Than meera remove her blouse and say you have to choice give twice tax or drink my milk and expect me as your sister write this story 
//
The atmosphere in the village square turns from tense to suffocating. The air itself seems to thicken as Meera makes a move that defies all royal decorum, proving that she isn't just a Queen—she is a master of the "Game."

## **SCENE START**

**EXT. VILLAGE SQUARE - CONTINUOUS**

The guards turn their backs, forming a wall of obsidian armor around the Queen and the two siblings, shielding this private display from the commoners. 

**MEERA** reaches for the golden fasteners of her royal blouse. With a slow, deliberate motion, she lets the silk fabric slide from her shoulders, revealing her skin to the humid Amazon air. 

**JIYA** gasps, her eyes wide with terror. She tries to pull Van away, but he is frozen, his eyes locked on the Queen.

**MEERA**
(Her voice a low, dangerous purr)
You say your sister feeds you, Van. You say her gift is the only reason you breathe. But I am the Sovereign of this land. Everything here belongs to me—the soil, the rain, and even the life in your veins.

She steps into Van’s personal space, the heat radiating off her body.

**MEERA** (CONT'D)
I will give you a choice. A game, if you will. You can pay the double tax and watch Jiya wither away to nothing as she works the fields to satisfy my treasury...

She leans closer, her breath warm against his ear.

**MEERA** (CONT'D)
...Or, you can kneel here. You can drink from me, just as you do from her. Accept my milk, accept me as your sister, your provider, and your Goddess. If you do, the tax is vanished. Your life becomes easy.

Van’s heart hammers against his ribs like a trapped bird. The "Ancient Warrior" blood is screaming now, a chaotic roar of recognition and hunger. He looks at Jiya, who is trembling, her face wet with tears of shame and fear. Then he looks at Meera—radiant, powerful, and offering a shortcut to a life of luxury.

**VAN**
(Voice cracking)
You... you would have me betray the one who raised me?

**MEERA**
(Smirking)
I am not asking for betrayal, Van. I am asking for *expansion*. Why have one sister, when you can have a Queen? 

She moves her hand to the back of Van’s head, her fingers tangling in his hair, gently guiding him downward. 

**MEERA** (CONT'D)
Drink, little warrior. Taste the power of the throne. Let’s see if Jiya’s humble life can compare to the nectar of a goddess.

Jiya watches, her breath hitching in her throat. She knows that if Van drinks, the "Restart" they worked so hard to maintain might shatter. The bond they shared in the hut was simple and pure; what Meera is offering is a golden cage built on ancient memories.

**VAN**
(Whispering)
If I drink... the tax is gone? Jiya is safe?

**MEERA**
More than safe. She will be a guest in my palace. But you... you will belong to me.

Van looks at Jiya one last time. Her eyes plead with him to refuse, but her thin, overworked frame tells another story—the story of a girl who won't survive another season of the Queen's taxes. 

Slowly, Van begins to lean forward, his shadow falling across Meera’s pale skin.

**SCENE END**

**Does Van give in to Meera's offer to save Jiya, or does he find a third way to keep his loyalty to his sister?**
