Once there was a king 10 March 2022: Kaal throws knife, Swarna watches this and and comes to cover Gayatri. She was hurt at the back with the knife and fell on floor. Lakhan who was lost go towards Swarna, Gayatri watches blood over her hand. Swarna breathes her last. Bari Rani Maa calls Rana ji and says if he wanted to punish her, she brought his punishment along with her. Kaal moves his knives and says Kaal, Maha Kaal. All the guests around hide themselves. Gayatri stops Rana ji from going ahead, Lakhan comes towards Kaal and grabs him from behind.
Kaal kicks him hard for once, Lakhan faints. Rana ji moves towards Kaal, Bari Rani maa orders Kaal to kill Rana ji. Rana ji fights back with Kaal using his sword. Gayatri stops Rana ji but Kokilla pushes her to floor. Bari Rani Maa holds Raaj Mata but Rana ji had fallen on the floor. Gayatri gets hold of the gun laying nearby and points it to kaal when she watches him insert both his knives inside the chest of Rana ji. Bari Rani Maa cheers. Gayatri drops the gun and shouts Rana ji. Rana ji looks towards her and breathes his last.
Gayatri and Raaj mata try to wake Rana ji, Bari Rani Maa orders Kaal to kill her as well. Kaal grabs her hair from behind, Raaj Mata joins her hands to Bari Rani Maa and pleads her. Bari Rani Maa asks Kaal to finish Gayatri. Lakhan comes to conscious then. Kaal grabs Gayatri’s neck and laughs if this sparrow will hunt the lion. Lakhan watches Rana ji and comes to push kaal from behind. He takes Gayatri outside. Bari Rani Maa watches Swarna, Rana ji and everyone down on floor. She looks around and wonders where Gayatri is.
Gayatri struggles with Lakhan and cries she wants to die and go to Rana ji. Raaj Mata slaps her and says Rana ji sacrificed for her and she wants to spoil his sacrifice. Gayatri says that Rana Indravadhan can never die, he will live, and his child is living inside her. She must live for him. Gayatri hugs Raaj mata and cries. Bari Rani Maa cries in pain and regret and curtly says she will not leave Gayatri alive.
Lakhan watches the chain of Swarna. Swarna comes to consciousness, she looks around, removes the knife from her wound and calls Gayatri and Lakhan. She comes ahead and shouts watching Rana ji, lay there. She cries over him.
Bari Rani Maa comes inside with Kaal, so does Kunwar ji and Kokilla. She backs up as Bari Rani Maa tells her not to worry, she is among her family. She asks Swarna if she is afraid of this bloodshed. Swarna asks about Gayatri and Lakhan, Bari Rani Maa says they flee but they will come back for sure, either dead or alive. Swarna joins her hands that Lakhan is her husband, either let her go to him or kill her. Bari Rani Maa holds her up and says she has to live alive, as she carries their heir. She tells Kokilla to keep her in the jail, she is dead for the world but they will keep her and their heir alive.
Lakhan tells Raaj Mata they must be looking around for them, they have to move on and cross the borders of Amirkot. Gayatri sat with a tree, lost in her thoughts. They hear some men coming towards them and hide themselves.
Kaal says Rana ji and his loyal dogs have died. He laughs and thinks about taking his dead body to mountain dogs. Kunwar ji comes there and says he can’t do this. Kaal asks who would stop him?
The village men greet Gayatri and Raaj Mata. The men say they can’t bring Rana ji back but will protect them. Gayatri says Rana ji’s name, his respect and his body is there in palace. His coronation will be performed like a prince. She will go to palace tomorrow to get back the body of Rana ji.
Lakhan asks if she knows Bari Rani Maa has been looking for them. Gayatri says she will do this to protect the respect of her husband. It’s her right to give fire to Rana ji’s body, she doesn’t want to lose that right.Bari Rani Maa comes and says to Kaal that Rana ji was a prince, they can’t humiliate his dead body. His coronation will be performed will full Royal rituals. It’s a trap, Gayatri will be attracted to them hearing about Rana ji. They will catch Gayatri alive, she wants to see Gayatri’s loss in her eyes. Kaal laughs. Bari Rani Maa orders for an announcement around Amirkot that tomorrow last rituals of Rana ji will be performed tomorrow morning, Gayatri must get this news.
