ISHWASA : His warrior Begam

3. CAUGHT!!

As the journey progressed. The lorry crossed various small big cities and finally reached the kingdom

It was night when The lorry was stopped at the kingdom gates for checking. 

"Hey man where have you been ????" An on duty soldier asked the driver. "I have been to soldiers camp at Warfield to provide them necessary food, fruits and other edibles." He replied

"We need to check, open this." "yes sure." While talking they opened the doors of lorry and two soldiers began to check it with the sticks with a small knife was made on the lower part for the checking purpose. As they proceed by digging the stick in different rags and opened few of them to examine thoroughly.

Ishwasa was too tired with the fight and restless for two nights was now barely conscious due to exhaustion. She was unaware of the danger coming on her way.

As soon as the soldier approached the sack in which Ishwasa was sleeping he hit the stick inside and the sharp knife pierced the flesh of Ishwasa arm. A loud shriek heard by everyone. All the on duty officers and soldiers alerted at the sound and quickly approached the lorry.

The home minister, Shahbaaz khan who was on the quick tour of the gates of kingdom before closing and calling it night was also there. Listening to the hustle bustle he approached to know the happenings. After knowing that a suspicious voice heard from one of the sack he quickly took action.

"Hold him soldiers" He signaled towards the driver and soldiers were quick to oblige.

"Surround the lorry, five set of soldiers will enter inside. 12 soldiers will take the safety position outside. We are in the war. We should not take even the tiniest thing lightly." He instructed the army unit. His voice firm and loud . His aura dark and dominating.

Everyone followed the instructions and soon the sack was dragged outside in which ISHWASA was hidden. They opened the sack and too stunned to see a young girl with arm bleeding badly and on the verge of getting unconscious.

Ishwasa was barely conscious to know to the surroundings. She thought she would be somewhere near her kingdom so she said in muffled voice," I am prin...princess of aj.. ajmer. Ple..ase send me to m.. my ba.. babasa." with this darkness enveloped her. Her body hit the floor.

Shahbaaz still processing the information was too stunned to react because he was unable to connect the dots. First thing is if she was princess then how she ended up here and like this, severly injured. Second thing is, how on the earth she was wearing their soldier's armor and turban even having sword??. He want answers. But for now he have to handle this.

"Take this driver for investigation." he commanded. 

"I am innocent sir, I don't even know her. I don't know how she was hiding there. please leave me." Driver cried.

"I will leave you if proven innocent but if you have slightest of involvement in this then not even god can save you from me" Shahbaaz declared with heavy voice which can send shivers down anyone's spine. 

Being the home minister he can handle this matter own his own but the thing is she confessed the she is princess of AJMER. And they were in middle of the war with them. Now this is more complicated than anyone can think. So he need to consult with the KING.

"Go and escort her to one of the guest rooms, make sure to call the physician and she should be up till tomorrow." ordering this he moved to visit Shahenshah.

Before that he met few of his trusted sources and spies to know about the situation well. And now after connecting the dots he had an idea how the whole thing happened.

Guards of the King stopped him as they were instructed not to disturb king in any situation. 

"Let me in Anuraj Singh" He ordered one of the guard.
