"What is happening?" Sachin yelled as the soldiers flooded into the hall.
Acuthan on the stage just froze and his eyes fixed on Viswa, standing blood-soaked in the middle of the hall. They were surrounded by royal soldiers.
"ARGHHH!!!" A bloodcurdling scream echoed from behind.
Acuthan glanced back with the others on the stages. The head of a Jadhav family elder rolled to his feet. Asokan and his body were equipped with swords.
"Lord... Asokan." He stuttered. "What is the meaning of this?"
"Acuthan, you have crossed the line." Asokan said coldly, slicing off the neck of another Elder.
"Why are you betraying us again, you damned bastard?" Acuthan yelled. "Is this your loyalty?"
"There was no loyalty in the first place." Asokan replied
"What?" Sachin asked, moving back slowly from him.
"I was here on Lord Viswa's orders." Asokan smiled.
