AShok says till i dont catch beast, i am not going anywhere, AShok leaves, Acharaya says Ashok will leave soon from here, Helena comes there and says i have understood your politics, years back you brought a kid with you, you made the king of that time lose to that kid and made that kid (chandragupta) the samrat, now you have again brought a kid (Ashok), your idea is to snatch throne from Bindu and give it to that kid but you wont be successful this time,
Acharaya smiles and says i am understanding your point but have you got any proof to prove this theory? even i felt that you and Justin Attacked Bindu so you can make Justin king but i had no proofs against you that time so couldnt do anything, in this war, the one who have proofs and have mind can win only, you know that very well, you are playing this game from years and i am winning over you in your game from years, and the game you are playing this time, i will make you lose by following your set of rules only, i will clean sweep you, he gives cool smile to her and leaves from there, Helena fumes.

In stable, Sushim comes to Ashok and says i didnt know you are so much afraid of you, i know what you did last day, Ashok says i did many things last day, what you are talking about? Sushim says if you were from a decent family then you would have accepted what you had done last day, Ashok gets angry but recalls how he promised Dharma to not use violence, Sushim ask Bal to tell who beat me? else i will kill you, Ashok says i am alone, enough for you, yes it was me who beat you, and i think you need some more dose so you have come here to get beaten again. Sushim gets angry on him, he brings out his hunter, Sushim says i didnt know you will be a fool to accept this, Ashok says what will you do? will beat me, sushim says i will tell Bindu about you beating me then he will punish you, Ashok says what will you tell him? last day you made a great story that how you beat beast and all, will you be able to accept that it was a fake story? if you tell him then you will fall in his eyes, he will disown you, no respect will remain for you in his eyes.

Scene 4
Ashok is in pain, Dharma is crying too, she treats his wounds, he smiles seeing her and says you should not be sad but be proud of me that i followed your promise, he beat me so much but i didnt raise my hand on him, Dharma smiles and kisses his forehead, Ashok smiles, Ashok says the much i try to leave this place, the more i think to do something for this place, see Samrat Bindu is so much nice person but his sons, they are egoistic, what will happen to Maurya dynasty if it goes in wrong hands, Dharma smiles seeing Ashok’s sensible words.

soldier says to Bindu that Ashok is abusive is kid, i have also seen Ashok misbehaving with Sushim, Bindu says i will set Ashok right by punishing him, Dharma says before punishing him ask other’s side story too, Bindu says Ashok’s goodness was all fake, he is a bad kid, he doesnt have manners, his attitude shows that his family background is not good, he comes from a bad family, Dharma says how can you decide about his family without knowing him, do you know his mother? do you know how Ashok was born? do know how much difficulties his mother faced, she stops and then says that i am mother too and i have always seen Ashok as my son, he is a nice kid, Dharma says to Bindu that if Ashok is culprit of anything then punish but atleast listen to his point of view, listen his stance once. Bindu leaves.
Scene 5
in court, Prime minister says to Bindu that AShok speaks ill words, he tried to talk infront of you too, punish him, Helena says i agree, the time this kid have come here, problems are happening, he is not good kid, Charu says why we are waiting, punish this kid, Noor says but we all know that Sushim is short tempered kid, he threw arrow on Siamak in full court, Charu says i am defending my son only and this kid creates problems, Noor says but Ashok was proved innocent in all cases, Charu says this is not a personal thing, Noor says even i am saying this, you dont have to think Sushim as your son here, take this case neutrally, it will benefit Sushim only, Justin ask Noor to not cross the line, we are in court, Noor fumes on him, Helena ask Charu and Noor to stop the fight. Bindu ask Ashok to speak for himself, he says you dont have to be afraid of anyone, speak whatever you want too, Ashok looks on, Bindu says your silence is proving that you are culprit, you have right to speak in your favor, Acharaya says Ashok’s silence can have reason,
Prime minister says when you have nothing to prove your innocence so you remain silent, it is proved that he insulted Prince Sushim, i request Samrat to do justice and announce his decision, Bindu says okay, Acharaya says to Bindu that before you announce your decision, i want to say something, i know Ashok cant insult anyone, the kid who take responsibility to catch beast, the kid who stay here just to save other kids from beast, you think that kid can insult Sushim? Prime minister says you are calling Sushim liar, Acharaya says i am talking to Samrat Bindu and interrupting inbetween is like insulting Samrat only, he ask Bindu that do you think Ashok can insult Sushim? Bindu says no but when Ashok is not saying anything in his favor so i have no option to call him culprit, Acharaya says fine, for time being i accept that AShok insulted him so he should get punished but what punishment will be? according to rule if culprit is already given punishment then you cant punish him again, Bindu says i didnt understand you,
Acharaya says i want to show you something, he shows Ashok’s back to Bindu, it has hunter’s marks all over his back, Bindu is shocked, sushim gets tensed, Dharma cries, Charu, Noor and all are stunned too. Acharaya says these wounds prove that Sushim have already given punishment to Ashok and that too more than what Ashok was supposed to bear, injustice has happened with Ashok not with Sushim, Bindu gets hurt seeing Ashok’s wounds.
