Soldiers of Rajputhana ransacked the Paudhagarh palace, seizing women and children as hostages. While Vikram, his face splattered with blood, took a moment to splash some water on his face before striding over to Abhay Verma's lifeless body and pulled out his favourite sword from the man's chest, wiping off its blade clean on his already stained garments.

As Vikram attended to his weapon, a group of his soldiers emerged from the palace grounds, forcibly escorting nearly fifty women. Amidst the commotion, one woman broke free from the group, darting towards the fallen body at Vikram's feet.
