Chapter 13

"Just kill me aaah already"! it's unbearable please kill me'!.

(A young soldier lying on wooden bed whimper in pain begging to get kill his hand was chopped of while a bullet was shot on his leg. He was around 17 year old yet he survived for to long Jodha saw him fighting by side of her sister bravely he killed at least 7 and injured 19 that to servery her own eyes got moist seeing her men in such a pain. If it was one soldier cry then it wont been so hard to bear but there were many lying in large tent getting themselves treated by Physicians some whimpering in pain some lying unconscious so few died cause of extreme blood loss and server deep wounds 20 of then died before Jodha cause entire tent was filled with injured soldier. It was all devastating and earth shattering. Unable to watch it any further Jodha step out of tent but the outside view was not pleasing either. Many of Martyr were getting covered shroud it was many of Bullock carts and had arrived to take the dead bodies back to palace so the family of martyrs could do their final rights).

"War demand sacrifice of people"! It's give suffering in return '! That's why wise leader never seek out for war"! but they stay ready for it "!

(Recalling one of his father words Jodha just took a deep sigh and started scrolling further. Many soldiers were working to fix the bunker, for themselves to patrol and guard the boundaries. Few were watching in alert eye keeping watch on every happening forward).

"Your highness "! we need to tend your wounds"! if you um!..

(Spoke one little girl around 16 year standing beside Jodha who was looking at soldiers being tucked in Bullock-cart securely and taken away. Startled by the voice Jodha look at the side she wanted to snap but she didnt just hm in response and sat on the big rock forwarded her arms. But she sense an odd grief in the girl. Which doesn't come by seeing others in pain but come from seeing our own in pain. She noticed the girl isn't making eye contact with her and working very nervously. Wetting the cloth on water she was about to wipe Jodha Arm where a good bruise was form by one of arrow attack).

"What's the matter"? you ok "? Tell me "! you dont need to fear"!

"They they say cause of one person we all are facing this '! I had heard a story when a saint was walking a throne got stuck in his feet he get it out. Then the saint walked towards sweet stall and brought a glass of champagne and pour over throne plant '! With intention to not only get rid of throne but the root cause of Throne as well so that it doesn't bother anyone later on "!

(Jodha just continue staring at The girl before her ahe wasn't sure by one person being cause of all the destruction refer to enemies or Her. What's purpose of telling the story it doesn't seem innocent conversation its seems more then a warning).

"JODHA WATCH OUT..

(At reflex action Jodha caught the hand before it could reach its goal to kill her. She was stunned to see the little girl was trying to attack on her by one plain knife. She look side and saw her elder sister who call out for her. There was lot of concern and fear evident on face of her sister she nodded in assurance to her and saw her stepping towards her with her commanders).

"Leave me I will kill you you bad omen '! It's happening cause of you only you ! just like the saint try to save other from getting rid of Plant I want to protect everyone by making other get rid of you leave me I will kill you you witch '!

(Oh that was huge blow for her she couldn't bear the disgust and hatred for herself at such little girl. Her palm started bleeding by the hold on knife her hold wasnt tight but it wasnt lose either. The girl was having hard time getting herself free but within next few minutes soldier rush to her and get hold on her).

"I want justice your highness "! kill her kill"! her already"! she is root cause of every bad happening '!

(The soldiers who were holding her and few who were present there got stunned by the girl words. They weren't sure what to do beg for mercy for the little girl or they to calm her down. Or be mute spector to the happening. Jodha glance around for fraction of second but seeing no cent percent of protest in anyone face or body language her heart bleed. Yet she look at the girl straight then step towards her and spoke).

"killing me will fix everything"? that's what you and all of them think isn't it"? then listen I won't even breath another for second"! If I am being the cause of my people suffering '! Here take this dagger and kill me '! End my suffering with everyone suffering here '! Kill me cause royal by birth rajputani by blood fearless by heart I rather die than live with Shame '!

(The girl teared up her hand started shaking hard the soldiers had released her by their hold the minute Jodha started speaking . Not able to take it the girl fell on her knees and started wailing badly. Jodha wasted no second to huge her and started running her hand over head and and back to sooth her).

"I was blinded by fury and grief"! I I lost my brother I am sorry pl ple please forgive me "! I I am so sorry your highness...

"It's ok"! sh its alright "!

