138Please respect copyright.PENANAm4ENI7qr9aThe prince arrived and handed a letter to the king. The letter read: "Honorable Great King, I wish for you to admit everyone who has come, including my son, into your military training school." In accordance with the letter's request, the king admitted them all. Afterward, Aryan packed his necessary belongings. Shortly after he finished his bath, a soldier arrived with the news that the Maharaja had summoned him to the palace. Aryan then set off for the royal palace with the soldier.

Entering the King's chamber, Aryan said humbly, "Assalamu Alaikum, honorable uncle." The King replied, "Wa Alaikum Assalam." Then, the King ordered a soldier to summon all the members of the royal family. Once everyone arrived, they asked the King, "Why have you called us? Is there any special need?"
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXJahWnjUOL
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFThJwtk3Jl
Hearing the sound of voices, Aryan turned around. The King addressed everyone, saying, "His name is Aryan. He is my younger brother's son." Aryan went to his aunt—the Queen Mother—and offered his greetings. She replied, "Wa Alaikum Assalam. Mashallah, you have grown up so much! I last saw you when you were just a little child."

Then Aryan went to the King's second son and said, "Assalamu Alaikum, brother. You are Rafi, aren't you?" The Prince replied, "Wa Alaikum Assalam. Yes, I am Rafi." Aryan said, "Father used to talk about you and Safi. By the way, where is Safi?" Prince Rafi informed him, "He has gone to another kingdom for a special reason."

The Queen Mother asked, "By the way, Aryan, how is everyone at home? How is your sister? I heard she got married."
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnO0wR9HfGR
Aryan replied, "Alhamdulillah auntie, everyone is doing well. Yes, sister has gotten married and she is happy. I am sincerely sorry that I couldn't invite you to the wedding."

138Please respect copyright.PENANAOKmR11DCJH
The King said, "Aryan, you can stay here in this palace if you wish."
138Please respect copyright.PENANA5U630CpeOE
The Queen Mother added, "Where else would he go? He will stay right here with us."
138Please respect copyright.PENANATjYWBz6ow9
Aryan said humbly, "Pardon me, honorable aunt, but I cannot stay here."
138Please respect copyright.PENANAH0i6lhqJYX
Surprised, the Queen Mother asked, "Why can't you stay?"
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQqmzuInOyV
138Please respect copyright.PENANANQ8Viz6vyR
Aryan: "I want to stay with the other regular students. This will give me a new experience."
138Please respect copyright.PENANArOxVXXBqGW
The King: "But Aryan, you are the prince of this kingdom. Why do you need to endure the hardships of living in an ordinary place like other students? Stay with us here in this palace."
138Please respect copyright.PENANAb3G8KJj9Jp
138Please respect copyright.PENANAoNFbs2camy
138Please respect copyright.PENANAqcZIVVmWDQ
Aryan: "Forgive me, uncle. If I always grow up amidst royal luxury, I will never be able to feel the hardships and struggles of the common soldiers of my kingdom. I want to build myself not just as a prince, but as a true warrior."
138Please respect copyright.PENANA902LKS6zSo
138Please respect copyright.PENANA3rduDt8fIb
The Queen: "Wow! Your father was right; your way of thinking is far above the ordinary."
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6VZ3WRWZs0
Aryan: "Thank you, auntie."
138Please respect copyright.PENANA25azOany8n
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXBucgBtbgf
The King: "Alright then, but there is one condition. You must come to the palace at least once every day."
138Please respect copyright.PENANABu8adc0JvM
Aryan: "Alright uncle, I shall take my leave now."
138Please respect copyright.PENANArW0uJW49fK
The King: "Alright, goodbye."
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvBhm0uLRYZ
Aryan: "Assalamu Alaikum to everyone."
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7GULdSXuDM
After offering his greetings, Aryan left. Meanwhile, seeing Aryan's firm personality, Princess Meherin secretly fell in love with him.

