Gora Singh

"Vijay sir… take our guest away…"

When Maharawal Ratan Simha agreed to Aarv's request, Aarv hurriedly asked instructor Vijay to take Alauddin Khilji with him. He feared that the king might change his decision but, Maharawal Ratan Simha did not even look at Alauddin Khilji. Instead, he hurriedly walked in the direction of Gora Singh, still holding himself together.

When Aarv saw this scene, he quickly followed behind Maharawal Ratan Simha. When he looked at Gora Singh in the distance, he saw that His body was covered with at least 20 arrows. Although the shield protected his vital organs, it was still difficult for him to survive the injuries. At best he could live a life as a disabled person.

Gora Singh knew it too. But, there was not even a trace of remorse on his face. When he saw Maharawal Ratan Simha coming his way, He hurriedly tried to get up. When Maharawal Ratan Simha saw this he personally went ahead to support him.

"Why did you do this…?"

Maharawal Ratan Simha did not doubt Gora Singh's loyalty but, is it worth it to sacrifice yourself for him…?

Gora Singh did not speak and just smiled at Maharawal Ratan Simha and turned his attention towards Aarv who was following his King. A series of complicated emotions flashed through his eyes as he looked at the young man and remembered his conversation with him.

It was the time when the court meeting had just concluded and all the ministers along with generals were leaving the royal palace. Gora Singh was among them. As he was walking towards his home, he heard someone calling for him behind him.

"General Gora Singh…!"

When Gora Singh turned his head and looked back, He saw a young man walking toward him with hurried steps. Gora Singh knew who that young man was. He was the one that rescued their king from the Khilji forces as well as designed the Ballistas. He had respect for the young man because of his deeds at such a young age.

"General Gora Singh… " When Aarv finally reached Gora Singh, he once again addressed him.

"What is it…?" Gora Singh asked curiously. He also wanted to know why Aarv was looking for him.

"I have something important to ask you…" Aarv said in a low voice as he looked around him cautiously. And then said slowly, "Shall we go somewhere private…?"

At first Gora Singh was confused by Aarv's behaviour but still, he decided to just go with him. He too wanted to know what important matter Aarv wished to discuss with him.

"Sure… Let's go…" Gora Singh took the lead and walked toward a remote place.

When both of them reached a remote area, Gora Singh asked Aarv, "What is it…?". Although the Aread looked remote enough, Aarv noticed a lot of 'Ghosts' lurking around the area. Aarv concluded that this must be some secret meeting area of the Rajputs. His face did not change as he asked Badal Singh,

"How much loyal are you to your king…?"

He did not beat around the bush and directly asked Gora Singh.

Startled for a second, Gora Singh's face turned ugly as he directly drew out his sword and placed it on Aarv's neck while saying, "What do you mean by this…?" He never expected Aarv to ask such a question. For any warrior asking bout their loyalty was a taboo topic. By asking Gora Singh about his loyalty, Aarv stepped over his boundaries.

"I respect you for what you did for my Kingdom of Mevad… else, your head would have been rolled on the ground the second you asked me about my loyalty…" Gora Singh said with murderous intent.

Aarv already expected this situation as he was not bothered by Gora Singh placing his sword on his neck. He looked directly into Gora Singh's eyes and said, "Still I want to Know how much loyal you are to your king…?" He paused for a bit and continued, "Are you willing to die for your king…?"

This time Gora Sing's grip on his sword loosened a bit but still, he kept the sword on Aarv's neck and said, "Are you questioning my loyalty…?"

Aarv never had Doubta about Gora Sing's loyalty. He knew that in history After Gora Singh saw that Maharawal Ratan Simha had been killed by treason, He personally lead the Mevad Rajputs

to attack the Khilji forces. It was said that he had single-handedly killed more than 1,000 Khilji forces.

In the history of Mevad, there was a legend. The legend was in the form of a short poem stating that even after his head was separated from his body, Gora Singh's body still kept fighting and claimed the enemy commander Muhammad Jafar's head.

Aarv had a deep respect for such a warrior as he said his next words cautiously, "What if there is a situation where your king's life is in danger… and you have only one option where you have to risk your life to protect your king… what will you choose…?"

When Gora Sing heard the question, He laughed and took his sword back and said, "Obviously I will save my King…"

He did not even flinch for a second and made his choice.

Aarv expected no less from such a great warrior as he finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "I admire your loyalty general… As a bonus, I will tell you some secret information about the Khiljis…"

Aarv finished his sentence as he got closer to Gora Singh and said slowly, "Khilji army love to do hero battles… Maybe Annadata will also fight a hero battle with Alauddin Khilji…"

"But… The Khiljis have never played the Hero Battles fairly… You have to keep an eye on the surrounding Khilji soldiers during the battle…."

After saying this, Aarv did not wait for Gora Singh's reply as he turned and left the 'Remote are' leaving Gora Singh completely speechless. After Aarv left the area, some people walked out of the shadows. One of them looked in Aarv's direction and said, "Hujur, should I capture him to get more information from him…?"

Gora Singh shocked his head and said, "No need… He has already told us everything…"

On the battlefield, When Maharawal Ratan Simha and Alauddin Khilji fought in a hero battle, Gora Singh remembered Aarv's words and kept an eye on the Khilji soldiers who were surrounding the hero battlefield.

As soon as the Khilji soldiers saw that their King was losing the battle, they quickly drew their bows. This action did not escape Gora Singh's eyes as he hurriedly marched his horse in the direction of their king and managed to save their king.

When he saw Aarv coming near him, he looked at him gratefully. He knew that if Aarv had not warned him about the Hero battle, He would have been unable to protect his king.
