Chapter 12 - CH 11 ENEMY

Prerna says we need a plan so Mallu can talk about the truth and the other person. Madhu agrees with Prerna, saying that she is right and that we do need a plan. Everyone agrees. As Madhu says this, the whole room falls silent. Everyone starts thinking about the plan. After a moment of hesitation, Sun says that he has a plan that will help Mallu tell us about the other person. Rohan asks what the plan is. Sun explains the entire plan, and everyone agrees after hearing it. Rohan says, "Your plan is good, but it's a bit dangerous." Sun replies, "Right now, this is the only way we have."

On the other side, we see that there are several unknown men in a room, whose shadows are visible to us. One of the men says, "Sir, we need to get rid of Mallu; we can't keep him alive anymore." Another man responds, "No, we can't kill Mallu. He is one of our loyal men." The first man says, "Mallu is being taken to the emperor. If he goes to the emperor even once, the emperor will find out everything about us." The third man says to the first, "How stupid are you? You said 'if' he goes to the emperor, but what if he doesn't go?" The second man asks, "What do you mean?" The third man says, "Sir, with your permission, I would like to share my plan." Then we see a man sitting at the centre of a large table. We notice two big, red, unseen figures that look very dangerous. In a powerful voice, he says, "Speak—what do you want to say?"

The third man said, "Sir, as we know, Nagari city is quite far from the capital—about 800 kilometres—which will take them at least a full day to reach the capital. So we can take advantage of the night to save Mallu from the royal officer."

The first man said, "Don't you know they will have an entire army guarding Mallu? It will be very difficult for us to get close to them. And the army will have Mayur as well. Mayur is a great general in the royal army. He's a very powerful man—so powerful that he can defeat several armies on his own. And before he even received his blessing, he was that powerful. Now I've heard he has received his blessing. No one knows what his blessing is because he has never needed it before, since no one has ever been able to defeat him. That's why he has never needed any blessings."

The second man said, "Stop praising your enemy."

The first man replied, "I'm not praising him; I'm just stating the truth."

The third man said, "That's exactly why we will need him for this plan to succeed."
