Dusshala's POV
A normal day- waking up, taking a bath and getting ready. I usually go to breakfast with my not 1 not 2 not 10 but 100 brothers*sighs* they just know how to do 2 things - annoy me or bully me, I am Pitmah's and kakashree Vidur's ladli. I haven't met kakashree Pandu but have talked to him via letters. Mamashree Shakuni acts as if l am invisible, i never got to know him for my good-for-nothing eldest brother Duryodhana sticks with him. Sometimes Pitamahi(Satyavati) talks to me. Oh I feel so annoyed, i wish i had someone who gives me a love of a brother. He would've love me unlike the 100 good-for-nothing brothers of mine .
Author's POV
A maid enters Dusshala's room
Maid- Rajkumari ki jay ho
Dusshala-*politely* Kaho, Has breakfast been served?
Maid- No, princess, there is a last-minutes royal sabha, you need to come now
Dusshala- okay.
Dusshala goes to the royal sabha.
She sees her father and mother on the throne , mahamantri Vidura with a scroll in his hand and her brothers except Duryodhana sitting lazily, Duryodhana sitting with Shakuni.
Dusshala sits in her throne beside the throne of the king on her mother's side.
Gandhari- Putri, had a good sleep?
Dusshala- Yes mother, do you know the reason behind this sabha? Where is Pitamah and Pitamahi?
Gandhari- Putri at dawn, your Pitamah and Pitamahi went to your Kakashree Pandu's house . Pitamah Bhishma, sent a letter urgently to your Kakashree Vidur the first line of the letter was requesting him to read it in the sabha.
Dusshala- Oh
Dhritarshtra -Mahamantri, now that all the members are here, read the letter and tell us
Vidura- *reads the letter**gasps**bows head down*
Gandhari- Mahamantri, tell us what is in the letter.
Vidura- Bhrata P-pandu is not alive and sister-in-law Madri commited sati. Rajmata Satyavati won't come back, she'll stay in the forest only, Mahamahim Bhishma is coming with sister-in-law Kunti and her five sons.
Dhritrashtra- Royal sabha has ended. We must tell the praja that their former king is no more. Gandhari, make the arrangements for Kunti and our nephews