The next morning, all the students were gathered in a field. The head soldier announced, "You will all be divided into separate teams, and each team will have an experienced commander." Everyone was divided into a total of 12 teams. Aryan's team consisted of Prince Jafar, Princess Nila, and Jafar's friends. This team was named 'Team Nine.' Aryan was very happy in his heart to have Princess Nila in his team. The soldier said, "Get to know your teammates. Your training will begin tomorrow, and trainers will be assigned."
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEgE1CgosCN
138Please respect copyright.PENANARSDL3sMkFn
After the soldiers left, Aryan went to his team members and offered his greetings with humility. However, due to their royal arrogance, no one paid him any attention and they left, ignoring him. This made Aryan feel a bit down. Afterward, everyone returned to their respective rooms.

In the afternoon, as per the King's instructions, Aryan went to the palace to meet him. After greeting everyone, the King said, "Aryan, go and explore the entire capital with Princess Meherin today." Meherin said excitedly, "Come on Aryan, follow me." Aryan agreed and enjoyed the beauty of the capital with Meherin.

The next morning, as the training began, everyone was introduced to their respective trainers. An incredibly strong and skilled soldier named Hridoy arrived as the trainer for 'Team Nine.' Aryan and the others greeted him with respect. Returning the greetings, Hridoy said, "Your training starts right now. There is no need to stay here in the crowd; follow me."
138Please respect copyright.PENANAPdDtJKHG8h
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOjII7K3lQK
He led everyone to a secluded and beautiful natural setting, far away from any noise or bustle. The trainer, Hridoy, asked everyone to stand in a line and, one by one, asked for their names and their dreams.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvkTb219Z3s
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYh1c13XUA1
First, Princess Nila said, "My name is Nila. My dream is to become an incredibly powerful warrior." Then, Jafar's friends—Hossain, Kamrul, and Shahjahan—shared one by one that they all wanted to become very strong and dreamed of becoming the army chief or high-ranking officials of the kingdom. Prince Jafar said, "I want to become very powerful and rule the kingdom just like my father."
138Please respect copyright.PENANAteyqfdHy3U
138Please respect copyright.PENANAI0RqVmvlh2
Finally, Trainer Hridoy asked Aryan. Aryan replied in a calm voice, "I want to build a world where the clashing of swords is no longer heard, but rather the sound of people's laughter. I want to wipe away bloodshed and hatred from this world and establish peace."
138Please respect copyright.PENANAoM2eyIMH7m
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgCQqQ27jma
Hearing Aryan’s words, everyone began to mock him. Jafar remarked sarcastically, "Then you have come to the wrong place, you cowardly prince! This is a battlefield, not a poetry session."
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjSeuhQ9kyX
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1kiO2AYmms
Aryan replied calmly, "Sometimes, to establish peace, one must become the greatest warrior of all, Jafar. I want to be the warrior who has the power to stop wars."
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmdx0jhEb48
Hearing Aryan's profound words, everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, Trainer Hridoy said, "Alright, I have learned about everyone's goals. Now, we will begin the core training." He further added, "Your training will last for one month. You must learn everything taught during this time with great focus. After a month, there will be a competition or an exam. Those who pass will be granted a high rank and will be sent on various missions accordingly."
138Please respect copyright.PENANABGHB5mkvT7
138Please respect copyright.PENANAGhnuQkcaZA
this way, the regular training continued. Before long, fifteen days had passed. After fifteen days, Trainer Hridoy organized a fight to test everyone’s level of progress. There, Aryan and Jafar were announced as each other's opponents.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvqpTFog2xT
138Please respect copyright.PENANAk7xDk1clMF
As the bell for the fight rang, Jafar attacked with the speed of lightning. Aryan was not yet fully prepared mentally for the battle. With the very first strike of Jafar’s sword, Aryan lost his balance. Jafar struck Aryan’s chest violently with the blunt side of his sword. Aryan was thrown back into the dust. Jafar held his sword against Aryan’s throat and laughed cruelly.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0YxVV744WZ
Hridoy spoke to Aryan in a harsh tone, "Aryan, remember—this world belongs only to the strong. Kindness or mercy is a sign of weakness here. Even if Jafar lets you go today, a real enemy will rip your heart out. Change yourself, or be wiped out."
138Please respect copyright.PENANAiCXAnhHVm6
138Please respect copyright.PENANAi2eO1X9w5s
Aryan stood up and said, "Yes, Commander, I understand." Hridoy said, "Alright, that is all for today. From tomorrow, everyone must train with even more focus. Now, you may return to your respective quarters."
138Please respect copyright.PENANAaAlQPik2NO
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1825ntNjul
Everyone began to leave. As they were going, Princess Nila, Prince Jafar, and his friends started laughing at Aryan. They kept saying that Aryan was a 'loser,' that he couldn't do anything right, and that he didn't even have the capability to undergo training.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZPC19EjAQd
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlPNNHpoeVf
Everyone began to mock him, calling him a 'poor beggar.' But Aryan was smiling in such a way that it seemed as if their words didn't affect him at all. He was naturally very cheerful and loved to joke around with everyone.

