Rage of the Royal Blood – Vengeance Tied With Legacy
EPISODE 4
The air was thick with heat and dust as Abhimaan’s SUV cut through the narrow road of Padrauli village, a quiet settlement tucked between sugarcane fields and forgotten history.
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
*gets out from car*
He stepped out, dressed in a crisp white shirt and black slacks, sleeves rolled to his elbows. He had came to resolved a long-standing land conflict—something his father had asked him to handle personally.
But as he stood near the jeep, his mind was elsewhere.
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
Why this feeling? As if something bad is happening *mumble*
His fingers itched with anxiety. His chest had felt hollow ever since—ever since Veidehi left the palace without a word.
He hadn’t spoken to her much, but her silence had weight. Her presence had filled the corridors like old music. And now, the absence echoed louder than words
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
forget it maybe I am overthinking.
Just then the rain started pouring heavily as if it was crying
Shit!! *about to get into his car*
just then his eyes fell on crowd
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
What's going on there?
The rain smelled of earth and danger
Thunderclouds rolled in above the crooked village roofs, but Veidehi barely noticed.
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
*silent*
Her eyes were swollen, her cheeks stained with tears that had dried hours ago.
Around her, the crowd whispering with accusations.
*She tempted Bhavar—what woman lives alone in a stranger’s house?*
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
*close her eyes* (why God, why me?)
But none of their words pierced her deeper than her silence
Bhavar Singh, the village sarpanch’s arrogant son, stood tall beside the mandap hastily being prepared.
BHAVAR SINGH (MUKHYA'S SON)
*smirk looking at her*
His face held that same smugness she had seen in the shadows before he tried to ruin her. Now, in front of everyone, he was twisting the story into his favor—painting her as a seductress, a shameful outsider, an obligation that must be cleansed
Veidehi closed her eyes, every heartbeat screaming inside her chest.
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
(This is not how it ends. This cannot be how it ends.)
the pandit started to chant the mantras
A voice cut through the storm like a blade.
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
*looks at the direction*
*eye widened*
It was Abhimaan. The same man who saved her before and maybe- just maybe he will save her again
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
what's going on here? *jaw clenched*
His eyes were no longer calm—they were embers, glowing, dangerous. The crowd parted in fearful reverence. Even Bhavar flinched
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
*went towards veidehi*
He walked toward Veidehi with long, steady strides.
When he reached her, he knelt—not to beg, but to lift.
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
*held her hand*
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
*looking at him*
He helped her to her feet gently, like she was made of glass and memory.
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
what happened? Why are you here in this condition? *asked gently*
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
*eyes welled up with tears*
She doesn't know why she was feeling save because of him
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
tell me *cup her face*
BHAVAR SINGH (MUKHYA'S SON)
What are you doing? can't you see we are getting mar-
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
*turn to him* one more word and I'll cut off your tongue *dark voice*
BHAVAR SINGH (MUKHYA'S SON)
*flinch*
No one dare to say anything
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
*turn to veidehi*
tell me what happened. I am here *gentle tone*
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
*point a finger on bhavar* He..he tried to for..ce me and now the..they are getting to married to him *sobs*
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
*jaw clenched*
Then he turned to the village mukhiya
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
What is happening here?
his voice low but crackling
RATANLAL SINGH (MUKHYA)
She’s to be wed. The panchayat decided.
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
To him? *gestured sharply toward Bhavar*
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
This man tried to force himself on her. And you reward him? *low dark voice*
BHAVAR SINGH (MUKHYA'S SON)
She has no family, no name, no husband. What dignity will she have without one? *said instantly*
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
*exhaled long and slow
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
If name and dignity is what she needs... then she’ll have mine *voice shifted quiet but deadly*
Gasps rippled like thunder.
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
*eyes widened* What are you saying…?
But he was already reaching to vermillion box
The rain fell harder now, making everything more still, more breathless
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
*open the box*
He opened a small silver box. Crimson powder.
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
*stepped back instinctively* Abhimaan—don’t do this. You don’t have to—
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
I do *said stepping forward*
Because they don’t understand mercy. They understand power. And this…
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
…is power they won’t question.
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
*shake her head*
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
*looks at her*
He looked at her—really looked at her. Her soaked hair, the trembling in her shoulders, the fire buried beneath her fear.
Then, gently, he reached forward and parted her hairline.
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
*fill her hairline with vermillion*
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
*close her eyes*
And in front of every accusing eye, he marked her with vermillion.
A hiss passed through the crowd
BHAVAR SINGH (MUKHYA'S SON)
You!!
Bhavar took a step forward—but Abhimaan didn’t even glance at him.
Next, he removed the black and gold chain from his wrist. It shimmered with raindrops—
The mangalsutra his mother had blessed for his future bride. A ritual he never thought he'd fulfill. Not like this.
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
*open her eyes and stare at him*
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
*tied the nuptial chain in her neck*
his hands were steady as he tied it around Veidehi’s neck.
The weight of the chain felt like truth—raw, sudden, irreversible.
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
It’s done, She’s my wife now. *looks at ratanlal*
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
now she is Veidehi Abhimaan Raghuwansh *cold and deadly voice*
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
Veidehi Abhimaan Raghuwansh *mumble*
BHAVAR SINGH (MUKHYA'S SON)
She was supposed to marry me *said angrily*
ABHIMAAN RAGHUWANSH (ML)
*held her wrist and took her from there*
VEIDEHI RAJVANSH (FL)
*looks at his hand*
