Entire Brahamnagri was decorated very beautifully, not only the royals, even citizens were happy for the occasion of the coronation of yuvraj. These two months they saw Vrishasena doing the administrative job and doing everything. He became a common sight in public and citizens could say he is the son of their king and queen. Their value was embodied by him so just after the announcement everyone became busy to welcome the guests that would arrive there.

In a corner of the room which was allocated to Yudhishthir. Yudhishthir, Bheem, Arjun and Nakul were there. Yesterday's sunset marked the end of their agyatvas. They have gone and fetched their weapons and bought some clothes and ornaments from their savings. They were here to groom themselves and afterwards they would proceed to meet Karna and inform him of their stay and thank him for providing shelter for one year. They also knew today would be a landslide for them.

On the other side, the royals were busy in preparation, everything was fine but the royal family was waiting for the guests to arrive. Karna along with their family was waiting at the gate because they came to know the Dwarka family was the first one coming, Draupadi was eagerly waiting for them. She wants to just see her children. The wait ended and announcements of Dwarka chariot along with their royal family coming to the palace was made. There were two chariots and a few horses along with some foot soldiers in that entourage. The chariot and horses stopped in front of the gate, the royal family of Dwarka along with children came to the gate where they were welcomed by Vrushali. Draupadi couldn't wait anymore and hugged her children and cried. Others present there could understand and were happy to see their reunion. Abhimanyu came and touched feets for Karna who blessed his Disciple/ nephew. Karna told Draupadi to take children to her chamber and talk while he himself escorted Krishna, balram, Shubhadra Rukmini and Revati inside. While abhimanyu and pradyuman asked and went towards Vrishasen.

Karna showed everyone the guest chambers and asked if they needed something.he got a negative answer that he left only Krishna decided to tag along.

Karna: Prabhu, you should rest.

Krishna: I am fine Radhey.

When karna heard how he was addressed he became happy but a sense of fore boarding was there. He knew there would be a storm today.

Karna: Are you going to meet them?

Of course Krishna knew who he was talking about. He shook his head in a negative way. Krishna came along with Karna to the entrance, soon the news of the arrival of Southern panchal was there.

Drupad along with his children came, he was welcomed generously as he was now father in law of the king of brahamnagri. Drupad was ashamed and unwilling to raise his head, he folded his hands in front of Karna who immediately stopped him,

Karna: You are like a father to me now. Your hands should raise to bless me only.

Drupad: For the sins I have done, an apology is the least I should do. I am very sorry for whatever I did and thankful for what you have done for my daughter. I am her criminal too,If I have not made stupid decions her life would be much better. I curse that day and myself because it has made her life filled with misery.

Karna: Past should remain in the past, Maharaj. Who could bypass the hardship in the world?

Drupad: Maybe no one but one can lessen it through correct choices. I don't know how I will ever face her and where she is?

Krishna: Maharaj, I don't know how you will face sakhi but you can meet her. She is here, you forget she is the wife of Vrisha as well so she is in her chamber along with her children.

Drupad, Dhrishtadyumna and Shikhandi were surprised. They tried to find her whereabouts but never they thought she would be here that too as the wife of Karna. They shockingly looked at Karna who smiled and nodded. He then escorted them to her chamber but left before the door opened as he didn't want to invade their privacy.

He came back and soon various Kings arrived like Kashi, Madra, Mathura etc. They all were escorted to their rooms. Then there was an announcement of Hastinapur's arrival. There was a tense atmosphere at the gate. People who are now coming were a mix of both the loved ones and one responsible for the heinous crime that almost happened with Draupadi.

Bheeshma, Duryodhana, Dhritarashtra, Vidhur, Shakuni, Dussasan, Eklavya along with Gandhari, Bhanumati, Dushala, were there with Laxman, Lakmana and Apoorva. Apoorva seeing her family ran towards them, she directly leaped towards Karna who happily caught her. Vrushali did their aarti. Everyone present there was happy seeing Gandhari without blindfold. After Aarti, the exchange of blessings took place.

Duryodhana came to karna along with him, Dussasan and Shakuni were there too.

Duryodhana: I will be in your debt that you took good care of my family when I failed them.

Karna: Maharaj..

Duryodhana: Don't call me Maharaj, I am here as son, husband, brother and father. Please address me with my name.

Karna: Duryodhana, there is no debt. One doesn't need remunification and gratitude for taking care of his own family.

Duryodhana: I understand and am happy you consider them as your family but I have to express my gratitude.

