Samrat's face twisted with rage as he made another attempt to harm Var, his intentions clear and his fury unrelenting. However, before he could reach his target, Angad swiftly stepped forward, positioning himself as a shield between Samrat and Var. With a well-honed instinct, Angad intercepted the former king's attack, using his strength and agility to push Samrat forcefully to the ground.

Despite the confrontation, Angad remained respectful towards Samrat, even in his compromised state. His voice carried a hint of authority as he addressed the fallen ruler. "Former king, your actions have caused enough suffering. It is time to step aside and allow us to forge a path of healing and progress. Your attempts to harm Prince Var and Prince Roop will not be tolerated."

As Angad's words hung in the air, a sense of awe washed over Megh, who watched the unfolding scene with admiration. The courage and loyalty displayed by Angad resonated deeply with him, leaving an indelible impression of the soldier's character.

Realizing the futility of his efforts, Samrat slowly rose from the ground, his face etched with defeat. The strength of Var and the unwavering support of Angad had stripped him of his power, leaving him exposed and insignificant.

Taking charge of the situation, Angad provided a clear way forward. "Let us move past this unfortunate encounter. Our focus should be on building a brighter future for this kingdom, one free from the shadows of the past. We must rise above the beggar Samrat's attempts to disrupt our path."

With Angad's words resonating in their hearts, the gathered individuals agreed to leave Samrat behind, a fading memory of a bygone era. They turned their attention towards the path ahead, where unity, compassion, and progress awaited them. The incident had reinforced their resolve to move forward, leaving the dark legacy of Samrat behind and embracing a future filled with hope and transformation.

Samrat's voice cracked with anguish as he fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face. "Please, I beg of you, take me back to my castle. I miss my throne, my kingdom, my power," he pleaded, his voice filled with desperation.

Roop's heart wavered as he watched his father's pitiful state, torn between his own guilt and a flicker of sympathy. Samrat's cries pierced the air, his voice filled with desperation and sorrow as he pleaded with them to take him back to his castle. His words carried the weight of regret and longing, invoking a mix of guilt and sympathy within Roop's heart. Roop's instinct was to step forward, to offer some solace or explanation, but Megh, sensing the potential consequences, held him back with a firm grip on his arm.

"Megh, let me speak to him. He is still my father," Roop implored, his voice laced with emotions that tugged at his heartstrings.

Megh, wise beyond his years, held Roop's gaze with a blend of compassion and firmness. "Bhaiya, I understand your pain, but we cannot undo the past. Samrat's actions have caused immense suffering and turmoil. It is not our responsibility to fix what he has broken. We must prioritize our own well-being and the well-being of our people."

The Queen, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and resolve, added her voice to Megh's counsel. "My noble prince, do not let guilt cloud your judgment. We have come too far to be lured back into the darkness. Samrat's cries are the echoes of a past that must remain behind us. It is time for us to embrace the light."

Roop took a deep breath, struggling to control the turmoil within his heart. With every ounce of strength, he resisted the temptation to respond to his father's pleas. Instead, he turned away, his footsteps heavy with the weight of his emotions.

The group began to move forward, leaving Samrat behind as his cries slowly faded into the distance. Roop's resolve grew stronger with each step, understanding that to move towards a brighter future, he must let go of the past, no matter how painful it might be.
