Before Madhri’s crown passed to the custodians, there were three princesses who could have adorned it. However, their doom was preordained because the three sisters loved the only Prince of Shantipur.
Neither of them knew that their sisters loved the same prince, nor did they intend to share among themselves their affection. Maybe because they feared that others might seek him out.
The eldest of the three sisters was considered the most beautiful by the people. She was an ardent believer in God and prayed every dawn with a thousand flowers. Ever since she fell in love with the prince after his royal visit, she pleaded with God to make him her husband. Though she desired him more than anything else, she was never prepared to propose her feelings.
The second sister was not considered as beautiful as the eldest; she was valued for her knowledge. She knew that she ought to express her feelings to the prince if she intended to earn his affection. So mustering her courage, weeks after the prince’s royal visit, she wrote a letter before ordering one of her maids to get it delivered by a messenger in secrecy.
