Overview
Raghunath feels humiliated when Gangadhar sends Tatya Tope instead of him. Laxmibai later meets him and explains that the British were planning to use him against his fellow Rajputs so that they can divide them and rule. Raghunath thanks Laxmibai for making him see the reality. Gangadhar is highly impressed with Laxmibai's intelligence and gives her the Nevalkar's Royal Sword which is a hereditary weapon of the family. Gangadhar says that he is sure she will hand over the Royal Sword to the heir of their family. Tatya Dixit conducts a `puja' for the bright future of Gangadhar and Laxmibai, during which Gangadhar's shawl accidentally catches fire. Jankibai comments that is an inauspicious omen. Tatya Dixit says that King faces a threat to his life for a certain period of time. Hence, Tatya chants a hymn for the well-being of the King. Laxmibai too prays in her chamber. Seeing Laxmibai engrossed in prayer, the new maid carefully looks at the entire chamber and notices the Royal Sword.
