The conversation was going on when an arrow flew past them and penetrated the body of a soldier.
Swung......Another arrow, one more dead. A lady, with covered face and dressed in black threw a sharp knife on Rudra. He barely dodged, it cut him deep on his back. The lady had missed her chance. She was now surrounded. Mahendra went up to her and checked for any weapons. The lady was raged and struggling to free herself.
"Take her prisoner." Mahendra roared.
Meanwhile Rudra had also dismounted.
"I know you are an assassin. Who sent you?" Rudra asked.
The lady didn't open up.
Rudra kept his trident at her neck, "Tell me and I will spare your life."
After some moments of silence the lady spoke, "Anumak sent me to kill you."
"That traitor, he sent an assassin after us, he should have challenged for a fight." Rudra said.
"Now free me." The lady demanded.
"I said I will spare your life, not free you." Rudra said.
The men tied her hands and arrested her. Theywalked for an hour. The lady was tied to a horse and made to walk behind them.
What a beautiful face and such sharpskills. No one could judge her by seeing, that she was an assassin. Rudrathought.
