"King Shivay , I doubt you can handle the elder daughter of mine , I don't find you eligible enough for her and I reject to give my daughter in hands of someone who will not be able to keep her safe " King Aaditya smirked seeing Shivay's red face , he realised that his word hitted the right cord of King Shivay .
"Attack" Shouted Sukraam and troops attacked on each other , The brown soil of ground turned crimson red in colour as blood of troops with few of their limp body fell on ground .