"No no your highness "! it's not right "! few people are badmouthing you"! They're trying to brainwashed everyone back at state '!

(The girl got to overwhelm by thing she done, that she fainted in Jodha arms glancing around Jodha motion. One maid to take the girl back to tent to check up on her. She was sure the girl need immediate attention by Doctor. As soon they left she spoke).

"She's just kid blinded by Grief and furry"! I understand what about all of you '!

(The servants soldiers commanders shared a look among themselves, as soon Jodha ask this while Avantika who was witnessing everything silently all the while spoke. Looking straight at Jodha who was looking around with unreadable yet moist lost eyes).

"What type of question is it Jodha"? they are well aware of situation and know "! who is real culprit '!

"I second you whole heartily your highness"! but why I failed to see even hint of protest"! in there displayed emotion "!

(Avantika was about to say something but Jodha walked away from place without hearing anything. Way to disappoint your dear one was the only thing was in her mind at the moment she was sure Jodha isn't only upset but hurt that to deeply but she had no way to comfort her at all. Instructing more to soldiers and commanders Avantika look forward for once and left to check the patrolling area).

AGRA Fort

"Deccan is really becoming headache for us "! Our every troop suffer death there "! We failed to form any alliance with them"! forget about having any business there "!

(Spoke Abdul to Jalal before Mirza Munim Khan Adhga Khan They all were present his room having discussion ,about South part of India where every action of them to take over the part failed miserably. The thing which create blunder for them is the rulers of South no matter how much they fought with each other they don't seem to go for any to have negotiation with Mughal. And unlike Rajputs these rulers doesn't follow the custom of war rules to win they break rules like they break bones of their enemy there Millitary formation and weapons are very much skilled and advance. And it's doesn't help them cause they're best in manipulation as well very much befitted match for Mughal in opponent matter).

"And if we think to have any negotiation with them"! so it's of no use already our 14 delegate"! are no more '! We are strictly prohibited to step in their part "!

"Yes the further we step towards them the more they step forward and robbed us of from our own land "!

"If we let them be on own"! they will get stronger"! but we aren't established in North entirely yet "! so going for South mean risking more than we earned "!

"Exactly it's really getting out of our control"! cause not only they're protecting their own lands"! but they seems to make up mind to get hold on Delhi "!

(Jalal thought for moment while the discussion on information by Abdul was going on between Mirza Munim and Abdul about Deccan , Bengal and Deccan was really being troublesome for his Empire being ruled by invaders for long these places were sour point of India hence they always seem to be cruel and way more advanced. They just fight to win ways hardly matter to them just like it's hardly matter to him and his Empire. He thought for minutes the sudden change in empire and failure in Amer like states made it evident they're weaken from inside which might be true in some case not entirely. Knowing if he sent another force at sine other place for war it will be like digging grave on own for empire. Not at such critical situation he can leave Agra and move elsewhere. After the masacare of Afghan king. He was facing numerous attacks from Afghan by the Nephew of Afghan King Abdul Razak Kasim. So he spoke in last looking at everyone).

"So I have no one left who can deal with Bengal and Deccan "! I want Munim Khan to march for Deccan with Chugtai Khan "! Information of our failure assumption every attempt will failed won't let us get any success ever "! Get our intelligence officer alert about the situation of Deccan and Bengal to give us each update about their "!

"So you suggest us to go for war "!

"With warrior I am sending a diplomatic person"! what you think I want "?

"I got it but what about Amer "! we even though send massage to Adham and Sharif"; yet they're not ready to depart from there with Troop yet"!

"Planning to visit Amer at such critical time"!' mean inviting death for yourself"! the advisers the scholars the ministers advised the same to your brother and defying them made him pay with his life '!

"He was fearless and so I am "!and even you know I know "! Amer isn't behind his death"! And he might be unprepared but I ain't'! For empire peace it's required"! On emperor part to go there"!

(Mirza sigh he would hate himself for forever if Jodha suffer at hand of his brother. Cause he was the one who got her at his sight and forced her into causing so much trouble to them. What she did was reflex action of capitive who just fought for freedom without care how the fight cause destruction to other. If he was punished and humiliated then she was punished without her fault and humiliated for things they did not her. He knew his brother won't leave any stone unturned to make her suffer if only he could stop him).

