A noble cause

                                       A noble cause


It was a moment of celebration in royal palace. It is the first birthday of prince. King had arranged a big party. Before to that, he was doing the ritual of a very auspicious havan.( A ritual performed in Hinduism ). King along with his wife and child were eagerly waiting.
At that time, a lady came running to venue. She had a complaint and she wanted to meet the king. But royal soldiers were not allowing her to go inside. But the lady was urging that it is very urgent.
Hearing the chaos going on outside, King himself came outside and asked with lady the reason for her restlessness. Then lady started explaining....
She lives near the border. Her farm is very adjacent to neighbouring state. That morning itself, when she was working in the field, she heard the conversation of enemy side. Soldiers were planning strategy to attack her kingdom. They can attack kingdom anytime.
Hearing the news, king thanked the woman for the information she has given. He alerted his army to be fully prepared.. He, himself was about to go to see the preparation. That time, the elderly people present there cautioned him against that.
According to them, it is not good to vacate the place when the rituals were proceeding. Then king  replied that Freedom is the noble thing and he is going to protect it. If there is freedom, in the future he will be able to arrange such functions frequently.
Elders agreed to the definition of noble cause of king.
