My destiny

Part-2

Ishani (Ishan) pov

Papa told me straight to my face that I would not go with him. I will go with him no matter what. I don't want to send him there alone. I know he won't be alone there. He will have a lot of bodyguards and soldiers with him.

So I wrote a letter. I am going to sneak out the time when mamaa will be sending papa off to the borders because I am his son too. I will do what I need to do to care for him. So I went to sleep and woke up early in the morning. He is going to leave when there is still some darkness. So I got ready in 5 minutes, changed into clothes suitable for horse riding. I left that letter I wrote on the table. I packed some money and 2 sets of clothes.

I sneaked to the horse shed and took my horse. Thank God he didn't make any noise today, otherwise I would have been caught. I knew the route they were going to follow. I followed that route always half to one km behind them. Dad still caught me because they identified me after half of a day of me following them. I really can't hide anything from him.

So, after too much of argument and begging with him. He finally let me follow him. He sent a report about this to Mamaa, otherwise she would be worried. We stopped at night to rest and started again in the morning. We reached the boarder on the third day in the evening. So we decided to rest for the night.

The atmosphere was filled with strong sadness, tension and blood, but the soldiers were cheerful, trying to lighten the mood. Soldiers are always in danger of their lives, but still their view towards life is much better than normal people's. Soldiers' lives are the toughest. They fight for people without caring for their lives, but some people still disrespect them. Those people really should have shame of themselves.

I was looking around the barracks. I reached near the medical many soldiers are injured. Physicians are treating them. I just went there for moral support. I pray to god that they become healthy and will be able to meet their family members soon. Soon I returned to my tent because we needed to sleep to face tomorrow.

The enemy barracks are just half an hour away from us. The meeting time was in the morning at around 8. So I woke up early and got ready in such an outfit which made me look a bit fierce. So they won't take me lightly in the negotiation meeting even though I am in girl's attire.

The negotiation was going to be held in the middle of the battleground where the war was previously held. It was not that far from the barracks, so it was easier for the army to get there in an emergency. Both negotiation teams had 20 soldiers in the team. I stood around 7 feet away from papa. So I could get there easily, and I could hear all the things they were talking about, in case I had to intervene.

The opposing leaders were twin brothers who were around 6 feet tall. One brother had one blue eye and one brown eye, while the second brother both had brown eyes with brown skin and strong bodies. They have a bloodthirsty aura around them. It can even make some powerful warriors fear them in war. Their aura looks restrained right now. They have an air of authority around them. So nobody can ignore them.

Both sides tried to say some pleasant things to each other. To make negotiation more smooth, but it didn't help. Soon the negotiations started. They in straight way asked for half of the state of Indrapuri, which is not negotiable. So papa tried to negotiate with them. He tried to make them understand that this was not possible. They weren't ready to listen to anything. So I had to intervene.

“ This is simply not ethical, sir. This is not how things work. You can trade other things from our state which are not easily available in your state.” Everyone looked towards me. So I walked towards the table. We went back and forth over the argument even when I knew if they stayed stubborn, then our negotiation chance would be zero, and we would lose our whole state. When I thought we would lose, this negotiation would have to go the way of war. Suddenly the prince changed his mind.

The prince with two different eyes is the older one is named “Advik” while the other prince's name is “Aadi”. Advik said,“ Fine, we can think about lessening our terms of negotiation, but only on one condition, that the princess right here will have to marry us both brothers.” Now this was another bomb dropped on us. Same-s*x relationships are common in many states, even in our state of indrapuri. One person getting married to 2 brothers is not common.

Wait, what am I thinking? It's not possible before I can say anything. Papa already said we need some time to think about it. So there were two days' time to think about it. While we were coming back to our barracks, I asked “Papa, why had he asked for some time? You know, papa, I won't marry them. ”

“ Kiddo in politics, you need to think with your brain. You should reconsider this marriage for our people's livelihood. If they still want to marry after knowing you are a boy. If negotiation fails due to excessive terms, then this is the time for us to gather all our allies. Even if war is not the solution to everything, sometimes there is no other choice other than that. ” papa said.

“ Papa, I will try to consider it. I will try to think about it thoroughly. Even if i don't want this marriage. ”
