THE DARK CHAMBER
41
Grandfather
If my King chose to make himself shown, your eyes would not have noticed him. He would not stand out like that amongst others—he is one of the people, he mingles with the common populace.
Kumbha
But did I not tell you I saw his banner?
Grandfather
What did you see displayed on his banner?
Kumbha
It had a red Kimshuk flower painted on it—the bright and glittering scarlet dazzled my eyes.
Grandfather
My King has a thunderbolt within a lotus painted on his flag.
