983 Words
He is a liar! A bloody coward liar! And his father was the same!
Her hands now moved faster as she scribbled the red letters in pure Persian language on the milky white page.
The breeze of cold air hit her senses as she saw the window of her tent which is literally a hole was open.
She pulled down the curtain and closed her eyes for a few seconds.
Will she do it? Wasn't it wrong? She asked herself when a voice spoke up on the back of her head.
She have to do it! She was here for getting rid of Surya. And she will do it at any cost.
He was a constant threat to her father! Numerous times he had tried to attack on Ajmer. And just if Sher Khan hadn't attacked on them a few days back then till now Surya would have been declared the war against them, against Ajmer! They have known from secret sources surya was planning to attack on them once again only to be ruined by sher Khan!
Just to conquer lands!
Just to expand his empire!
Just to attain power!
Just to rule!
He was ready to fight, fight and kill thousands of innocent men, who have nothing to do with his sick obsession to gain power.
She hated such people, she hated Surya!
***
She opened her eyes once again and rolled the letter into her hand and walked out of the warmth of the tent.
Cold breeze greeted her once again, but she didn't bother anything.
Now and then her mind would get back to the thought of morals and she was forced to question her own decision.
The clouds covered the moon and the air blew faster, making her shiver.
A storm was coming, but it was nothing compared to the storm inside her.
***
The whole boot camp was eerily quite. And every single soul was sleeping....either peacefully or not.
She walked up to the place which she thought as the stable of horses. Cautiously she walked further without making much noise. The guard snored heavily in his sleep during the duty, as she walked passed him and got hold of the first horse kept in there. She pulled it out with her and wished with all her life that it did not make any sound.
And it did not!
She mounted on the back of the horse with the small piece of paper still clutching in her hand as she rode off in another direction, sparing a last glance at the camp.
***
Riding on the known streets....the way to the palace of Umarkot she looked at the sky, It was dark than ever.
Rain was going to come, she thought, when she saw a man riding another horse coming his way.
She hoped he was what she wanted him to be!
Coming more closer she depicted the black soldier uniform of the army of Delhi.
At last she had reached his destination!
She unmounted the horse and went to stand behind a large looking tree. She took the letter in her hand and molded it around a middle sized stone, picking up from the ground.
As soon as the soldier came into her direct view, she aimed the stone along with the molded paper around it and threw!
It directly hit the side of his head and fell down. Rajani looked at him from the back of the giant tree as the man claded in black came down his horse with a bleeding head now.
"Aah-" he groaned in pain and cursed under his breath.
"Whoever it is....come out." He threatened. Rajani lied close to the tree trunk.
"Or...." She heard the man saying following by the sound of the pulling out of the sword from it's covering.
Gathering some courage she peeked again as the man looked here and there, before bending down and picking up the stone.
Everything was happening according to her plan!
His eyes went wide in surprise as he saw a letter molded around the stone. He once again looked around him suspiciously and then mounting on his horse once again and riding off to the opposite direction, without saying anything else.
Just as she wanted!
She smiled to herself!
Before riding back to the camp, where her eyes could get closed and rest for a few moments.

It really does not matter who I am or why am I helping you but the thing matters here is that, Surya is going to attack back on you with the help of the king Rishikesh of Jaitsalmeir.
They are preparing themselves for war, on the other hand your soldiers are still trying to search for their ex-general Sher Khan!
He is dead! Don't try to find him anymore, it's a waste of time!
Prepare for the war! Because this isn't going to as easy as the last time.
They have a perfect plan.....there's a pond in the middle of the rang Mahal which consist a underwater secret passage, which opens up miles away from the fort.
They are planning to use it! Sending some of his men in the attire of your army through the secret passage.
I can't tell anything else to you but still I would warn you, it isn't the only secret passage in the palace, there are plenty of them.
So close and lock up each and every such room or place, which is abandoned or suspicious in any way!
-your well wisher
-The unknown
~~~
Azahar Khan 's eyes went wide reading the letter written in pure Prussian language.
His eyes scanned the white crumpled page once again before handing it back to the guard who found it.
"Prepare for the war! " he ordered the men as the former general of the army.
"Before closing the pond!.....fill it up with mud and soil! "
