You whimper slightly in slight pain. You rub your thigh, which you bruised yesterday. Unlike your sister, you did not run off to ride a horse at night. But at night you ran to the kitchen to snack on cookies. Yesterday you hit the wall, which was painful. You are sorting out blue sari. You must look perfect. You were the youngest heir, and this is the least you could do for your older sister.

You were not taken to Himolai. Your brother didn’t want you, so young, to be involved in the affairs of the Dozen, so you stayed at home.You were supported by the servants when Devi, who was morally killed, Kamal and Amrita did not come to the house. Kamal had a heavy look of grief, seeing your childish and innocent eyes. Then you were informed about the attack in the Himalayas, about the arson and murder of the families of a dozen. You burst into tears in Devi's arms,Now only you have each other. The members of the Dozen certainly didn't abandon the two girls. Vidya Basu, the Maharani of the Dozen, is like a mother to you, and Kamal is like a father. Vidya's two daughters, Saraswati and Radha, adored you as much as they adored Devi. You got along with Amrita, Kamal's younger sister, but you felt a little awkward that she had a different childhood than you with a girl who was closer to you in age.She is already engaged to a man 15 years her senior, Raj Dubey.

Five years later, the Sharma house hosts the British, who had a hand in the attack in the Himalayas and the murder of Kairas (This is of course a theory and perhaps everything is different there, but you see how tense others are), your eldest brother.A dozen are here anyway, and you already want to go to Basu’s two twins.You simply missed Saraswati's laughter and Radha's soft, motherly touch.... They haven't arrived yet... You bowed respectfully when you saw Raj and Ram Dubey, Erith Thakur. “Sweetie...” Your older sister’s voice caught your attention. You immediately go to Devi. “Come on, we need to meet the guests...” However, the elder Dubey told you and your sister not to do that, so that the guests would have to look for the two Sharmas themselves. You sigh, realizing that since you're younger, the English will treat you like a child. Well, you're ready for this. You realizing that the governor of India will come.Christian De Clere... You feel some strange premonition. Maybe your sister doesn't understand yet, but since this governor is free, then perhaps... A dozen will take advantage of this? Your 'uncle' (you've never seen him. You know his name - Anil) is still to arrive.Your sister's place as head of your family is under threat. The world is more often subject to men, and your sister is lucky.She was allowed to take power under scrutiny. And then you snort at your thoughts. Your sister clearly has an idea what kind of bride the governor will want. Her. In any case... It's not really your problem when the senior members of the Dozens are here. You just watch like an eagle. "Are you ready?" Devi asks you. You nod to your sister, ready to entertain the guests.
