CHAPTER FIFTEEN
But suddenly, he heard a loud cry. He opened his eyes, saw a person who was covering the face, and started to fight with the cruel king. Prince Tejas came to rescue Taeho and was able to arrest all of them after freeing him. The unknown warrior continuously fought with the cruel king. Finally, the cruel king was defeated and chained. He became totally weak. Taeho was eager to know who the mysterious warrior was. The mysterious warrior, however, sprinted away into the shadows before he could approach. He was sure that it must be a skilled man with excellent swordsmanship. He wished to identify that individual and express his gratitude for saving his life.
But now the priority is to punish the cruel king they've captured. All of them returned to the palace. King Taeho made sure that none of his people lost their lives. Thankfully, a few of them were only left with minor injuries. There were no casualties. First aid was provided as soon as they reached the palace. As soon as they learned about the unexpected attack, the entire town gathered around the court.
The cruel king was brought to the main courtyard in chains along with his fellow culprits. As soon as he was brought in, people recognised him.
In front of everyone, King Taeho interrogated him. He desired to make the truth known. But the cruel king stood silent with his head hung low.
King Yaswant was irritated by his silence and asked, "Where has your valour gone? I have a strong suspicion that someone may have assisted in your attack on Taeho. Come on, tell me who it is."
"Nobody helped me; it was just me," the ruthless king abruptly said.
Prince Tejas, "Are you sure about that? Then how were you able to track the entire route of the journey? Don't try to fool us. Speak up."
"Oh dear, I do not think he would speak a word," Rani Nanda said as she stepped forward. "He is loyal to his master. Maybe Lim Maya could help us with that, right?"
The whole crowd and King Taeho were shocked to hear that.
What could she possibly say about the attack?
