Kunti's P.O.V.

Arya entered Madri and my chamber I was at the window looking at the Chandr

"Arya, we wanted to know why you did what Gandhar Raj Shakuni said? Why did you make this war the medium of the Yuvraj selection?" asked Madri

"Because I am concerned for Hastinapur, Madri. The future of Hastinapur is not determined by the one who becomes the Yuvraj but by the fact that. No matter who the Yuvraj, is will the Pandav and Kaurav be able to rule over Hastinapur together? I'm afraid they may lock horns. If that happens my beloved Hasinapur will be left in shambles. So, deciding in the favour of war was the best way to assess how well the Pandav and Kaurav could gel. I wanted to see if they can fight together for the shaker." said Arya

"Do you really believe this can happen, Arya? From childhood until now they couldn't be on friendly terms. I'm worried about something happening that will make them lock horns... with each other." said Madri

"Madri, Drupad is a clever and powerful opponent and so, the Pandav and Kaurav forget their differences and fight together for the honour of Hastinapur. And this made me send them together." said Arya

"But do you," I paused still looking at the Chandr, Arya and Madri looked at me, I looked at Arya

"But do you think Yudhisthir will accept being the Yuvraj knowing he has a Jyesht?" I asked, Arya lowered his head

"He is going to tell the truth and will hand over the throne to Arjun." I said 

Arjun's P.O.V.

The Pandav, Kaurav and I were in a tent the Pandav and Kaurav were trying to make a plan together we had made separate plans but Gurudev and Guru Dron advised them to make a plan together.

"It is said, that it is impossible to penetrate the Chakravyuh of Drupad's army let alone destroy it. From this day forward we will try to challenge this statement. We are a total of Ek sau panch. We will divide into groups of Ikkis to enter. That way, we'll be able to walk over his soldiers. And reach Drupad within a Praher (three hours)." said Duryodhan

"Gurudev and Guru Dron have asked Drupad for their Gurudakshina, not the corpses of his army. So why should we kill them?" said Jyesht Yudhisthir

"Jyesht Sthir is right. Drupad will be at the centre of his army, during the war." said Karn

"Mitr." I called they all looked at me

"Can I say something?" I asked, Mitr Yudhisthir gave a nod

"Pitashree Drupad won't be in the centre. In all his wars he puts Yuvraj Dhrishtadyumn or Rajkumari Shikhandini in the centre of the Vyuh and is in the Rajbhavan." I said

"And why should we believe you, Sut Putra?" asked Duryodhan

"Duryodhan, we would trust Mitr Arjun with our lives! He has gone against his father for us!" said Mitr Bheem

"Mitr Bheem, calm down. Your anger is your worst enemy and the opponent's weapon" I said

"Yes, Mitr." said Mitr Bheem

"Mitr Sthir." I called

"I feel it will be best if we go one by one. Let's give the Kaurav a chance to defeat Drupad first." I said, they all were shocked

"What are you saying, Mitr Jun?!" asked Nakul shocked

"Yes, Kul. You all and the Kaurav won't be able to fight together. You are fighting now itself if you fight in the war then Yuvraj Dhrishtadyumn will take the advantage of this and capture you." I said
