" Badshah khan took out a small dagger, cut his palm and placed it in Pinaka"s hand, he said, "Prince, this is a blood oath, no going back on this.. I will never disclose this secret as long as I am alive.. even my wife will be kept in dark.. "Pinaka nodded and felt confident.. he said, "Khan, thank you.. now I need your support.. we need to move this treasure .. I don"t know how to do it..this should not be done in open..think about it.. even I am trying for a solution.. coronation is in two days.. post that we need to decide a strategy.. " Khan nodded..
Khan took his leave and left . . Samyukta looked at Pinaka, she went close to him and hugged him and said, "Should we postpone the Coronation? " he smiled and said, "no Samyukta, this is important.. we need to be unified to face our enemies, people of the country need effective leaders.. we must build the confidence of our people.. our next step must be to take all the rulers of this great nation into confidence.. build relationships with them.. it will help us succeed..
