Episode starts with Helena introducing Agni Shikha to everyone, Charumitra & Shubrsi greets her warmly. Noor (as expected😛) behaves with her bit coldly with that fake smile plastered on her face. Bindusar says that Noor was the most excited one for the whole welcome preparations. Agni Shikha thanks her and calls her devraani ji, Noor says this time I might forgive you but better refer her as Rani Noor. Agni Shikha says that from where she is coming relations cannot be compromised. Justin looks helpless throughout. And if looks could kill, Noor had efficiently killed Justin a thousand times today. Poor chap.😆
Next Chanakya comes and he and Rajaji Raj exchange greetings. Chanakya says he is surprised by seeing him here as Rajaji Raj is so against his teachings. Rajaji raj says time changes thoughts and now he thinks differently. Chanakya informs Bindusar that they have to leave for Rajkeey Vidyalay to kick start the annual championship. Bindusar agrees and they leave.
Bindusar is addressing the kids and says that even though he was the great Chandragupt Maurya's son and did get certain qualities from his dad, his real talent was nurtured in this school and for that he bows forward to his Achaarya's.Ashok is doing his punishment rounds and lamenting on his loss of being with the other kids. Here Bindussar continues with his speech (a typical inspirational speech😉) and tells the kids that the winner of the competition would get the sword of Chandragupt Maurya as the prize. He further adds that it is not important from whom who loose, but with what skills you manage to overcome your weakness. He says there can be only one winner and he would be best warrior. Meanwhile Ashok realises that his punishment didn't confine him in a particular area to run, so he runs around the place where the speech is going on and manages to listen to the end part.😛 Chanakya sees Ashok doing his running punishment and sighs.Chanakya also addresses the kids and says that you all will be tested in this competition to your extreme. He asks Bindusar to start the ceremony and Bindusar throws a fire arrow to officially begin the competition.👏
Bindusar asks about Ashok and the Acharya complains about him being arrogant and undisciplined. Bindusar doesn't buy it. He walks towards the area where Ashok is running. He asks him why he isn't stopping even after his friend has come. Ashok says he cant as he is getting punishment for not being ahead of the people who doesn't want him here. Bindusar asks him to fight for his place and says there is going to be competition soon, he should participate in it and prove himself. He says Sushim is the winner for the past 2 years, but that doesn't mean that he is invincible. Ashok asks him that is he trying to pitch him against Sushim, his own son?🤔 Bindusar says that he still wants Sushim to win but he also wants Ashok to work really hard for this competition. Akramak comes and asks Ashok to stop running. Bindusar asks Akramak to see how Ashok didn't take a break from his punishment even while talking to him, so does he still thinks him and an unrespectful student? Sushim is evesdropping on the whole exchange and is pissed off and leaves. Bindusar invites Akramak to the Raj Bhog for all the students and kids. Bindusar looks at Ashok and says that till a person cant break your soul you will be strong, always remember that.😃
All the kids are having meal, Ashok enters and the cooks serves him meal as he is finally on time. Sushim exchanges looks with his gang of gundaas and they all one by one refuses Ashok to sit besides them. Ashok without caring for anyone sits on floor and starts hungrily devoring the food. sushim taunts him by saying that look at this guy, he is eating like an animal as if he has seen food for the first time. And how shameless he has become that no taunt has any efeect on him. Ashok smugly replies that finally you have understood me correctly, just wait and watch how I defeat you in this competition. Sushim warns him against taking part in the competition. Ashok says that the day you tried to remove me from your path on that mountain, that was the last day I ever feared you and leaves the room. Sushim becomes embarrassed but covers up by mocking Ashok.🤪
Akramak is explaining to everyone about the competition and asks people who are brave enough to step forward. Sushim is the first one to come, followed by siamak, and then three more people join them. Akramak asks if nobody else is left who has courage? Ashok steps forward, Sushim asks Akramak to stop him as he is not fit enough. Akramak snubs Sushim and asks Ashok to join the group. He then gives them the task to saddle up the horses present in front of them and this would be their first task and also the horses would help them win the competition. Everyone runs towards their horses and mounts them easily except Ashok. He has some difficulties. Sushim laughs at him and says that there is still time left to withdraw from the race. Ashok is left behing while all ride ahead.😔
Precap : all are at the palace and Sushim is looking for tuch praani aka Ashok. Ashok and Siamak walk together ( Ashok is in new avatar..new clothes..new hairstlye..ekdum prince types) Noor is scolding Siamak for befriending a commoner, Bindusar is listening to the convo angrily, while Ashok stands there humiliated😕
