The First Empress

White tiger

'If we choose to walk into a forest where a tiger lives, we are taking a chance.'

Day 3:

Evening...

Aditha's office:

Subodhar: Indraiya dhinamum Anaithum nalla muraiyil nadandheriyadhu, Ilavarase...

Graamadhigaarigalum oor thalaivargalum avaravar ooruku vandiyil anuppa pattu vittanar.

Aditha: Nalladhu...

Veera: Unavum nandraga irundhadhaga anaivarum pesi kondanar.

Kari Virundhu padaithu asathi vittar, ilavarasi.

A smile appeared on Aditha's face. It disappeared as soon as it came.

Veera: Thaangal ninaithadhu pola Anaithum nadandheriyadhu.

Avargalin anaithu thadangalgalaiyum thagarthi erindhu indha virundhai sirappaga nadathi vitteer, Ilavarase.

Their smiles showed how happy they were with the way the event turned out. All the participating village heads left with the state of gratification.

Even Nandanar was happy about the event. He was given a huge responsibility in the absence of the king. Though he was asked to assist, it was the crown prince who handled everything.

They all looked at the crown prince who was watching the sky standing on his office's balcony.

Nandanar: Ilavarase, edhenum kurai irukkiradha???

Aditha shook his head. They weren't able to understand his silence.

Nandanar: Neengal ippadi mounam kaappadhu engalai kavalai kolla seigiradhu, Ilavarase.

Aditha: Virundhu nalla badiyai mudindhadhil enaku magizhchi dhaan, Nandanare...

Naan Ingu en mana amaidhikaga nindru kondu irukkiren.

Neengal anaivarum sellungal... Sendru oivu edungal... Ennai Vida Neengal dhaan niraiya uzhaitheer.

Veera and Nandanar bowed down and left the chamber. Subodhar hesitated for a second.

Aditha: Kaalam varum bodhu enna nadakkiradhu endru purindhu kolvaai. Ippodhu sel..

He said without turning around. Subodhar nodded and took his leave.

Aditha seemed like he was waiting for some news.
