Renuka and Ayanika were sitting in a garden.

Renuka- Which post do you want, Yani?

Ayanika- I don't know really, Renu. I am not sure which post will be good for me. I just want Jyestha to be the King.

Renuka- Who, Amar or Bhalla?

Ayanika- Obiviously, Amar Bhaiya because he is much more suitable to be the King then Bhalla Bhaiya.

Renuka- Why do you say so?

Ayanika- When Mama asked to practice along with his students, Bhalla bhaiya used to hit them hard. He broke their hands and legs even. He used act arrogantly with other students. That's why I feel Amar Bhaiya is better.

Renuka- Is it not due to that incident?

Ayanika – which incident?

Renuka- The water incident.

Flashback

Ayanika was practicing sword play and bow and arrow near a river. It was her secret area of practice where only Renuka, Amar and Bhalla were allowed. After sometime, she heard someone walking towards her. She saw Bhalla approaching her.

Ayanika- Bhalla Bhaiya, what are you doing here?

Bhalladeva- I thought that I will practice with my little sister. (Devil smile)

Ayanika- (Sensing some trouble, but hiding the suspicion behind a smile) Yeah sure why not? Which weapon do you want to practice with, Bhaiya?

Bhalladev- let's practice with sword.

Ayanika- Sure.

Bhalla takes out a sword from his horse saddle. Ayanika gets ready with her sword. Both of them take position in the middle of the ground. They both start fighting. Ayanika was easily parring every attack of Bhalladev and also attacking aggressively. Bhalladev was playing defensive. Finally, Ayanika brings the sword from above her head and hits it on Bhalladev's sword. He falls back due to the impact. Ayankia smirks and turns her back towards as she is going to keep the sword on the table. She suddenly feels sharp object in her back. She looks down and sees sword emerging from her stomach. Bhalla removes the sword from her back. She turns to look at him, with her eyes just asking why. He just smiles at her and picks her up and puts her over his shoulder. He goes near the river and throws her inside it.

Flashback ends.

Renuka- Ayanika!

Ayanika- Huh!

Renuka- Where did you get lost?

Ayanika- No where.

Renuka- So anyway,...

Voice- Rajkumari! Rajkumari!

They both look behind and see a soldier running towards them.

Ayanika- What happened?

Soldier- Rajmata has called all of you in the throne room, right now.

Ayanika- ok you go, we will reach the throne room quickly.

Ayanika and Renuka run towards the throne room. When they reach there, they see that everyone had already assembled.

Amarendra- Why have you called us here Mata?

Bhalladeva- Yes Mata, why have you called us?

Sivagami- Our confidential information has been leaked by a trusted member from our ministry, Saketudu.

Bhalladeva- To whom Mata?

Sivagami- We are not sure about that, but I want all three of you to go and catch the traitor.

Amarendra- Where he is right now?

Sivagami- In the city of thieves, Malinganara.

Bhalladeva- we will go right now with army.

Ayanika- No Mata, we three will go there dressed as traders without any army.

Everyone looks at her with surprise.

Bijjladeva- But why, Ayanika? (gives a disgusted look)

Ayanika- (smiles) because he is already expecting us to catch him and if we take army he will get alerted and run away. Also taking army is not feasible as there will be a all out war with the thieves.

Bijjaladeva looks away trying to hide his anger.

Amarendra- The idea is good. I just want to add one more thing. We three can go in disguise and Kattapa can come with his battalion as a back up.

Ayanika- We can go right now, it is not that late.

Amar, Bhalla, and Ayanika look at eachother. All three of them stand infront of Sivagammi.

Together- Agya de Ma.

Sivagammi- Agya hai. You three go and catch the traitor Kattapa will be there to back you back.

They all go to their rooms. Renuka joins Ayanika in her room.

Renuka- Let me help you dress up as man with shield inside. (Smiling)

Ayanika- (Glaring) Renu!

Ayanika quickly gets ready and goes to the stable. She hugs Som-vayu.

Ayanika- We should catch that traitor Som-vayu. Will help you me?

Som-vayu nods his head. Ayanika gets him out of the stable. Renuka comes near Ayanika with her 5 favourite weapons.

Renuka- Which one do you want Sakhi?

