At mughal kingdom

In ayra's chamber

The first rays of the morning sun filtered through the elegant windows of Princess Ayra's chamber.

The palace was still quiet as the kingdom slowly awakened.

Princess Ayra sat on her prayer mat, her hands raised in dua.

"Alhamdulillah," she whispered softly. "Ya Allah, thank You for helping me achieve 98% in my exam ."

"Thank you for blessing me with knowledge, strength, and the people who support me."

"Please keep me humble and guide me to do even better in the future."

A peaceful smile spread across her face as she finished her prayer.

She knew that success was not something to be arrogant about but something to be grateful for.

After folding her prayer mat, Ayra glanced at the report lying on her desk and smiled proudly. Months of hard work had paid off.

..........

Princess Ayra was peacefully walking through the palace gardens when a loud crash echoed from the royal kitchen.

"What in the kingdom happened now?"

Princess ayra rushed inside and found the servants standing frozen.

Flour covered the floor, the walls, and even the royal cat.

At the center stood Princess Ruhana, trying to look innocent.

"Princess ruhana... why does the cat look like a ghost?"

"I was helping the servants bake a cake."

One servant whispered, "princess ayra, princess ruhana mistook the flour sack for the sugar sack."

Another servant added, "Then she tried to fix it by adding more sugar... without checking if it was salt."

Ayra burst out laughing.

Just then, a servant carried the finished cake into the hall.

"The cake is ready!" A servent said everyone took a bite.

The room went dead silent.

The royal cat sniffed the cake and walked away in disgust.

"Even the cat refuses to eat it!" Princess ayra spoke.

The servants struggled not to laugh.

Ruhana crossed her arms.

Ruhana: "Fine! If nobody likes my cake, I'll eat it myself."

She took a huge bite and instantly made a face.

Ruhana: "Who put salt in this?"

The entire kitchen exploded with laughter.

"You did!"Princess ayra reminded her.

For the first time that day, even the servants saw Ruhana laughing at her own mistake.

And from that day on, the royal kitchen one new rule:

"Princess Ruhana may enter the kitchen only under royal supervision."

"You were always like this in kitchen princess ruhana"

"I know no need to remind me"

Princess ruhana said as she knew how bad chef she was.

" Ok as u say but I still remember the potato cutlets you made using mutton powder rather than gram masala"

Both of them laughed silly, for a moment they forgot all the rivalry they share.

"Childhood was nice we only fought for toys not for the crown,throne and everything."

Princess ayra said deep in thoughts.

Princess Ruhana's smile slowly faded into a thoughtful one.

"Perhaps," she said softly, looking out of the kitchen window, "back then we saw each other as sisters before we saw each other as rivals."

Ayra remained silent for a moment.

The setting sun painted the palace walls in shades of gold and amber, and for the first time in years, the silence between them felt peaceful rather than uncomfortable.

"We can't go back to those days," Ayra said gently, "but maybe... we don't have to keep fighting like this forever."

Ruhana glanced at her sister, surprised by the sincerity in her voice.

A faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Maybe."

It wasn't forgiveness. It wasn't a promise. But it was a beginning.

The two sisters stood side by side as the evening breeze drifted through the open windows.

No arguments followed, no sharp remarks, no hidden competition.

Just a quiet moment shared between two sisters who remembered what it felt like to be family.

As they walked out of the kitchen together, their shoulders brushing ever so slightly, neither moved away.

And for the first time in many years, the distance between them seemed a little smaller than before.

In London

It was weekend and as a young man ihan wanted to roam around on his bike and have a chill day, while wandering through the streets of London, Ihan accidentally overhears a suspicious conversation involving a powerful businessman who seems to be planning something against the Mirza Empire.

Ihan was gonna take a action right there on the spot but remembered that his brother said not to mess up with anyone when he is without security.

Later when he came back home ihan tells Yasin whatever he has heard.

At first, Yasin dismisses Ihan's concerns, believing he may have misunderstood the situation.

However, when strange incidents begin occurring around them, Yasin realizes his younger brother may have been right.

The new day arrives in Mughal kingdom

It was the day of celebration,The palace was decorated with golden lanterns, musicians filled the halls with music, and people from all over the kingdom came to congratulate Princess Ayra.

But while everyone was celebrating, a group of ministers sat in a private chamber, their faces dark with displeasure.

"Today she scored 98%, so everyone forgot what she did," one minister said

.

"Rules are rules. If a princess can break them without consequences, what example does it set?" another replied.

The oldest minister remained silent before saying, "The princess is intelligent, but intelligence alone does not make a future ruler."

"Let us see if she can handle responsibility."

While the elders were talking princess ayra walked through the gathering with a bright smile on her face.

Instead of joining any dances or performances, she spent her time greeting the people who had come to celebrate with her.

She wore a ballgown which

is fully covered in crystals, sequins, and diamond-like embellishments that catch the light, with long fitted sleeves and a voluminous skirt.

Princess ayra paired it with a matching hijab and niqab, with a heavily beaded veil that extends into a long train.

The whole look is modest yet ultra-glam.

Ayra outfit

Princess Ayra's face glowed with happiness as she walked through the beautifully decorated palace gardens.

Golden lanterns hung from the trees, casting a warm light over the celebration.

