'To speak as the common people do, to think as wise men do is style.'

Royal andhapuram was in chaos in the morning. Several maids came running towards Boomadevi's chamber.

Boomadevi: Enna aanadhu??? Kaalai leiye enna koochal? Edharku ippadi odi varugirirgal???

Ponnarasi, who also stayed at a chamber next to Boomadevi's, came and watched the maids making a scene at the entrance.

Ilavarasarin arayil yaaro oru ilavarasi urangi kondirukkirargal.

They said as they were told the previous night.

Ponnarasi: Yaaraga irukkum??? Andha sangamithra vaga dhaan irukkum...

She answered like she didn't know.

Boomadevi: Ssshhh... Aadi maadham pirindhu irukka aanai yittadhu arasar allava???

Adithan arasar petchai meerinan endra solgirirgal???

Virutha Varmar, who stayed the previous night in her chamber, woke up to these words.

Virutha Varmar: Booma, enna aanadhu???

Boomadevi: Arase... Neengale ezhundhu Vara veanduma???

Virutha Varmar: Enna nadandhadhu endru sol???

Boomadevi: Arase... Pattathu ilavarasanin araiyil yaaro oru ilavarasi iruppadhaga indha panipengal koorugirargal.

Aadi maadham Sera koodadhu endra aanaiyai Nam Magan meeri irukka mattan endru koorinen.

Adharkul Neengal vandhu vitteergal...

Virutha Varmar: Enge Avan??? Andha vetru naatavaludan irukkirana???

Boomadevi: Arase... Kobam Veandom...

He walked faster and she followed him. The maids others also followed them.

In the chaos, Rukmani also came out and watched the scene.

Rukmani: Sevili, un Devi enge???

Sevili: Kaanavillai thaaiye... Avar Netru maalai Poovanathil ulavi kondirundhar. Naan undu varuvadharkul kaanavillai.

Rukmani: Ippadi seidhu vittaye Sevili?? Angu iruppadhu Sangamithrai aanal aval uyiruke aabathu varume...

Vaa ennudan...

They also followed the king to the crown Prince's wing in the palace.

In front of his son's chamber, he stopped and called for the guard.

Virutha Varmar: Yaar ange????

Guard: Arase...

Virutha Varmar: Indha kadhavai thira....

He then opened the door. Instead of entering the room, the king looked around and called for Ponnarasi.

Virutha Varmar: Nee Avan manaivi dhaane... Ulle sendru un kanavanaiyum avanudan irukkum andha keezh tharamanavalaiyum azhaithu vaa.

Ponnarasi: Appadiye Arase... idharku thaan atthai ennai anuppa villai polum.

She was shocked to see the scene in bed. Poovarasi was in bed and her hands were splayed on some man's shoulders.

She was sleeping with someone else. The crown prince was nowhere to be seen.

Ponnarasi: Aaahhhhhh....

She closed her eyes and came out. After all, she had seen them naked.

Boomadevi: Enna aanadhu magale???
