Once there was a king 8 July 2022: Vasundra comes to open the cupboard and find the keys already in it. She thinks she must have forgotten them here. She opens the cupboard to speak to Sunanda, Sunanda was still inside the cupboard but Rani was also inside there. Vasundra tells Sunanda that Rani is pregnant but she has killed her child. While leaving, Vasundra chains the cupboard. Preiti comes from outside and notices the chain, she goes to call someone to break the lock.In the hall, Vasundra looks around wondering why they aren’t all morning. She wonders where her bodyguards have gone.
Preiti comes to take Raaj to break the lock. Vasundra hears their ideas, and thinks about playing another game with them. He comes to the store room with Preiti and breaks the chain. Sunanda doesn’t let him touch the jacket as this would ring the alarm in Vasundra’s bracelet. Raaj was impatient, he says he has had enough now and can’t bear that Vasundra anymore.In the hall, Vasundra awaited them with a gun. She removes the mask of Sunanda off her face. She tells Rani she took great care of Sunanda. Vasundra says she thought she would first kill Rani, her child and then Sunanda. Now it seems she must kill the whole family together.
She says she will now walk away and only press a button, the whole family would end. She says it would make it boring, and suggests a game. Raaj says Vasundra has an enmity with him and Rani, she must let others leave. She gives Raaj an option to give his life and save the rest. Raaj asks her to be clear. Vasundra tells him to take the jacket from Sunanda and save everyone. They all stop him, as she would kill everyone later on. Vasundra says she sticks to her tongue, Rani knows about it well. Rani says she doesn’t trust Vasundra at all. Raaj stops Rani from moving on, Rani says she can’t let him go at all. Raaj says they must get apart, for the sake of their family. He insists on her to stay here, live for the sake of their child.
Vasundra tells them to hurry up and decide what they have to do. Raaj announces he is ready. Rani resists but Raaj requests her not to make this all difficult for her. They hug each other. Both think about their moments with each other. Raaj get apart from her and leaves crying.Vasundra gives Raaj one minute to run away from the place and save his family. Rani was crying fallen on floor. Raaj bids a farewell to her asking to look at him for once, he is sure she would be a good mother. He runs outside the hall. Rani follows Raaj outside. Vasundra laughs saying Rani also left behind Raaj, ready to give her life for love. They hear the sound of a blast, everyone was terrified. Vasundra laughs evily while the others cry.
Vasundra laughs after the blast saying everyone is now her slave. Raaj and Rani come from behind. They tell Vasundra about their game, they had thrown the bomb in the pool away from themselves. Vasundra calls it impossible but the police had already arrived to take her. Rani tells Vasundra to live with her son in the jail that is her right place.The family prayed in the temple, Rani says they were granted the strength to fight the evil. Raaj fills her hairline with the sindoor. Both hug each other after an intense eye lock. Raaj says no one can part Raaj and Rani away. The family hug each other together.
The next morning, everyone sat together. Anandi thinks if there is a son they will name him Raajputana. Rani says it must be short one, like Raaj. Rani wish she has a daughter. Raaj thinks about Vasundra’s deterrence while she had gone. Rani also goes behind him. Anandi taunts Rani is a tail of Raaj.In the store room, Raaj burns a box saying it contains Vasundra’s luggage. He even wants to burn her shadow; even her name shouldn’t be taken in their house.
There in the jail, Vasundra counts days.
Rani comes to breakfast table then scolds the servant for such oily food. Chitra and Anandi discuss what happened to her. Raaj comes to the table, Rani looks towards him and scolds him for wearing filthy shoes.
Raaj says she loved these shoes till yesterday. Anandi says such mood swings happen during pregnancy, she taunts they must all get used to Hitler Rani from today onwards. Rani doesn’t let Raaj sit and sends him to change his clothes and shoes.At night, Vasundra was thinking about Raaj and his family, Rani’s boastfulness.Rani comes to the room and finds glasses of milk decorated around on a table. Raaj comes to thank her for bearing such pain for him. He says he hasn’t even been able to explain his happiness, he only wants to say that… Rani asks what? Raaj was lost for a while, thinking about Rani. He says I love you to her. She smiles. Raaj kisses her hands. Rani drinks the hot chocolate. Raaj says he has done all these arrangements and all she cares for is Hot Chocolate. Rani thinks about doing something productive with his efforts.
Rani brings a teddy and trains Raaj to take care of their baby as he would do with the baby. Raaj says since teddy is lifeless he doesn’t get the feeling. He suggests about considering her as the baby, he will show her he takes her to the bed. Rani laughs.
In the jail, Vasundra thinks a few relations never leave one’s shadow. She will surely get out of this jail as she never learnt to get defeated.In the bed, Raaj asks Rani what she would ask if she gets a chance to get one wish accepted. Rani wish their story is turned to a novel which everyone can read.
Sunanda laughs as Raaj takes a soup fifth time for Rani. Sunanda says this is the time a husband must serve and take care of his wife. Anandi and Chitra ask if he had poured salt and black pepper.
In the room, Rani complains Raaj for being so late. Sakshi comes in and mix her flying kiss in the soup. Rani takes the bowl then gives it away as it smells odd. Raaj smells the soup saying it smells good. Rani says she doesn’t feel like drinking it. Rani says right now she wish to have… They all speak together Hot Chocolate Fudge. Raaj gets it instantly for her. Rani asks if he knew she wanted this, Raaj says this happens for so many days so he kept the servant standing outside with it. Anandi blesses them both.