Ayanika- The Sword please, Renu.

Renuka hands over the sword to her. She puts the sword in the saddle.

Renuka- Vijayi Bhava, Sakhi.

Ayanika- Har Har Mahadev, Renu.

She hugs Renuka and goes towards the main gate on Som-vayu. She sees that her brothers are already there sitting on their horses. There was a rope attached to the saddle of Amarendra.

Ayanika- Why do you have a rope attached, Amar Bhaiya?

Amarendra- We don't need to kill him, we just need to catch him. Rope will be useful for that.

Ayanika- Nice idea, Bhaiya.

Bhalladeva- If you both are done complementing then let's go.

Ayanika and Amar- Sure

All three of them leave the palace premises and go towards the city of thieves, Malinganara.

In Malinganara

All three of them hide their horses in nearby forest. And then go towards the city hall. They see that protection around city hall is really tight. If there is an suspicion of a person being spy from a kingdom, he is killed then and there.

Bhalladeva- Ayanika, you stand at the gate, since if you go more inside then there are chances that they will understand that you are a girl and we will get caught.

Ayanika- (in man voice) Jo agya Bhratashree.

She goes near the main gate and starts walking around there. Bhalladeva and Amarendra go more inside the city hall.

Bhalladeva- Selfishness or Smartness.

Amarendra- Which is more sharp.

Amarendra goes near a spirit seller buys a ton of spirit for everyone present over there to cause distraction. Bhalladeva starts searching for Saketudu secretly. Amar causes more distraction by singing Manohari and dancing with three female dancers.

Ayanika- (in mind) Waah Amar Bhai, you are really great. But when did you learn singing? Anyways Ayanika concentrate.

Bhalladeva was checking the curtains when Saketudu confused him and started running towards the door. Bhalladeva blew a whistle which alerted both Ayanika and Amar. When Saketudu reached the main door, Ayanika was blocking the main door. Saketudu was surprised for a second. Then he quickly collected some sand in his hand and threw it in Ayanika's eyes. She got startled for sometime. This gave Saketudu a chance to run away. Amar and Bhalladeva came running and saw Ayanika's condition. Amar quickly ran towards his sister and helped her clean her eyes, whereas Bhalladeva ran outside to get the horses. After sometime all three of them started following the trail left by Saketudu on their respective horses. Finally they reached the edge of cliff where they see Saketudu standing really close to the edge. All three of them get off their horses and start moving towards Saketudu, with Amar carrying the rope in his hand.

Saketudu- There is only one way to escape from you and that is DEATH!

He jumps of the cliff.

Amar- BHALLA, AYANIKA!

Amar throws the end of the rope towards Bhalladeva, which he catches. Ayanika runs and catches the middle of the rope. Then Amar jumps of the cliff and catches hold of Saketudu by his neck while holding the rope with his free hand. Ayanika is holding the rope tightly but she feels it is slipping out of her hand. She starts using her entire strength to hold the rope, but her feet start slipping on the rocky surface. She quickly turns around and puts the rope on her shoulder and startswalking in the forest direction. She felt that every inch of her strength was leaving her body, but she did not give. She kept on walking in the forest direction while holding the rope tightly never leaving it for a second. Bhalladeva was just amazed by seeing her sheer strength. He wanted to cut the rope but could not do so looking at the amazing feat of Ayanika. After sometime, they hear the neighing of horses.

Bhalladeva- Kattapa...

Kattapa comes along with his battalion and sees Ayanika pulling the rope. Bhalladeva quickly goes near the rope and starts pulling it along with Ayanika. Ayanika feels someone is pulling the rope and looks back to see Bhalladeva pulling it. She leaves the rope and falls down on the ground due to the sheer exhaustion caused by pulling the rope. She is almost about to black out when she feels splash of water on her face. She opens her eyes to see Amarendra sitting beside her.

Ayanika- Bhaiya, you are fine na?

Amar- yes, I am Ayanika. But your sheer strength saved my life. Anyways have some water.

Ayanika sits up straight and have some water.

Amar- where did you summon all of this strength from?

Ayanika- From the thought of losing you. (Smiles)

Amar and Ayanika hug eachother and Ayanika starts crying.
