Neil said even he didn't know about it but he did say that Amar was the culprit. What happened that night was still a mystery because there were only 6 people present there according to Neil. The two men who were hired to physically assault the baby princess and then kill her, Kailash Rajput, Madan, Amar Rajput, and Abhyansh. Out of these, 4 were already dead, the only people that could help Ranveer with the truth were Abhyansh and Kailash. Ranveer was sure his brother-in-law would kill him if he asked him about Advaita Or that night again. He rememberedAbhyansh'stone slightly tremble when he narrated about what happened to his sister. No matter what, he wouldn't want to repeat it, also Ranveer knew Abhyansh in his terrible physical and mental conditionwas unable to depict Kailash Rajput's games and saw only those things that he wanted him to see.

Kailash knew Abhyansh was very smart and would realize his plan if he was in the right condition, so he got his men to injurethe beastbadly before starting his game. He took all the measures to turn the plot in his favor and Chirag Rathore and his hatred for Amar Rajput only helped Kailash in his motives. He drugged Abhyansh as per Kailash's instructions.

"Ranveer...", Ragini called bringing him back from his thoughts...

"Huh ? Yes Ragini ?", Ranveer responded coming back from his thoughts...

"I asked is everything alright, but I now know nothing is... But whatever it is, I am always there with you", Ragini said holding his palm...

"I know... And I am fortunate to have you in my life, I wish I could tell you in words how much you mean to me...", Ranveer said pulling her in a hug...

"I know Veer... I know... Okay, I'm hungry... Let's make something", Ragini said excitedly

"You mean you will watch while I cook ?", Ranveer asked making her smile sheepishly...

"Come on, I am not that bad... I'll help you...", Ragini said pulling him to the kitchen...

"By washing vegetables ?", he sulked making her laugh.

She remembered how she just washed vegetables the previous day in the pretext of helping him cook...

"Come on... Now don't be like that... That's the only thing I am good at, when it comes to cooking", Ragini said and Ranveer rolled his eyes...

"No baby... You boil the water too... Trust me the water tastes so delicious when you do it, you have magic in your hands", Ranveer mocked her and there started the bickering. Ragini mentally lauded herself for bringing him out of his misery at least for now.

After a while, Ragini and Ranveer left for the R Empire office as the workload was too much due to Abhyansh and Isha's absence. After concluding the day's meetings, Ranveer reached Ranawat palace at midnight with Avyan. He didn't return to Rajput palace as it was very late and he wasn't left with much energy to drive so far.

"You guys are back ?", Amruta asked walking towards them, she got worried looking at their tired faces, "Go and wash your hands, I'll get the dinner arranged by then", Amruta said and both of them nodded.

"You should have been asleep by now ma, why are you awake ?", Avyan asked, after Ranveer and he settled in the dining hall and Amruta was serving them.

"It's fine, I was waiting for you both, I know you guys are so tired that you would have directly slipped to your rooms without having dinner if I wasn't here", Amruta said and they didn't argue as she was right.

"Have you spoken to Anshi lately ?", Amruta asked Avyan...

"No ma, she is busy with her studies there, and these days I'm very occupied with work, and more than anything, our time difference is a problem", Avyan said and Amruta nodded...

"Okay, but don't ignore her, speak to her on a Saturday night, as it will be morning for her, and it wouldn't cause a problem even if you go to bed late, as you can sleep till late the next day, your brother wasn't here to scold you if you are late for the breakfast", Amruta said

"I will ma", Avyan said, as he didn't want to let his mother know all the issues between him and his fiance. His heart squeezed every time he thought of her... Her cordial behavior and the distance she tries to maintain every time he tries to take a step towards her is aching his heart but the fact that she ishisfiance and will be his future wife always satisfied him. He knew his feelings for Anshi were more than a mere liking but he decided to keep those at bay for now.

They both continue to have their dinner and after completion, Avyan leaves to his chamber asking Ranveer to drop his mother to her chamber on his way to the guest chambers, Ranveer nods and walks towards the west wing along with Amruta.

"Can I ask you something ?", Ranveer politely started, looking at Amruta...

"Of course Ranveer, what is it ?", Amruta asked with a gentle smile...

"Were you in touch with Chirag Rathore before the night of your daughter's killing ?", Ranveer asked bluntly... He wasn't in a situation to sugarcoat his words, he needed to know the truth as soon as possible, he knew the bits & pieces of it and it's very important for him to find the whole truth.

Amruta was taken aback at the harshness of reality but Ranveer told her how important it is for him to know the truth now and Amruta realized it's time her son too listened to her, yes, she was at fault, and she is regretting it badly, and weighing the punishment for her sins for more than 1.8 decades, along with her guilt and regret, without even getting the chance to convey the truth to her son, she was dying every second and now it's high time she put an end to everything.

"I'll answer your question Ranveer, you are right, it's important for everyone to know the truth now, I didn't know who plottedmy daughter's killing and why, but I know my son didn't spare her culprits...", Amruta trailed but Ranveer interrupted her...

"I wish he punished all the culprits Mrs. Ranawat, but the mastermind behind everything hadn't still received the punishment, but for that, I need to know everything that took place between you and Chirag Rathore days before that incident. Please, tell me", Ranveer begged and Amruta nodded with tears of confusion and agony.

After the fallout with Amar, Chirag got close to Kailash who portrayed Amar Rajput as the Villian and made him believe by showing all the letters he wrote to the other royal families instigating them against Ranawats. He also sowed seeds of doubt against Pallavi Rajput of using Amruta's innocence to reap benefits for her husband(Amar). Chirag who still loved Amruta wanted to protect her and her family. He didn't like Pratap's behavior towards her, so after sorting all this, he wanted to take Amruta away from Pratap, but first he needed to solve the issues, and on the same note, he started cautioning Amruta indirectly against Pallavi Rajput, Amruta felt his behavior very weird but tried to ignore him as she was still afraid of her husband knowing about Chirag being the one who she got engaged to in the past.

Chirag got back to Amar only to protect Amruta's family, he convinced Amar that he would help him in handling the business withRanawats, Amar didn't want to cause any inconvenience to Amruta with Chirag's presence but he didn't have any choice, as he had to give his time in handling the problems arising in their businesses abroad, and he cannot trust anyone else to deal with Ranawats fairly, but he trusted Chirag as he loved Amruta and wouldn't let anything bad happen with her family.
