supposed to be the first time and he calls her "Maya" in his opium fuelled state. So the king leaves her bed and takes more and more opium and more and more mistresses and no one is happy. On her travels Maya meets Jai Kumar, the king's sculptor, who falls for her seductive charms and she becomes his most favored model and lover. Maya falls in love with Jai and for the first time in her life she feels out of control. In the meantime the king is still obsessed with Maya, pretty much ignores his wife and continues to bed other women when he's not searching high and low around the kingdom for Maya.
What happens when the king catches up with Maya? What is the king's relationship with Jai Kumar? Do Tara and Maya ever achieve happiness in their lives? Just how vindictive can people be in the name of love and lust and revenge?

Can they pull off this big scam? ( "who cares?" springs to mind! ) Having convinced his friends, the three set off for the next tournament and chance upon a butt naked Geoffrey Chaucer (played by Paul Bettany). Luckily Chaucer is a master forger and can give Thatcher the fake legal documents he needs to compete in the exclusive battle games. Chaucer joins the happy band and the ride off to find their fame and fortune in the next town.
