Days later, in the courtroom of Naimisharan, when a meeting was arranged among the ministers to hear the pleas of the villagers, a messenger bird flew by everyone. It futtered its wing and soared near His Highness’s seat. His Highness Aatreya lifted his elbow for it to sit. In those days, using messenger birds to communicate over far distances was a common practice. Everyone knew this bird, a green and yellow parakeet named Jabarjad. It was Prince Mithun’s messenger bird. 

In its leg was tied Prince Mithun’s message. His Highness opened it and read the message. It read: Last night, monsters attacked in the dark discreetly, most of the army was asleep then. It caused casualties. Kalighat’s physician has died. I have controlled the situation, but many are injured. Need medical assistance. Aatreya’s eyebrows were pulled after reading the note.
