In Dharmapuri....
Sudhanshu and Rani Lalita Devi have reached the kingdom. Everyone in family and minsters have gathered in hall to discuss the about the test and the quality need among the princes to become heir of thorne means Yuvaraja.
Rajamata Vimala Devi said , "I wish it will be fair test. We should consider all means of things. As a elder for this kingdom. I who served this kingdom as Yuvarani, Maharani, and now as Rajamata. Saw the three generations. I want the Yuvaraja to be a great among all others. He should be extraordinary among all. He should not even fail in any of tests."
Maharani Nalini Kumari interrupted, "how it is possible Rajamata how he win all tests this is unfair. It can't be a rule in the test."
Sudhanshu and some others support her words.
Rajamata Vimala Devi trying mock her said, "I understand your concerns, Maharani Nalini Kumari, but I assure you, this is not about winning every test. It's about showcasing exceptional qualities that set him apart from the rest. A true leader must excel in various aspects."
Sudhanshu supporting her told, "But, Rajamata, what if one prince excels in one area, while another prince excels in a different area? How can we determine who is truly the best?"
Rajamata Vimala Devi took a deep breath and said, "That is where the council of ministers and I will deliberate and consider all aspects. We will assess their overall performance, leadership skills, and character. It's not just about winning, but about demonstrating the potential to be a great ruler."
Rani Lalita Devi tooking at Nalini Kumari said,"I agree with Rajamata. We need a Yuvaraja who can lead our kingdom with wisdom, courage, and compassion. The tests will reveal their true capabilities."
Maharani Nalini Kumari was totally irritated by her words and said in disgusted way,"I hope you're right, Rajamata. I fear for the future of our kingdom if we make the wrong choice."
Rajamata Vimala Devi again trying mocking her said,"Fear not. We will make a just and fair decision. The fate of our kingdom depends on it."
After a discussion with everyone .Then Rajamata Vimala Devi agreed to make some chances.Finally everyone came up with the list of
Sudhanshu gave a list of tests and the rules and regulations to Maharani Trisha Kumari and said, "Maharani Trisha Kumari, I've prepared the list of tests and rules as per your request. Please review them before finalizing."Maharani Nalini Kumari got angry with this move stood immediately and shouted,"This is utterly unacceptable! The king and queen should be the ones to decide the tests and king is Jayesha and queen is my daughter in law Gayatr, not you, Trisha Kumari! You're overstepping your boundaries!"
Maharani Trisha Kumari said with expressionless face, "I understand your concerns, Maa sorry sorry maharani, but as the queen of this vast kingdom, it's my duty and responsibility to finalize the tests. I won't let personal biases cloud my judgment."
Maharani Nalini Kumari got angry by her words and said, "How dare you! You're just a daughter-in-law of the royal family and vidhva rani for kingdom,not the queen! You can't possibly understand the intricacies of royal politics!"
Maharani Trisha Kumari said in same tond,"I know my position, Maa, and I won't let you disrespect me. I've earned my place as queen, and I won't be undermined by your condescending attitude."
King Jayesha who still now slient stood in his place and shouted in anger, "Enough, sister-in-law! You can't treat my mother like this! Remember your limits and show some respect!"
Rishabhana, "Maa, brother, please stop this. We can't keep treating Maharani Trisha Kumari like this. She's our elder brother's wife and the Maharani of this kingdom. We should show her the respect and dignity she deserves."
