Now enough of my bakwas here is the Chapter

Ashoka was in deep thinking in his private tent. He has summoned Abhimanyu, Senapati Rudra & Acharya Devrarth. They will be here any moment.

Senapati Rudra, Abhimanyu & Acharya Devrarth entered tent. Ashoka acknowledged thier presence with a nod.

Ashoka : Abhimanyu you will leave for Patliputra immediately with the Mauryan Army.

Abhimanyu was shocked.

Abhimanyu : But Bhrata Keechak is still alive?

Ashoka : I know trust me it is important for you to go there.

Abhimanyu : Nothing is important more than you.

Ashoka : You will now & it’s final. Don’t interrupt(as Abhimanyu showed every sign of interrupting). You will give details of battle to Pitaji Maharaj about the death of Meer Khurasan, Selucus Nicator’s alliance with Keechak, & most important tell him about the timely arrival of Ujjaini Sena.

Abhimanyu : But why me a soldier can do this ?

Ashoka : I can’t trust anyone other than you & also tell pitaji I will be back by tommorrow.

Abhimanyu : I am still unsure about leaving you alone.

Ashoka : Now the thing I am telling you will have to be shared with Pitaji Maharaj in Private.

Abhimanyu : What is it ?

Ashoka : RajMata Helena being a traitor of Magadh.

Every face was stunned in the tent.

Devrarth : I think it would be appropriate if you tell him yourself with proof.
.
Ashoka : There is no time we have to act fast Magadh can be under attack anytime as I believe Selucus will attack Magadh with thee Unani Army & Khurasani Army.

Abhimanyu : But what if he won’t believe me ?

Ashoka : I have a plan if he not believes you & I am certain he will not believe you.

Ashoka told the plan to Abhimanyu(you will get to know soon guys).

Ashoka : Now leave immediately.

Abhimanyu hugged Ashoka & Ashoka reciprocated.

Ashoka : Go now I will return tommorrow.

Abhimanyu left the tent to address the Army.

Ashoka : Senapati Rudra you also return to Ujjain.

Rudra : But what is your strategy Rajkumar? You have sent back Rajkumar Abhimanyu as well & now you are asking me to leave as well.

Ashoka : The job of armies is done Senapati Rudra now Keechak is alone & I shall defeat him alone.

Rudra was stunned into silence listening to courageos words of a 14yr old Rajkumar.

Rudra : As you wish Rajkumar I will leave as soon as possible.

Senapati Rudra left the tent.

Ashoka : Acharya Devrarth I want to enter the Royal Palace as soon as possible.

Devrarth : It can be very risky. They will have a trap set for you for sure.

Ashoka : I have to there must be a way other than the main entrance.

Devrarth was thinking will it be safe that way.

Devrarth : There is a way RajKumar but it has not been used for quite a time now.

Ashoka :Tell me Acharya I will do anything to reach there.

Devrarth : There is a GuptMarg from Takshshila Vishvidhalya to Royal Palace which was constructed on the orders of Acharya Chanakya to transport the Royal Family in case of emergency.

Ashoka : Who else knows about you other than Acharya Chanakya & you.

Devrarth : There is a person Amatya Rakshas & my source from Royal Palace says he is here in Takshshila.

Ashoka was shocked as he knew Amatya Rakshas was dead.

Ashoka : But he is dead. How can this be possible?

Devrarth : I know but my source will never give wrong information.

Ashoka : Who is this source Acharya? Who is helping us?

Devrarth : Devi Bhamini wife of Keechak.

Ashoka was stunned with this new revelation.

Ashoka : But why is she supporting us that to against her husband?

Devrarth : Because she wants Takshshila to be Liberated from Keechak.

Ashoka : For that Keechak will have to die.

Devrarth : Yes he will have to.

Ashoka : She is okay with that.

Devrarth : It’s her destiny Ashoka. It’s necessary.

Ashoka : So It’s final we will be using GuptMarg to reach there.

Devrarth : Ji Rajkumar I will make the arrangements for leaving.

Outside the Tent.

Abhimanyu was leaving for Patliputra with the Mauryan Army.

Ashoka was speaking to Abhimanyu.

Ashoka : Reach there as fast as possible. Alert Pitaji Maharaj about what I told you. Now leave.

Abhimanyu mounted his horse & left with the Army.

Senapati Rudra was also leaving with Ujjaini Sena.

Ashoka : Senapati Rudra it was good having you here. Your Army was a great help in this War. DHANYAVAAD.

Rudra : It was our duty to Rani Ahankara & Samrat Bindusara and now we shall leave.

Rudra left with his Army.

Ashoka : Acharya let’s meet with SudamaJi before leaving.

Sudama’s tent

Sudama was sitting on camp bed & her daughter Kratika was sleeping peacefully after a lot of days.

Ashoka entered the tent.

Sudama : RajKumar Please come in.

Ashoka : No SudamaJi it would be better if we talk outside as your Daughter is sleeping peacefully.

Ashoka & Sudama left the tent.

Ashoka : SudamaJi today i am going to liberate Takshshila from tyranny of Keechak I want to ask if you want to become Prantpal of Takshshila again.

Sudama : No Rajkumar certainly not I intend to come with you to Patplipura & spend my rest of life there.

Ashoka : That’s good but for that you will have to wait here I am leaving the rebellions with you they will protect you if something happens.

Sudama : But where are you going Rajkumar ?

Ashoka : To destroy Keechak.

Ashoka left leaving a confused Sudama behind.

Royal Palace

Keechak’s Chamber

Keechak was pacing in his chamber anxiously.

