"My Queen, we all have been waiting for answers. Citizens have been waiting outside. Shall we bring them in?" Kutumbh says.

Dvijesh and Aeindri are seated on their throne. Dvijesh looks towards her.

"Let the people come inside! Open the doors!" Aeindri commands.

Crowds of people enter the court shouting.

"Kill Asrasya!"

"Drown Chandraketu!"

"We want answers!"

"Why is Asrasya not dead, my Queen?"

"Silence!"Aeindri shouts and continues.

"Probably I got what you were saying mahesh mantri(minister of the king) Kutumbh."

She rises from her throne and walks towards the crowd. Everyone stares at her.

"I shall answer your questions. Everyone hear knows now, the powers that I hold. That of the mighty Indra. But you do not see what it would lead to. I am very impatient to destroy him but not his Kingdom and people. Remember oh, gods, I mean revenge from Asrasya not his clan and his Kingdom and people which was once our ancestors. Our Chandraketu which is now his, physically, yet ties a bond with us. We, the Chandravirs belong spiritually in the holy place, which I would never think to destroy. I hope you have got your answers. You may now leave but don't lessen the burning fire in your heart dear citizens! Remember the disgrace! Leave now!" And saying this Aeindri goes back to her throne.

The preceeding crowd keeps chanting, "Long live you, Aeindri. Long live and bless us!"

"Yes Kutumbh ji. Any other problems?" Aeindri asks.

All the males in the courtroom stare at her in awe. How could she handle the entire crowd single handedly?
