WAR(I)

Two days ago, Camp, Lotus Kingdom.

After the ambush in the middle of the night, the team discussed their next move.

"We need to start and carefully reach the Jasmine Kingdom as fast as we can," Ashmita said.

"Yes, they should no way get what we're up to. I have a plan," Maira smirked.

"Like always!"

"We shall exchange our attires with the fallen Rose Kingdom army. The uniform the corpses are wearing is level 2. This gives us the chance to make a surprise attack on the enemies. We shall confuse them and get them even before they could recognize what hit them.

"That is perfect, Master. Do we need a backup plan, you think? " Prathap questioned.

"No. No need. We shall execute this one flawlessly," Miara responded.

"As you say, Master."

And Now..

There are only a few hours left for night to come and all the Ministers in the Jasmine are perplexed by the events unfolding before their eyes.

"What do you mean by this? How come there is another army?" Minister Khan roared.

"Do you confirm?" Varma snapped.

"Yes, my Lord. It is a huge army which seems to be a combination of the Rose Kingdom's army and some other one," the messenger replied.

"Were you able to recognize the other one?" Dhamu asked.

"I.. I guess it is Lotus Kingdom's. My Lord," Messenger responded.

"Lotus Kingdom!!?" The ministers were shocked again. They are missing the count of shocks they received today.

The Lotus Kingdom army along with its men in disguise of Rose army, is headed towards the fort gates and the Ministers fell into a dilemma.

They went to the rooftop to see what's happening outside the walls of the fort.

Minister Khan took the binoculars from a soldier and checked the army to find a familiar face.

"I don't know anybody in that army, '' Minister Khan stated.

"What should we do now?" Minister Varma asked.

"I am confused," Minister Rao exclaimed.

"My Lord, the army reached our gates. They will enter in any minute soon. We are expecting your presence there to welcome the army, my Lord" one of the soldiers informed Khan.

"We already informed our soldiers to open the gates. Shall we go and see the situation there, Minister Khan?" Minister Dhamu inquired.

Time is ticking and Minister Khan is searching for any familiar face in the army. There is no flag and it is a combination of 2 kingdom armies.

Before Minister Khan placed down his binoculars he noticed something.

He adjusted the binoculars and carefully examined them.

The person who is wearing a lotus army uniform slowly unfolds a cloth and ties it to a stick.

Sweat beads formed on the minister's forehead and before he knew it, they were at their doors.The flag of Lotus Kingdom was being waved by that person.

"CLOSE THE GATES!" The Minister yelled causing all the ministers to jolt.

"Close..! Close the gates! They are enemies!!" Minister Khan roared.

"Soldiers! Close the main gates. Everyone into position and aim.."

Before minister Dhamu finished his words, the Lotus army reached the castle's main gates and shooted a sea of arrows in the air.

The arrows got stuck to the guards and soldiers at the main gates. They all fell to the ground.

And the Lotus army successfully entered the jasmine kingdom.

"Everyone! In the position, shoot!"

"Guards! Bring the weapons and hand them to everyone."

"Don't let the enemies come any further. Attack!!"

Suddenly the environment becomes chaotic and the Rose kingdom army is trying their best to attack.

"Prathap, lead the east wing!"

"Karthik, take your army and attack south!"

"Vijay, take down the west side of the castle."

"Ashmita, Veda come with me, we shall go inside the castle and take control," Maira informed everyone and they all went to fulfill their tasks.

Shilpa and her troop got separated and hidden. They are shooting arrows from different places making the enemy relentless to defend.

"Minister Varma, handle the east side palace".

"Minister Dhamu, you take the west!"

"Minister Rao takes care of the south wing."

"I will protect the central piece." Minister Khan stated and he is ready with his army to attack the intruders.

Maira, Ashmita and Veda are fearlessly moving forward and assassinating the enemies. They are moving in a way that they know the palace's each and every corner.

With every passing minute, they are getting close to their parents.

The sudden screams disturbed the common people and the trusted men of Shivraj got alerted.

This disturbs Shivraj and Aaradhya who are talking about their children.

"Shiv, what is happening?"

"We are being attacked! Everyone be alert and kill the enemy!" a soldier announced to the guards.

Shivraj and Aaradhya looked at each other with shock and surprise.

"Shiv!?"

"I guess our freedom is near Aari," Shivraj commented.

"Shiv, do you think the attack is by our daughters?" Aaradhya asked.

"Of course Aari. It is our own blood!" Shivraj replied.

"The day has finally come!!," Aaradhya exclaimed.

"Let me inform our people and get them to help our kids," Shiv stated.

"Yes. Added force will make it easy to defeat the enemies," Aaradhya added.

Shivraj sent a signal to his people with his messenger pigeon.

Shivraj's men outside are confused by the sudden attack. They don't know whether to help them or not. They don't even know whether these are the people who they were informed to help or not.

They saw the attackers going towards the main palace and their eyes were glued to them. They saw the flag and the face of the person who is holding the flag is wrapped round with a cloth.

The cloth slowly slid down and his face was revealed. Shivraj's people's eyes widened with shock.
