through the mountain path, the cohort of cavalry was marching headlong for fortress in the midst of slanting cliff and backwoods. it was craggy path. and the blowing breeze was muffling the sound of horse's hoop.
infantry troops were also hiking just behind them to keep incessant vigilant range of cart's flank. they all were in harness with weapon. upon each cart, stern metal rod was fixed with robustness as the form of the cage. and in every cage, one beautiful and elegant lady were sitting in the melancholy. they were fastened in shackles.there, all were shivering and looks like pretty frightened.
except one lady. she was the queen of the lost kingdom. and the king of that kingdom had already been killed in the battlefield.
no one could speculated that it would be end like that. the lossed kingdom had around twenty five thousand troops. and invader had assaulted with only sixteen thousand troops. evidently, war wrecked havoc both sides and they suffered losses. but it's nothing over victory. after getting defeated in war. they were taken by them as prisoner. she just got married two months ago by king of that nation. and now she became a widow.
she was one young damsel. and she was sitting with delirious expression like nothing happened. in fact, she doesn't want to live anymore. and her big eye was sunken immensely bleak. her long black hair was disheveled by gust of wind. and it was wavering on her face. her attire was also not delicate way on her badly. but she was oblivious all of it. and back of these cart many adolescent and young boy were being crawled by manacles and whipping by troops. there face expression seemed they were in immensely anguish all over their body.
it had happened after carnage of their kin. after usurping their nation victorious were taking every treasure of their reign.
they were now forlorn. and being brought to enslave work for the victorious country.
they were escorted by one domineering, masculine man. he was pinion of troops. he was general. he was riding upon the horse and donned an armour with grip hilt of sword.
these troops face was rife with triumph. as they passed by outskirt. it was a flourished burg. masses of this country were whooping with acclamation for them. they are giving a way voluntarily for them with reverence. they seemed very happy. and mumbling something about war captive and queen. troops were heading for fort.
the palace was so massive and spectacular. that, its glimpse was also being looked of stretch up from such a distance.it was enormously beautiful fort. and established on high place.
when his gaze sprawled at castle. he galloped to. before, he commanded soldiers to take captive at fortress right away. as he arrived near castle, all over castle had proclaimed about their arrival and victory erranded by lieutenant.
the king was waiting for his arriving enthusiastically. he herself was there to compliment him at the gate of fort. he lets off to the horse. and gave curtsy to the emperor. but emperor embosomed him. and after that he darted up to royal court.
and empress, she was on her palace engrossed with scripture. as one eunuch rapped at the door. she ordained him to enter while she was still bubbling passage of scripture. as he gave massage of their arrival. she gets herself furious. she gets up and dilapidated everything what had come in her hand first. shred of glasses were scattered all over floor. she had many grievance towards deity. "why.. why? you never listen my solicitation. " her voice was trailing off. she was crawling over scattered glass and gasping with pang. she was making a trail with smudge of blood. she faints and collapsed. in her mind could only reached one voice of eunuch. " your highness."
valet sprinted for help her after hearing eunuch shriek.
emperor was sitting on his throne. he said . " for Abbas, the wheel of chariot of our empire never sank. you are our nation's protagonist. eventually, we succeed to overpower of an invincible country."
the king said continue." after infused of southern territory our sovereignty expand all over."
courtier admired his prowess and gallant with consent. he was sixth concubine' s brother. she was beloved concubine of emperor. and his brother could do anything for his sister's happiness. until now, whoever had endeavoured to go against king he slaughtered everyone. even he didn't spare king's brother. he was so cruel and ferocious. that even, king's rival shuddered just by his name.
