Janaki was nodding her head in disagreement with his sister's words. She wasn't feeling good when her family was doing things which were not according to the values; The values which were given by the same family.
She didn't feel bad for Tanishkant king and she agreed with the reasoning of his sister yet she couldn't accept the way he died. Even if he had to die in the hands of her family, it should be in war land.
Siddhiveena snapped her fingers and another illusion was shown in front of her. The war land was spread across her.
The shoutings and screamings of the soldiers; The whins and grunts of elephants and horses; the bodies of dead soldiers and blood-smeared sand of battlefield; Janvi looked at the battlefield eagerly.
Rudra and Ram finally came opposite to each other. Rudra's words and his betrayal were still fresh in Ram's mind. And, Rudra got wounded mentally much recently; losing his father that too on his marriage anniversary wasn't easy to digest. He wanted to avenge for his father's death.
"How could you kill my father?"Rudra sneered.
"If that's your new trick, then sorry to say this you are failed."Ram shot back and jumped from his chariot with his sword. Rudra also jumped from his chariot with his sword. Enmity and hatred remained in both of their eyes. And, that reflected in their fight; Slashing each other's flesh and doing their best to snatch each other's lives.
The sun set and ended the fight for the day.
"I will surely kill you tomorrow for your betrayal, Rudra."Ram said in a promising tone.
"That's not going to be easy when Mahishmati defends, Ram."Durgaprasad said.
Rudra and Ram looked at him surprised and shocked.
"I promised Rudra that I will always defend him."Durgaprasad said.
"Why are you helping me?"Rudra asked.
"Didn't you remember my promise?"Durgaprasad asked Rudra.
"You aren't the person who keeps promises."Rudra retorted.
Ram walked back towards his barracks along with his soldiers ignoring both of them. His blood boiled by seeing Durgaprasad.
Durgaprasad waited till Ram left his vision.
"I wasn't, Rudra but not now. For the lady whose life we destroyed, just for her, I decide to change. She stood by her words even after knowing my deception. Though I can't be like her, I decide to standby my promise."Durgaprasad said.
"And, I will never help you if you play offensive. I am sure that you aren't a fool to attack an Empire like Mayankpur on your own."Durgaprasad played with his words.
"I need to avenge for my father's death."Rudra said.
"For that, you need to be alive, Rudra. Have you forgotten what Janvi's said at her death bed?"Durgaprasad asked and then continued,"We both need to pay for our sins. And, I wish you would realize that."
"I can't lose my family for her words, Durgaprasad. I will safeguard them with my life. "Rudra said and then started to walk towards his barracks.
Durgaprasad sighed deeply.
"That's not I meant, Rudra. Sometimes, The self-realization and true regrets may mitigate the damages, Rudra."Durgaprasad mumbled and walked towards Ram's barracks.