Gayatri tears a piece of cloth with Rana ji’s blood. She says this blood is a symbol of the betrayal that took place with Rana ji, she ties it around her forehead. She says the time to life has ended now, they either have to kill or die. She swears either she will bring her husband’s body or will give her life.
Gayatri joins her hands in a temple, she vows no one can stop her now. She will bring Rana ji’s body from the palace tomorrow, and puts on tillak over her forehead. Raaj mata stands worried.
Rana ji’s body was ready for coronation. Bari rani maa posed to be crying while she looked around. Some men gossiped that Gayatri will come for sure. The Pandit tells Bari Rani Maa it’s time for rituals. Kunwar ji says to Bari Rani Maa Gayatri won’t come, Bari Rani maa was sures that no matter what she will come today. Bari Rani Maa come forward, she poses to be weepy while addressing the crowd. She says nothing can change the truth that Rana ji was the prince of Amirkot, they will bid him with full royal protocols. She announces that now Kunwar ji will lit the body of Rana ji. Kunwar ji moves forward.
There, a horse riding lady arrives to the gathering. Bari Rani Maa shouts at Kaal that she wants Gayatri alive. Kaal moves towards Gayatri with his knives. Gayatri moves ahead on the horse, Kaal follows her. He kicks her from a tree, she fell off the horse. Kaal comes to hold her up, it wasn’t Gayatri but Lakhan. Bari Rani Maa says there is something wrong, he must lit the body. As soon as Kunwar ji lits the wood, Rana ji’s body jumps up in the air and fell in Gayatri’s arms. Kunwar ji was shocked, people there cheered Rana ji and Gayatri.
Raaj Mata stops Kaal from attacking Lakhan. Kaal breaks the sword with the grip of his hand. Raaj Mata says sword has broken, still they would attack. She throws red chilli powder in his eyes. Lakhan beats him for killing his Swarna. Raaj Mata hits him with the knife.
The crowd cheers and moves towards Gayatri as she holds Rana ji on her back. Bari Rani Maa fell on the ground in the midst. Gayatri takes the body riding a horse, there is blast behind. Raaj Mata looks towards Gayatri, she says it’s the ritual that a son gives the fire but she is no less in anything and has the right to lit Rana ji’s body. Gayatri lit the body and cries watching it turn to ashes. He had vowed no one can separate them, she thinks what is the need of her to stay alive. Even death won’t part them. She suddenly has pain in her stomach, Raaj Mata and Lakhan come to her. She cries Rana ji’s name.
In the palace, Kunwar ji angrily says to Bari Rani Maa what good that Kaal was. Now she must shut him in a cage and send to some circus, he is no use to them now. Bari Rani Maa throws a bottle on floor, shouts and leaves.
Gayatri throws the ashes on the soil. She says it said ashes must be thrown to river, if not it’s a sin. Taking Rana ji away from Amirkot will be greater sin, she can’t do this. Gold went back to the soil it came out of. Lakhan asks Gayatri to go away, she is being searched. They must leave Amirkot. Gayatri firmly says she won’t leave Amirkot. Raaj Mata says this place if full of danger, they must go away. Gayatri says Rana ji lived as a lion and died like one. A brave dies once, and a coward dies every day. If she wants Gayatri and her child to be to die each day.
Raaj Mata asks where they would go. Gayatri says the soil will protect them. Lakhan says there is a place where they can live hidden from enemy.
Kaal throws the bones on the floor after eating. Bari Rani Maa and Kunwar ji come there, Bari Rani Maa was shocked. Kunwar ji throws his plate away and says this isn’t his forest, this is Royal Palace. This is the throne on which he is sitting and wiping his hands.
Kunwar ji asks who is Kaal staring at, he is a monkey who can’t stare at him like this. Kaal says there is one rule of forest, the one who preys eat the flesh, did he prey? Kunwar ji says this isn’t forest, this is Amirkot. Kaal says wherever he go, he turns the place to forest. He hands Kunwar ji a sword to prey on Kaal first to get the seat.
Lakhan brings Bari Rani Maa and Gayatri to a place, he says this place isn’t on Amirkot’s map. When he worked on a salt making firm, he used to hide here from his contractor. No one ever was able to find him, he is sure no one will find him even today.
