The First Empress

Veera's power

'Man has made many machines, complex and cunning, but which of them indeed rivals the workings of his heart?'

Everyone left the area and Rukmani wept without any words. Sangamithra held her shoulders.

Sangamithra: Atthai... Azhaadheergal... Ennudan Vaarungal..

Sevili... Atthaiyai azhaitthu vaa.. nam aranmanaikku selvom..

They then took Rukmani to the eastern pavilion. After reaching the pavilion, they sent her to a chamber to rest.

Sangamithra: Sevili... Atthai Migavum sorvaaga irukkiraar. Avarai paartthu kolla pengalai yerpaadu seidhuvittu koilukku vaa. Poosaikku neram aagiradhu.

Sevili held Sangamithra's hands.

Sevili: Devi.. enakkoru sandegam... ketkalama??

Sangamithra: Kel Sevili..

Sevili: Thaangalum melindhu konde pogireergal. Irandu dhinangalaaga thangalukku vaandhiyum irukkiradhu. Oru velai thaangalum karuvuttru iru....

Sangamithra closed Sevili's mouth and gestured for her not to speak anymore. Sevili's eyes widened in shock.

Sangamithra: Nee ninaippadhai dhaan naanum ninaikkiren. Aanal veliye therindhaal perum innalgalai naam sandhikka neridum. Adhanaal mounam kaakka veandum, Sevili..

Sevili: Appadiye seigiren, Devi...

Sangamithra: Poojaikku neram aagiradhu. Pengalai yerpaadu seidhu vittu vaa. Naan munne selgiren.

Sevili: Sari Devi.

She nodded her head and left to bring more maids for Rukmani as the latter rested.

Sangamithra left for the temple. Both of them didn't notice Ponnarasi who was eavesdropping on their conversation. She then left the pavilion in tears.

Rukmani's pregnancy news reached Boomadevi and the women in the royal andhapuram. The queen was wreaking havoc in the royal andhapuram. Maids were too scared to even go near her.

Boomadevi: Eppadi???? Eppadi nadandhadhu idhu???

Hemavathy: Thaangal dhaan vitteergal.. ippodhu varundhi enna palan??

Hemavathy, who reached the queen's chamber after hearing the noise, answered to her question.

Boomadevi: Hemavathy....

Hemavathy: Poiyyaa koorinen?? Thaangal Arasarai angu sandaiyida anuppineergal.. Aanal arasarin manadhai thaangal ariyavillaiye?? Neengal enna muyandru paartthaalum avar manadhil Rukmani irukka thaane seigiraal???

Idhe neram Chandravadhani akka mattum akkaariyatthai seiyyamal uyirodu irundhu irundhaal Arasar nam yaarenaiyum paartthu thaan iruppaara??

Hemavathy irritated Boomadevi further. As they kept talking, Virutha Varmar entered the chamber and noticed the things thrown on the floor.

Virutha: Yaar velai idhu?

Hemavathy: Thangaludaiya maharaniyin velai dhaan, Arasey.

Rukmani karuvuttriruppadhai kelvi pattu magizhcchiyil Anaitthaiyum pottu udaitthu kondirukkiraar maharani.

Arasey... Marandhu vitten paarungal.. Thaangal meendum thandhaiyaaga pogireergal.. Rukmani karuvuttrirukkiraal.

Virutha Varmar: Enna solgiraai Hemavathy?

She responded with a smile.

Hemavathy: Aam Arasey...

Virutha Varmar: Ippodhu Rukmani engu irukkiraal?
