Raksheet was sitting in his chamber, thinking what to do next as Abel will attack on Jwalana soon, when someone knocked on the door. He immediately stood up and ran towards the door so that Ira won't wake up. She could hardly sleep since she cried all the time.
"What?" Raksheet asked to the soldier infront of him.
"Greetings your majesty. A messenger from Jwalana is here to meet you." The soldier informed.
Raksheet immediately closed the door and went to meet the messenger.
"Shirish, what are you doing here? Is everything alright?" Raksheet asked, walking towards Shirish.
"Your highness, Abel has announced the war as soon as first ray of sunlight hit the sky. Jwalana army has departed for war. I am here to inform you about it. Please your highness, let's go. We don't have much time left."
Raksheet was shocked to know that Abel is so impatient to rage war against them. He looked at Dhishva who shifted his gaze away, indicating that he is not going to help Raksheet. Raksheet took a deep breath and looked at Shirish.
"I am coming. Wait for some time." After saying that, he went towards his chamber.
He grabbed some of his belongings and looked at Ira one last time before leaving. He wanted to tell her about him leaving but at the same time he didn't wanted to see her crying. He don't want to disturb her sleep. If she gets to know he is leaving, she won't sleep for whole night and may fall sick or faint again. He caressed her cheeks and kissed her forehead.
"I will be back princess. Take care of yourself. I love you." He looked at her wholeheartedly and then left from there. Instead of going to the hall, he went towards Viraaj's chamber.
He came infront of Viraaj's chamber and as expected, he found Ajit sitting outside Viraaj's chamber. He didn't left from outside Viraaj's chamber whole day. He is still feeling that Viraaj is inside and he have to protect him.
He looked up and found Raksheet standing infront of him. "Your majesty?" He said and stood up, wiping his tears.
"What happened your majesty? You are here at this time?"
Raksheet sighed to see Ajit's condition and said "Ajit, there is no one inside."
Ajit looked at him and smiled "No your majesty. The memories, the smell and the presence is still inside."
Raksheet held Ajit's shoulder and said. "I can understand. But you have to stop living in past. I have to ask you to do me a favour."
"Order me your majesty. I will do anything for you." Ajit replied with confidence.
Raksheet smiled "I am leaving for war."
"What?" Ajit asked in shock "Now?"
Raksheet nod "And I want you to take care of princess Ira in my absence. Agastya and Ankush are not in palace. And there is no one I can trust. I can only trust you. Please take care of her until I come back."
Ajit immediately nod "Yes your majesty, I will. And I will also inform Agastya and Ankush about it."
Raksheet nod "Fine. I should leave now. Go, take your position outside princess's chamber."
Ajit nod and went away from there with Raksheet after looking inside Viraaj's chamber one last time.
"I didn't told Ira about it. Don't disturb her sleep. And please, take care of her until I come back." Raksheet said to Dhishva.
Daksha was there too. She cupped his face and said "Come back soon. My daughter won't be able to live without you for long time."
Raksheet smiled at her and nod "I will be back soon."
After that, he left for war, towards Jwalana-Bayar border. And Ajit sent his man to inform Agastya and Ankush about Raksheet's departure for war.
"We should inform his majesty Raksheet about it." Agastya said.
"But can they walk?" Ankush asked, pointing towards Vikram and Cabail.
"I can." Vikram replied "But I don't think Cabail can."
They looked at Cabail who was sleeping on floor.
"And we have to keep an eye on him as well." Agastya said, talking about Shreyansh.
Ankush walked towards Shreyansh and kneeled down infront of him. "Don't worry. If he dares to run away, I will break both his legs. Then he will not be able to even walk, how will he run?"
Shreyansh shivered in fear to see the devilish look on Ankush's face.
"Let's go to Cabail's place and get your horses." Agastya said.
Vikram was about to say something when someone knocked on the door. They looked at eachother.
"Who could be at the door?" Ankush asked.
"No idea." Agastya replied.
"Open the door." Vikram said and grabbed the rod. He stood up and followed Agastya towards the door.
Agastya opened a the door a little and looked outside. A soldier was standing there whom Agastya know. He opened the door and asked.
"Why are you here?"
"Let me in first." The soldier said, looking arround.
Agastya nod and let him come inside. "Now tell me, why are you here?"
"His majesty Raksheet has left for war." The soldier informed.
Everyone looked at him with wide shocked eyes and Agastya asked "What?!"
Hearing his sudden voice, Cabail woke up and looked at him. "What happened?" He asked in his hoarse voice and tried to sit up.
Ankush helped Cabail sit up and replied "His majesty Raksheet has left for war."
"When?" Cabail asked worriedly.
"An hour ago." The soldier replied.
"Does princess Ira know about it?" Agastya asked.
"No, no one know about it except king Dhishva and queen Daksha. Ajit is guarding outside princess Ira's chamber and his majesty Raksheet had told him to take care of her. That's why he sent me to inform you about it." His eyes then fell on Shreyansh "Did you got any information?" He asked to Agastya.
Agastya looked at Shreyansh and replied "Yes, lots of information. And shocking too." He looked at the soldier and said. "Do me a favour. You know where is sir Cabail's house right?"
The soldier nod "Yes. Why?"
