Suryavanshi Yuvrani To Empress Of Aryavrat

Part 39: Journey to Laksagriha

Few days later, messenger of Purochan came to brought them to Varnavrata. Kathiravani hugged her parents, Yashoda Maiya and Nandan Baba tightly and promised to came visiting them when she had time again, after that, Kathiravani, her husband and his younger brothers board the chariots to Varnavrata.

Yudhistira and Kathiravani were in chariot and he acted like a charioteer for both of them. "i have a question for you, Priye," Yudhistira said, his gaze focused on the road but also to his wife.

"what is it?" Kathiravani asked back, looking at him with smile on her moon faced face,

"when we came here, Kakashree Vidura told me something, a kin to riddle but not riddle," he said with a soft tone, "Kakashree said three things in Mleccha language-"

Kathiravani beamed, "you know how to speak in Mleccha language, Natha? so impressive," she praised with nod, Yudhistira chuckled softly,

"hear me out, please?" he asked softly and gently made Kathiravani grinned sheepishly,

"alright, sorry, you can continue." she said with a sheepish smile.

Yudhistira chuckled and brought her hand to his lips and kissed it softly, "so, Kakashree said "𝘢 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘯 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙.

Yudhistira asked softly and quietly, Kathiravani frowned, she was lost, without context, even the most intelligent Brahmin in Aryavrat would feel confused, much more she was!

"first, Kakashree's words are confusing." she said without thinking, she looked at her husband again, "could it be something bad would happen in Varnavrat, Natha?"

Yudhistira chuckled and patted her head, "you worry too much." he said softly and fondly,

"i am not." Kathiravani said shaking her head, "could it be that we are in danger, Natha?" she asked looking at him with worried look, her husband smiled softly,

"don't worry about it."

They arrived in the palace, it was so grand and gorgeous. Kathiravani climbed off the chariot as she looked over, assessed the palace, "it is so beautiful!" she beamed, the Panduputron chuckled,

"it does, Babhi." Arjun said back to her, as Purochan and some servants came to greeted them, Kathiravani looked around again as they entered the palace,

"why there's no diyas light up?" she asked Purochan, "very very unlucky, light up the diyas."

Purochan froze in his place before snapped back, he looked at the Yuvrani, "Yuvrani... it's..."

"it's what? what kind of place has no diyas light up? so unlucky." she insisted, but Yudhistira quickly interjected,

"Purochan probably has reason, priye."

Kathiravani looked at Purochan and narrowing her eyes, she then nodded, "alright, alright." she said with a nod, but obviously she didn't believe that so called architect at all. They entered the palace, and Kathiravani stopped again, but Yudhistira's hand hold her arm gently and lead her, she was shocked with so many mirrors there, "so many mirrors, Purochan?"

"to caught the light of the moon, Yuvrani," Purochan told her, "later at night it would be so beautiful."

Kathiravani didn't even listen to his word because her attention got taken by Nakula who was running his hand on his hair and look at himself in the mirror,

"ay, even i didn't gawked at myself like that, and you did?" Kathiravani said with bewildered tone,

"it is alright, Babhi, not everyone is as handsome as me.." Nakula said running his hand over his hair again, the other brothers were stifling their laughter while Kathiravani shook her head at her brother-in-law's personality. 

They kept walking as Kathiravani assessed the palace, Purochan was already gone because he must told other servants to make foods for them, while Kathiravani pondered about what Yudhistira had told her earlier about Vidura's warnings to them in Mleccha language.

"rat... rat... rat..." Kathiravani glanced at her husband, then at his four brothers, then sighed to herself, she forgot that they brought along some rice and grains from the palace, she walked out following by her husband, and naturally the four younger brothers also followed because they always follow wherever Yudhistira went.

Everyone walked silently to the carriage they brought along, they smelled some stench, so Bheema opened one of the sack and they found the rat died inside after eating the grain.

"It is poisoned..." Arjuna mumbled quietly, he looked at his brothers and sister-in-law, "the grains is poisoned..."

Kathiravani frowned, "it is the sack of grains we brought from Hastinapura," she said as she showed the emblem of Hastinapura Kingdom that stitched there, "the ones we brought from my parents's house don't have stitches like this."

"someone tried to poisoned us." Yudhistira said calmly, Bheema felt angry, Kathiravani and Yudhistira looked at each other and nodded, one word came to their mind 'mamashree Shakuni'.

They walked inside the palace again, Kathiravani frowned as she was upset, she knew Shakuni was a cunning man, but Pandavas were still considered as his nephews as Gandhari was still Pandavas's "Jyest Matha". She kicked the wall out of spite and expected the hurt but frowned because not only did it didn't hurt her feet, but the wall was broken... Kathiravani frowned as she knelt down, her husband and his younger brothers were also came to her, Kathiravani touched the wall and frowned as she smelt it,

"Natha?" she called out, Yudhistira looked at her,

"Yes, Priye?"

"it is wax... and ghee..." She told him, "and dried grass..." she finally looked at him, "it is conspiracy..." she said looking at her brothers-in-law thsn at her husband, "it is a trap..  they want us killed..."
