The next day, Ghosty asked Prince Maan if he could borrow some horses as his wife wanted to see the Kingdom. "Ah, surely you can. I will ask the guards to accompany you as you are our guests, Prince Maan said. "No need to worry Young Lord, we will be careful on our way, Ghosty declined the need of guards.
"If it is fine by you Sir, but I would suggest that you be careful, Prince Maan warned but ghosty didn't want any guards around them in their mission so he politely refused. Prince Maan gave up and told his attendants to arrange the horses for the guests.
"So how did it go, Geet asked. "He has arranged for the horses...do you know how to ride it, He asked. "Sure, I know, She grinned. "Alright then, let's go, He said. They both too the horses and went towards the town. "Your Kingdom is beautiful ghosty, Geet said looking at the surroundings. "Thank you, He answered. "So where did you learn to ride a horse, He asked. "Oh this, my dad used to teach me and my brother, he loved them, She smiled at the fond memory of her father. "So what are we looking for, He asked. "For now grandpa's whereabouts, She said looking in a particular direction where Prince Aryan went. They slowly followed him tying their horses in a place Maan knew was safe. They were surprised to see him visiting someone . They thought to find out more once Aryan had left that place.
"He is visiting someone...may be that person was an ally to him, Geet said. "You mean to say a traitor in my own country helping a neighboring Prince, He asked. "Kind of...we can't ascertain anything as of now and we have to be careful. I can sense a spiritual aura always around us. It seems that we are being watched, She whispered. "Really...but I don't feel anything, He said. "That presence has hid yourself from you ...so you can't sense him, may be it is the person who attacked you, She said thoughtfully. "Then what should we do, He asked. "Well Ghosty that means I'm the boss and you follow me got it, She grinned. "So now that we can't follow Aryan right now, what do you think we should do, He said.
"Let's look around your Kingdom. I have only read about them in fairy tales...magical kingdoms and all and once we are back...I can't get to see all this again right, She said eager to explore the place. "Alright, then let me give you a tour of my Kingdom, Ghosty smiled looking at her excitement. The ghosty took her to the marketplace. Geet mingled easily with the people and got herself some information too . "Woah this place is huge and the people are nice, She said. "So did you got anything fruitful, He asked. "Will tell you later, She said.
The Ghosty then took her to a beautiful place in the forest. The place was full of flowers and greenery and had a beautiful waterfall there. "Wow, its beautiful, She grinned.
"You like it. It was my favorite place, I used to come here often when I needed time alone, He said. "You had an excellent choice Ghosty, I never thought such a beautiful place existed. Hey did you bring any of the grannies here, She asked. "No, neither Amrita nor the Princess knew about this.You are the first person here, He said.

"Wowiee, I loved it ...Ghosty you should have bought Granny here, I'm sure she would have loved it, She said. "I wanted to ...but then looking at her safety I decided otherwise, He said. "Okay, then let's play here, She grinned running towards the water happily splashing it. He joined her and both had a water fight, they played like little kids. Maan really enjoyed being so careless and free like a child, this girl surely was changing him and he was really happy being around her. He had started liking her non stop talks , her bossing, her childishness...everything he felt happy. "I think it might rain now, let us head back, He said. Geet pouted, "But it was fun here."We will come back another day, right now we need to head back, He said. "Ah, alright, She said.
They got their horses and went back to the castle. As they entered they saw the castle was being decorated. "Is there a celebration, She asked. "I don't know, Ghosty said. "Ah, so you two are back, Prince Maan smiled. "Sir, is there a celebration, Geet asked. "Yes, Milady, we are preparing for our annual ball, He said. "We would be happy if you two could join us in that, the Princess smiled. "A ball..., She mumbled but something clicked her and she glared at Ghosty.
"Now why is she angry, He thought. They looked at the couple who were awaiting their answer. "Surely, we would join you in this celebration. Thank you for inviting us, it is an honor, Geet bowed accepting the invitation.
"We are glad that you accepted our invitation, The Princess smiled. "Did your expedition prove fruitful, The Prince asked. "Your Kingdom is really beautiful Sir and the people are very kind. We really loved it but if you don't mind we would like to explore a little more during our stay, Geet asked. "I'm happy Milady, you liked our Kingdom and surely you can explore it as much as you want, He said. They excused themselves and went back to their room. "Why are you angry, Ghosty asked earning another glare from her. "The ball...does it ring some bells in your head, She said. "I don't get what you are pointing at, He said.
"The ball night lead to your son Prince Mayank. Ghosty was dumbfounded at that and looked at Geet in horror who only glared him.
