Next day morning,

Arjun was taking preparation to leave for Manipur. Would he have to lose his only son too?

At that time, subhadra knocked the door. She was looking down and thinking about ulupi's letter. "Oh God! Why is he so unfortunate? At first, he had to fight with his own cousins and father figures, then he had to perform last of own sons and now again he have to fight? Never give this kind of fortune to any person."- she thought.

"Bhadrey, come inside

"Bhadrey, come inside. Why are you asking permission to come inside? You can come anytime. And what are you thinking so much?"

"Nothing Arya."- Subhadra told and forcefully smiled.

"Don't worry bhadrey. I believe I don't have to fight with my son and he also won't raise weapons over his father."- Arjun hopefully smiled saying this.

"Arya, don't forget your Kshatriya dharma. Your son is also a king now. He will be also bound by his own responsibilities as a king. If he surrenders in front of you without fighting, then he won't be known as a great warrior anymore but a coward instead. Manipur won't not be a independent empire anymore. Do you want him to be known as a coward? He is a young king. Maybe he won't want to raise weapons over his father and surrender happily but you know aftermath na..."- Subhadra told looking at Arjun's eyes.

Arjun cuts her in between and told he won't let his son to run from his duties as a king and he will also fulfill his Kshatriya dharma.

Arjun left for Manipur with thousands of insecurities leaving a tensed Subhadra behind.

On the other side,

In Manipur,

"Hail to the king Bhabruvahana!"- the soldier told and bowed down to the king.

Bhabruvahana: Hmm say..

"Hastinapur's commander in chief, Atirathi Dhananjaya is coming towards our kingdom."- Soldier announced and bhabruvahana nodded.

"Are you going to raise weapons over your father, my son?"- Chitrangada asked with a frown.

"Don't worry mother. He will get what he deserves."- Bhabruvahana told and touched Chitrangada's feet.

Then Bhabruvahana went from there leaving a tensed and confused Chitrangada behind.

At that time, ulupi came.

Chitrangada: Jiji.... Have you....

Ulupi: I know Chitra. Where is Bhabru?

Chitrangada: He is preparing to go to the battlefield. I am confused what is going to happen.

Ulupi: Don't worry. What will happen will be for good only. Now I am going to Bhabruvahana.

Chitrangada: Okay Jiji. I am also coming.

Ulupi: No chitrey. You should stay here. You trust me na?

Chitrangada: More than myself. You are the one who always supported me and my son in difficult time.

Ulupi: Then just keep faith over this elder sister of yours.

Ulupi passed a assuring smile and Chitrangada nodded.
