Shiv Pandav Vikramadhitya _ The Skywriter Of Chalukian Dynasty (Completed )

chapter 4

  
   "I am shravan. ..a first grade infantry soldier in a distant minor dynasty. .."

   Guruji sighed with gratitude. ..
 
   " Oh. ..that's nice to meet you. ..by the way. ..how did you get wounded. .? "

Suman shooted the enquiry. ..her pride on  princess retrieved. ..she maintained her head up exactly like an empress. ..However, she didn't want to showcase her inner feel in front of everyone. ..

" I was returning after attending a village function. ..I was surrounded by thieves. I fought back ....moreover, .I had nothing to give them. ..one of them stabbed me behind. ..I fell down unconscious. .."

    shravan fabricated a well sketched story. ..

" so sad. ..you were striken at our place. ..I will tell my father to check with it. ..by the way, we had left your horse there itself since we had some problems in bringing it with you .."

" it's ok my lady. ..she will manage herself. ..no need to worry. .."

"  good then, I must say that  your horse was intelligent. ."

" yes my lady. .I knew it. .."

  They conversed with each other as like they were the only two present in the room. ..

Guruji was actually surprised to see suman 's attitude towards a stranger. ..He believed that she was focusing on shravan more...

" ikkkummm. .."

He had to clear his throat unnecessarily to bring them here and now. ..

  " suman. ..let him take rest. ..He had to leave tonight. .Make some arrangements to dine in. .."

  With  those words,  suman fathomed what her guruji was trying to do. ..she nodded slightly and left with krithika. ..

Little while later, guruji sat beside shravan. ..

" shiv. ..again I mistook your character. ..I scared that you will be revealing your true identity. ..but, you didn't. ..thank you for that. .."

Shravan smiled. ..

" guruji. ..I was partially conscious while you were discussing. ..I came to know that I landed in chola dynasty mistakenly ...that too, near to the princess fort. ..I was about to deny your help. ..but, I was too feeble even to talk .."

" don't worry. ..I won't jeopardise the  princess 's reputation. ..you helped me by saving my life. ..i leave by tonight as you said. ..you could ask anything from me which I can do to you as a gratitude for your help. .."

Guruji appreciated his honesty. ..though, his brows arched doubtfully. ..

" shiv. ..were you awake when I brought you through the secret tunnel. .?"

He mean to ask whether shiv was aware of the secret tunnel. ..because, in those days the secret tunnels were meant as military secrets. ..

Shravan laughed a bit louder. ..

" of course I was. ..I knew the secret path. ..but, I promise you guruji. . . I won't reveal the secret to anyone in my life. ..I promise that I won't use it unless you permit. .."

   Guruji 's guess was right. ..shravan was more intelligent than he think. ..He determined himself that he had to keep an eye on shravan until he leave the fort. ..He had faith on his promise. .

" shiv. ..shall I ask you one thing. .."

" Sure. .."

" can you tell me. ..how did you get the stab. .?"