Amer Fort

"How many were Martyrs today "!

"We hadn't get done with number yet your highness it will take time "!

"As always in every every war"! the massive massacre of humanity happen"! at the hand of human only "! What a shame "!

(Thought Mainwati inwardly then started unfolding the letter scroll which were sent to her, then she focus her attention on lying report on stock sources they're relay on the more she read the merrier her annoyance increase).

"Your highness we are sure it's matter to worry for "! We arrested at least 45 of such men who were trying to instigate people against her highness "!

"Did they reveal anything"?

"No your highness "!

"Then keep them in cell"; no need to release them"! and get hold on everyone"! ,who seem to doing this her highness will take decision on it "! when she come back"!

(Mainawati who was listening about the issue spoke and continue looking at the report on her subjects. She was sure what to do but unsure about limit. She and Jodha both are merciless when it's come to traitors no matter who they are what they are, while Avantika always seem to have second thought about giving harsh punishment to anyone who belong to Amer).

"I failed to understand "! why the food stock always get in crisis "! as soon the war happen "! We were well prepared isn't it "!

(Spoke Dowgar Queen Mainawati in annoyance, as soon she heard about the crisis of food, in few place in city. She was sure it's hand of some enemy ,who is working under disguise of ally. and she wasn't entirely wrong as next set of words spoken by her prime adviser Utkarsh clear it all).

"Your highness not in entire state "! but few places are suffering from it cause "! The few place the merchant arrived by out state "! And they prefer to sold it accordingly to their own will '!

(They were bit unsure, when they spoke to her and knowing how her temper Is already high. they didn't wanted to have get worked up more, but it was really right to let her aware , about everything so immune to consequence they told her).

"Then stop that "! And March our soldier there to get hold on traitors", who are our ally but working as snake under sleeves"! Trying to weaken the city from inside "!

"As you command "! your highness "!

######################################

Amer Border

"What's going to be our next stretegy "? Your highness "!

"Not sure about them"! but we are definitely weak on part of west '! And bad point we are left with five artillery "!

(Jodha Avantika were present , in tent discussing about next day war stretegy . but listening weak point like any leader , they were bit disappointed. Avantika was silent but Jodha like alway speak first . taking sip of water from glass she spoke in firm tone)

"Father often said appear weak"! when you're strong and appear strong when you are weak '!

"They might be aware of such phrase "! and enemy plot as such"!

"Our strategy for tomorrow"! should be Ardh-chakra formation to win war addition of Bow trap"!

"Elobrate cause it won't be easy to use"! such formation with such less number of our Army "!

(Jodha listening her sister word, nodded her head in agreement. that it won't be easy but it won't be impossible either. She took the stick look at the wooden craft model laid on. She within slight changes made Cercent form).

"At right end Vishwajeet you will be deploy"! with Horse riders on front like unbreakable wall"! while group of archers behind"! at the side of them will be two artillery you"! along the up's Samar Jeet you will be leading the troop"!, of swordsmen then Bhan Singh you will be charge of left end "! like Vishwjeet Along the up's Param Jeet you will be leading the troop of swordsmen"!. At the centre on front with artillery"! and group of spear men her highness will be present"! while I am going to take at tip of formation with troop"!

(Jodha explained further, that swordsmen men troop , which will be behind there leader and before the archers , will be on Bow Shape. At first seeing there's weak walk front the enemies , may get encourage, at one of trap set by them. they will take step back as soon Jodha and rest of them will step back. Avantika will move forward in Arrow Shape formation, with her Spear men troop , while the swordsmen will take a front layer in Bow manner , to strike on them and time to the archers will attack , even Artillery will be use according to situation. Everyone discuss about all this for while, at how many number of swordsmen archers they shall divide in groups , to lead when the question arise there are chance, the north part bear the attack as well but then the situation there was handled skillfully by Ajit sing . with his chief leaders Dushyant Sisodia, Karn Singh Ranawat Sangram Singh. After all all of them agreed Jodha spoke further. So done finalising there strategy which will change time to time as the situation will demand they all retire for night more likely to check up on everyone as soon the leaders left).

"You think "! I did wrong by arriving here"? leaving my post your highness'!

"I don't think"! Cause you arrived the place"! where you were needed the most at right time '!

"What you think"? may happen tomorrow '!

