Twin Royalty

Harish didn't let go of Kartik, not even when they reached the royal palace of Amrendra. He followed his twin outside of the wagon, holding Kartik's hand and squeezing it in awe and apprehension at the sight of the three-story building of gray stone decorated with vines instead of sculptures. The leaves were turning from green to orange and red, making the bulky palace with its tall, arched windows very colorful.

He followed Rohit inside, walking on soft carpets all the way up the central grand staircase and to the second floor, where Rohit opened a door for him.

"This is your room," he said with a smile. "It used to be mine, but I've moved into my wife's bedroom. Our apartments are beyond that door." He pointed at a wooden door further down the carpeted corridor. "I will let you and Kartik refresh yourselves. Tonight you will meet our father at the family table."

"Can I bring Kartik?" Harish asked, worried.

Rohit smiled. "I have welcomed him into the family, haven't I? You still have to prove me he's good-looking, though. The bath chamber is ready. See you later."

With a final wave towards the room, Rohit left to go to his own apartment.

Harish entered the plush anteroom and looked around in awe. "Where is everything?" he asked.

"If you stop trying to break my fingers, maybe we can have a look," Kartik said, amused.

"Oh." Harish let go of his hand. "Sorry," he grumbled, clapping his hands together and looking around again.

Kartik went to the door on the right and peeked beyond.

"Bedroom," he announced. "Big plush bed."

"Mm..." Harish thought about King Vijay's big plush bed and shivered while Kartik passed behind him to check the other door.

"Bath chamber!" he exclaimed, relieved. "Will you excuse me? I most certainly stink."

"Sure," Harish answered absentmindedly.

He walked to the balcony and had a look outside. The back of the palace opened on a luxuriant, unwalled garden that faded out in a forest on the right side of the balcony. Leaning on the left side, Harish caught a glimpse of the sea. The wind brought whiffs of salty air mixed with the fragrance of unknown flowers.

Harish wondered if the big room would be another gilded cage. He took a look at the bedroom – heavier curtains and more carpets, not too much like King Vijay's – then decided to join Kartik in the bath chamber. He wasn't as filthy as his lover, but he badly needed to try to relax before meeting the rest of the royal family.

Kartik was furiously scrubbing himself clean.

"I don't see any mirrors or razors, so I hope a barber will show up," he said while Harish undressed to join him in the big pool.

"I probably need a shave, too. Do you think they'll cut my hair?" he asked, entering the warm water and sitting next to Kartik who passed him the soap.

"Your twin and all the men we've met so far have short hair," Kartik replied. "Which, I guess, would make you look more manly.
