Ashoka is in the sword room where he gets a cut from the royal sword. He says that I will keep this as a blessing from Chandragupta.

Helena and Rajajiraj talk about their plans and how Bindusara agreed for a palace. Charu sees them talk and wonders what are they up to.
Ashoka is practicing sword when he asks Siamak for guidance. Siamak says you've improved. In no time you will be good to go. Ashoka says I need to get better so that Sushim doesn't defeat him again
