Just like Veer, Dhishva told his soldiers to stop outside the forest and went inside. Vikram also entered inside the forest from a distance and followed Dhishva.
Dhishva stopped at the centre of the forest and said. "Come out. Instead of my son, I am here to meet you."
The man behind the trees was scared as well as confused to see Dhishva, thinking that he has come to know about Veer and him trying to kill Viraaj and now Dhishva is here to kill him instead.
The man was about to run away when Dhishva said "I am not here to take revenge for my father. I am with you. You and I want the same thing, his death."
The man stopped on his place and turned around. Even though there was a bit hesitation in his heart, he came out.
Whereas Vikram was completely shocked to hear Dhishva. He can't believe what he just heard. His eyes were stuck on Dhishva in disbelief when the man came out from behind the trees and greeted Dhishva.
Dhishva just nod in response with emotionless face and said. "Give me the powder."
Even that man was confused and wasn't able to process what is happening. "Huh? Ah, yes yes."
He quickly opened his bag and took out a packet of yellow powder.
"How is he now?" The man asked.
Dhishva looked at him doubtfully and then answered. "Not so good. He is about to die. Tell your master that after this, stay away from my family and kingdom. He wanted to take revenge from my father which he is taking. After his death, your master will have nothing to do with my family. If he still want to live in past, tell him to go to Jwalana but never look at my kingdom again."
The man nod and Dhishva continued. "This is the last time you are entering in Aaro. Leave the kingdom right now. And don't you dare spill my or my son's name if you get caught."
"Alright. I will not." The man replied.
By their conversation, Vikram understood that the master of this man is also connected to Jwalana and have enmity which gave him the idea who it could be.
After that, Dhishva left from there and that man also started to leave from there. Instead of going back and informing Raksheet about Dhishva's deeds, Vikram chose to go after that man as it's already too late to inform Raksheet about it. And if this man escaped from here, they won't be able to find him again.
Vikram followed the man carefully, trying his best not to show his presence. But when they came out of the forest, the man suddenly disappeared. Vikram tried to look around in frustration that he again lost him but soon he felt a sharp pain in his head and lost his consciousness.
When his eyes opened and he tried to look around, he couldn't see anything but darkness and felt pain in his entire body covered in blood. His eyes were feeling heavy and forcing him to close them and faint again but he tried his best to keep them open and look around.
"How strong!" A voice echoed in the dark room with a slight laughter.
Vikram tried to focus on the source of voice and see clearly but the only thing he can see is a dark figure sitting at a corner of the room, holding a whip in his hands.
Vikram tried to pull himself up and sit but his hands and legs were tied with ropes and his body was too weak to move.
"Don't force yourself. It's useless." The man said.
Suddenly, the door of the room opened and light travelled inside the room, making Vikram close his eyes in pain. A man walked in and stood beside that dark figure.
Vikram opened his eyes and tried to look at two men infront of him. As his eyes fell on the man standing infront of him, he recognised him. He is the same man who was in forest. He understood that he has been kidnapped by that man and his partners. They saw him in forest and kidnapped him so that he can't tell anyone about them. Now what will they do to him?
"Looks like you understood what is happening." The man stood up, wrapping the whip around his palm. He walked towards Vikram and finally Vikram can see his face. He was a complete stranger for him.
He bend down to look at Vikram more closely and said. "You are brave. Brave enough to follow someone alone in unknown kingdom without any backup." He narrowed his eyes on Vikram and asked "What were you thinking going after my man? You even tried to find him. Catch him?"
He suddenly grabbed Vikram's jaw harshly with one hand and asked while gritting his teeth in anger. "Know your place. Don't act oversmart." He left his jaw harshly and looked at him and chuckled sarcastically "You are just a young man. Don't think of yourself as a great spy. There are more like you working under me. And do you know what I hate the most about them? Their oversmartness."
He smiled at Vikram who was still trying to stay concious and caressed his head "Don't work too hard for a kingdom that is about to be destroyed. Your king, your kingdom, everything is about to be destroyed. Then what's the point of doing this hard work. Let me give you an offer. Join my team. Work for me. I will give you whatever you want." He came closer to Vikram and whispered "Anything."
Vikram chuckled sarcastically on his statement and replied "Keep on dreaming..... You can't even step in my kingdom.....My king will slit your throat in a moment. Just dare to stand infront of him."
Hearing his insulting words, he stood up in anger and started whipping Vikram on his chest.
Vikram winched in pain but the smile on his face didn't left to see the man's anger growing with each whip.
"You dare disrespect me!" He yelled. Vikram chuckled on his reaction, breathing heavily in pain.
The other man was standing at a distance quietly, shivering in fear to see Vikram getting whipped.
The first one chuckled like a crazy man and said. "I am giving you one more chan-"
Vikram cut him off and said looking straight in his eyes without any fear "Doesn't matter how many chances you give me. I will never betray my king. I am loyal to my king and my kingdom."
The man raised his eyebrows in wonder and asked "Really? Think once again. May be your mind will change after seeing this. I hope you won't regret."
Vikram looked at him confused and he clapped his hands, signalling someone to bring a surprise for Vikram.