"I ain't sure Jodha "! none are sure but one thing I know"! and I can say with confidence"!, tomorrow won't be our last '!

(Jodha look at Avantika with soft gaze and overhlmed with emotion hugged her tightly. Making her get teary eye as well, she to responded to the hug. They didn't knew what tomorrow hold for them. or Amer in name of fate. They didn't knew they will be able to defeat there enemy or not they knew just one thing , right at the moment they need to bare their heart to each other . so in case if they face their end there won't be any regret in their heart. For not able to express what one meant for another).

"I was hurt you didn't come for my aid "! when I was at mercy of our enemy"! , then used me as pawn first by agreeing with Prince Ranvijay then Mughal emperor. I felt betrayed unwanted "!

"I know what Honor, freedom relation mean to us "! but just like with time according to situation"! law changes even priorities and meaning of such things change as well "!

(Jodha gaped at the words of her sister she couldn't believe , what she is hearing that to from her own elder sister change really how it can change, when they are raised to fight for their freedom and sacrifice their life for Honor . Then how it can change how for living they can sacrifice their freedom and Honor. And brought shame upon their Ancestors who died by giving them legacy of bravery even they must loved their subject and concerned about them. Even they must detested the idea of war and the destruction it's brought but they didn't back away knowing they either fight or die give in and die they are gonna face death in anyway. Yet they didn't back away never did there stories are what she heard from childhood failure wasn't case Thier courage and bravery to even face death with smile what always made her strong to never give up fight further and always No matter what come on way yet here she is listening words from her own sister who isn't only her elder sister but leader of entire Amer a queen. Knowing what might be going through at Jodha mind at moment Avantika look at her and open her mouth to say something but Jodha walked out of tent for her own. Leaving Thoughtful and unsure Avantika behind who get lost in recalling the words of Mughal Emperor when she get to have word with him alone).

"I wasn't really sure"! I may brace by such a heart warming welcome here "! after what my brother did '!

"I didn't expected you to be sure either "! for oblivious reason , but I can say you should know your opponent before striking any deal or visiting them at least "!

(He said nothing yet the ghostly smiled playing on his face made it clear he isn't one to let go the game of words sooner. Black color silvery thread worked on jacket over Brown golden Color combination check long Kurta , few pearl neckless around neck , waist band made of pearl, dagger which was peeking out from his jacket, she didn't failed to see the regal royal manner in which he wore rounded turban on head studded with precious stones which was clear mark of his prestige and persona. Apart from thumb all his fingers were clad is silver rings precious stones studded in).

"There is nothing left for us "! to discuss anymore we are left with only one option "! or should I say led to one and sole option "! war which end everything for once and all"!

(Even though he was talking with Queen yet he failed to see her face as it was cover by veil. Not he expected her to bare face before him or any other men expect her to be or her own family males yet the way she speak and presented herself gracefully before him did had him charmed. To which Avantika was herself aware. Yet just like two shrewd opponent both didn't let there inner view exposed to other. Played diplomatic game of word with each other).

"We both can't undoe what's already done the least we can do it try to fix whatever or however we can. To other we as leader have to command for war or strike for deal. But as diplomat and leader we can figure out better way of-course' you have option come to war against us but for how long !

"Till enternity cause with barbarous invader we only left with option to fight till we win or die, cause making deal is like taking slow poison "!

"At least you know not striking deal led to quick death and striking deal led to slow death both way it's led to invitable death"!

"It's important for our enemies and allies to be aware we don't fear death in case our both option led us to death I prefer former way at least it dignified one '!

"Dignity '! what about the dignity of one brave heart shrewd warrior, who made my men get the taste of hell and shove them in fire alive"! Humiliation led to isolation all left for her in life "!

"I don't see it's any of your concern "! Even it is then it's not only us who are to blamed '!

"Glad to hear we are at same sailing boat in commited sin "! How about for once and last time we try for peaceful deal. By our peacefully negotiation "!

"Friendship hardly mean anything while promises are meant to break in politics , so there is no way out for us anymore '!

"Well yeah breaking friendship is very easy how about we build strong bond", between us for peace and wellfare of our subject '!