Gayatri comes to temple there, she says that this time truth failed, Rana ji and faith lost. How can she leave this place now, she will never leave Amirkot. She gives the responsibility of protection of her child to the Goddess.
Kaal holds Bari Rani Maa up in hands and questions who the new prince of Amirkot is. Bari Rani Maa shivers saying Kaal. He gets on the chair again and laughs.
Gayatri sits in front of the temple, Raaj Mata and Lakhan comes to her. She gets a leaf in her hand, she was happy that nothing can happen to her or her child now.
Bari Rani Maa ache injured, Kaal comes to her holding her hands promising Amirkot will be hers. She needs a brave son to take care of throne, its Kaal.
Only a lion rules the throne. Bari Rani Maa says yes, among two of her sons he is a lion. Kaal keeps his head in her lap, he assures that till today she fought with a wooden sword, now she got a steel one. Kaal isn’t coward like that Chandarvadhan. Kunwar ji hears Bari Rani Maa accepting him a coward in front of Kaal. Kaal insists on him to be a prince today, his vocabulary was worst. Kunwar ji was curt at trusting Bari Rani Maa, he lost his young son and got a weird enemy, he would never trust her again.
Kaal enters the palace and sits on the royal chair. Bari Rani Maa comes up to give him the crown, before she could perform the ritual there is a severe earth quake. Two transgender enter the palace clapping, they laugh hysterically. Kaal warns it could be their last laughter as well. One of them holds the crowning cap to Kaal, they had come to alert him. He must sit on this throne only after considering, he will enemy inside and out of the palace. Kaal orders them to be murdered, one of them curses Kaal that he would die in hands of a woman. Bari Rani Maa murmurs Gayatri. Bari Rani Maa whispers at him not to take their lives but of Gayatri. He stops them and set them free. They leave.
Raaj Mata hands Gayatri an axe, blesses her child to be. Lakhan gifts her a candle, and hopes her child would bring lights in the dark times. He won’t be an ordinary child, Gayatri says from today her child has three mothers. She, Kaali Maa, and Mother Earth, her child would win the throne of Rana ji.
Bari Rani Maa warns Kaal not to overlook what that transgender said, he must end Gayatri. Kunwar ji says she would have gone away from Amirkot. Kokilla tells them Gayatri was expecting a child, about which Bari Rani Maa and Kunwar ji were clueless. Bari Rani Maa was sure Gayatri must not see tomorrow’s sun as well. Kaal recalls a story Akashvani, he relates that story that he won’t wait the mother and child let live. Kunwar ji considers it impossible to find them. Kaal calls his men and order them to kill every expecting mother, no child should be born in next nine months. He was sure Gayatri will now be killed.
Gayatri insists to Raaj Mata if they have to end the fear they have to end the reason of fear, they must end Kaal. Raaj Mata asks if she knows about the effect it will have on her child. Gayatri says her child would learn about living with swords, she would then protect this mother earth when grown up.
Kaal shots a bullet and appreciates the Indian arm. He watches his child Raja crying, he goes to separate him from his mother forbidding her not to make him coward. Kaal points the gun towards him, then gives him the gun. He tells him that rule of the world is, the one who preys get the flesh. Raja cries, his mother drags him away. Kaal says he has dog’s mind and lion’s power, he accuses his wife why his child is such a coward. He warns her to make Raja brave else he will throw her back into the jungle he brought her from. She cries hugging Raja.
Gayatri practices with the sword, thinking about Rana ji’s blood-shed. Kaal throws himself on a couch, when Rajeshwari comes there with a wine bottle. He asks who she is, she keeps the bottle and takes the knife off his hand. He smiles and takes her in his arms. A few women come requesting Gayatri to save them, Lakhan informs Gayatri all men who went to palace defending her have been killed.
Raaj Mata questions Lakhan about showing this place to others. Gayatri boasts she has been given a whole army now, she isn’t alone anymore. All the women here have to fight for their children, the women vow; Raaj Mata promises she will teach them to fight.
The soldiers bring Gayatri’s mother and Bhabi to palace. Kaal holds her arm asking about Gayatri. Maa says she wouldn’t tell him even if she knew, she would have died instead. Kaal assures her sending her to her son in law, she would die on the whole chowk. Her daughter would come take her like her husband. Lakhan informs Gayatri about her mother’s punishment. Gayatri looks towards the temple, firmly saying let her mother die. She isn’t only a daughter right now, she is a mother and a princess as well. She can’t sacrifice all innocents, a daughter can fall ill but a Rani can never.
