The royal court came to an end with the emperor's decision to assign the land of Taxila to the two princes and everyone dispersed from there.

Ashoka decided to visit the Tower of Diligence where Sudhatta was currently in training and his mother, Chandralekha resided.

Sage Vyasa accompanied Ashoka from the royal palace as he too was present in the royal court.

"You made a very bold request Ashoka"

He said as they traveled in the carriage towards the magic circle.

Even now, he couldn't forget how confident Ashoka was when speaking with the Emperor.

"I should be capable of at least that much as your grandson"

"Hahaha, right! You are indeed my grandson"

As usual, Sage Vyasa was very easy to please, he was too soft when it came to matters of his grandsons.

"Now that I look at you...You have grown so much..."

His laughter ended as he placed his hand on Ashoka's head, patting his head in a gentle manner.
