The First Empress

Return to the capital

'My possessiveness over you comes from the fear of losing the most valuable person in my life.'

After the festivities in Aalakkarai, Aditha and others left for the capital on the same day. They reached the palace in the morning and Sangamithra was sent to their pavilion and he went to meet with the king.

In the royal hall, the king was seated in the high pedestal and the ministers were seated on both the sides. Nandhanar was also there right next to the king. Virutha Varmar's face brightened to see his able son back.

Aditha reached the center and bowed to his father.

Aditha: Perum Zilathin manimudikkum Arasarukkum en vanakkangal.. Sabaiyil veetrirukum anaivarukum en vanakkangal..

Virutha varmar nodded his head and responded with a smile.

Virutha varmar: Ipoozhudhu dhaan thirumbugiraiya??? Vettai anaithum nandraai mudindhadhaai unarugiren.

Aditha: Nalmuraiyil mudithu vandhen thandhaiye.

First minister: pattathu ilavarasar nalmuraiyil naadu thirumbiyadhu engalukum magizhchiye... Iruppinum indha siriyavanuku oru ayyam irukkiradhu, Arase.

Virutha varmar: Enna ayyam, mudhanmai amaichare?

First minister: Vettaiku selbavar edharkaga kadarkaraiyai konda Aalakkarai ku sella veandum??? Meen pidikka sendraro???

Some of the ministers who supported first minister laughed at his comment. They stopped their laughs when they noticed Virutha Varmar's angered face. The king had so much against this son but he didn't like when others mistreated his son. However, he had failed to realise that his son was more tormented by his actions by anyone else's in that palace.

Aditha smirked at his comment.

Aditha: Mudhanmai amaichar kangalil irundhu edhuvum thappuvadhu illai... Nanmaiye. Em naatirku nanmaiye ippadi oru amaichar iruppadhu..

First minister panicked for a moment.

Virutha Varmar: Nee Aalakkarai sendradhu unmaiya, Aditha?

Rajendra: Mudhanmai amaichar vinavugirar endru inge thamayanai paritchikka veanduma thandhaiye??...

Aditha looked at his brother and also noticed a newcomer standing next to him. He then looked at his father.

Aditha: Naan Aalakkarai sendradhu meiye, Arase. Aanal meen pidikka sellavillai.

Virutha Varmar: Pinnar???

Aditha then told him the gist of everything that had happened. He omitted the information about the queen and the first minister's involvement.

Virutha varmar: Nalla kaariyam seidhaai, Aditha...

Nandhanare... Pattathu ilavarasan immurai perum seiyal seidhu irukkiran...

Nandanar: Aam Arase... Pattathirku uriyavar andro??? Avar paniyai sevvena seidhirukirar... Thaangal naattai kurithu ini varundha veandom...

Aditha: Naan en kadamaiyai thaan Seidhen, Arase.. Aalakkaraikaana sitrarasarai Thaangal dhaan therndhu edukka veandum, Arase.

First minister: Adhaiyum thaangale seidhu irukkalame... Thangalin seigai Thaangal dhaan Arasar Pola baavithu kolgirirgalo ena thodrugiradhu.

Virutha varmar didn't like first minister's words. However, he didn't say anything and waited for Aditha's response. Aditha knew the king very well and didn't show any emotions in his face.

Aditha: Mudhanmai amaicharuku naan Aalakkarai sendradhil enna thunbam nerndhadhu ena naan ariyen... Ippadi karpanaiyaga pala kadhaigal punaigiraar...

En ovvoru seiyalukum manimudiyai inaippadhu perum muttaal thanam. Ennai porutha alavil indha naattin kadai nilai veeranagave naan ovvoru edhirppaiyum kaiyaalugiren.
