As the spirit of Shameen vanished, Pinaka sighed, he never saw such things in his life. All his experiences till today counted for nothing in front of the incidents that happened today..after Shameen vanished, Raj guru and the sorcerer fainted, but their breath was regular, they woke up almost around same time and looked at each other. It felt as if they were speaking telepathically.. then they smiled at each other. Raj guru said, "Prince Pinaka, we need to reach Indraprastha.. " Pinaka nodded and said, "Raj guru ji, regarding the treasure? " Raj guru said, "there is still time for it.. now, we need to go to the capital, Princess Samyukta will be waiting for us.. " Pinaka"s eyes flashed with wonder, Raj guru knew that Samyukta was in Indraprastha..? she was supposed to be in Manipura.. he didn"t question him further and nodded in agreement, they took leave from the chief of the tribe and said that they would come and meet soon..Pinaka and party left the forest and started riding towards the capital city of Gupta empire, Indraprastha.. as they were riding, Pinaka was deeply engrossed in thoughts.. how to shift the ma.s.sive treasure? is it feasible? if they shift it, wouldn"t Shameen be able to find it again? there is also an incoming threat from the Mangol empire.. defending the great treasure, defending the country, there is a lot that needs to be done.. he was tiny and inconsequential in front of these huge problems.. but his will was strong.. his spirit was not broken.. he would stand in front of the enemy till he falls.. till his last breath, he would serve his motherland.. he would be an emperor soon, now was the time for him to be strong and support everyone around him.. being an effective leader always was a tough task, but he was confident..
As he entered the city, he saw a big bunch of people at the gates, he looked at them and instantly understood that they didn"t belong to this country.. there were men, women, children and also horses and camels.. their attire was different and adorned with pearls and glitter, they covered their heads with turbans..women wore veils.. Pinaka went forward, he saw a familiar and st.u.r.dy figure standing at the head of the crowd.. his face broke into a huge smile and he called out, "Badshah Khan.. you are back! " Khan turned and smiled at him.. "Prince, your subordinate greets you.. I present my wife Ben.a.z.ir.. " he said, the beautiful olive skinned woman beside him bowed slightly.. Pinaka nodded to her and said, " Khan, don"t be so formal brother.. " Khan said, "Prince, I am here.. you asked me to come back if I wish to.. but I couldn"t abandon my duty towards my wife"s clan.. hence I brought them along.. " Pinaka nodded and said, "we will shortly make arrangements needed.. meanwhile you and your wife are welcome to stay in the palace and Shiva will arrange accommodation for your clan.. meet me in my chambers Khan, I need your help.. "Khan nodded, he could read the note of urgency in his voice, he turned towards Ben.a.z.ir and said, "my love, stay with others for some time, I will come and fetch you.. " she smiled and nodded.. she felt amazed that her husband was so close to the Prince, and how sweet of the Prince to address Khan with so much of warmth.. he truly deserves to be called a people"s Prince...

Pinaka reached his chamber, Samyukta was waiting for him.. he approached her and hugged her warmly.. she too held him tight.. she didn"t want to let go of him.. after some time, Pinaka kissed her on her forehead and said, "you were supposed to be in Manipura.. what happened? " she said, "some unexpected things keep happening, someone is stalking me.. " she slowly recounted what all happened and how they found blood near the wall and how the trail completely vanished.... Pinaka was shocked.. who would dare to do all this.. as he was thinking, a guard announced that Badshah Khan came to meet him.. Pinaka asked the guard to bring him inside, once he came in, he said, "Khan, some ugly things are happening, Samyukta, listen attentively.. " he recounted what all happened in the cave, as he started describing the spirit, Khan"s eyes flashed, "Prince, Shameen is involved.. she helps the Shah of Iran from time to time, there are rumours that after each a.s.sistance, there would be a heavy price to pay, very scary and ruthless price.. lives of men, women and children taken under the name of sacrifice.. it means that the Shah of Iran knows about the great Treasure..
