THIRD PERSON P.O.V:-
He extended his hand to assist her as she stepped down from the palanquin upon their arrival at the castle of Varnavart. His family was already gathered at the entrance, eagerly awaiting to welcome her as his bride. Although her welcome in the family was not official, as the castle was not his ancestral home, it was adorned with an extravagant display of flowers and various decorative elements.
She halted, allowing herself time to take in the splendor that enveloped her before Arjun led her to the castle's threshold. There, his kin awaited, their anticipation palpable for the arrival of the first bride of their generation. Gazing upon the assembly of royals that had a noble glow to them at the castle's gateway, it was evident to her at first sight that they were not like any other, each radiating a celestial aura, appearing supremely majestic and royal.
"This is Subhadra, mother... my wife...", Arjun's words got her out of her trance like state and she realized she was standing in front of his mother, Kunti... She was the first wife of the prior legal king of Hastinapur, she held a glow of royalty and grace in her stance. Subhadra quickly bent down to touch her feet, remembering her mother's words about greeting her elders and with her Arjun too did the same, knowing that the newly wedded couple had to take the elders' blessings together.
"Pranipat mata... I, Vasudev's daughter and Yadav Kanya, Subhadra am here to serve you for the rest of my life. Please bestow upon us your blessings.", the princess introduced herself while in her mother in law's feet. "Oh Darling, you're the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen... Its my son's fortune to have you as his dharampatni, get up my child", Kunti spoke holding Subhadra to stand straight and caressed her cheek happily, admiring her beauty and values. "May you both live a prosperous life and bore a son that gets your names written in the pages of history with golden ink", Kunti continued, blessing the new couple.
After taking Kunti's blessing Arjun guided her to his eldest brother, Yudhishthira, the crown prince of Hastinapur at time, also called as Dharmaraj by the citizens. "Give us your blessing bhrata...", Arjun spoke with respect evident in his voice as he touched Yudhisthira's feet along with Subhadra. "My blessing are always with you Arjun and now, with you too Subhadra... Think of me as your own brother, come to me if you have any discomfort here, we are now your family too.", he blessed the couple "May you both live a life filled with joy and be on the path of Dharma". To his words of assurance, Subhadra nodded as a reply and then was guided to the mighty Vrikodara Bheem next by Arjun.
They both touched Bheem's feet to which he made them stand straight and hugged Arjun laughing with joy. "My blessings are always with you both, you don't need to ask for it and be a good husband, Arjun. I'll treat her more as my sibling than you.", he spoke patting Arjun's back with his heavy hand. "Sure, sure brother...", Arjun replied with a hint of pain in his voice and took Subhadra forward towards Nakul and Sehdev.
"These are my younger brothers Subhadra.. Nakul and Sehdev, they're both twins from mother Madri, but they're like my own mother's.", he introduced the twins to Subhadra as they both touched their feet as Arjun was older than them. "Welcome to the family, Bhabhi. It will be great fun here now that you've joined us too.", Nakul spoke smiling. "Be careful from him, Subhadra. He's quiet a prankster. You might become his target soon.", Arjun warned her wife. "Don't worry, Arya... I've grown up with the best prankster in whole Aryavart. My experience with Bhrata Krishna will be a lot of use for him to learn more.", the princess replied with a hint of challenge in her voice.
"Looks like you've got a competition in prank, Nakul... let's see how this ends up for you.", Sehdev spoke realizing Subhadra's glint of mischief in her eyes upon the challenge like warning.
"Oh don't worry!", Nakul replied laughing...
