What happened? Why the long face?
Upon reaching the palace, you'll be the King of Ajmer
and my father will be gone.
Why do you say that?
I was deemed a culprit,
taken prisoner
and accused of crimes in everyone's presence.
I understand, Prithvi.
This question might have crossed your mind.
That even though your father is the King of Ajmer,
why isn't he speaking in your favour?
You might also have wondered
whether your father
was doubtful of your innocence.
Prithviraj!
If I've made a mistake
or prioritised my duties as king
and faltered as a father,
I apologise to you.
[dramatic vocalisation]
You're the king.
Why are you apologising?
Because even a king
is not beyond the purview of justice.
If he has made a mistake,
he must apologise.
And the reason I am apologising to you
is because I couldn't do what you expected of me.
It was very easy
for me to declare you innocent
because, in my heart,
I knew you'd never do such a thing.
But my obligations as the king came in the way.
As a king, it was my duty to call for a gathering.
And that in everyone's presence at the gathering,
you be declared innocent fair and square.
I didn't want the ministers
or the subjects
to keep wondering whether you were innocent or not.
I wanted everyone to believe
what I believed.
Prithvi, I know
you were hurt by my demeanour.
But I want you to understand
that your father
was caught between his obligations as a king and a father.
I also know this.
During the past few days,
I have given you time and had lengthy conversations with you.
I should have done all of this much sooner.
[sentimental vocalisation]

[ominous music playing]
What is happening in the palace?
You call this security!
People waltz in as they please and commit murders!
The servants, guards and soldiers have no inkling at all!
If the royal palace's security is this appalling,
what about the kingdom's?
How will the people be safe?
'Nagarjuna!'
'What was your role in the death of the royal physician's assistant?'
'What is your plan? I wish to know.'
'Begin the preparations for my coronation.'
'I'll find my own way to the throne.'
[dramatic music playing]
Prithviraj, did you and Father
catch that tigress for real?
Yes, Hari.
I am glad
that we could save the tigress and its cubs.
You know, Father taught me so many things.
- Can I help? - Sure.
Sprinkle a pinch of that dust on the sword.
[pleasant music playing]
When stone dust or sand particles are rubbed on a sword,
it generates heat in the blade and makes the sword shine.
Prithviraj, how do you know all this?
I learnt this from Father too.
What is this, Prithviraj?
Mustard oil and turmeric.
This will prevent the sword from rusting.
But why are you cleaning Father's sword?
This isn't just a weapon.
It is Father's dignity, honour and pride.
This should always shine.
Its blade should be so sharp
that Ghiyassuddin and his Ghurid army
succumb to Father's sword.
You'll see, Hari.
Like every time, even this time,
Father's heart will swell with pride after his victory.
King Vigraharaj and the royal healer died from the 'neel vasant' flower.
How did this flower come into the royal palace?
[music playing]
[wings flapping]
[music playing]
A list of all the things that came into the royal palace.
I've seen this many times.
Nothing about it is suspicious.
[intriguing music playing]
'Once plucked, the 'neel vasant' flower'
'loses its power in a matter of seconds.'
This means the flower was plucked moments before King Vigraharaj
and the royal physician's assistant were poisoned.
That's only possible if the flower is grown in the royal palace.
I only have time until the bowl submerges.
I must expose this conspiracy
before King Someshwar Chauhan leaves for battle.
We need to find the flower immediately. Come on.
This isn't my first battle.
And you've always sent me to war with implicit faith before.
Then why are you restless this time?
What is currently ensuing has never happened before.
You're going to battle,
but the series of unfortunate events
in the royal palace refuses to cease.
Smoke in the royal treasury,
the murder of the royal physician's assistant.
You're familiar with our enemy across the border,
but no one has been able to figure out the enemy
within the royal palace.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
Whether across the border or within the palace,
the enemy shall be destroyed.
I wanted to place this holy thread
at Goddess Bhavani's feet and then tie it onto your wrist,
but...
Rest assured, Your Highness.
Nothing will happen to me.
Besides,
I also have to conduct your son's investiture.
[pleasant music playing]
Father!
[joyous vocalisation]
Prithviraj gave such sharpness and lustre to your sword
that it will take down all your enemies in moments.
I see.
Why though?
I wish to join you in this battle.
I know I am not capable of it.
But, Father,
I want to join you in the battle
and fight to protect my motherland
from Ghiyassuddin's Ghurid army.
I couldn't come along,
so I cleaned the sword,
sharpened the blade
and made a small contribution to this battle.
This way, I will be able to serve
you, Ajmer and the country in some way.
When you wield your sword in battle,
may you be reminded
that I am waiting for you back home.
So that you return victorious and teach me the art of warfare.
I want to get ready
for the next battle under your tutelage.
We will fight our enemies and protect our motherland.
[music playing]
[sword clanking]
I agree with you.
No enemy can withstand this sword's sharpness and lustre.
[music playing]
[gripping music playing]
What is this?
A letter for Prithviraj.
Why are you giving it to me?
Once you return victorious from battle,
give it to him yourself.
I wonder why
I've been scolding Prithvi for his stubborn disposition
when he takes after you.
It isn't stubbornness,
it is steadfastness.
[suspenseful music playing]
[music intensifies]
Listen.
- Do you tend to this garden? - Yes.
Is there a secret garden in the palace?
I don't follow.
[tense music playing]
What are you doing?
This is for you.
What is it?
Your Highness, before every war,
you've applied a 'tilak' to me with your blood.
And in every battle,
you've suffered the weight of my wounds.
You made countless sacrifices
for me and the welfare of our family.
All my victories are yours too.
And these bangles
stand testament to it.
[sentimental music playing]
[sentimental vocalisation]
Once you return, you must add more bangles to this.
[music playing]
At whose behest do you tend to this secret garden?
The punishment for treason is death!
[dramatic music playing]
His Highness...
His Highness Nagarjuna.
He had me plant this.
'I must inform His Majesty of this immediately.'
[vocalisation]
[solemn music playing]
[vocalisation]
May you attain victory.
[Sanskrit] 'Valour is universally worshipped.'
Long live the country.
[intense music playing]
[tense music playing]
[music fades out]
The stage is about to be set!
I will take back what belonged to me.
Now, Ajmer is mine as it rightfully should have been.
I will sacrifice both father and son if need be.
Oi, Sundari!
[horses neighing]
So, what's the plan?
Just wait and watch.
You'll find out.
[sinister vocalisation]
[horses neighing]
Someshwar Chauhan!
He stole Sultan's scabbard and deprived him of his honour.
It is time to behead him.
But Someshwar Chauhan hasn't let us enter India for eleven years.
He is not just valorous but dangerous as well.
He might be dangerous,
but whoever has made the folly of fighting our Sultan face-to-face
has rendered their offspring orphans!
[clanking]
Before tomorrow ends,
Someshwar Chauhan will be finished!
[horses neighing]
[horse neighing]
[vocalisation]
To uphold his honour,
this infidel is here to sacrifice thousands of his kind.
You snatched my pride from me,
my ancestral scabbard.
I'm here to put you in your place!
If you dare,
then have a duel with me.
If I win, Ajmer will be mine!
[vocalisation]
And if I win,
you will never think of invading India again.
[dramatic vocalisation]
[dramatic music playing]
What are you watching, Prithvi?
Father said I'd get a minute by minute update on the war
from the top of the mountain.
