In front of those soldiers, I was powerless. As our entire escape route was sealed, my mind went blank. The only option that appeared in my mind was to call for help but in that situation no matter which I asked no one would have dared to offend the ruler.
'What are you all waiting for? Crush both of them now. I want them to suffer in front of me.' The ruler screamed in anger.
All of them started to attack us at once. Not one of them had any sense of pity or any kindness. Their faces were all filled with malice and cruelty. First time in my life, I surrendered in front of my enemy. I had lost all of my courage to face them.
When I lost all of my hope and surrendered there, a soldier threw a mace at me. But suddenly Dharani appeared in front of me and that mace hit her hard. She sacrificed her body as a shield to protect me. As the mace hit her, she let out a painful cry.
