Bab 53: Imposters

  "Hema."

"Yes, Young Master?"

"Ram and Karan. Those two weren't sent by the royal palace. That, or they're traitors."

"Young Master, what are you talking about…? Everyone at the tempest manor knows of their faces, including me. They're definitely Ram and Karan of the 1st division of royal guards."

Hema spoke in disbelief.

"Ashoka...What are you saying?", Sudhatta couldn't believe his brother's words either.

Even Ashoka knew of their faces. He had come across them a few times when he was in the 7th magic tower.

Nevertheless, Ashoka had his reasons for treating them as impostors or traitors.

"Hema. The guardian knights never leave the princes, whom they are protecting unattended like this, even if the nannies are with them."

"Ah!"

"One of those two should've stayed next to the carriage. But both of them went out to engage the enemies. They're either traitors or impostors."
