"Second mother, this is for you." Vajradandaka saw that the second queen was still in her prime. She still exuded youth and her face was still a bit childlike. She had the features of someone who would never age, even when they are sixty. Vajradandaka wouldn't have noticed these things before, when he was just a child and she was acting in the capacity of his mother. Even if he hated her, he could only hope that somewhere deep inside, she held some affection for him. Although his sisters tried to replace his mother, they were still too young for the job. Since young, this person in front of him was the only one who could remotely fill that role. When he was little, Vajra wished for that many times. Why else would he want to pluck that lotus for her? It was a pity she only saw him as a thorn in her eye. His sisters educated him for a long time about her, but he never saw the truth about her. Even after he realised how she had been using for political matters, such as getting rid of the Ha'gya clan, she didn't turn into some evil existence in his eye. Even after he learnt that she joined hands with Rajguru and the prime minister, he still thought of her as second mother and nothing else. But now…now he saw her as how she was. After all, it was the end. Deluding oneself with affection now would serve no end.

Bhargava didn't back down either. Taking a stance, he guarded against the unexpected counteroffensive from the boy. Having clearly felt what he broke, he didn't expect the child to get up for twenty days. He was clearly mistaken. Kush did back away usually when he felt his injuries were too big, but this time, he was giving it his all. Somehow he felt uncomfortable when people related him to a line from an ancient poem or a void without a face. Though he was only seven, he was still sensitive. He had always felt like in this world, he doesn't count. Like he was a bug, an error, an undefined entity and a careless mistake made by god. Back in the village, he always blustered about becoming king, because a king was a real existence. No errors could be made where a king was concerned. He wasn't insignificant no matter how useless he was. Kush always believed that his existence was to be taken seriously, and he wanted to fight for it! None of the men in the mercenary troop went easy on Kush, but none of them were this harsh. This man broke his bones on first contact because his existence was just that insignificant to him. And Kush couldn't tolerate that!
