Kundavai x Vanthiyathevan One Shots

Silent Love

Exploring Kundavai x Vanthiyathevan first meeting (movie version) from Vanathi's pov.. Enjoy

"Kanne, your dance was truly mesmerizing" Kundavai remarked, making Vanathi blush."I'm glad you like it Akka, but now that the performance is over why are we still here? Are we waiting for someone?" Vanathi asked, looking around at where they were standing in the boat, anchored in the middle of the river.

Kundavai simply smiled at her and looked at something or someone behind her. She turned around to see a coracle boat approaching them. And who was it but the person who danced with her as Kamsa Raja, standing with his hands on his hip, occassionally swaying to the movement of the river. Kundavai spoke up in a deep majestic voice, "I hear that you wanted to meet me alone"

"It depends on who you are, Devi" Kamsa Raja spoke aloud trying to match her Akka's bold tone.

"Whom do you wish to meet, young man?" Kundavai asked again

"I wanted to meet the most beautiful and gracious daughter of the Emperor Sundara Chozhan, the sister of the two brave princes Aditha Karikalan and Arulmozhi Varman, the Ilaiya Piratti Kundavai Devi" Vanathi heard the visitor speak, suppressing her smile.

Kundavai also smiled after glancing at Vanathi, "I bear all those fancy titles with burden"

Vanathi saw the speaker looking at them in surprise and particularly at Kundavai with awe. As he approached the boat, he slowly climbed up, acknowledging her with a smile which she returned and proceeded to look straight at Kundavai, in an expression that Vanathi could only describe as lovestruck. Then she understood who this person was. She remembered her Akka telling her of a Vana Kula Ilavarase named Vallavaraiyan Vanthiyathevan, a trusted friend and spy of Aditha Karikalan who was sent to meet with Kundavai. But looking at him now, he seemed less of a spy and more of a youth in love at first sight. She felt like she could say the same for her Akka too, who was now watching him with equal admiration.

"Ilavarasi" Vanathi heard Vanthiyathevan address Kundavai in a soft tone

"Aaha, what a transformation! From a demon to a spy" Vanathi suppressed a laughter at Kundavai's taunt.

"I had no choice. Pazhuvettarayar is after my blood and that fake Vaishnavite Nambi follows me everywhere" Vanthiyathevan said

"Why were you looking for me?" Kundavai asked.

"Karikalan send me to Kadambur, Devi. A secret meeting has taken place there. Prince Madhurantakan was taken there in Nandini Devi's palanquin"

Vanathi tried to eavesdrop as the conversation took a serious turn. She saw her Akka had become slightly disturbed in hearing the news but didn't lose her composure, "I have only one question - Did Madhurantakan agree to this conspiracy?"

Vanthiyathevan nodded "He wishes to be emperor" . Vanathi was shocked. What does this mean? Is there any danger to the lives of the royal family? Her Akka, her Aditha Anna and her Yaanai Paagan?

Kundavai continued to keep her poker face "The list for power surpasses the lust of beauty" She sighed "Very well. Where's my brother's message. Do you have it?"

Vanthiyathevan gave her a ghost of a smile "Yes Devi. I wrote the message myself. Coming here empty handed didn't seem right"

Kundavai extended her hand and Vanthiyathevan placed an olai into her hand, neither of them noticing Vanathi's confused look. Weren't they having a serious discussion on royal politics a while ago? How did it turn into teasing again? Vanathi wondered to herself as Kundavai read the olai aloud "This message is from a great warrior.." Raising an eyesbrow at the writer of the olai, Kundavai said in a sarcastic tone "Such modesty!"
