Ashoka managed to impress Bindusara with his skills at a young age. Many times, Helena conspired against Bindusara. Bindusara's third wife Noor betrays him and married Justin the same day when Bidusara married Dharma. She declared Siamak as Justin's son. Helena had prepared a trap during Justin's wedding but Ashoka manages to rescue everyone. In order to save Helena, Justin lies in court and proved himself guilty, as a traitor due to which he gets executed. Helena, Mir Khorasan, Selecus Nicator and Noor join hands to destroy Bindusara, Dharma and Ashoka. After a lot of struggles, Ashoka figures it out that his father is none other than Bindusara through certain clues and manages to re-unite Bindusara and Dharma. Chanakya also believed that Ashok will be the great ruler of Magadha because of his selfless nature and his oath of serving motherland till his last breath. But Ashok never wanted the throne as he thinks that his brother; Siyamak will be the perfect ruler for Magadha. Meanwhile, Chanakya along with Radhagupta and his other disciples are busy in protecting the throne of Magadha from the evil and corrupt practices done by Helena and the other enemies of Magadha and Chanakya's oath of protecting his motherland forever created hindrance in the way of Helena; who at last created a plot to kill Chanakya. Meanwhile, Chanakya came to know that from some time; Charumitra practiced black magic on Dharma. Susima hated Chanakya as he always favoured Ashoka over him while mahamatya Khalatak was always jealous of him as Bindusara always favored Chanakya over him in the matters related to Magadha. So Helena joined Charumitra; Sushim and Khalatak. Siyamak also joined in this mission as he believed that his dear ones (Justin and Noor) had died due to Chanakya. They all killed Chanakya who in his last breathe tells Ashoka that the only way to serve his motherland is to become the Emperor of Magadha by any means. Ashoka believes that Chanakya did not die due to some mishap/accident but due to a conspiracy done by the enemies of Magadha. Thus; Ashoka takes a pledge to punish the culprits and fulfill Chanakya's last wish of becoming the Emperor of Magadha by any means.