Karna: As I said , there is no need for it. You all must be tired so follow me, I will escort you.

Karna only arranged guest quarters for Vidhur, Dussasan and Shakuni because the rest of the ladies and Bheeshma have their own room in the palace. Like this the entire morning was spent on receiving guests.

Away from palace, Devi Kunti and her maid Priyamanda was living in their own quarters, they both knew today was Rajyaabishek of yuvraj. So they of course dressed well as such a ceremony would definitely not be complete without them. So once they came out they were ready to head towards the palace but a shocking news of Hastinapur entourage along with its king Duryodhana coming to Brahamnagri was heard by them. It was very shocking, especially the news of Duryodhana being well and completely fine. On arrival of Vrishasen they got to know about Lakshman brought up here and were heard by them. The public of Brahamnagri does not have a bad opinion about Duryodhana especially after getting to know the royals of Hastinapur living here and the support he showed to Karna years ago in duel.

Priyamanda: Maharani, how could this happen? How could Duryodhana be alive and present here?

Kunti: That's what I am thinking. Not only him but That woman Gandhari is here too. Hey lord, i was very happy since she left the next day of our talk but who knows she went to Hastinapur and is here now as Rajmata.

Priyamanda: We have to do something, what if she had told everyone about your and Karna relationship. We can't let an alliance happen between Hastinapur and Brahamnagri otherwise Duryodhana would truly be invisible and your children would have nothing.

Kunti: No, I can't let that happen. My children have faced too many unnecessary and unfair treatment over the years. I will not let them have another injustice.

Priyamanda: But how sakhi, You have talked to Karna. That illegitimate bastard has not come to see you even once.

Kunti: I don't know but for my children, I will immediately go to the palace and do whatever it takes for them to get what they deserve. Let's go, I will not let Duryodhana gain any upper hand.

In the palace,

All guests were asked to come to sabha as the ceremony will begin soon. They came, and seats were arranged for everyone there. Drupad too after meeting Draupadi came to sabha, what he and his family got to know from her was landslide for them. It only increased the gratitude towards Karna and others. He was very upset to see Duryodhana there but consoled himself that he will get punishment soon. The sabha suddenly paused because four individuals entered. They were none other than pandavas in their full glory.

Druoad: Why are you all here!!!

Oh! He was very angry with them. Seeing them gas raised his fury not only him but several others have the same question. The Hastinapur entourage was also shocked.

“We spent our agyatvas in brahamnagri” a calm and wise voice came and everyone looked in the direction. Sahdev was there but unlike rest Pandavas he wasn't with them but sat on the seat reserved for mahamantri in the court.

Drupad: How? Why?

Sahdev: We came here on the advice of Madhav. As for how we spent our agyat vas it's not of importance.

Not only the guests but even members of the royal family were not happy seeing them here, especially hidimba and ghatotkach because they couldn't believe what was happening here and how Pandavas managed to live here for one year.

Ghatotkach: I am aghast, how do you four spend your agyatvas here? How dare you come to sabha? Leave it's not a place where your presence is welcomed.

Before anyone else could say anything, an announcement of the king and Queens coming to sabha was made. Everyone was stumped by word Queens as far as they knew Vrushali was the only queen except those who knew. Everyone looked in the direction where they were supposed to come.

The ground slipped from everyone's feet when they saw Karna coming to court with Vrushali on his right and Draupadi on his left. Ignoring everyone they came to the throne, Draupadi was slightly uncomfortable by the gazes she was getting but Karna was there so she felt confident. They sat on throne,

Karna: Pandupitron, take the seat that are empty.

Ghatotkach: But mamashree????

Karna: Not now, Ghatotkach. I understand what you want to say but now is not the time for it.

Ghatotkach sat quietly but anyone could feel his displeasure. Pandavas too did what was told to them.

Karna: I know, there are a lot of questions that everyone has but before that let me say something. Draupadi is my wife and queen of Brahamnagri. We married with the blessings of sage Vyasa on the same day she was married to Pandavas but our wedding was under different situations so we separated our ways after the ceremony itself. Due to me coming to her rescue at difficult times figers started to raise at her and due to her being in vanvas and agyat vas we could disclose the information of our reunion. So I am taking this opportunity to do so. But don't forget she is my wife and queen of Brahamnagri any ill talk about her would force me to raise my weapons and raze ines who was responsible for it.

His voice was cold and authoritative which scared most of the people there. They of course didn't want to cross Karna and Brahamnagri. They gulped down hard when they saw his expressions.

