Tears streamed incessantly from his eyes as he tried to rush towards the table like a madman. However, soldiers intercepted him midway. Aryan refused to accept the restraint; driven by sheer frenzy, he lunged at the soldiers, snatched a sword from one of them, and slaughtered a few. But it was all in vain. Several arrows fired from above pierced Aryan’s body, and he collapsed onto the ground, drenched in blood. Looking up at the sky, he let out a piercing cry of agony.

Everyone was now waiting for the King's final decree. At that very moment, Aryan’s mother rushed into the royal court, threw herself at the Emperor's feet, and begged for her son's life. She pleaded tearfully, "You have already snatched away my husband and my daughter, please do not leave my womb empty. Behead me in place of Aryan, but spare my son!" Although the King felt a pang of sorrow, he remained unyielding in upholding his royal duty. He laid down a condition—in exchange for Aryan’s life, his mother's head would be consumed by fire. The mother accepted the condition with a smile.

Aryan: "But Mother, I only wanted peace!"

Mother: "Peace is only attained by those who hold power. Promise me, Aryan, that you will return. Since this throne has been drenched in the blood of your family, you must raise a new sun over the ruins of this empire. Take revenge, my son... take revenge!"

Aryan, with his battered and bleeding body, desperately tried to save his mother, but the soldiers pinned him down. Right before his eyes, the executioner's blade severed his mother's head from her body. Overwhelmed by grief and rage, Aryan turned feral and killed several guards. Eventually, the soldiers overpowered him again and locked him inside a dark dungeon.

After Aryan received medical treatment in prison, Princess Meherin came to visit him. The moment Aryan saw Meherin, the bloody image of his slaughtered family flashed before his eyes. In a fit of rage, he tightly strangled Meherin’s throat and screamed, "You have destroyed everything, what are you here for now?" The soldiers rushed in, rescued Meherin, and brutally thrashed Aryan. Amidst the chaos, a cruel soldier, seeking his own revenge, struck Aryan in both eyes with arrows.

Writhed in excruciating pain, Aryan screamed, "I can't see anything!" The physician examined him and declared that Aryan had lost his eyesight forever. Aryan cried out in despair, "No, this cannot be! I must see, because my mother has left a monumental responsibility on my shoulders!"

Meherin thought to herself, "How cruel can humans be! A boy's entire family was slaughtered right before his eyes, and now even his eyes have been destroyed. And all of this was done by his own biological uncle! I cannot believe my father could be this monstrous." From that very moment, a profound hatred for her father took root in Princess Meherin's heart.

The King stood up and announced, "As you all know, Aryan’s father betrayed us and attempted to seize the capital to rule the entire kingdom, for which he was justly punished. Initially, Aryan was innocent, but he has murdered several of our soldiers. Therefore, considering all aspects, I have decided on his punishment—he will be exiled to the deep jungle for the next one month." The King further declared, "The scheduled examination for the students is hereby postponed; this exam will now be held 40 days from today."

Following the King's orders, the soldiers dragged the blind Aryan into the heart of the deep forest, abandoning him there all alone.
