Reincarnated Prince of Kaligarh

📜 Previously on Reincarnated Prince of Kaligarh:

Aryan has reclaimed Kaligarh after a full-scale siege. With the help of his elite Wolf Rider unit, spies, and relentless assault, he stormed the capital and captured the enemy strategist. Riding through the bloodied streets, he entered the royal palace and stood before the throne of his ancestors. The prince once cast out has returned—not as a child, but as a king.

SCENE 1 – ROYAL COURT SUMMONED [KALIGARH PALACE – GRAND HALL]

The sun rises over the battered city.

Inside the newly reclaimed Throne Hall, Aryan sits—not yet on the throne, but on a carved war chair beside it. His cloak drapes like shadows, his tiger Veer at his right, still bloodstained. Sena, bandaged but proud, lies curled to his left.

The court is packed.

Old Kaligari nobles, some trembling, some defiant, stand in rows. Their fates hang in balance.

ARYAN (voice cold, commanding)

You once bowed to my father. When he fell, you bowed to his enemies. And now?

Silence.

ARYAN

I give you one chance. Swear loyalty to Kaligarh—not to me, but to the land you abandoned. Or walk into exile. The gates will stay open for one hour.

NOBLE (stepping forward nervously)

And… if we refuse both?

ARYAN (sharply)

Then you'll leave with your head in a basket.

The noble bows deeply.

One by one, the nobles kneel.

SCENE 2 – THE SPY NETWORK EXPANDS [INNER CHAMBER – LATER]

Reva, dressed in black, stands with a scroll of names.

REVA

We've identified ten more nobles with ties to Varundev's agents. Two fled last night.

ARYAN (nodding)

Track them. Bring them back dead or chained. From this day, betrayal will cost more than a throne.

VIRAJ enters.

VIRAJ

Envoys from four border kingdoms have arrived. Suryapur has sent gifts. But so has Zorhaal… and I don't trust that snake-king.

ARYAN

Bring them in tomorrow. Let them see Kaligarh reborn. Let them see we are not begging for peace—we are preparing for power.

SCENE 3 – COMIC MOMENT IN THE PALACE KITCHEN [LATE AFTERNOON]

In a lighter scene, Ranvi sneaks into the kitchen looking for sweets.

RANVI (to the cook)

His Majesty fought a war… I fought hunger. Where are the laddoos?

COOK (irritated)

You ate twelve during the siege!

DEVIKA (off-screen, smirking)

He fought with his stomach, not a sword.

Ranvi jumps.

RANVI

Aunty, you're healed! You're not supposed to sneak like a ghost!

DEVIKA (grinning)

You should've been a court jester, not a general.

SCENE 4 – NIGHTFALL ON THE BALCONY

Aryan stands at the palace balcony overlooking the battered capital. Lanterns flicker across rooftops.

KAAMAYA walks up behind him. Her robes are elegant—she now leads Kaligarh's new trade council.

KAAMAYA

You're quiet tonight.

ARYAN

A king should be. There's too much noise when you rule with anger. I'm done shouting.

KAAMAYA

And yet, the world listens.

He smiles faintly.

SCENE 5 – HINTS OF THE FUTURE [ROYAL MAP ROOM – LATE NIGHT]

Aryan, now dressed in black robes, meets with his top generals, including the Wolf Rider commander and General Yaksha.

ARYAN (pointing at the map)

Half the country remains in chaos. I want full control within the next fifteen weeks. We rebuild roads, ports, cities. But first…

He circles a region on the map.

ARYAN

…we deal with the Northern Warlords. And we claim the coast.

Everyone nods.
