Dvesas
Kingdom of Bhavari


“How many more kingdoms have we not mastered?” ask Siddarth to Bansheer. Bansheer arrived a few days ago. He and Siddarth forget for a moment the plant problem and turn to the expansion of Astapura's power.


“Eight more kingdoms” said Bansheer While counting the names of the kingdoms on the map.


“We should conquer this kingdom based on the order of the nearest kingdom” said Bansheer who saw Siddarth mark Indrajaya as the first kingdom that they should conquer.


Indrajaya is in the last place based on distance and travel time from Astapura. Bansheer's proposal makes sense. They had to occupy the nearby kingdom to add soldiers to the war forces.


“My father has surrendered the entire army to my hand”


“Prepare logistics, equipment, and accommodation to the first kingdom. We do not have much time to relax” said Siddarth crossed off the mark on the Kingdom of Indrajaya and replaced it with the first kingdom, Kingdom of Bhavani.


“In a few days there will be a party in the kingdom of Bhavani, we will infiltrate there” said Siddarth.


Mukesh King of Bhavani Kingdom is a King who likes to party and invite beautiful women to dance in front of him. Almost every day Mukesh makes parties and puts on shows just for his pleasure.


For Siddarth to face Mukesh is not a difficult thing. They did not have to pay a huge fee to fight, enough to get them drunk and the kingdom would be subject to Astapura.


The long-awaited day arrives, Siddarth sends Rishi to join the royal Bhavani dancers.


During the party, Rishi settles into a jar filled with wine and food to be served to the King and guests. Rishi mixes little by little sleeping pills on the food and drink.


Rishi presents the dance and tries to attract the attention of the King and the guests.


After performing his dance, King Mukesh asks Rishi to sit on his lap and feed him food and drink. King Mukesh is not suspicious of Rishi's appearance. Rishi dressed up twice as well as he usually did until people did not recognize him except for Siddarth and Bansheer.


Two sips, four gulps, Mukesh felt his head start to weigh and his gaze was out of focus. The extreme drowsiness made Mukesh lay down on his seat.


The music slowly stopped. One by one the guests present began to relax. Dancers who were treated to eating and drinking began to fall asleep.


After all, Siddarth and the soldiers went out of their convalescence.


“Kill all the members of the kingdom, do not worry one person and do not show mercy to women or children. They could be our threat in the future” whispered Siddarth to the people who went with him.


They scattered around the palace and examined the hidden rooms. All of Mukesh's concubines, wives, and children were slaughtered to the point that they were not left, including Mukesh's trusted men.


“Kill also his ministers!” Siddarth.


They broke into the houses they had marked as minister's houses and killed all those in them.


“Burn palace!” bansheer said to the soldiers who were still in the palace.


The palace fire made the residents who realized it run to hide in the forest while the rest were collected by Siddarth in the palace courtyard.


“Bhavani is officially under the kingdom of Astapura and you must submit to the orders of King Sri Narendra. If you want to live longer, then be a obedient people” said Siddarth ignoring the isak tanggis of terrified citizens.


“Reply this place and report to the king. Order another group of soldiers to follow me to the second kingdom” Siddarth told Bansheer.
