Continuation to part 1........

On the other hand, Prince cannot bear to see Nanook suffering from the pain of his missing sister. He calls Nanook to his palace and starts questioning him about his sister's identification marks, her usual activities, and any special possessions she may have had. Nanook admits to all his sister's belongings, and Prince confirms that Nanook’s sister is left-handed, has a tattoo on her left hand, and has lost her left-hand thumb finger. Then, everyone in the palace called to the king's court for an urgent situation. A lady's body was found outside the palace, and it had happened two days ago, and the face was unidentified. Upon checking the left hand, they noticed that there was no thumb finger. Everyone claimed that it was Nanook's sister's body. But during the rituals, Prince noticed that there was no tattoo present on the left hand.

This raised some suspicions in Prince's mind. On the night when the king was attacked by some strangers, he had found one of them fighting uncomfortably while swinging a sword. Then he remembered Nanook's sister having some training sessions in the kingdom, and she also had fun training with Prince a couple of times, trying to fight with right hand. He recalled the same thing where she had trouble in fighting with right hand rather than left from the night, he was attacked by them. He realized that she was still alive as the body they found did not have any tattoo. Then he realized that he had no money, jewelry, or any means of identification on that night, and no one recognized him as the king because of his appearance. So, why did they attack him when he had nothing valuable on him? It was pointless or if it was enemies who attacked him, they will not recognize him in that condition, prince understood that the only one who could recognize him was Nanook only. Therefore, he thought it was Nanook and his sister who had attacked him.

When he figured this out, he informed all the other officials in the kingdom what exactly happened to him, and they started questioning Nanook, taking him into custody. Finally, Nanook confesses that it was indeed him. Every one of them were in shock even prince don’t believe what he listened from him, Nanook family was serving the king’s family from years with loyalty and honor why these guys have done this.

Nanook revealed the real truth and betrayal behind this plan of prince assassination, days going on they seeing king getting wealthier than any other in the world and Nanook’s family is still serving for them as servants only they treated like that only, these things developed greed and covetousness and they know each and everything about the king’s properties and tressure where he is storing them as they are king’s most trusted persons both king and prince are very much transparent with them they took this as an advantage and killed king adding kind of venom in his daily intake medicines, after the sudden death of king the guards staying as security to prince has been increased so they don’t had much chance to kill prince in the palace so they created a drama of missing his sister and used that as move pulled king out from palace and tried again but he escaped, so to divert that thing they arranged a body with same identifications but missed the tattoo thing in hurdle then there helped prince’s investigation and mystery solving skills and he only protected himself.

MORAL: The uncontrolled wishing for sudden increase in acquisition of money, food, land or social value will lead us to our own demolition and when we are improving by means of wealth, we should help others too who are in need or who helped us to reach that position we should be thankful to them. Everything in our life is a reflection of a choice we made or choose, if we want a different result make a different choice and think wisely.