(Realising where the conversation heading by now Avantika didn't even wish to go with flow she immediately made excuse and ask him to leave for room to retire for night. She thought about his words allot and the next meeting when they held Avantika was surely determine to strike another deal. To prevent any further war to have Jodha some authority she was tired of seeing her sister led to isolation by her own emotions cause of humiliation she faced).

"Your highness may I step in '!

(A maid request broke , Avantika chain of thoughts , she look back and saw , A maid standing at entrance of tent ,with meal and waiting for her to grant her permission to step in and serve her. She nodded and motion by hand to get on with her task).

Chapter 14

"Why they're not making any move "?

(What's going on in enemies mind today , it's been more then week no attack happen by Mughal side so the stretegy they plan for war get to imply but the enemies weren't prepared for it thus they were pushed back in defeat. Even though the leaders were still alive Amer won the battle. Alas they can't celbrate victory yet cause the enemies nor surrender neither they left the borders. Infact two week had been passed but they didn't attack back no movement had been shown by their side. Taking advantage of no attack the west part skillfully and it was no longer the most weakest spot anyway. Yet Amer Army didn't left from border areas they're still patrolling there each morning they will stand on war field but none will come for attack. Having them fear the worse annoy as hell in their view enemies move and no move at all is worrisome. Cause even being before you they're not taking step to defeat you then either they planning worse and trying to rebuild courage and get stronger or they're trying to figure out some wicked way to defeat you. And if they made move then it's troublesome anyway).

"Something big going to happen I can feel it alas I can't pin point what's that can be "!

(The only thing running in her mind war stretegy to win the war and whenever she will get so distracted she will read book about brave warriors prefer to die then live on knees. Jodha doesn't fear for her life cause in her view death is invitable universal truth, why to fear the thing which is invitable anyway. being worshipper of Lord Krishna she followed the phrase of Bhagwat Geeta, it was mention there the Moksha Saints achieve by years of performing yog Sadhna, warriors achieve just by fighting in war. If we give up fighting for our mother land our sacrifice will praised by world for years and years cause it's say ( "अहिंसा परमो धर्म: l "धर्म हिंसा तथैव च: l ) non-violence is the ultimate Dharma , so too is violence in service of Dharma).

"To much just to live in peace "!

(Reading about one of the most fearless lady warrior Ram Pyari Gurjar born in Chauhan Gurjar who forced Amir Timur (Timur Lang) who arrived in India at time of namesake ruler (Nasiruddin Tughlak) ,to abnondon his Indian campaign mid way and run away for his dear life. In the book it was mention driven by the solidatry aim to establish the supremacy Islam in India permanently to make get it under one rule one religion one way. It was clear by the fact when he invaded Delhi he intentionally spared the area where muslim were in majority and specially targeted Sanatani population. Countless people fell to the swords of the barbaric invaders and countless others were enslaved by Timur and his barbaric force. When the news reach the jat region then the chief of jat region Devapala organised a maha panchayat immediately which included everyone the purpose of such organisations was simple to unite and make Timur get the taste of hell for sin he was committing without any hesitation. Thus the force of 80000 assemble together a reserve force of 40000 was created in which only women and this was the force commanded by Ram Pyari Gurjar , while the chief force commanded by Mahabali Jograj Singh Gurjar while his loyal Nobel commander was Harveer Singh Gulia , according to consentrated plan 500 horse riders were instructed to follow Timur and his force and spy on them to get an indication of his plans and future attack. Ram Pyari Gurjar took oath to defeat him even if it's cost her life. She trained the 40000 thoushands women assisted by Hardai Jaat , Devi Kaur Rajput Chandro Brahman and Ram Tyagi. The women were from every community many who never even seen the face of weapon or took them in hands yet under Her are not only they saw and pick up but they trained as skilled warrior. Cause it was matter of their mother land matter of Thier dignity their freedom they couldn't let it sacrifice without fight no matter what may come. And then come the day of War 1,20,000 warrior waited for leader for war cry by their beloved general Mahabali Jograj Singh Gurjar).

"How many times I warn you "? don't try to sneak up on me', specially when I am reading books '!

(Jodha was getting at very interesting page of book the excitement the hestitation was getting on her hesd. Yet she sense something odd in air. And within next fraction of second she get her dagger out and Spoke Jodha keeping the dagger on maid neck almost sucking the breath out of her, in sheer fear not only she yelp but winch badly seeing how after Knowing it's her. Jodha didn't get dagger away from her throat so she spoke in low tone gasping for air).