Instead of dancing or taking part in anything she believed was inappropriate, Ayra spent her evening with her family and the people of her kingdom.

She visited every table, greeting guests with a smile and thanking them for attending.

Children excitedly gathered around her, eager to speak with the princess who had scored 98%.

"Your Highness, how did you study so well?" a young girl asked.

Ayra chuckled softly.

"By working hard, making lots of mistakes, and asking Allah for help."

The children laughed, and soon she was sharing stories and sweets with them.

Later, Ayra joined her parents and grandparents, listening to stories from their younger days.

The royal family laughed together as the elders recalled amusing memories from the past.

When the feast was served, Ayra enjoyed the delicious food and made sure special meals were sent to the guards, servants, and poor families invited to the celebration.

As the night continued, she stepped onto the palace balcony.

Looking at the joyful faces across the kingdom, she felt grateful.

The King approached her.

"Are you enjoying your celebration, my princess?"

Ayra smiled brightly.

"Very much, Abbu.

Seeing everyone happy is the best gift I could have received."

The King placed a proud hand on her shoulder.

"Then you truly deserve this celebration."

Ayra looked up at the star-filled sky and quietly whispered, "alhamdulillah".

"Abbu" princess ayra softly said as no royal people were there only dad daughter.

"Ji mera bacha"

Ayra lowered her head a bit and spoke.

"Abbu thank you for believing me and giving a chance to prove myself,when the entire kingdom doubted me, you stood by my side."

"When everyone said a princess couldn't do it, you trusted me. Today, these marks are not just mine-they belong to you as well."

"Thank you for always supporting me and I know you have broke many royal rules just for me.." tears filling her eyes she added. "and wrote new one for me thank you so much abbu"

"You never had to prove your worth to me, my kiddo.

From the day you were born, I knew you would be my pride.

Today, you proved it once again.

Breaking those rules was important, bacha, because they were meant to change with time.

This is a new generation, and I'm grateful that you helped me understand that and gave me the courage to change. I couldn't be prouder of you, my child."

Ayra smiled through her tears and gently hugged her father.

In London at mirza empire

It was a busy morning in London.

Employees were focused on their work when Yasin, decided to do a surprise inspection of different departments.

As expected, everyone immediately became serious and nervous when they saw Yasin walking through the office.

Meanwhile, Ihan entered carrying a cup of coffee and a box of snacks.

Yasin: "Why are you carrying snacks during office hours?"

Ihan: "To boost employee morale, brother."

A few employees tried to hide their smiles.

As Yasin checked reports and questioned managers, Ihan quietly walked around offering snacks to the staff.

One nervous intern accidentally dropped an important file.

Before the poor intern could panic, Ihan helped him pick up the papers and joked,

"Don't worry. If dropping files was a crime, I would've been sentenced to life imprisonment."

The employees laughed, instantly relaxing.

Yasin shook his head and spoke.

"You're supposed to be helping me inspect the office."

"I am helping. You're checking productivity, and I'm checking happiness." Said ihan.

The workers couldn't help but smile.

Yasin tried to remain stern, but he ended up hiding a small smile before continuing the inspection.

By the end of the day, the employees had survived Yasin's strict inspection and enjoyed Ihan's lighthearted company, making it one of the most memorable workdays at Mirza Empir.

At maraths kingdom.

King ordered prince yusuf that he wants prince Yasin and prince ihan in maratha kingdom soon.

Prince yusuf sat on his throne in the royal court of the Mughal Kingdom, his expression stern as he looked at the royal advisor.

"Contact Prince Yasin immediately."

The advisor bowed.

"As you say prince yusuf."

Moments later, a video call connected to London, where Prince Yasin and Prince Ihan were attending important business meetings.

"Assalamu Alaikum, prince Yusuf." Yasin greeted respectfully.

Prince Yusuf nodded.

"Wa Alaikum Assalam. I will not waste time.

King wants both of you to leave London and arrive in the Maratha Kingdom as soon as possible."

Yasin frowned slightly. "The Maratha Kingdom, prince Yusuf,? Is everything alright?"

"There are matters that require the presence of the Mughal prince,"prince Yusuf replied.

"This is not a request. It is a royal command."

Before Yasin could answer, Ihan leaned toward the screen.

"Prince yusuf, can we at least know why we're being sent there?"

King Yusuf gave him a knowing look.

"If I told you everything now, there would be no surprise left for you, Prince Ihan."

"Ihan groaned dramatically. "That's not fair."

Yasin shot his younger brother a warning glance, making him immediately straighten up.

"We understand, prince Yusuf," Yasin said.

"We will conclude our business in London and depart for the Maratha Kingdom."

"Good," King Yusuf replied. "And Yasin..."

"Yes, princes Yusuf ?"

"Keep an eye on prince ihan".

"Whenever Ihan is involved, trouble arrives before he does."

The entire court struggled not to laugh.

"Prince yusuf!" Ihan prot

ested.

A rare smile appeared on prince Yusuf's face.

"Travel safely. I expect both princes in the Maratha Kingdom soon."

The call ended, and Yasin slowly turned toward Ihan.

Ihan raised his hands innocently.

"What? This time I haven't done anything."

Yasin sighed.

"That's exactly what worries me."
