Empire of Righteousness ( The Beginning)

Chapter 162 : How She Learned to Love

"Prisati?"

Maharaj Draupad calls his wife.

"Maharaj, are you feeling pain again?" Maharani Prisati asks concerned.

Nakula and Sahadeva's skill hands and knowledge has made him gain his strength bit by bit over the months. He is well enough to practice again.

"Prisati, please get your son in laws out of Panchala. I can't tolerate them anymore,"

Maharani Prisati forces back her smile. Her son in laws have gone to unique methods to please their father in law. Nakula and Sahadeva were hardly apart from this chamber. Yudhisthira would sit by him talk with him for hours. He never replied and surprisingly this never bothered Yudhisthira. He kept talking like a possessed person. They are worried about him even when he baths. Nakula sneaked in one time then got the guards called on him. Her husband almost chewed them three that time.

"Did they do something wrong again?" Maharani Prisati asks her last word a lit low.

"They miss their wife too much. Can't you see? They sigh all the time looking at her paintings. I am getting sick and tired of it," Maharaj Draupad sighs annoyed.

Maharani Prisati turns to look at the wall painting of her daughter in her husband's chamber but it wasn't there.

"They have the nerve to steal my daughter's painting from my chamber!"

Maharaja Draupad breaths fire now. Maharani Prisati takes all her willpower to not laugh again.

"Get them out of here. Besides aren't you worried about Karma?" Maharaj Draupad grumbles before laying down.

After her husband falls asleep, Maharani Prisati goes to her daughter's palace where her son in laws stay now.

"Putro,"

"Pranipath Mata," all three touches her feet.

"Kalyan ho," Maharani Prisati blesses them.

They sit down around her.

"Putro, your father in law is really well now. I will keep you updated. Go to your wife now. Shrutakarma's situation has caused a huge uproar in Aryavarta. She needs your support," Prisati says.

"Arjuna and Bheema are there Mata. Shrutakarma's mother is there herself. Vasudev went a week ago. Satanika tagged along. We have nothing to be worried about," Yudhisthira assures.

"It's a good thing you trust each other but that doesn't mean you need to step back from your responsibility to stand beside her because you think two of your brothers are already there. What if they are too busy handeling in a foreign country?"

Yudhisthira, Nakula and Sahadeva look at each other. Realization drawn on their faces.

"You are right, Mata. We will leave tomorrow," Yudhisthira assures.

Sahadeva smiles gently and touches her feet again.

Prisati looks at him confused.

"Mata, we always wondered how Draupadi learnt to love so deeply and purely. Seeing you and Pitashree from so closely, answered our question," Sahadeva says.

Prisati smiles.

Soon after her marriage, it was revealed she can never give birth to a child. She broke down that time. Contemplating her worth every single day. Draupad, her husband was a young man of 25 that time. He was handsome, strong and prideful. She knew the end of her marriage. Hence she herself took the initiative to look for another wife for him. He didn't know at first. One day, as she was talking with a potential bride's family, he bursts inside her chamber furiously.
