"Kaurvaki putri Kaurvaki!" Rani Dharma called out running after Kaurvaki from the kitchen doors. Kaurvaki stopped and wiped the tears that rolled down her cheeks. She turned to see Rani Dharma's face. "putri, what is wrong?" Dharma could tell Kaurvaki was crying and she may know why! "nothing Rani Dharma, nothing is wrong!" Kaurvaki lied covering her pain. "if that was true why are you ruining your beautiful face?" Dharma whipped the unnoticed tears of Kaurvaki. "some things are better left unspoken!" Kaurvaki stated. Rani Dharma pulled her close to her chest, she quietly let Kaurvaki soak her clothes with tears. Kaurvaki stopped crying when she saw Ashok coming towards the two from the back of Rani Shubhadrangi, she got out of Dharma's embrace and wiped her tears.

Ashok saw this and decided not to question why, he knew he would just make things worse. Ashok met with his mother as Kaurvaki left to go to her chambers. Ashok grabbed her hand, she turned back to look at his face, Ashok smiled as he let her go!

Just then a massive BOOM echoed throughout the halls of the palace. When Kaurvaki came to check what was going on she saw Rani Dharma unconscious on the floor. Susheem, Ma rani Charumitra, samrat Bindusar, and Siamak came to check what happened. Once they saw Rani Dharma on the floor, they looked fearful in Kaurvaki's direction. "you, Samrat, Kaurvaki had to be involved with the sudden attack from Kalinga!" Ma Rani Charumitra stated wasting no time at all she pointed the finger towards Kaurvaki. "what there was an attack from Kalinga? I wasn't involved in it, believe me!" Kaurvaki replied quickly in shock. Ashok couldn't be there to defend her, he was lying unconscious on the ground. Siamak ordered Ashok and Rani Shubhadrangi would be taken to the infirmary.

"guards, seize Raj Kumari Kaurvaki and escort to prison she shall be given her punishment at sunset tomorrow till then shell spend the night in prison!" Samrat Bindusar ordered. Chains were put in Kaurvaki's neck, wrists and ankles. As she was being dragged away to prison she continued shouting she was innocent!