"Aah pardon me your highness her highness instructed me to inform you "! she expect you at her tent "!

"You could as permission before stepping in and come this close '!

I wanted to but but you strictly forbidden us from disturbing if you hear one word by any of us you will "!

"Fine I got it now leave '!

(Keeping the dagger away making the Maid sigh she step further then heard, Jodha words and run away without delaying. Jodha look at the book And close it sighing she got up set her dagger on waist band and wore the glove then took her sword and walked out of her tent. Even though no attack happen yet everyone were well armed always. Jodha herseld didn't switch to silk princess type femine dress. white color plain full sleeved high neck collar type frock a silk white color veil on face white color Pajama, silver chain mail, which was design in full sleeved O cut shape Top. In last The golden color thick iron armour over chain mail. As soon she saw the sight before her it's not only confused her but made her shudder with unknown invitable fear. What's meaning of this what's going on they're leaving that we are leaving now or something else happen what might be purpose of our Army vacating the border areas. Lots of questions crossed in her mind but knowing she can't get answer on own she hurried towards Avantika by luck she saw her out ready to mount on horse but seeing Jodha coming she stopped and spoke).

"You're late don't tell me you were occupied in book '!

"Yes I was but what's matter here what's going on '?

"Nothing much we're leaving for palace "!

"But why ? You know I know even they know the war isn't over yet "!

"There is difference between knowing and happenings Jodha alas it's not right place to answer your queries let's head to palace I will answer you there '!

"It will take at least two hour for us to reach palace you think I can stay having paitence "? till we arrive there to get answer '!

"Well such discussion can't happen at such open area Jodha you know better the consequence of doing it "!

"Tell me we aren't having any peace treaty with them it's disgraceful don't make any deal now "!

(Avantika look at Jodha with sheer discomfort at how she always figure out things so soon. Jodha read the silence of Avantika she get it again a deal she wanted to yell at frustration and call her sister coward but after what happened weak back she know the consequence of doing any such thing better. Not everyone yet even few part of her subject see her at reason of war is enough to have her heart bleed with in pain soul cry in shame. She didn't ask or say anything further just give a silent defeated nod making Avantika look elsewhere. She saw the look in few Soldier who were present and watching both of them talking they can't hear them but they knew what they might be talking about. They all refocus their attention on task in hands while Avantika mount on horse and rode back to palace. Leaving Jodha standing behind if the veil wasn't on everyone would seen the devasted look of her. She rush back to her tent and saw the book which she left by keeping peacock feather between the page from where she left. For seconds she wish to burn all of it like every invaders does what's point of reading them and get courageous by heart when at the end you have to walk throw the weakest path. Yet she decided to read further with promise it will be last time she will be reading any book on warrior. Thus she continues reading the book. No matter how many times she read books of Great warrior ladies who made invador like Mohammed Ghori and Timur. It's always left spell bound and made her heart more courages then before but from past two day unknown restlessness had gripped her heart and instead of reducing its increasing with each passing second she try more to read book but she failed closing it she kept that aside and drank water then went out to have sword practice alone).

"What are you thinking Jalal "?

(Ask Abdul who come back to him to discuss about their plan . But seeing his friend lost in thoughts, looking up at sky he can't help with curiousity and ended up questioning him. Jalal took a deep breath and answer him back in low husky tone).

"Nothing much I just fear if we didn't get to establish our supremacy soon on this land '! We may face same fate as previous ruler did "!

"We can't do anything just by thinking Jalal not only previous ruler but presently we to did nothing to recreate good image before the people here '!

(Jalal thought for moment but said nothing it was true how he can get in doguise of most tolrant leader when he is being tolrant is towards own community people and being merciless to others. He know lots of laws and action implied by his force his advisers ministers on people of this land are wrong unacceptable. Yet he do nothing to stop them how can he stop them when he himself in smart part seem to agree with them. When he himself seem to follow the phrase everything can be achieved by force. How he can oppose them when his ancestors did the same. No wonder they couldn't rule for long but they did get to rule and created history destroy the history of here itself for next generation).

"What's going on '?

(Ask Jalal as soon he heard voice of music he was at borders of Rajputana standing at the mid on carpet laid before a temporary throne. His carvan was well established in temporary palace type style . Abdul who listen the voice as well failed to fathom what's that about so he motion the guard to get information about it).