Bhamini his wife was sleeping peacefully & she should be as she is pregnant with his first child.

Keechak left his chamber & as he left Bhamini woke up and took out a small scroll which was sent by Acharya Devrarth.

Devi Bhamini
Rajkumar Ashoka & I will enter the Royal Palace from GuptMarg as soon as possible.You have to do something so everyone’s focus should be on main entrance & we will enter through main entrance.

Acharya Devrarth

Bhamini(Monologue): This is the only way to divert the gocus only on main entrance of place.

She took a piece of parchament & wrote something on it.

Raj Sabha

Keechak & Amatya Rakshas were discussing something just then a soldier entered with a small scroll which beared message of Ashoka.

Soldier : Mahanayak we found this scroll on the entrace of Royal Palace.

Rakshas : Give this to me & leave.

Keechak : What is it Rakshas?

Rakshas : A message from Ashoka.

Keechak : What is it ?

Keechak
I will enter your palace today only like a lion will kill you like a lion

Keechak(Angrily) : Ashoka I will definitely kill you.

Rakshas : Like a lion Mahanayak he will be coming through Main Entrance only.

Takshshila Vishvidhyalya

Ashoka & Acharya Devrarth entered the GuptMarg with the help of Map of Vishvidhalya.

Ashoka & Devararth were in Palace within a few minutes.

Devrarth : I know the way to RajSabha let’s go there Keechak will be there only.

Ashoka : I am surprised there is no security here I thought Amatya Rakshas was Known of this GuptMarg.

Devrarth : But they don’t know you & I know about it. Acharya Chanakya shared it with both of us but only I know that Rakshas also know about this & Rakshas is unaware of the fact that I know about this.

Ashoka : Acharya Chanakya must have forseen this type of situation.

Devrarth : Keechak’s main focus qould be on Main Entrance. Devi Bhamini would have ensured it.

Ashoka : Let’s go Acharya.

Raj Sabha Chamber

Keechak, Amatya Rakshas, Agnibahu were present in Sabha.

Keechak : Agnibahu is there any Information of Ashoka.

Agnibahu : Mahanayak Ashoka’s brother Abhimanyu has left for Patlipura with the Mauryan Army & Ujjaini Sena is gone as well.

Keechak started laughing loudly.

Keechak : Ashoka is Idiot is he willing to take me himself.

Ashoka : You are right Keechak I intend to deal with you alone.

Ashoka & Devrarth entered the RajSabha Chamber.

Rakshas : How come you are here I made all the arrangements to stop you.

Devrarath : You forgot about the GuptMarg Rakshas you focused on Entrance only.

Keechak : You have come into the mouth of Death. soldiers take him prisoner.

A dozen soldiers moved towards him.

Ashoka : Stop. You are to serve the Prantapal of Takshshila & I am the Prantpal showing them the Mohar(Royal Coin).Nobody will come in between.

Every soldier stooped

Keechak : Catch him Morons.

Ashoka : Keechak Let’s finish it let us combat & finish this forever.

Keechak : You a 14yr old will defeat me me.

Ashoka : I will not defeat you I will kill you.

Keechak : So what are talking let’s fight.

Rakshas : Mahanayak he is provoking you don’t do this.

Keechak : I am not a coward Rakshas I will kill him today.

Ashoka : This is not the place to fight Keechak let’s go to courtyard of the palace.

Keechak : I will complete your Last wish Ashoka.

Courtyard of Palace

It look liked whole Takshshila was gathered to witness the combat between Tyrant Keechak & Devanampriya Ashoka Maurya.

Keechak & Ashoka were standing facing each other.

Keechak : Get ready for your last fight Rajkumar Ashoka.

Ashoka : We will see whose last fight is it.

Keechak & Ashoka charged towards each other.

Thier swords met with a clang. Ashoka pushed Keechak back with all the force he posess.

Keechak was surprised the way Ashoka was battling. He again charged towards Ashoka but Ashoka blocked it easily.

Ashoka : Keechak your end is near you can’t win against me.

Ashoka pushed Keechak back & slashed his Sword on his Right shoulder. Keechak recoiled on being injured.

Keechak : Ashoka these small injuries won’t matter me.

Keechak slashed his sword in air to harm Ashoka but Ashoka was too quick for him he moved aside & slashed Keechak’s Left shoulder as well.

Keechak was fuming , his eyes were bloodshot red he charged towards Ashoka in fury but Ashoka bent down & slashed his both knees with ChandraGupta Maurya’s Sword.

Keechak fell on his knees & Ashoka quickly beheaded him killing Keechak.

Rakshas was arrested on Ashoka’s orders.

Raj Sabha Chamber

Keechak was Dead. Time has come for Ashoka to leave Takshshila & he wants to leave immediately.

Ashoka : As Prantpal of Takshshila I appoint Devi Bhamini as temperorary Prantpal until Samrat Bindusara Maurya appoint a appropriate Prantpal.

Bhamini : But Rajkumar Ashoka I can’t do this.

Ashoka : Listen Bhamini Ji I have to leave immediately & you are the only one who I can appoint as Prantpal.

Bhamini : What about Sudama Ji ?

Ashoka : He is coming with me to Patliputra.So you are the only one .

Nayak entered the RajSabha.

Nayak : Pranam RajKumar.

Ashoka : Nayak you are a free man I free you from the oath of your ancestors you are coming with me to Patlipura where you will take the path of Senapati.

Nayak : Ji RajKumar.

Ashoka : Acharya Devrarth you will be advisor to Devi Bhamini & to the one who succeds her.