Gayatri’s mother had been tied with ropes near a tree. Bari Rani Maa was sure she would come for sure, while Gayatri’s mother pray she doesn’t come here.
Kaal announces Gayatri couldn’t save her mother, what she will do with anyone else here. He orders death sentence for her. Bari Rani Maa calls till five. Gayatri’s mother is hanged, leaving everyone in cries. Kaal only laugh aloud. Bari Rani Maa wonders if Gayatri didn’t come save her mother, if she has really died; then why she is so restless. Kaal asks Bari Rani Maa to stop thinking about Gayatri now, and celebrate now.
Gayatri sat upset, Lakhan assure her Kaal thinks either she has died or left Amirkot. He was in a Sikh’s avatar. Gayatri nods, Lakhan points towards her mother and Bhabi. Gayatri runs towards them and hug her mother. She had given a ring for neck to Lakhan and instructed him to drape her with a black cap only after putting this ring on. Maa appreciated Gayatri to be Rani Gayatri Devi, she was upset to be of no use to her. Gayatri asks her to go away for always, like her brothers and father. They are her strength, she doesn’t want them to be their weakness. Kaal should be let accept what he does. Maa leaves. Gayatri was determined to go to Kaal.
Gayatri feels Rana ji’s presence while practicing with gun art and miss him while eating food. Raaj Mata brings her milk, she envisions Rana ji make her drink it. Rajeshwari feels nauseatic, Kaal’s wife and Bari Rani Maa watch this, Rajeshwari boasts she had to give an heir, if not Rana ji then Kaal; she will be the Rani. Kaal’s wife cries, Bari Rani Maa gulps the truth. Swarna gives birth to baby in jail and cries watching her daughter. Lakhan cries missing Swarna as he kissed her chain on his wrist. Kunwar ji and Kokilla leaves Swarna curtly.
Raaj mata helps train the girls with gun art. Gayatri was in labour. Kaal’s wife watch Rajeshwari and Kaal together. Raaj Mata was worried as Gayatri’s child didn’t move. Lakhan comes inside, Raaj Mata cries, so does Gayatri. She stands up, holds the baby and keeps her hand on her heart. She tells everyone not to worry, she is sleeping just like her father. She sings a lullaby for the baby, Raaj Mata cries praying for the life of this baby. The baby shows movement at once, Gayatri hugs her child and feels Rana ji’s presence beside her. She cries in elation, then holds her child up in her arms, saying this is Goddess avatar for war in this era.
Everyone cheer Gayatri’s name Rajeshwari pours wine to Kaal, they were close to each other when suddenly a dead owl drops on his table, and he picks it up and says this is an omen of death recalling the trans gender’s curse. Rajeshwari assures him that no one can ruin anything about him. Kaal appreciates the sweetness in her tongue. Bari Rani Maa watches the guard take the owl and was worried for something bad.
Gayatri brings her daughter to temple and keeps her there, today she is going to take a step from which she might not return alive. Raaj Mata tells Gayatri she lost a son, doesn’t want to lose a daughter. Gayatri asks her a promise, her life for her daughter. Raaj Mata asks Raaj Mata to make this daughter a fire that can burn Kaal. Raaj Mata asks Gayatri a promise to come back alive, Gayatri says she might not be able to fulfil this promise. She calls Raaj Mata not a mother, but a mentor; she had given her everything she has now, she was the one to turn a daughter into a wife, a Princess and a warrior. She promises her not to let her down in any case. Raaj Mata blesses Gayatri, Lakhan blows the trumpet. Gayatri had tied her daughter at her back, Raaj Mata asks if she is taking along her. Gayatri had vowed her daughter will grow up under swords, she will be her strength. She must recognize the enemies of her father, not to be betrayed by anyone in future.
Bari Rani Maa clears Rana ji’s photo of any blood stain, she can hear the stalk of death. Many times death came to her door, now it seems to be an angry friend. She hasn’t kept a pot of sins yet but a well, it takes a lot of time for a well to be filled; she isn’t going to die.
