Soldiers of Amravati are fighting a lost battle against strong and large army of amarpur, the strongest state of Rajasthan. Amravati is a small state compared to the Amarpur but still soldiers of Amravati are fighting to protect their state, their pride. A small lean man with a pagdi embellished with amravati's state symbol is leading their army fierce fully and his army is also giving a tough fight to the soldiers of other state. They are less in numbers but they are not ready to give up. They will fight till the end of their life.
Sun sets and both armies return to their camp. Chief of Amravati army is looking at the moon from his camp. He is still in his uniform. His face is still covered with the extra cloth of pagdi He knows that army of amarpur has cut their all communication network; every side of their state is surrounded by Amarpur army. He is losing massive no of his soldiers' every day. He is proud of his army but he knows that they will not survive long. . He knows he is fighting a lost battle. But he knows his army will not accept defeat. They will fight till he is alive. Not his army but every citizen of Amravati will fight the battle till he is alive and eventually they will lose and nothing will be left in his state. He will accept death but he will not be able to accept the complete destruction of his state. Only one solution is left to him i.e. accept the death. With his death, the battle will stop and his Amravati will survive.
Next day, battle starts again with sun rising in the east. Chief of Amravati leads his army to the battle field. He is using his one hand to ride his horse and other hand to strike his enemies with sword. His one stroke is enough to kill the soldiers. And now he is in front of the chief of Amarpur army. And the fight starts between two's. His stroke is getting weaker and weaker. Chief of amarpur is surprised to see this. He had seen him fighting for last 5 days and he is impressed by him but today his stroke does not have that edge. Chief of Amarpur strikes hard on his hand and his sword falls on the earth. He closes his eyes to accept the inevitable. Chief of Amravati lifts his sword to kill him but at last moment, he changes his decision and orders his soldiers to capture him. His eyes which are fierce till now have fears in them. Death is far better than getting captured. He struggles to get himself free and his army tries to rescue him but Chief of Amravati puts sword on his neck and his army lowers their weapon.
He is brought in enemy camp and in front of King of Amarpur, Raghvendra who is sitting on the throne. He is a handsome man with brown eyes. His chiselled face is reflection of his arrogance self. He is drinking wine and some girls are performing in front of him. Chief of Amarpur army bows to him and announce that Amravati has accepted the defeat and they have captured their army chief and showed the small lean man whose hand is tied to the back and his face is still covered. The only visible part of his body is his eyes. He was in his warrior's uniforms. A shield is protecting his front and back. He is wearing boots in his feet and a pagdi on his head with royal symbol on it. The tail of pagdi is hiding his nose, lips and jaw line.
King Raghvendra gestures and dancers leave the camp. Now he is facing chief of Amravati army. A smirk plays on his lips. He asks his guard to award his chief with precious jewels and then he turns to Chief of Amravati army who is standing there with his head held high.
King Raghvendra : Only winners have right to held their head high. Bow your head warrior.'
Chief of Amravati does not follow his order and it angers King Raghavendra. He is not accustomed to be disobeyed.
He orders again - Bow your head looser otherwise you have to bear the consequences.'
But Chief Officer of Amravati army stands their unaffected. And King Raghvendra lost his temper. He takes his sword and goes to the prisoner. He raises his sword and chief of Amravati army closes his eyes in anticipation of a peaceful warrior's death. King Raghvendrea hits his pagdi with his sword and it fall down from his head freeing her untamed beautiful long hair and a beautiful angelic face. It is a shock for the people who are standing there. The chief officer of Amravati army is not a man but a woman, more correctly a beautiful woman. She lowers her eyes immediately feeling everyone's gaze on her. Some moments back, she was a warrior but now she is a woman in enemy's land.
King Raghavendra gets lost in her beauty. He has seeing her after a long period. She is epitome of beauty. Her big eyelashes, her doe shaped hazel eyes, her perfect nose and her soft lips and above all her wheatish skin colour; she is perfect in every sense. She is not chief officer and leader of Amravati army but princess of Amravati who had dared to reject him and his marriage proposal. The arrogant smirk backs on his lips. He gestures everyone to go out.
Princess of Amravati is standing in front of arrogant king who removes the ties of her hand and she relaxes her hand muscles.
King Raghvendra : princess of Amravati is standing in front of me as a prisoner, wonderful. Now I will break your pride sweet heart.' His hand touches her beautiful face. She moves back and he moves near to her. She lowers herself and takes out a dragger from her boots in a moment and she attacks him with all her force. But she misses the target and her dragger just put a small cut on his shoulder. She tries to hit him again but being an expert fighter himself, King Raghavendra defends the attack well and snatches the dragger from her hand and ties her hands again tightly.
King Raghavendra : You have not changed Kalpana. You are still feisty little teenager.'
Kalpana retorts I am a war prisoner. So behave yourself, your highness'
King Raghavendra smiles you have not changed a little bit. You are a prisoner and still showing attitude'
Kalpana : I am not an ordinary prisoner but a war prisoner, Your highness.'
King Raghavendra Oh you are right princess, so here is your options for peace treaty between Amravati and amarpur. First option - You have to marry me . Second option - you have to marry me. Third option - you have to marry me. Otherwise your Amravati will be destroyed, princess. So take your time to choose an option. I am not in hurry.
King Raghavendra leads her to temporary prison. He puts her pagdi on her hand and hides his nose, lips and chain with its tail and whispers in her ears - I don't want anyone to see face of my beautiful bride. Saying so, he unties her hands and then ties her hand and legs together.' He closes the door of jail and asks his maid to take care of his would be bride.
I am never going to marry you, Raghav' - She screams.
King Raghvendra turns to him. He is angry remembering Kalpana's betrayal. How she played with his heart and then rejected him mercilessly turning him into ruthless arrogant person. He gestures his maid to open the jail door and tells her - You go and inform queen pakhi that I am coming in her camp and I will have dinner with her'. Name pakhi itself causes a slight pain in her heart. No, she does not have a heart. May be she is uncomfortably tied up. He comes near to her dangerously and holds her hair tightly.
You had lost the right, sweetheart. Don't you dare to call me Raghav again? I am King Raghvendra and you will call me your highness only.' - King Raghvendra whispers in her ears. She feels humiliated. She feels a rush of anger in her heart and suddenly she sees Raghav's bare arm which was wounded by her dragger and she whispers - I am sorry your highness. I have made my decision. I will marry you but you have to protect my siblings and my Amravati.'
