No pleassseee take off those detective hats 😭 and hide it in a closet... please let those super-grey-cells of yours rest!

much like a lone flower blossoming upon the steepest edges of a cliff

>> Trademark Lashy's line 😆 Truth be told, your stories are also like this.. Distinct and singular amidst umpteen routine ones.. with due apologies to other writers.. 😳

😲 🤗

Three Great Emperors had toiled hard to build the vast and flourishing legacy of the 'Mughal Empire'

>> Lashy, my mind stopped at the word Three.. Shouldn't it be Two? For a sec, I thought its going to be Salim, the protagonist and not Jalal.

Oookay ... the backdrop in this story is only 'inspired' from historical events and characters...

Having said that, I am giving you a clue... 😉

As far as I've read (aka recently) Babur and Humayun weren't refered to as Shehenshahs (Emperors)... That title primarily started from Akbar... it also says mid 1600s...so now, do the maths...

>>After reading this, I'm relaxed that Mughal empire is only for backdrop. Its going to be a new story, new dimension!! And I'll be happier if you change the leads' names.. it'd be refreshing!!

Hmmm 😛😉

>>And we so love such cliff-edged love stories

Like Kamal Hassan😆

********************************************

... setting out to seek help and support, for her people and her lands...

>> This reminds me of Jennifer Merrick in Kingdom of Dreams.. especially the last line!! 😆

But, Jennifer Merrick wasn't seeking help for her lands 😕

Till a chance stay with a complete stranger would change the course of those very plans forever!

>>So love is going to alter all her plans.. interesting!!

You think? 😆

Being the most shrewd, determined and unforgiving of the lot meant he was formidable... a force to be reckoned with... it also meant he could have owned it all - riches, power, women and fame... but, he fancied none of it...

>>Phew!! I breathed a breather at this line.. but, he fancied none of it... A workaholic, women-disinterested male protagonist falling for a beautiful, feisty female protagonist is going to be a promising love story!! 😆🤗

A breather? Why, read too many stories with a womanising protagonist lately? 😆

>>Crossed paths, mingled destinies, altered futures.. Lashy you've created enough of interest with this prologue.. waiting for chapter 1

Before bidding bye.. one tightest hug to you for coming back with a bang 🤗🤗🤗

You wrote a prologue on my prologue, Jhanu ... actually your prologue-on-my-prologue is longer than my prologue 😆

But, squishing you with a millions hugs for being you 🤗🤗🤗

Lashy is back! Lashy is back! Lashy is back. .

The most wonderful aspect of wonders is that they happen when you least expect them. 😃

Just when i had gotten to 'ja...ja...mujhe na ab yaad aa tu' mode wrt Jalal, comes this surprise.

... the most shrewd, determined and unforgiving of the lot meant he was formidable... a force to be reckoned with... it also meant he could have owned it all - riches, power, women and fame... but, he fancied none of it...

As a recluse with simple tastes, the rich life held no real appeal... power didn't tempt him... women didn't interest him... his passion was work and his only family were a few loyal friends... he had decided that he wanted little else in life...

A character with Jalal's qualities and of course his face...

Thanks lashy for reviving the magic of the happy days.

I wasn't around for NJAPA. But this time, 100% attendance.