Meanwhile, after twenty-five days had passed, the Emperor received news that his younger brother (Aryan’s father) was conspiring to seize the capital. This idea had actually been planted in the younger King's mind by the evil advice of a scheming minister. To handle the situation, the Emperor sent a warning to his younger brother, writing: "Brother, do not do something that forces me to take up arms against you. Give up the thought of seizing the capital."
138Please respect copyright.PENANAAIM5G6Acbj
138Please respect copyright.PENANAt7ISEAGzrs
But the wicked minister intercepted the letter, changed it midway, and wrote: "Younger brother, I have captured your son, Aryan. If you want to see him alive, leave the kingdom immediately." Upon reading this, the younger King became frantic with rage and anxiety, and he set off toward the capital with his army to rescue his son. On his way, he sent a letter to Aryan via a messenger bird, which read: "Aryan, escape somehow and return to your kingdom as quickly as possible."
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0FbIuuCQkz
138Please respect copyright.PENANAj3bDiQZwdz
Upon receiving the letter, Aryan headed out without a second thought. On his way, he ran into Princess Nila. Aryan didn't know if he would ever be able to return, so he confessed his feelings to her. However, the minister had already instructed Nila and the others to ensure that Aryan could not leave the city under any circumstances. Nila cleverly told Aryan she would go with him and joined him as his companion. Aryan was secretly overjoyed that the person he loved was by his side.

138Please respect copyright.PENANAP1eh1FPMsz
As they were riding their horses through the forest, the news reached the capital that Aryan was escaping. The wicked minister manipulated the King, saying, "Your Majesty, the younger King is certainly planning to attack you; that is why he is moving Aryan away in advance." Blinded by rage, the King ordered that Aryan be captured at any cost
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQNL2v9bngR
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9zlUVFK32O
Deep in the forest, Nila revealed her true colors. She pushed Aryan off the horse, and he fell, hitting his head against a rock and losing consciousness. Nila began dragging him back toward the capital. When she encountered the soldiers on the way, she explained the entire situation to them. Meanwhile, Aryan’s father reached the capital’s borders and launched an attack. He fought with great valor and took down many soldiers, but eventually, he grew exhausted. Seizing that opportunity, Prince Jafar launched a surprise attack from behind and beheaded the younger King.

The tragedy did not end there. As Aryan’s pregnant sister, Princess Yasmin, was returning to her own kingdom, the Emperor’s soldiers brutally murdered her as well. There was a terrifying law in that kingdom—if a rebel king was defeated, the severed heads of him and his entire family would be placed in a box and burned. The Emperor announced that Aryan’s trial would take place the following day, and the heads of his family members would be cremated in public.

The next morning, when Aryan regained consciousness, he became emotional remembering the beautiful memories spent with his father. Just then, a soldier arrived and announced that he was being taken for trial. Since Nila claimed to be innocent and offered to help the soldiers, she was assured of her release.

A black cloth was placed over Aryan's head, and with his hands bound in chains, he was dragged to the place of judgment. Thousands of people from across the kingdom had gathered all around. The soldiers were ringing the bells with a thunderous sound—a sound usually reserved for the final punishment of a defeated king. Aryan wondered in surprise, "Why is this bell ringing? Has a king been defeated then?"
138Please respect copyright.PENANA2YVwuMaXXj
138Please respect copyright.PENANAqOHnz0TsU3
The soldiers shouted at him to shut up. Then, after bringing him to the designated spot, the chains on his hands were removed and the cloth was taken off his head. Aryan slowly opened his eyes and looked forward. He saw the severed heads of his father and his beloved sister placed on a table.
