Both Aditya and Abhinav were very surprised to find all those injured people to be healed within a matter of seconds. That was truly magical!

s.h.i.+v carried Ira on his arms as he headed over to a tent. She looked so pale and she was unconscious.

The people were in utter bewilderment. She saved their lives, but somehow there was a presence of disagreement in the air. Even though she saved their lives they felt a little scared towards her. Unable to express their disagreement they all just stood silently and continued to observe the situation.

Aditya and Abhinav followed s.h.i.+v into the tent. Abhinav examined Ira once again.

"Her pulse looks fine now. Only her complexion is so bad. I will provide her with the necessary medicines."

"s.h.i.+v, just what in the world is happening here? How was she able to heal them all instantly? Just, what is she?"

Aditya was worried, now that he thought about it, there was nothing that he knew about that girl...

First time they met her, she appeared out of nowhere and helped them escape, then before they could even thank her, she vanished into thin air.

The second time, she once again appeared before them like a pa.s.sing wind and there were actually some people who were actually searching for her and she even gotten herself kidnapped.

Aditya started to feel uneasy about all the mysteries that was surrounding Ira... He didn't give it much thought before, but after witnessing that scene, he couldn't help but want to know what was her true ident.i.ty.

s.h.i.+v sensed his uncertainty, he also once found her to be mysterious but not anymore, as she already told him about her, she practically entrusted him with all of her secrets and worries...

And s.h.i.+v was not sure whether he could tell Aditya and Abhinav what he knew of her. Since it was something that only she had to make a choice. If she wants to tell them, he will be more than happy to support her from behind and if she doesn't want to talk about it to anyone, he was happy to oblige by her wishes.

All he wanted for her, was to choose a choice that would make her happy.

"Believe me, she is no spy or an enemy. If I am right, she might be one of the descendants of Family of Varma..."

s.h.i.+v was shocked for a moment when Abhinav explained to Aditya about her. He was so shocked that he couldn't even believe his own ears.

....

The family of Varma had been ambushed and ma.s.sacred twenty years ago. The battle between the family of Lal and Varma was so intense that it left a mark on the pages of history as the most b.l.o.o.d.y battle of Surasena.

Anyone who was born and brought up in Surasena would definitely be aware of that bloodbath that happened twenty years ago.

There was something that made no sense regarding their ma.s.sacre. The Varma's are very quiet, they always prefer to be left alone from all the worldly affairs. They were all well known for their excellent swordsmans.h.i.+p, intellect and stunning appearance. But to everyone's surprise, there were only a few people who had actually seen any one of them...

Why was there a reason for those people to be killed? That question always remained a mystery.

After the demise of the Varma's, the people of Lal's gained more power and position on the royal courts. They were even given all sorts of privileges and they were treated as equals of the G.o.ds, who were descended on the earth.

The only thing that the Lal's feared was the Varma's and their outstanding powers. They knew of something that the rest of the world was not aware of. The Varma's had a type of special power that was being pa.s.sed on to the pure descendants for ages and it was very important for them to be deeply hidden and protected well.

They feared that if those powers were made to be known to the entire world, there might be some sparks of chaos and undeniable war.

That was something like a dark and heavy secret that they carried. But somehow the Lal's came to know of their secret and feared them for their powers which led to the ma.s.sacre of that entire clan.

.....

"How can you be sure that she is one of them? Weren't they all killed in the most crude way??"

Aditya's curiosity took over him as he couldn't help but ask that question to Abhinav. s.h.i.+v looked up at him Abhinav. He also wanted to know the answer because if all those things that Abhinav said was true, then it could mean that Ira was not aware of who she was.

"I know, because when I was a kid, I have spent a lot of time with her. The moment I saw this little brat, she resembled Lady Mia. But still, I had my doubts. But... when I saw her transform just then, I couldn't believe my eyes. She looked exactly like Lady Mia. You guys do know who she is right??"

s.h.i.+v was still thinking long and hard. He still couldn't believe it all. But he continued to listen patiently to all of it.

Aditya answered him as if it was something obvious.

"Ofcourse, we know who Lady Mia is. She led the battle against the Lal's in her father's stead and she was even married to your royal father. Technically speaking, Lady Mia was your step mother."

Abhinav nodded his head in agreement. s.h.i.+v was not sure how to react as all of those things were just confusing him more and more.

"She went to that battle right after she gave birth to her child with my royal father. We tried to find the child, but the child was nowhere to be found. All we knew was the gender of the child. I have never seen her before. Somehow all of these connects well with Ira. I don't know how but still somehow, something is missing to finish this puzzle. If... if, all of it was true... if Ira is actually Lady Mia's child... then... that might make her my step-sister..."

All those informations that they received that day made them so confused to process them all.

Abhinav hit his face with his palm as he looked so tired from all that thinking... Once again s.h.i.+v and Aditya were shocked to death...
