A Slave Who Became Emperor - 125 Coronation

Pinaka looked at Old emperor Kailash Nanda and smiled, he said,’ I invited them..but I didn’t know that they would come, please excuse me Grand father, for not informing in advance, as I didn’t receive their confirmation.. Samyukta, come let’s receive the guests..’ Kailash Nanda nodded, he quickly understood that Pinaka had a motive..

Samyukta looked at Pinaka and nodded, they both left hand in hand to receive the esteemed guests.

…..Few days back when Khalsa Khan and Maya were spending a leisurely afternoon in their palace, they received a letter. It was written by Pinaka. The letter was as follows :

Dear Emperor and Empress of Mangol,

We invite you to attend the Coronation of the crown Prince of Gandhara, Sagara Nanda. This is an important occasion for all of us both in political and personal terms. Prince Sagara Nanda is my maternal uncle. Gandhara is one of the most important empires of Hindustan. It could be considered as the wealthiest empire of Hindustan. We also wish to establish trading relationship with Mangol. This could be an important occasion to discuss the same. And in face of common enemy, United front gives us better footing.

Regards

Pinaka u0026 Samyukta Chandragupta

Emperor u0026 Empress of Chandragupta empire.

Maya read the letter and smiled. She was really missing her country and people. Mangol accepted her and she was really happy here. But one could never forget ones country of origin.

Khalsa Khan asked, ‘ so ? you wish to go?’ she looked at him and said,’ yes , very much..’ he smiled and said, ‘ I know that you miss your country..’ she looked at him and said, ‘ this is my country now..but I can’t forget Hindustan..’ he nodded and said,’ should I send a confirmation message?’ she said, ‘ no , let’s just walk in..’ he said,’ empress, we should follow the protocol..’ she said naughtily, ‘ oh ! that’s alright..let’s surprise them and see how well they receive us..’ Khalsa Khan laughed and said,’ sometimes you are too childish,’ and pinched her cheek..she smiled at him adorably….

Here they are now, waiting at the gates of the palace of Gandhara..with troops of hundred soldiers, twenty horses and ten elephants.. and they were also having caravans and camels..they traveled in nomad style..

Khalsa Khan and Maya were dressed in traditional Mangol Deels( kaftans).. with their heads adorned with crowns, the crowns had huge precious gems ,they looked fresh and ready for the ceremony, Maya was wearing beautiful gem stone jewellery.. they must have stopped the Caravan outside the city to freshen up.. Pinaka and Samyukta too were wearing their golden crowns and were smartly dressed. Pinaka said, ‘ welcome great Emperor and Empress, sorry we were not expecting you, so we didn’t prepare a welcome reception, please come, the Coronation is about to begin. ‘ Khalsa Khan said, ‘ Emperor Pinaka and empress Samyukta, we are happy that you invited us, it was your country’s daughter Empress Maya Khan’s idea to come and surprise you all ..’ Pinaka looked at Maya, her eyes were filled with mischief, she laughed and said, ‘ Emperor and Empress, thank you for inviting us, ‘ Samyukta said graciously, ‘ please follow us…we are very happy to receive you..’

Without much further ado, all four of them went into the palace. Everyone were staring at Maya and Khalsa Khan. Few royals recognized Maya,she was the greatest dancers of the country. Samyukta and Maya were competing in terms of beauty. The palace hall was adorned with three major beauties now, Samyukta, Maya and Mallika. Now walking beside Khalsa Khan, Maya looked regal and unapproachable. As soon as they came in, the old emperor greeted them and the coronation ceremony began .

Crown Prince Sagara Nanda became the Emperor of Gandhara empire.
