The big battalion of Amaian soldiers roared towards the front gate of Hiranga. The mascot of Yuvan galloped in the front line. The imperial soldiers who followed him without any hitch started to fluctuate in their mind when they witnessed the mighty doors of Hiranga. Charan and Abhik clutched their reins due to the state of dilemma they have fallen upon. If this situation is not handled well, then the consequences of barging violently into Hirangan gates with a battalion will bring disaster to the entire Mekong.
They saw a group of three or four people waiting for them at the gate. Yuvan got off from his horse and walked towards them. The man before him was holding Apeksha. He rushed to her. Her state of helplessness and a tortured soul with her hands tied and still unconscious in cruel hands broke him. He pulled his sword ragingly and pointed at his throat. His eyes blubbered and he pressed the sword more tightly.
"Don't you dare!" He roared in his bawling voice.
The situation tensed within seconds. Abhik and Charan rushed to assist him.
"Diii..." Alok rushed towards her.
"Alok, take Apu to Lexicon." Dhruv moved the sword pointed at him with his hands.
"Yes Lord." Alok untied her and moved her to a horse cart. Yuvan stood in daze of why he loosened the sword grip and why he felt a strange trust.
"What brought the crowned prince of Amai to the humble premises of Hiranga?" Jiva walked in between Dhruva and Jatin. He was accompanied by Aram.
"And that too with a battalion. Can this be considered as a challenge."
Yuvan downed his sword, " I am here for my wife."
"Nonsense. " Dhruva raised his voice.
"You abducted her to Hiranga. Whether it's a challenge or not depends on your reciprocation." He gripped his sword harder.
"She is not..." Dhruva insisted.
"Since the prince is here himself, let's discuss it deeply. Please follow us to Lexicon." Jiva opinionated. He continued to Abhik and Charan, "We won't harm people casually."
They stood near the main hall of the conference in Lexicon. The hall has not changed and is still the same. When they were about to enter, Shankar bowed to them, "Lord, Apu has regained consciousness." Yuvan barged in and was followed by all others.
"Shankar.." Abhik hugged his friend. "You know di?"
"She is a royal."