Kaal boasted about his power, when suddenly he is struck by an arrow on his chest near shoulder. Gayatri enters with a sword in hand. Kaal pulls the arrow out of his body. Bari Rani Maa shocked to see her there. She calls when the lion left the forest, his mother gave place to dogs in the palace. He has no place in this palace. Kaal says an arrow couldn’t ruin anything of him, she is stupid as she had been surrounded by his armed men. Bari Rani Maa urges Kaal to kill her, as the prey came to him by herself. He takes his sword to Gayatri, his vision was blurred because of being drunk. Gayatri laughs and asks him to look around. The all turn to look around, Kaal’s men withdrew their arms. He walks towards Gayatri who defends herself well from his sword and takes the attacking position. He was badly injured, Gayatri clutches his neck, recalling his attack on Rana ji. She says she is Rani of Amirkot, she never betrays.
Raaj Mata stops Bari Rani Maa by holding a sword on her neck. Bari Rani Maa jerks Raaj Mata away, Kaal goes to grab her neck blackmailing Gayatri. Gayatri was shocked, Raaj Mata insists on Gayatri not to stop and kill this monster. Gayatri heads towards Kaal. Kunwar ji moves from behind, Raaj Mata at once jerks Kaal away and grabs the fleeing Bari Rani maa and Rajeshwari. Women come to chain Kaal, Gayatri gets towards the throne and takes a seat there. Bari Rani Maa goes to get Gayatri’s feet apologizing, pleading her not to kill her. Gayatri recalls how she had cheered at the death of Rana ji, she curtly accuses Bari Rani Maa to be worse than a snake. This earth will only get pure when it will be fed by Bari Rani Maa’s blood. She kicks Bari Rani Maa away, takes a gun and says its Amirkot’s ritual to ask the last wish before killing. But this is for humans, he is a fox who is only punished with love. Bari Rani Maa had woken up and held the sword behind Gayatri, Raja requests Gayatri not to kill Kaal. Bari Rani Maa attacks Gayatri with a sword inserting it inside her, Gayatri fights back attacking on Bari Rani Maa’s hand. Raaj Mata heads to Gayatri, Kaal gets himself freed with a jerk. Lakhan comes inside and fights Kaal.
Gayatri gives her daughter’s responsibility to Raaj Mata. Kaal fought Lakhan, Raaj Mata takes Rana ji’s daughter inside. Kaal attacks Gayatri. Raaj Mata watches Gayatri breathe her last from upstairs waving at Raaj Mata as Kaal also fell on floor due to her attack. Raja’s mother takes him away. Gayatri enters the palace while Rana ji played piano for her. He assures Gayatri his daughter will be the one of its kind Princess, he peeked into the future to see their daughter do what he was unable to.
Bari Rani Maa sends Kunwar ji behind Raaj Mata and the child. Raaj Mata pleads to leave her as he get them in forest. Kunwar ji says this isn’t a normal child, she is Rana ji and Gayatri’s daughter and has to end this. Raaj Mata stops her at once.
Bari Rani Maa cries for her injured hand. Kunwar ji comes in the room with blood stained shirt. He gives Bari Rani maa the cloth of child, Bari Rani Maa calls him useless. Kunwar ji tells Bari Rani Maa he fed the pieces of their bodies to wild animals. Bari Rani Maa hysterically laugh and blesses Kunwar ji. Kunwar ji thinks Raaj Mata had said, Bari Rani Maa always used him, if he thinks he would be able to sit on the throne in presence of Bari Rani Maa. There were many chances, but Bari Rani maa herself sat on the throne, second time he got throne to Avdesh and thirdly she preferred Kaal and not him. Kunwar ji had kept his sword down.
Raaj Mata says they both have lost their children, this child is the last identity of her Rana ji. Bari Rani Maa never shed a tear on Laksh’s death, she only loves herself. Raaj Mata says she loves family, he may take anything but leave this child alive; she promises to go far away from this place. Kunwar ji held the child up in hands, Raaj Mata holds her up, and appreciates Kunwar ji to be a Rajput. Kunwar ji warns her go away from here, to a place where she is unknown. Raaj Mata promised him to be dead for this world. She gives child’s cloth to Kunwar ji who urged them to leave.
Lakhan and Raaj Mata travelled at night. Raaj mata calls her daughter in law as Gayatri, Lakhan calls her Rani.
