The steps of the sandals resounded in the royal court as a young man walked in the hallway of the royal court.

The officials and ministers gathered at the court froze seeing the scene in front of them.

Blood dripped down the socked clothes of the young man as he neared the throne where the ruler of the great Maurya, the emperor, Bindusara Maurya was seated.

A long trail of blood was created from the entrance to where the young man was standing. 

As he walked through the halls, Ashoka noticed that the nobles and officials were frozen by the sight of a 15-year-old boy covered in blood. 

They looked at him with disgust, and Ashoka could feel their judgmental gazes upon him.

He ignored their stares and walked towards the throne, where the emperor was seated. He knelt before him, showing suitable respect and humility, that he should.

"Glory to the great Mauryan, long live the emperor."
