Harshavardhana tried to figure out why Rukmini has been declared as the guilty.

"Is that true?" Shrinivasa broke into the chamber of his elder brother followed by Devaki.

" What's this Harsha?" She asked.

" We can understand only when I actually attend the court. I am trying to figure out what's the trouble actually. Take heart everything will be fine" Harshavardhan smiled at the duo of mother and son.

" Shrini take off your turban. Since the accused is your wife, you also have to stand with the accused. You cannot stand there as the prince of Nayakas with this Turban. Hand that to me " He sighed patting the shoulder of Shrinivasa.

Rukmini opposed.

" I haven't committed any crime Bhavaji.." her words were interrupted by Harshavardhan.

" I am sorry dear sister I cannot hear your pleas here. As a part of Nyayanga I must act accordingly. Kindly come with the gaurds along with your husband " Harshavardhan smiled softly before wearing the crown.

Shrinivasa removed his turban and placed it near the feet of Vedavati, the current Maharani of Kapilatheertha. She caressed Shrinivasa's cheek with wet eyes.

With a stern face Harshavardhan walked out along with Amatya.

Suvarnavati sighed helplessly.

" Things are going somewhere with unwanted discussion " She said.

A large number of purapramukas gathered in the arena of Mahaganapti temple. Vasudeva occupied his throne which was kept in the Mantapa and so Harshavardhana.

The rest too bowed to the king and crown prince before the seats.

Shrinivasa and Rukmini stood in the middle.

" We all of aware of the murder of Godavari, our palace maid. That's too in a brutal way by wretched Karkatas. This is the first time that Karkatas have entered the Kapilatheertha and somewhere we can see Accused Rukmini connected with it. Princess Satyabhama and Godavari suffered a severe loss and we need to give justice for them " one of the Pramuka addressed the court.

" Rukmini do you wish to add anything? " Vasudeva asked.

Shrinivasa kept quiet. He left the option of defending to Rukmini only.

Rukmini gulped. It was the first time in her life she was facing a lot of people together. She needed a lot of courage together.

Meanwhile, Bhairava rushed towards Shrikanteshwara temple outskirts to let Satyabhama know about the proceedings.

" Exaggeration. Everyone wants only exaggeration" She huffed.

" As we do always Shrini is also standing in the place of guilty. If people refuse to believe in Rukmini then both Shrini and Rukmini may get punished" He expressed his concern.
