The same day I was sitting in the in a small quarter that were alloted to as we were not convicted in my quater I was sitting and thinking that how did we end here.
But then suddenly the emperor came to my chamber.
I was not shocked nor excited but just remain sitted because the man ahead was my friend or atleast was.
"I came with the food", he told and put the food ahead of me.
I started eating and quietly.
"Are you not going to say something".
"So the name Adivarah came from a title, what does it mean"?
"It means the fortunate primaeval boar, came from my god Vishnu's avatar varah, third of dashavatar".
"So what should I call you now"?
"You can just call me Mihir, that's what friends call me".
"Am I your friend"?
"Yes, you are that's why I came to personally meet you and is going to meet others too".
"So why did you not tell me about who you were and how can a emperor is in disguise"?
"I was a spy then I was trained spy by the badoch Branch family in my mentor days and even after becoming emperor I had been undercover, this was also a time and the reason was kalachuri insurgency and to check on Rashtrakuts, and I was right as both were conspiring".
"Then why did you used me and cause me this betryal".
"It was me, because of whom you are a famous mercenary warlord, and you are alive otherwise you and your men would have died in Khajuravahak itself".
"Okay I am sorry because I was frustrated".
"I understand".
"By the way, it was you who talked to lord Heggade so what did he do".
"Arya Heggade's father, the former finance minister of Pratihar Empire was my spy".
Now it became sense why I am so stupid not to notice hints.
Mihir countinues, "So Al biruni, practice hard, and find the one person to fight in your side that's what you can do".
I was confused but Mihir had a light hand on my head which gave me confidence to practice hard and to live.
But the only problem I have is how I am to find the remaining person as who would be in my side and Mihir will not fight or people will think of him as a favourer.
But I have to be calm this time will also pass just like others.
