Unlike the typical ones, she faces a lot of hardship in her life and finally moulds into a sanguine and serene lady. Hope you have a good reading. The story goes........

Sarina was the princess and ruler of a small nation called Victoria. She was the perfect example of the 'BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL'. She was one among the thousands, a rare pearl of the ocean bed. But this is only one side of the coin! She was an unblemished ruler and the despot of her destiny. The whole province was under her sway. She was an uncompromising, dogmatic and a tough queen but her reign was cherished by each and every soul of Victoria. Her rule was a very effective one and this phase sustained till THIS happened....what was that?..... Keep reading to check that out....

As usual, like the other queens, she fell for a charming prince-Savan. They became pretty intimate as time lapsed and this prevailed for sometime. They, like the other soul mates, rejoiced every bit of their dalliance. But Sarina was very possessive by nature and Savan was the apple of her eye. She couldn't tolerate people even casting glances at him. Such was her passion.

But one fine day, she saw the royal maid exchange glances, and finally discovered that he had an affair. Tempers were rising and Sarina was shell-shocked. She could feel it in each and every cell of hers. She felt totally swindled and trembled due to Savan's ingratitude. Her anger and fury came over her and she just had to blow up. She started to hate him with a vengeance and decided to take revenge. After all she was supreme and her wish was the ultimate.

So without even a trial she imposed a death sentence for Savan and his head was chopped right before her and she had the nerve to witness that. As a consequence she was declared the most brutal and beastly ruler. The people who stood for her now confronted her totally. This took such a wild turn that, assassination campaigns were organized and Sarina was literally chucked out of her own province.

The irony still remains that none of them even made an attempt to understand her feelings. No one stood beside her, all betrayed her. I don't mean to say what she did was right but she was justified on her part at least. It was just a sudden impulse that sprouted in her, to kill him and she didn't have any intentions. This part of the truth was not at all considered and remained dormant. They just got to exploit her thoroughly and didn't care the least bit for it. What will Sarina be in the future? Will she be the same barbaric lady or will she be someone deviant? What has relationship got to do in the story? Many such questions to be answered. Just continue reading.

So Sarina was utterly disgraced and humiliated. She had to strive hard to lead a life. She finally chose to leave her hometown and started to roam about. An appealing queen reduced to the status of a nomad- isn't this catastrophic? But Sarina was a very daring lady. She retained her mental courage and knew she could win over her fate. As she was going through her long, tedious journey, she spotted an abandoned baby which was looking really, indeed really pathetic. The baby's face reflected her own misery and she was also desperate to have a companion, hence decided to take the baby along.

Now the tides changed. She gradually started to pour all her affection and love on the baby which she called- Karin. She practically started to live for her and felt that Karin was a part of her. She being a queen was a stalwart and a brilliant archer and this is the way she found her living. She slowly came out of the cage of rage and fury that restrained her from leading a happy life. She was extremely delighted for who she was and truly rebuilt herself as a devoted, calm and tranquil mother.

Doesn't this truly depict an entirely peculiar Sarina? She got to know the value of love and life. She felt small for what she did and shivered with shame. She then resolved to apologize in public and she did so. Then afterwards she was proclaimed the ULTIMATE queen once again. But now her rule was the BEST in all aspects. Her reign flourished and her story created history.

Just think! If Sarina hadn't secured the relation of a mother, history wouldn't have happened. So the family ties bound her emotionally and changed her attitude. If THIS hadn't happened, she would've been another unsuccessful women in the world. So I hereby conclude my story emphasizing once again that, relationships truly have magical and enigmatic powers.
