Chapter 67:
Queen of Panchala
Draupadi stood tall and graceful as the Queen of Panchala, presiding over the grand function that was being held in her honor. The atmosphere was filled with celebration and reverence, as dignitaries and citizens alike paid their respects to their beloved queen. The function had been organized as a symbol of the strong alliance between Panchala and Dwarka, and Draupadi's presence radiated confidence and regal poise.
A special letter had been sent from Dwarka, addressed to Draupadi, recognizing her as the Queen of the entire Suryavansham. The honor was significant, acknowledging her influence and grace as a ruler, not just within Panchala but across kingdoms.
As she held the letter in her hand, reading the words of praise and respect, Draupadi’s lips curved into a gentle smile. She was proud of the title, but she also knew that it came with great responsibility.
The Pandavas, watching their wife shine in her royal duties, couldn't resist teasing her.
"So, our queen is now the ruler of the whole Suryavansham!" Bhima teased with a wide grin. "Should we start calling you ‘Maharani Draupadi’?"
Arjuna joined in with a smirk. "Perhaps we should start bowing to her every time we enter her presence. What do you think, brothers?"
Nakula chuckled, nudging Sahadeva. "Careful, Sahadeva, don't make the queen angry, or she might order us to do her bidding."
Sahadeva grinned, adding, "I'm already prepared to follow her commands. After all, who can resist the Queen of Suryavansham?"
Draupadi, amused by their teasing, shook her head, trying to hide her smile. "You may tease me now, but remember, a queen never forgets."
The Pandavas laughed, enjoying the lighthearted moment amidst the grandeur of the function. Draupadi, despite her new title, remained the same to them—a source of strength, love, and occasional mischief.
The celebration continued, with Draupadi receiving the admiration of the people and the playful adoration of her husbands, all while holding her newfound title with grace and dignity.
