The First Empress

Forgive Me

'He taught me how to love, but not how to stop.'

Aditha: Naam desathil ulla gramam matrum oor thalaivargalai azhaithu Virundhu Vaithal muraiyai irukkum, Arase.

Virutha Varmar: Nam karuthu ketpu naalil anaithu karuthugalaiyum perugirome, Aditha.

Aditha: Karuthu ketpu sandhippil Avargal vaaigal adaikka padungindrana.

Adhuve virundhaai irundhaal avargalai naam ovvoruvaraga gavanikka vaaippu kidaikkum, Arase.

Nila aakramippugal mandhirigal mattum seivadhu illai.

Mandhirigalin udhavi kondu palarum seigindranar. Idhu pondra virundhugalai naam yerpaadu seidhaal makkalukum namakkum oru inakkam pirakum.

Adhan moolam munbu Ivatrai koora anjiyavargal mun vandhu Thangal ennangalai kooruvar.

Virutha Varmar thought for a moment and then looked at his chief advisor.

Virutha Varmar: Nandanare... thangalin karuthu enna???

Naane oppu kondaal en maganin vaarthaigaluku isaivadhu pola thondrum.

Nandanar was in his seventies. He was a wise man and recently returned to the king's side from his pilgrimage. Boomadevi hated him with all her heart. She even kept him away for some years. However, with the unfolding of recent events in the palace, the king asked the chief advisor to return to his side.

Nandanar: idhil Neengal sindhikka enna irukkiradhu Arase???

Ilavarasar kooruvadhu migavum sari. Nammudaiya perarasu nedu naal nilaithu, varum kaalangal sezhikka veandumaanal immannil vaazhum makkalin magizhchi miga mukkiyam.

Adhai karuthil kondu dhaan ilavarasar koorugirar ena indha Kizhavanuku thondrugiradhu.

Eesan ungaluku nalla pillayai koduthu aruli irukkirar, Arase.

Virutha Varmar smiled and curled his moustache. Aditha stayed silent without any change in his expression.

Virutha Varmar: Appozhudhu oru nalla naalai mudivu seidhu indha virundhai yerpaadu seidhu viduvom.

Aditha... neeye poruppetru nadathu.

Aditha: Sari Arase... Appodhu naan vidai petru kolgiren.

Virutha Varmar: Hmmm...

He then left the hall to the king and his advisor.

Aditha's office:

Subodhar: indha Virundhu nalla vagaiyil mudidhal migavum avasiyam, Ilavarase.

Veera: Yean Appadi???

Subodhar: Idhuve Ilavarasar makkalai mudhal murai sandhithu thara pogum Virundhu. Idhil siridhu kurai yerpattalum Ilavarasarai nindhithu viduvar mudhanmai mandhiriyum avarin kootani mandhirigalum.

Ilavarasarin padhavike aabbathu varalam.

Veera: Ithanai thunbangalai kadandhu idhu avasiyam dhaana Ilavarase???

Aditha: Makkalin kuraigalai ketka Ingu oru sevi irukkiradhu endru makkal ariya veandiya neram idhu, Veera.

Idhai elidhil seidhu mudikka mudiyadhu enbadhai naan ariven.

Indru Avargal arasavaiyil en meedhu paaindhadhai vaithu paarkum pozhudhe indha virundhirku pala vagaiyil innalgal neridum ena thondrugiradhu. Adhai naam dhaan eedukatta veandum.

Nammudaiya yerpaadugal sariyaga irukka veandum.

Subodhar and Veera nodded their heads at the same time.
