Agra - 21 days later"!
"We can't make him the Emperor"! he isn't capable and he isn't even Royal blood"! Just a son of wet-nurse"! We won't serve him"!
"We Shall rather make Sharif-ud-din"! The emperor he is relatively to Royal family"! And he is capable as well"!
"It's better to Free prince Jalal "! make him the Emperor"! He is royal Mughal blood"! Capable enough to handle empire"!
"But he isn't worthy enough "! we can't make him emperor"! just cause of him being royal blood"!
(The Mughal were in absolute chaos, The Army Commander Bairam Khan, Chief Advisor Adhga Khan. did best to keep the News in secret , to control the situation yet they failed . After three weeks the news got out the , Sudden Demise of Emperor Abul Shah Nasir Ud Din Mohammad. They were arguing whom to make the Emperor , Adham Khan the milk brother of Nasir and Jalal, Sharif-ud-din husband of Mughal Princess, or the Deceased Emperor Shared same blood as him his brother, Abul fath Jalal Ud-din Mohammad. Definitely being loyal to Mughal Royals from long a part of council members, they weren't ready to serve the people who aren't royal by birth. But the Issue of Jalal being in Prisoner, by Late emperor doesn't make them get him out . And make him Emperor, the Court was divided in three part one Suggest for Adham khan, cause of Maham Manipulative skills. so one for Sharif ud-din for his good control on Scholars , one for Jalal cause of Bairam and Adhga not to forget cause of Dowgar Queen Hamida Begam. At the end they seek for time to take final decision , in the mean time they try to investigate about the death of Emperor).
######################################
(The news of Nasir death reach to Jalal men, they were concern and very much worried for him. The absolute chaos in empire, conspiracy against royal happening in empire to gain the power and throne. Come under their knowledge, hence they disguising themselves as soldier, sneaked into Dungeon to help Jalal out. before Sharif Adham become Emperor and kill him).
"We don't have time Jalal"! we have to escape from here"! Before Sharif or Adham", take reign of Throne and kill us"!..
"Cowards run from trouble"! while brave face it"!
"Wise people wait to strike "! while foolish people mess everything "! get themselves killed"! Come on it's not the right time to face anything"! His majesty had been killed "! how no-one know"! Whereas just four day back even Bairam Khan had been killed"! don't you smell the Conspiracy in air"? by all this it will be end of Mughal Empire"! if in one those two evil heads become Emperor "! why don't you see it Jalal"? We need you the empire needs you"!
"And where you suggest"! we shall run off"?.
"you have us with you "! instead of running like coward"! we shall regain hold on throne by power"!.
"And they have Control on Army"! how do you think "? we can fought with them"?.
"The Army is in their hold"! cause they have no real leader to work for"! as soon you present yourself "! they will be on your side"!
"Fine let's get done with it"! by the way Idea how it's happen"?
"Not sure all we got to know is "! His Majesty had been killed"! more likely choked to death"! But it's strange to"!
"Strange cause of ?
He wasn't choked by anyone "! by using hands or ropes"!. As their was no sign of injury", found on his body"! he wasn't eating that he may choked to death"! "but he choked on his own spit"! why anyone won't struggle while choking"!
"He might been poison "! but as you mention there was no sign of Injury"! then it's cause of the meal he had"! but it's impossible"! As every food get tested by the one who prepare"! then poisoning him through food is out of question"!
"Well that's the matter to deal with later"! for now the Empire need your attention"! so get into action Jalal"! the council member might be in Special Court "!
(Listening his men words, Jalal Sigh he couldn't even mourn, over the loss of brother , he have to fight for his right, his Empire his people. Escaping from Prisoner wasn't easy task either, but with the help of his Men he did got success in it).
