Subhadra's pov,

As I strolled through the palace gardens, the warm sun casting dappled shadows on the path, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and also a little nervousness.

My brother's announcement of my Swayamvar, a ceremony where I would choose my life partner, had set the entire palace abuzz. With only 28 days to go, every maid and soldier was busy with preparations, leaving me to my own world.

Lost in thought, I turned a corner to find my beautiful sister-in-law, Rukmini bhabhi, calling out to me.

Her radiant smile illuminated the surroundings, and her stunning pink lehenga, adorned with matching jewelry, made her look like a goddess.

I couldn't help but return her smile, albeit a shy one, as I approached her.

"Subhadra, dear, I'm so glad I found you," she said, her voice like music.

"I've come to take you to the treasury of dresses. Your brother wants you to choose the most exquisite attire for your Swayamvar, and I couldn't think of anyone better to help you than me!"

My heart skipped a beat at the mention of the ceremony. I had been so caught up in the whirlwind of preparations that I hadn't given much thought to what I would wear. But with Rukmini bhabhi by my side, I knew I was in good hands.

Together, we made our way to the treasury, our chatter and laughter filling the air as we discussed the finest silks, the most vibrant colors, and the intricate embroidery that would adorn my Swayamvar dress.

As I entered the treasury, I was immediately struck by the dazzling array of colors and fabrics that surrounded me.

My sister-in-laws, Jambavati , Satyabhama and others were busy examining the exquisite attire, their faces alight with excitement. Mata rohini noticed my arrival and beckoned me to join her, gesturing for me to sit beside her on a plush couch.

As I settled in, my gaze wandered over the treasure trove of dresses before me. Every garment was a masterpiece, with intricate embroidery, delicate patterns, and precious gemstones that sparkled in the light. I felt like a child in a sweet shop, my eyes wide with wonder and my heart racing with excitement.

Mata devaki smiled, noticing my awe-struck expression. "Choose any one you like, Subhadra," she said, her voice filled with warmth.

"This is your special day, and you deserve only the best."

I nodded, still taking in the marvels before me.

Rukmini bhabhi, who was sitting beside me, leaned in and whispered, "Try on that stunning red silk with silver embroidery. It will match you perfectly."

I  nodded, and a maid helped me into the dress.

As I gazed at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of discomfort. The heavy attire  though breathtakingly beautiful, felt suffocating to me. I had always been someone who preferred simplicity and comfort, but I knew that this was not the time for such indulgences.

For the sake of the kingdom, I needed to present myself in the most regal and majestic way possible.

I took a deep breath and nodded to myself, steeling my resolve. I would wear the most exquisite attire, adorned with the finest jewels, even if it didn't feel like me. It was a small sacrifice to make for the sake of our kingdom's reputation and my family's honor.
