He Sent a Reply.

'' Of Your Power. I Am not even equal.

Hearing your Name I Have Started to Shiver With Fever.

Afzal Khan came to Pratap Garh with Troops of 12,000. He said.

'' You think you are brave. Surrender The Forts to Adil Shah and become his Slave.''

Afzal Khan continued.

'' Perhaps You are like my Junior.
Accept this hug from your Senior.''
Afzal Khan hugged Shivaji Maharaj. But Betray was the word. As he treid to Attack by Dragger.
But Shivaji Maharaj had a Sharp Eye.
Alertness was the Word. As he used his Law.
He attacked Afzalkhan by Tiger's Claw