"I failed to get when entire Rajputana is under critical time' of war how people can enjoy here "!

"The people who worship lords of death "! do you think in fear of death, who come to them in the form of war "! can have them sulk in place silently Abdul "!

(Abdul nodded in no and look at Jalal who himself was looking at his sword waiting for soldier to come up with information about the voice. But the soldier not only come up with information but the head of his security troop Afzal Mehmood come up with group of Wonderers who roam in state perform dance, sang about brave warriors their God's before folk and get appreciation by local , sometime even get to perform before king who reward them highly for Thier performance. There were group of ten ladies and 20 men. Jalal fisted his hand he was sitting on his throne oblivious to fact he didn't order them to get the group of people here in such brutual manner they were dragged to him. But he said nothing and waited for them to clear why they're presented before him in way as if they're culprit and who they are).

"Your majesty they're traitor being here to spy on us they're having flags of Rajputana king ', they were even singing about the bravery of them before the local folk here '!

(Jalal sigh before they all presented before him rest of his advisers arrived in the tent, as well and after formal greeting well settled on couch they all hear soldier words. And look excpetdly towards Jalal to know his action regarding all this. But Jalal said nothing and look at Abdul who knowing his wish look at Group of people and ask them. If there is anything they have to say about thing they're accused for. The head of group come forward his clad in white plain dhoti which had mud stain on. Plain saffron Color kurta, had big black beared and moustache there was saffron Color turban on his head folding his hand he spoke firmly without trace of fear).

"We are Nomadic of Rajputana"!, Mewar origin we sing and dance for Common folk"! to entertain them to tell them"! Valor of people who sacrifice their life for them "! cause we are nomadic artist"!, from start Artist always been immune to boundaries formed by communities kings or leaders"!

(Jalal was amused not only by his fearless persona but courage to voice out what he had in mind. He glance at his courtier to see their reaction but found them glancing at him only. After few second Jalal notion the guards to leave and spoke looking at people).

"Then perform for us "! Earn your reward by performing for us and achieve freedom by entertaining us '!

(The group of people shared a look at each other they were aware who they're presented before. They knew if they sing for their brave warrior, the person might not like it and he may punish them gravely while they knew the outcome of singing about pride of any states as well. Alas at end they decided if their ancestors could sacrifice their life for them then they should have gut to sing talk and perform about them as well. The group settled and tuned their respective instruments the leader gave a loud signal to percussionist the sitar player strummed giving out melodious sound. The ladies bend in Mujra once began the performance it was about story of Queen Padmini of Chittor warriors of Chittor who fought who got Martyr).

Padmini ki sundarta pe jiska man lalchhaya tha

Le kar ke sena Khilji Chittor aaya tha

Jeet nahi paya tha jab wo talwaro aur teero se

Khel rachya dhoke ka tab rajastani veero se

Mewadi ran bankuro ne di aahuti pran ki

Satiyo ne johar karke jaan bachai aan ki

Jaan bachai aan ki jaan bachai aan ki

(the tale of A victory for righteous the lust of foreigners had made mothers sisters who surrender themselves to sacrificial fire. But it seem God had turned blind eye the sacrifice of Rajputs was laid to dust. The performance was high on emotion from the time they started everyone present in tent was left spell bound. The men sang while women dance the men perform warfare the women played with fire as if they themselves are goddess of fire. The air get thick it's got hard for courtier to even breath as how intrigued they got by the performance. Jalal had never seen such performance as for him they weren't performing they were living each word each emotion. That at the end he himself felt ,anger towards the ruler who just come to fight for women sacrificing thoushands of live for his sinful desire for married women. He motion towards servant to pass them bag fill with gold coins).

"Your majesty they '?

"They're free to leave "!

(When one of advisers was going to ask about action regarding the troop of nomadic Jalal didn't even let him finished. And answer them in ordering tone. Which made them greet him and walked out of tent with prideful smile).

####################################

"Dicate the letter to his majesty", I Genral of Mewat commander of Mughal Army , Sharif Ud din Husain ready for ultimate unconditional surrender "!

"Sharif do you even know what you're saying '?

(Ask Adham as soon he step in his tent and heard him dictating letter to his servant which will sent to Jalal. He had an unbelievable look on his face he look at Sharif and settled before him on couch).

