With a mocking look towards the Royal family, she faced the Prime Minister and said "I challenge on the grounds that the Prince Rishab is not the rightful heir." And the commotion around them grew "Because this fraudulent Christmas Prince is not the blood of the late King!"
The reporter looked around her as fear took over her, not only for her identity but for the Royal family too.
Rishab who was standing on the stage looked confused with a look saying 'What's happening?' As Pakhi who was by her mother looked shocked and stunned.
Getting on his feet, putting the scepter on its place, he continued to listen what his his ex-flame has to tell more.
Pulling out the document, holding it facing everyone "This document states that Prince Rishab is in fact adopted!" She finished as Sultan looked at her happily with crowd murmuring in background.
Getting down from stage, Prime Minister showed his hand asking for that document "Let me see it!" He said in order to check it.
Passing the paper to him, she stood alongside Sultan with a victorious smile.
Reading and rereading it, he questioned "Where did you obtain it?" Facing Deepali.
"I obtained it by uncovering the scheme of a journalist!" She said making Madhu to tremble as Pakhi looked confused of who she is talking about and if it can be her friend "Posing as the tutor of the Princess!" She added looking at the lady she is pointing out.
The whole room erupted with murmurs and eyes on her, as Prince looked on more disappointed than before.
The Prime Minister who was listening attentively to the short story, turned to his right and asked "Is that true that you are a journalist?"
Bending her head, she lifted her eyes with a sorry filled orbs as she looked at the Prince "Yes! I'm!" She pronounced making his heart to shatter in zillions of pieces as the little bit trust he had on her got demolished by herself.
Pakhi couldn't say anything as she felt sorry for her friend as it's the truth which got revealed and not a lie.
Facing the Queen, showing the paper he was holding, Prime Minister questioned "And this paper, your Majesty?" With everyone looking at the Prude woman of the country.
She with her head held high "Is legitimate!" She declared and even before she could finish her line, she cried "Rishab!" and moved towards the stage seeing her adopted son get down of the stage "Please Rishab! Wait!" Was the last thing she could say before he get disappeared behind the curtains with everyone enjoying the Royal family show.
Madhuwho felt hurt and guilty, took hold of her long gown and turned on her heels and ran towards the door, leaving everyone to think whatever they want to.
However Prime Minister needed to do his loyal work, so got back on the stage but even before he could say anything, someone else opened their mouth.
"Canamaris can't allow an illegitimate heir" Deepali "To hero the Royal the one!" She finished.
Finding this situation to be favorable, Sultan got on the stage announcing "As the nephew of the King," facing the crowd "And closest male relation in the Royal bloodline," pausing for a second "I humbly present myself for fair and rightful claim to the throne of Canamaris!" He added "With Lady Deepali by my side as my Queen!" He finished gesturing his hand towards his Lady who was showing all her teeth.
With this announcement or statement of his, Queen looked hurt and cheated with their acts while the whole room went silent for a moment before acknowledging his right with a thunder of applause.
