After Alp khanate was absorbed by the Great Rovan Empire. A lot of things started to happen in the region of Alp khanate. Rebellion can be seen almost every part of the Alp khanate. Alp khanate right now has been divided into several pieces. Majority of the region was already under The Great Rovan Empire, whom is occupied the capital Nishapur.

The south region belongs to House Saad.

In the North, it's House Mirza.

In the east, it's House Shah and in the west it's House Ataturk.

When Great Rovan Empire began it's invasion, House Ataturk helped them and because of that a great portion of Alp khanate was under The Great Rovan Empire. But it's only on the west and center. Other three sides were under House Shah, House Saad and finally House Mirza.

So, Alp khanate right now is divided into four major House.

In the town of the Northeast side of the Alp khanate, A man in his late twenties was sitting in a sofa and reading news in a mobile phone.

*Knock *Knock

"May I come in, my lord?" I voice of a girl can be heard.

"Come in." The man replied.

A girl came through the door. She is similar in age.

"What happened, Lutfu?" The man asked.

"My lord, Chief of the Bang wildlings have responded to our letter. He said that he want to welcome you to his village." Lutfunnesa Reported.

"I see. That's good. At least, someone has responded to me. Unlike those traitors." The man said.

"But my lord, is it okay to go there? I mean, we don't have much loyal soldiers under us. Besides who knows? He might just want to lure you in." Lutfunnesa tried to warn him.

"Don't worry. Bang Wildlings might get angry over little things but they are not really traitors. They were loyal to my father." The man said.

"I see. If you say so. Then when will be our departure?" Lutfunnesa asked.

"Let's go there tomorrow. Things are began to change in the capital." The man said.

"The capital?" Lutfunnesa asked.

"Yeah, it seems those Rovan bastards find out that only a Khan can control Alp khanate." The man said.

"You are talking about recent uprising?" Lutfunnesa asked.

"Yeah. The person Emperor Rovan appointed to rule the capital was assassinated in the recent uprising. Situation is getting worse day by day. So, he appointed Kamal Ataturk, the head of the house Ataturk, to rule the capital. After getting appointed, the first thing he did was killing the general public. It was really a total massacre. It is estimated that almost 2000 people died in the three days." The man said.

"That's not a way to stop an uprising. It will only cause chaos." Lutfunnesa said with a sad face.

"I know but he is a fool. There are other news too." The man said.

"What is it?" Lutfunnesa asked.

"House Saad has declared war on central government. I mean, against House Ataturk." the man said.

"Don't tell me!" Lutfunnesa asked with a surprised face.

"Yeah, he is definitely alive, my foolish brother." The man said with a smile on his face.

"Should we ask them to join hands?" Lutfunnesa asked.

"Nope. We must rise our power and help them later. Our first priority is those wildlings." The man said.

"Yeah, I guess so too." Lutfunnesa said.

"To tell you the truth, I feel like I am a pathetic right now. I was a crown prince yet I feel like I am the most powerless of them all. Even my little brother have has his own backup. Yet I don't." The man said in disappointed.

"Don't worry, my lord. You will definitely be a great king." Lutfunnesa tried to console him.

"Don't worry, I am not hungry for the throne. I just want a Khan to seat on the throne. I am okay with whoever it is. I just want peace." the man said.

"You do have lack on your ambition." Lutfunnesa said..

"Yeah, I do." the man sighed.

The next day they start their departure. Their destination was the Sundarban Forest. Two days after that they arrived at the Sundarban Forest.

"Your Highness, let us send a massager to them and let them know that we have arrived." a commander like person asked permission from the former crown prince of the Alp khanate.

"No, we will go together. Sending a messenger means we don't trust them. I don't want to my allies to think that I don't trust them." The former crown prince said.

"I understand. We will protect you." the commander said.

"I will be counting on you." the former crown prince said.

After walking for a while, they arrived in front of the village.

The Bang chief were already standing in front of the main gate.

"Welcome to this small villages Your Highness, Siraj Khan." The chief said with a smile.

"Thank you for letting us in, Bang chief. I know that Bang tribe is a tribe of warriors but I didn't know their chief is still powerful even in his late seventies." Siraj said with a smile.

"No no.. I am not strong. It's just newer generation is getting weak day by day. I was planning to pass my chief title to other. But these brats are too young to be called chief." The Bang chief said.

"Why don't you test my power. It's been a while that I have a fight with someone at your level." Siraj said.

"Your highness, it's risky." Lutfunnesa tried to stop him.

"Oh ho ho, it will be my honor to win against a Khan." said the Bang chief.

"Lutfu, give me my sword." Siraj said.

"Your highness, are you sure?" Lutfunnesa asked.

"Yeah." Siraj replied.

After that Lutfunnesa passed a sword to him.

The Bang Chief has a sword in his hand too.

"I am coming." Siraj shouted.

"Yeah, just come in and get bitten." The Bang chief said.

"Haaaa.."

*Clang

*Clang

*Clang

Siraj was trying to attack him but all of his attack were repelled by the Bang chief himself with his own two hand.

"With this, you won't definitely be able to win against me." The Bang Chief said.

*Clang

Two sword hit against each other. It was like a normal slash. But suddenly a dagger was about to hit Bang chief's face. The Bang chief noticed it and jumped backward.

"That's a cheating, Your Highness." the Bang chief said.

"There wasn't a rule where it says that I won't be able to use two weapon. Besides, if I fight with you according to normal rule, I will definitely lose." Siraj said.

*Clap

"That's excellent. As expected from a Khan." The Bang chief said while clapping.

"Now then please tell me if I had passed your exam?" Siraj asked.

"Exam!?" Everyone was confused.

"Exam, huh. I think you have passed with almost 80℅ mark." The Bang chief said.

"80% huh. Can you please tell me the reason?" Siraj asked.

"You see, the moment you decided come here yourself, you have passed the exam." The Bang chief said.

"I still doesn't understand fully. Why exactly 80%." Siraj asked.

"It's because, you trust your allies too much. If you had sent a messenger to let us know that you have come here, I would have given you 100%. But you decided to believe us. That's why you got 80%. Don't forget why your father lost his life." The chief advised him.

"I see." Siraj nodded.

"By the way, did you thought that you would surely get 100%?" The chief asked.

"Nope. I thought I will be able to pass barely." saying that Siraj smiled a bit..

"You do has a lack on ambition." The bang chief said.

"Yeah." Siraj replied.
