter...

This is insane!' banging the arm of his chair, he arose in a kind of frenzy the court had rarely seen 'Those lands belong to the Mughal Empire...'

~So well described already creates a scene in the mind jalal raucously create the essence

Before we go on, just wanted to let you know... that the prince is not the protagonist of the story... if anything, he is an antagonist... he is the setting/era for the story... and actually, the leads are not royals at all (wanted to keep it a bit different from the other historicals which generally revolve around a royal theme) ... also, there is no Jalal and Jodha here...

The story is about two people (a heiress and a businessman/merchant) in that era where times were very troubled! 😊

Suddenly, a sympathetic hand grasped his shoulder, stopping him midway - it was an obvious effort to show support and solidarity.

~we have a new character who is irreconcilable for jalal... Interesting one of jala's cronies has been introduced

Every one is dissenting the same thing but Khali is someone different

Yes! he is close to the prince...

As they suspected, she was awake and she had been listening to their conversations about her. However, she didn't speak up. In fact, she had spoken nothing besides the bare minimum ever since.

~So here image comes in the mind of a damsel who is precariously listening to the talk... so again further the way you have described it it's wonderful although durga's face comes caricature-ishly in the mind (don't know why)

As in you have already imagined a face for Durga? 😳

And just as they'd hoped, the heiress ended up winning the third one, a nimble-looking hybrid 'Marwari' racehorse, for a reasonable price - a result of her tactics that had thrown the aggressive bidders off their game.

~Wow such great entrepreneurs, not at all impulsive (though I thought them to be in the starting) and not so opulent but durga's victory cannot be palpable

Yes they are great girls... 😳 sisters!

#Wow such an amazing chapter

Chapter 2

Wow amazing chapter shraddha

Thank you so much dear... 😳

Oh' she paused swiftly - as a mark of surprise 'How thoughtless of me...' turning aside, she addressed her chief-maid 'Gauri... the man has a long way to go... ask him if he'd like some spiced-grams for the journey?'

~Omg harka so smart , such great zeal to cease the situation, even she can be a great administrator just like durga bai

Yes... she's a diplomat.. believes in using her brains to solve problems!😃

Glancing aside before his eyes were compelled to notice her chest that was still heaving from the riding games, he continued 'By the way, we have another reason to celebrate, besides the wedding!'

~so well you have described the facial features of durga bai as if you have scrutinize them yourself, i thought there will be a love story blooming soon but to the displeasure it won't happen , never mind this will for sure get a change in the storyline, now durga's face doesn't come caricature-ishly in my mind its got human features now

Awww how sweet of you to let your imaginations flow along with the story..

From the way harka described the dream boys face , manly figure and everything was so enchanting, coming to the part Where harka is worrying about durga unequivocally tells us that something bad is Going to happen ahead

>>> yes 😭

Present day...

In the wilderness...

'You have to stay back and take care of all this when I'm gone!'

I went numb reading , hardships have to be in life , Durga coveted her life for the well being of her territory's people

Aneurysm occuring in various part of my body reading this i felt so sad ...

A lovely update

Yes.. she lost her life for the sake of her lands... fighting for it.. you'll know more in chapter 3... but, worry not it picks up from there..

🤗 thanks dear.. btw may I ask... where are you from? The phrases you're using.. is it French? Sorry I could be wrong.. just asking.. .
