THEY were lost for words, and for a split moment couldn’t say anything, couldn’t find suitable words to say. It was unbelievable.
“Truly Vidya and her mother are so pathetic, how could they think of stealing from the royal family huh?” Zaina finally found her words.
Prisha snorted.
“Hmph… hmph. Like seriously! I’m astonished”, she said, dropping her phone.
“I am more than astonished Prisha. But wait, how did you know she was gonna put on that gown? Infact, how did you know the day she puts it on was the day she was gonna tell Roshni of her next plans?” Zaina asked, looking at Prisha.
She shrugged her shoulders.
“Well, I just know, maybe coincidence or something”, she replied. How was she going to explain to her that she has powers in her royal ring, and the powers had directed her to do that? She decided not to.
“You are indeed a genius Princess”, she applauded.
“Well, thank you. But we need to know how to stop this plans of Vidya, and catch her red handed”, she said.
Zaina nodded.
“Yeah, catch her in the act”, she concurred, “I think we should involve Tulsa, and let him know what to expect”, she said.
Prisha looked at her. She had never really thought in that direction.
“How?” She asked.
“Tulsa should know what to expect, accept the invitation and go in there. Take the spiked drink and then let her do her thing, at the minute she is about striking, we barge in and catch her red handed”, Zaina said intelligently.
Prisha nodded all the while Zaina spoke. Then she clapped her hands in applaud, smiling.
“Wow! Brava! Brilliant idea!” She exclaimed.
Zaina smiled.
“That is just what to do Princess”, she said.
“Yeah, and I even think Tulsa should go in there with a cam and secretly mount it in a good place to capture everything that is going to happen, for evidence”, Prisha said.
“Great! Or better still, go in there and mount it in a strategic position, before she invites him in. A guard can do that for you”, Zaina said.
Prisha laughed.
“My gee! Two heads are really better than one. God! You would pass for a private investigator, I mean it”, she said and they bursted into laughter.
“Good. Thank God she is tired and wants to leave, we will then make her leaving a memorable one for her”, Zaina said, laughing.
“Absolutely, since she wants to leave, we would make it easier for her. But seriously never knew her mom could plan such, I thought she was kind of different”, Prisha said, making a face.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Kind of, mark that word, kind of. She isn’t different”, Zaina said.
“Wow!” Prisha got up, “I think we need to make a toast to this nearing victory, let me get glasses, and wine”, and she began walking out of the room dancing, leaving Zaina laughing.
……Two Days Later……
Vidya bent over the sleeping man on her bed shaking, an iPad in her hand as she shivered. She was trying to use the man’s finger print to unlock the iPad.
She tried almost all the fingers, and finally it opened. Smiling, she stood up straight and began operating on the iPad, glancing outside the window at intervals.
She took a pen from the table and was about copying something from the iPad into the paper when her door bursted open, and she flinched, standing straight.
Looking towards the door, she almost passed out. It was the Princess, Zaina and some palace guards. They walked into the room and closed the door behind them.
She was shocked. When had they arrived the palace, and without her knowledge? Holy crap!
“Hey, surprise… surprise”, Prisha said to her, smiling and walking further into the room.
Out of fear, Vidya quickly dropped the iPad and pen on the table, she was visibly shaken. Their eyes moved there.
“My… My Prin… Princess”, she stuttered.
Prisha nodded as she spoke.
“Yeah, your what? Your prin?” She laughed out.
“Okay, who do we have here?” She asked and went over to the bed to have a proper look on the man lying on the bed. She gasped.
“Tulsa? What is he doing in your room, and whose iPad is that?” Prisha asked and picked up the phone, then looked at it. Her eyes widened.
“What! This is obviously where all information about the royal accounts are contained”, she said and showed it to the others in the room, then handed it over to one of the guards.
“What was it doing in your hands? And why is this man sleeping here, on your bed?” She demanded.
Vidya felt her tongue tied by the cat, the cat suddenly got the almighty Vidya’s tongue, and all she could do was stutter.
Zaina laughed.
“Come on Prince’s betrothed, talk”, she said.
“I… I was… I…”, she just continued stuttering. Jeez! She was doomed. How and why did this get to happen this way? She was almost done with this plan.
“Hold on, were you planning to steal from us?” Prisha asked.
She said nothing, but only looked on helplessly.
“That is it. You almost stole from the royal family huh”.
“A thief in the palace!” Zaina exclaimed.
