The secret knights of sage Chanakya escorted Ashoka to the nearby village and they stayed in an inn for the night.
The knights and mages relaxed a bit and were hoping to get some rest.
However, there was one person who didn't even think about resting.
Hema was standing just outside the room where Ashoka resided.
She had completely concealed her presence and was standing in such a way that she would be able to react to any movement at anytime.
Although Ashoka said not to worry about the matter anymore, Hema secretly stood guard out in his room for the whole knight without blinking her eyes.
As such the day passed without Ashoka being even aware of anything.
"Good morning, my prince"
The next morning Hema greeted Ashoka as usual without even a hint of exhaustion.
"Good morning, Hema"
Receiving the large cup of milk from Hema's hand Ashoka began to drink it slowly.