Karna: Now, ask what you wished to know but be very careful in choosing your words.

He said this but none dared to ask questions. Draupadi was astonished to see this. On the other hand she and her well wishers relaxed Krishna was smiling seeing this. He stood up,

Krishna: I don't think anyone here has any questions as you clarified everything beforehand Vrisha but let me tell everyone what Sameat katna is saying is absolutely right and I too was there at that time. The relationship between sakhi and vrisha is as pure as river Ganga. Dwarka too would not like it if someone tries to defame them. Now as everyone can guess the purpose of today was twofold: one is for Abhishek and the other is fir sakhi to get her justice.

His brought attention of court to Duryodhana, he himself was shocked by the arrival of Pandavas and knowing they were here too. He saw Pitamah was also shocked so he didn't know though he wasn't surprised to see Sahdev here so he knew about him. Then most shocking thing is to see Draupadi here and the announcement of Karna. He nie understood why Bhanumati said some things which were incomprehensible for him before. But it became very apparent to him now, words of Krishna brought him out of his thoughts. He stood up but saw the scared expression of his family members. He wasn't afraid that he would die because even if he did he was sure his family would be safe because Karna considers her mother as his mother so he would at least protect them. He was happy that he got his wish see them and spent some time with them before his demise, he walked down to centre of sabha with confidence. Other inhabitants of Hastinapur were very scared now for him,

Duryodhana: I take sole responsibility for whatever happened in that dyut sabha from Hastinapur's side. I hereby return everything I have won to the Wife of Samrat Karna and I am ready for your punishment.

Karna: It's not me who you did wrong Maharaj Duryodhana but Draupadi so she will one to punish you.

Every eyes were on her, Dussasan wanted to join her Jyeshtha but couldn't as he had given him orders beforehand only. He couldn't do anything but cry, he now felt the helplessness that Draupadi felt on that day, he wanted to shout, beg for forgiveness but couldn't and it was killing him. He just got his jyeshtha back and he is going to lose him again. What would he say to his brothers and family after he will meet them after he returns? Others were tense too but didn't intervene because they knew this day would come. Lakshman, lakshmana, bhanumati and others were really worried but they could do nothing. Rest everyone was watching what's going to happen.

Pandavas except Sahdev on the other hand were feeling happy and vindictive, Duryodhana has returned everything and after he will be dealt with they will deal with the rest of them.

Draupadi who was quiet till now spoke for the first, she is going to ask a question and based on what answer she will she will decide the punishment,

Draupadi: Duryodhana, I ask you this, are you really sorry for whatever you did and are you really willing to take any punishment?

Duryodhana: Yes, I pledge in the name of my mother, wife, children and my brother that I am truly sorry for whatever I did and I am ready to take any punishment.

His voice was without any fluctuations but there was some guilt and shame there, at this time Dussasan didn't care for anything he stood up,

Dussasan: I am too responsible for whatever I did and was going to do.

Duryodhana: Dussasan!!!!!

Draupadi for the first time saw Dussasan like this, taking decisions were very easy for her now,

Draupadi: Well I agree with you, Dussasan. You also couldn't evade your crimes. So now I will announce that for both of your crimes you will work for women empowerment for the rest of your lives no matter what your status is. Twice a year either together or separately You would travel the entire Aryavart and if you ever saw injustice happening you would stop it.

Her judgement shocked everyone, some were happy and some were very unhappy.

Bheem: Panchali!!!! How could you? Because of them we have to face Everything.

Everyone looked at him like a fool,

Karna: Bheemsen, mind your voice and words. You are talking to the queen of Brahamnagri in the court of Brahamnagri so it would be better for you to choose your words carefully and tone down your voice.

Yudhishthir stood up and held Bheem back,

Yudhishthir: I apologise for his behaviour, Samrat. But I would also like to ask the queen the same question as the incident has affected us as well so we want to know the reason behind her decision.

Draupadi (enraged): You still dare to ask this question? It was you who played, gambled and lost me and others. What was I to you a property? On the other hand Duryodhana never beted his brother and wife. It's not him who was responsible for that incident, it was you. For your mistake the entire kuruvansh suffered and women almost became property. Still you dare to ask this question. I gave such a punishment because at least he was sorry for what he had done and for it he paid the price of living away from his mother, sister and Children. But what have you done except blaming others for your mistake and you are not even sorry for what you have done. Is my answer satisfactory to you four,

Before anyone could say anything the were rushed footsteps and then someone came and dropped bomb there,
