He used magic to make the dead bodies of Shan and Kiya, who were lying there, disappear and went away with the book that was disappearing. First of all, he has to hide the book in a place where no one can reach it.
After Ishaan left from there, someone came out from a hidden place and looked at Ishaan, who was going in one direction. He had covered himself well with a big black coloured robe! It was very difficult to know who he was.
But if he could hide himself so well among everyone, then who knows what all he could do and what his motive was, only he knew it now.

When Neha regained consciousness, she was imprisoned in a room! A lot of maids and guards were outside her room. They were not allowing her to go anywhere. Wherever she went, they all followed her. She was disturbed by all this. So she stood near the window to get some fresh air.
But as soon as she stood there, a maid came and said, "Miss, can't you stand here? King has forbidden you from standing near the window like this."
Hearing the maid's words, Neha said to her angrily, "So now I can't even breathe fresh air. Your king is not Go, who is stopping me from breathing."
Then a voice came, "She is just following the king's orders. Why are you venting your anger on her?"
Hearing the voice, Neha looked in that direction and saw a girl standing there. She was also dressed like the other maids. Seeing her, Neha remembered that this was the maid who had sent her to the palace of that crazy king. If she had not sent her to that palace, he would not have gone after her. She said to her, "You are the one who sent me to that crazy king's palace. Neither would you have sent me to his palace nor would he have come after me like this."
Hearing Neha's words, Sara bowed her head and said to her, "Forgive me. Your Majesty himself had ordered that you should be asked to clean the entire palace.
I was just following his orders. I had no idea all this would happen."
Having said that, she looked at the other maid and said, "You can go. I am here to take care of her."
After listening to Sara, the maid nodded and went away from there.
After she left, Sara looked around to see if anyone was listening to them by mistake. Then she said to Neha, "You want to leave from here. I can help you get out of here."
Hearing Sara, Neha folded her hands and said, "And why do you want to help me?"
This girl first deliberately sent him to the king's palace, and now she has come to him and is offering help. There must be some motive behind this.
Sara was surprised by Neha's question. She had not thought that this girl would not be convinced by her words. She said, " I just like our king very much and want to get closer to him. And you don't like him at all and want to leave here! So why don't we both help each other? You help me get closer to the king. I will help you get out of here."
After listening to Sara, Neha said to her, "But I don't know anything about this place. You must bring me the correct news about this place. How can I trust you on this matter?"
Hearing Neha's words, Sara took something out of her hand and said, " I can give you this thing to convince you. It is very special in our species. If I accidentally lose it, I will be thrown out of my species. I might even lose my life!"
After listening to Sara, Neha looked at her hand and asked, "Is King so important to you that you are ready to give up your life to get him?"
Hearing Neha's question, Sara blushed and said, "Yes, I love him, and if I get close to him, then nothing will be bigger than that."
Seeing Sara blush, Neha took a deep breath. Another love-struck girl was standing in front of her. Just like in their world, every female magician used to follow Shaan. She can do anything to get him. She, her friend Shaan, and Kiyad they all three friends and had been together since childhood. Although initially, Kiya did not get along well with her and was always ready to fight with her. But as she grew up, everything changed, and she became her best friend. But she did not know that getting close to her was just a pretence.
As soon as she remembered this, she did not feel like trusting the girl standing in front of her, who first trapped her and now is extending a helping hand to her.
She must have some motive behind this. She must have a backup plan ready for her protection. This time, she cannot be deceived by anyone.
She said to Sara, "Okay. But first, you tell me about this place. As much as you know?"
Sara took a deep breath after listening to Neha. She said, "Okay. We are all birds of different species who live together in this sea-surrounded kingdom . Our entire clan is called the Feather Clan, and the king here is called Golden Crow. He is supreme over all of us, and we come under him."
Listening to Sara, Neha remembered Revan's wings, which were golden and black in colour. She thought to herself, "He looks like an eagle. But there is also black colour in between its feathers. Which is like a crow. Maybe that is why he is called Golden Crow. But why are there black spots on his body? It seems there is a big secret behind this! But why does this all seem familiar to me? Like I have heard about it somewhere. But how can this be so? I was just interested in different novels. But I have not read all this in any such novel. Then what kind of world is this!"
Then Sarah said further, "There is another Clan like our Clan. This is called the Serpent Clan. Both of our Clans have a great enmity with each other because a Black Serpent killed our king when he was being born. We have an old saying that after centuries, a bird comes out of the golden egg and rules over us all. When they were being born, that black serpent tried to eat them. But we all came to know about this, and we killed that serpent before it could eat the egg. But still some of its poison fell on the egg, due to which half of our king's body got black spots. When he grew up and found out that his condition was caused by a serpent, he ordered the destruction of the entire Serpent Clan. This is why there is a deep animosity between the people of both our clans."
