Maitriraj Karn, Pandavas, Ashwatthama and Kauravas along with Shri Krishna stood there in the chamber of Dushala watching her cry helplessly. "Bhrata! Please... I can't marry him. He's .. he's disgusting. Today he came inside my personal pool when I was bathing.. and tried to ...." Dushala hugged Duryodhan tightly trembling in fear unable to say anything. Every single warrior stood there in shame and Vasusen's hand went for his flute. Madhav who was standing next to him held his hand shaking his head saying,"No! You won't!"
"Did you hear what she said? I dunno about you Madhav, but she's my little sister. I'm going to kill that idiotic King and definitely feed my flute, the bad energy it's asking for!", Vasusen mumbled, his voice deep and rumbling like a vast ocean. Deciding it would be a disaster if he didn't intervene, he walked towards Dushala asking,"Dushala, how did he go away!? Did your maids come?"
"No Bhrata! His name is Viraj. He heard me screaming and he slapped and injured him, giving me enough time to run back to the chamber", she mumbled making Arjun ask,"Who's he? Any king or Prince?"
"He's Senapati's son. Senapati Kottiyan's son!", Sahadev said looking at Karn who said,"He's not here. We didn't bring him here!" Sahadev narrowed his eyes saying,"But he was roaming around the royal garden few hours ago! I thought you brought him here!"
Vasusen blinked at him asking,"He was here? But... Dev, get Senapati Kottiyan here!" Sahadev nodded his head rushing outside. Duryodhan held his sister in his arms, his heart beating erratically at what happened to her. His eyes teary and hands patting her head softly.
"Maharaj! Did you ask for me?", Senapati Kottiyan came inside, his eyes going around the chamber detecting for any trouble his beloved King might be having. "Senapati, is your son here? Sahadev says so!" Kottiyan narrowed his eyes saying,"No. We didn't bring him here, Maharaj. But if you thought he would've sneaked, I can look into it and produce him before you!" The steely resolve impressed every single one and even Pandavas were jealous of the man's loyalty towards Vasusen.
"I trust Sahadev with my heart, Senapati. Get Viraj here. Don't scold or do anything without my permission. Just get him here!", Vasusen ordered leaning against the wall of the chamber, closing his eyes. His mind reeling with all the possibilities he'll face with the upcoming decision he has taken. Everyone looked at him curiously and saw his jaw tightening in complete concentration. Sahadev stood next to Maitriraj holding his arm looking at the man with worry. He hate when his Maitriraj tense and become completely silent like this.
"Bhrata? It'll be okay! Everything will be okay! I mean we're all here! We'll take care of Dushala together!", Sahadev said to Duryodhan who patted the younger's head in appreciation for trying to get him back normal. And Pandavas gave up trying to get Sahadev near them. They don't want to be embarrassed in front of everyone when the youngest lash them out. Among the brothers, Sahadev might be the calmest one, but Mahadev should save them if he gets angry, his words will have the deadliest poison to kill the person opposite him.
"Maharaj!", Senapati Kottiyan came exactly after 20 minutes pushing his son towards the feet of his King. Karn's closed eyes opened and he glanced at the fallen son of Senapati. He muttered,"Get up! Stand next to me without slouching!" He closed his eyes again, his fingers tightening around his own arm, mind reeling with all sorts of possibilities. Viraj stood there with lowered eyes but Sahadev said,"Thank you for saving our Dushala, Viraj! It means a lot!" Viraj hesitantly looked at his King before mumbling,"It's okay, Prince. I did what's called Dharma!"
"Senapati!", Vasusen's voice made Kottiyan tighten the sword in his hand asking,"Yes Maharaj! I'm at your service!" Vasusen simply held the man's hand asking,"Think of me as your eldest son and answer me this question" Kottiyan's grip on his sword loosened and he asked,"Maharaj?"
"If Viraj is my younger brother, can I select the bride for him?", The King of Maitri asked making Senapati say,"You don't need to be my eldest son for that, Maharaj. We'll do everything for our kingdom, even sacrificing our personal likes and dislikes!" Viraj nodded his head in acceptance after taking a deep breath. "Ofcourse, Maharaj! Anything for you and our kingdom!" Vasusen patted Viraj but turned towards Duryodhan asking,"I'm asking your sister hand in marriage to Viraj, Suyodhan. Tell me!" Gasps were heard around and Arjun asked,"What? She's a princess! She won't marry that low life! How dare you?"
"ARJUN!", Sahadev's scream of anger made everyone coil back. Arjun looked at his youngest brother with wide eyes who glared at him saying,"You better watch your mouth because I'll surely raise my sword against you if necessary. Dushala is not your sister. She can marry whoever she wants or her brothers want. Just stay here as one of the Pandavas obeying your eldest brother and watch what's happening. Nobody asks your opinion now!"
"Dev!", Vasudev called his youngest cousin who glared at him saying,"You better watch your four cousins, Madhav. Don't blame me if I slap them in front of everyone! Bhrata Suyo, you say whatever you want now!" Vasusen pulled the boy next to him telling,"Calm down, Dev! What happened to you?"
"What Bhrata? They keep on doing something stupid and they are getting on my nerves. One word against you or Maitri, they'll face war invitation from me!" Vasusen groaned saying,"Alright fine. Calm down now, Dev! You're acting out of your character. Ashwa, take him outside for a walk!"
"No! I'll control those Pandavas, you carry on. I'll not say anything more if they kept their mouth shut!", he stubbornly stood next to King of Maitri glaring at his brothers. Pandavas looked at their youngest with wide eyes. What happened to Sahadev? Why's he behaving like that?
Duryodhan didn't say anything but asked Dushala,"Do you want to marry Viraj, dear? You'll not be a queen but lead a very peaceful life in the kingdom of Maitri. It's your decision. You can say yes or no. Nobody will force you or do anything!"
Dushala looked at her saviour for a moment before saying,"If he is okay, then I'd rather lead a happy life than be a queen of a Kingdom" Everyone looked at Viraj who bowed saying,"Whatever my king says, will be my decision too!"
Keshav looked at Vasusen who looked back at him. The King of Maitri said,"It seems like we have to join hands together to do the last prank, Vasudev!" Grinning at Karn, Vasudev nodded his head saying,"This must be the bestest prank that ever happened in Aryavart!"
Sahadev rolled his eyes. He's seriously going old because of these two.
