When Laxmibai talks about war, Hamilton mocks her about her inferior weapons compared with the might of East India Company, but she warns him that every child in Jhansi would fight the British and drive them out. Shyam Chaudhary arrives then and declares that the traders would sacrifice everything they have to protect their motherland. Keeping the impending implementation of the Charter Act in mind, Lord Dalhousie realises that he cannot afford to take a wrong step, so he decides to appeal against Laxmibai instead. Laxmibai hires her trusted lawyer and confidante, John Lang, to fight her case in England. Three years pass by, and there is still no verdict about the case. On the other hand, the East India Company continues to create havoc and annex Bundelkhand and other weaker states so that they are unable to help Jhansi.
