The Commoner Consort: The Country's Respected Empress

Bhommi smiles eagerly "You went somewhere, didn't you?! I knew it! I looked through your soul! But for some reason I couldn't come with you, Sister Maya! Tell me! Where did you go?!".

Maya remains silent with some hesitancy as she doesn't think that Bhommi would believe what she is about to tell. Still she says slowly "To..my future..".

Bhommi stands flabbergasted "..." Oh My Goodness! You have no idea that you are the one and only person who travelled time ever! Alas! No one would know this secret just like tons of secrets buried under this Earth! Wait-.

She realizes something and asks in disbelief "How can you, Sister Maya?! I never know a person having an Incomplete Soul could achieve this!".

Maya asks with a frown "Why can't I? I too am a living life, aren't I? Why can I not do everything you do?! Why is there a discrimination?!".

Bhommi smiles sheepishly and asks timidly "That's what make the difference between us, do they? If a Cursed Soul could do everything I do, then what's the need for the Curse?!".

Maya stomps her foot in displease and asks staring Bhommi sternly "I too am asking the same thing! Why am I Cursed?! Why in the universe I was Cursed?! I do not remember doing any sin to be Cursed with an Incomplete Soul! Then why?!".

Bhommi is overwhelmed by Maya's sudden burst of emotions and stands just opening and closing of her mouth.

Bhommi finally asks in low voice "What did you see in your future?".

'What made her to think about the reason behind her Curse suddenly? Why is she angry? She didn't get angry about this fact since childhood! Why is she angry now?'.

Maya ignores her question and asks curtly "What is Forbidden Magic Spell?".

Bhommi gasps stunned "...".

She didn't expect Maya to ask such a dangerous thing out of nowhere.

'No one has mentioned about this Spell for Yugs!'.

(A Yug is a long time period- we could think it as centuries. We have a deep explanations in Indian epics. Just start from the scratch ).

Maya declares "We need to go back to The Countryside Pavilion at once. You know about the Cold Prison room, don't you? Help me close the door permanently with The Forbidden Magic Spell".

Bhommi mocks "You are still a human being here, Sister Queen! The Prince Charming outside the door would never allow you to go from this place in this Yug!".

Bhommi giggles "Do you know something? He is even swearing that he would never leave you alone now! What a pity!".

Maya blinks in confusion and worries "But we have to go. At any cost!".

Bhommi asks squinting her eyes "What did you see in your future, Sister Maya?".

Maya looks at Bhommi and thinks 'Why Bhommi was not in my future? Where was she? Can I really believe her?'.

Maya smiles with a smirk "Nothing much. I was told to close the Cold Prison with The Forbidden Magic Spell".

Bhommi nods slowly and asks "Do you know anything about the Cold Prison?".

Maya couldn't help remember the coldness on her hand that day and says "The Cold Prison..-".

Bhommi rolls her eyes "I know you don't know much-".

Maya insists stubbornly as she knows about the blood chilling past of The Cold Secret Prison "I know! The Emperor of this country locked his Consorts-".

Bhommi slaps her face "You can't believe every stories, Sister Maya! History has many stories. Every story is not the truth!".

Maya blinks in doubt "I told you what I knew.. Do you say this is not the truth?".

Bhommi shakes her head "I am not saying that this is not the truth. I am only saying that..See..To use The Forbidden Magic Spell we have to know the complete truth! The complete past about the incident! Do you know what is a Forbidden Magic Spell?".

Maya shakes her head and suddenly she felt her heart beating fast. She doesn't know whether it is due to fear or curiosity.

Ever since they started speaking about The Secret Cold Prison, Maya could feel herself getting cold.

'It might be the climate...'.

She ignores her fear as she has no idea to yield to that useless fear.

'We cannot do anything great with this fear. If you fear something, just pretend you don't. Your mind will be fooled and someday you will stop fearing it at some point! That's how I got rid of my fear on darkness! Didn't you see how the darkness could not scare me?!'.

Maya speaks irked "Can you stop questioning me? You know well I do not know anything about the Spell! Stop asking and start answering my unasked questions from now on!".

She is tired of being an ignorant! She wasted her 18 years of learning!

'I have been restricting myself madly believing my Father's lie! I will not do that mistake anymore! No one could stop me from learning anymore!'.

Bhommi clears her throat awkwardly "I.. apologize, Sister Maya. I will only answer from now on!. The Forbidden Magic Spell is a rare one but the most powerful among the Divine Magic Spells! It's told that This Forbidden Magic Spell was once known as The Queen of Divinity!".

Maya listens to Bhommi carefully and asks "What can it do? Why is it so special? ".

Bhommi giggles "You are such a weird person, Sister Maya. You tell everyone that you don't believe in God and look at you! You should have asked What are the Divine Spells at first!".

Maya purses her lips at her comment.

Bhommi giggles "You heard every stories in The Epics!-".

Maya smiles "Back to the Forbidden Magic Spell, Bhommi".

Bhommi pouts pointing the door of the chamber "I will but what do you think about the man outside this chamber?  Do you think he will leave you alone after this?".

Maya creases her eyebrows "Why? What is it-".

Bhommi smirks "He is coming back!".

Maya turns towards the door.