"I know Adham that's why I am saying what's better for us "!

(Sharif look at Adham and answer him in calm firm voice. He was tired and his one lost keg broken his sprit to no end. He wasn't a warrior and hero of war but wicked diplomat and good manipulator even in that he failed before Jalal always. And now when he knew he become Emperor Sharif was aware no matter if he get to be left alive in Rajputana for war but he will die at hand of Jalal later on. Thus to get in good book of Jalal he was ready to surrender even though surrender wasn't assuring for him yet he had no option left at least unconditional surrender can have Jalal bit soften towards the punishment for him he hope and pray).

"He will kill us "!

(Sharif winch at Adham words he to knew the consequence of surrender going to be grave but he trusted his father Khwaja Moin ,who can definitely use his position of courtier and scholar in court. While same was case with Adham even he can trust his mother who not only milked Jalal but being close to him more then Jalal own mother. Thus both can have a life ahead if they surrender at least hoping for it. Entire world live on hope then what's wrong if he hope for positivity even being most negative and evil person).

"It was wrong on our part to be here isn't it"?

(Ask Adham while filling his glass by wine and taking sip from it looking at Sharif who was still having hard time coping with his one leg. Sharif look back at him and nodded then spoke).

"Yes no doubt not only we are defeated infact we lost golden opportunity to become Emperor as well "!

"I heard he married twice already "!

"I heard same and it's not surprising he was engaged to her highness "! when he was just 11"!, while marrying Wife of Bairam Khan"! was sheer move on his part"! against traitors living in disguise of loyal"!

(Adham nodded at Sharif words as he himself was well aware about Jalal actions and intention. Though he was against the idea of surrender but seeing Sharif action he to decided to Dicate a letter of surrender to Jalal already he lost his army and even at morning he send letter to Amer royals of his departure from border area accepting defeat. Therefore nothing was left for them to do anymore. Thus both of them together left from Amer borders with their small troop).

#####################################

(Jodha who took her own sweet time to finish the book for last time was last one to arrive in palace entrance, therefore none was there to welcome her nor she expected it. Infact it was one of main reason she come late she just wanted to head to her room and rest for while but the sight of Mughal soldier in fort made her stomach churn in fear of something big Her grip on horse rein and sword got tighten).

"How the hell they get in here '? Most importantly what they're doing here'?

(She glance around and saw Ajit Singh coming with Atharv Singh instructing him about something which Jodha failed to hear as she was far but as soon their sight fell on Jodha they rush to her. They held the rein of her horse making Jodha step down from horse but before she could ask them about Mughal soldier inside palace Ajit Singh spoke in firm tone).

"Greeting your highness we were coming to check up on you. Her highness expecting your arrival at Court right now "!

(Jodha open her mouth to voice out her questions at them when glancing around Atharva beat her at it and spoke firmly in low tone looking at her horse face).

"Your doubts and unasked question will get clarify at court your highness it's better we hurry to reach there "!

(Jodha didn't get but the way they both talk Made her knew whatever the reason behind Mughal being inside palace it's definitely not good for her. Yet she dare to let her nervousness evident she wanted to rush at room for rest but now even getting herself in comfortable dress wasn't possible cause she need to present at court now. First time when was greatful for the veil which she had to wear cause of being princess as it's hide her nervousness very well while the soldier doesn't dare to meet eye with her).

"The alliance was made between previous Emperor then how can you exert it '? He is no more hence the deal is no more "!

(Jodha heard her sister right handed men Vishwjeet firm words and it's halted her step itself she found her legs weaken enough not to obey her command to move her further. While the deadly silence court by Vishwjeet words broke by Jodha foot step everyone gaze got fix on her she was still in her warrior uniform thus it was difficult for anyone to get to gaze at her face. It's look like any moment she may rush for war even being well armoured she could feel the thick intense gaze of devil on herself. She wanted to rush at her sister but she didn't or shall we say she couldn't).

"Your highness we will like you to read the peace treaty again it's clearly mentioned", Princess Jodha Bai had to marry the Mughal emperor". But name of emperor isn't mentioned "! Now Abul Fath Jalal Ud-Din Mohammed is emperor of Mughal Empire thus her highness Jodha Bai had to marry him '!
