Group was in panic.
My commanders were confused.
Prince Mahendr was dead in my lap.
The Chandel commander was shouting in front of me.
And I my face and many body parts were covered in royal Gurjar blood.
My eyes were blind and ears became deaf and mind become completely shut down.
After my senses finally came back, I shouted loudly and after pin drop silence, I was arrested by Chandel soldiers and my commanders tried to resist but I told them restlessly, "It's okay we should not mess this more let us go with them".
My commanders were also arrested with me they respectfully took prince Mahendr's body covering his heads back injury.
The proud warriors we were a moments ago and now we are the prime suspects of an important man of a strong empire.
Silence not even a pin drop silence pure silence was the whole road.
I was in despire and my men were disappointed.
After only a day which felt like a whole week, a hard road of dark and bad thoughts in my mind started occuring for once I thought that maybe I should run away and return to Arab and live a life of Maulana in macca sharif or Medina saru, but that would be Betrayal to my group, to my friends, to Prince Mahendr so I just stay quiet and looked to my people who were devastated.
Then we finnally reached Khajuravahak a prominent city of Jejukabhukti, near it's capital and one of the strongest fortress Kalanjar.
When we reached the castle we expected to see the governor Arjun Somvanshi but King Vijayshakti as a suprise was already their.
"Your majesty, as you sent us to patrolling we found this killers".
"They are Pindaris, because of them the Empire gained more influence, they are Prince Mahendr's friends so why are they arrested"?
"Your majesty, they.....we found them in a very suspicious things doing with....Prince Mahendr".
"What did they do and where is your highness".
"His highness...is no more".
He looked at me in the one minute of silence and said, "WHAT DID YOU DO...did they kill him"?
"We saw his commanders with the weapon and Prince's guards and some more people with black robes were also dead".
"Hahahaha so I see after killing the prince and his guards you killed the people with black robes to act like they were killed by assassins drag them and execute them for killing pratihar Prince, a nephew and son-in-law to emperor himself".
We were dragged my people tried to call the King, "It's right our lord general is innocent.....Yes they were assassin who killed the guards and his highness...we are being framed...we won you a war and that's what you are doing".
They tried to resist so much but everything was nothing.
We were dragged in the middle of execution ground people were watching us and a soldier was starting to beat me he had only started but then suddenly ser Adivarah came in front and stood.
"Ser run they will kill you", I said desperately.
But he replied calmly and in deeply with noble accent, "No they can't do not even in there last thought".
They pulled his sword and stand like noblely then the King himself came and was shocked to see him.
"What, impossible your majesty".
Then suddenly everyone there bowed to him and then I realised that if a king is Bowing to someone in this era it means that, he is non other than.....Emperor Mihir bhoj of Pratihar Empire.
