In Hastinapur

**Duruyodhana's POV**

"Please, dear Lakshmana, go play somewhere else and be careful not to hurt yourself," I said gently.

I often wonder when he will grow up.

"What, dear son-in-law, spending time with children?" Mamashree asked with a warm smile.
"Yes, it's been far too long since I've had time with my son. I feel like I've been so consumed with the Pandavas and Dhaksha's kids," I confessed, my heart heavy.
"But you still have every reason to be concerned," Mamashree said, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder.

"Why? I've sent our spies to find them, haven't I?"
"That's precisely the issue, my son. Our spies can't seem to locate them anywhere in the forest. They left earlier, surely a part of Vasudeva Krishna's plan," he replied, a knowing smirk on his face.

"That's alright. Let's send more spies to explore the nearby kingdoms. There's no need for worry, Mamashree."

"Yes, I've already informed them," he said, nodding.
"Now we just have to wait for their updates."
"But Krishna is always one step ahead. We must remain vigilant; there's a chance they'll slip through our fingers," he cautioned.
"We've recently heard that Arjuna's son Abimanyu is under Vasudeva's training. I'm hoping he won't cause any trouble," I said, feeling a mix of hope and anxiety.

"I trust it will be alright," he reassured me.

"It's time for me to focus on my son's training. I want him to be braver than Abimanyu, who seems to have captured everyone's admiration," I said, leaving Mamashree's side, my heart set on my goal.

**Dhaksha's POV**

"Dhakshan would be a wonderful name for you, Dhaksha," Yudhistran Na suggested kindly.
"Yes, it's perfect!" Nakul added with enthusiasm.

^^^^^^

"You're really starting to look like a young man," Draupadi commented, her expression surprised yet supportive.
"Oh, I can't believe I have to spend a whole year like this! Sakhii, can we swap roles?" I asked, holding her hands, hoping for a moment of levity.

"No, dear. You have to keep up your education about—"
"About what? Sakhi... Draupadi, where are you looking?" I turned around, feeling a sense of curiosity.

It was Brihanala.

"My dear Brihanala, you look stunning!" I laughed, trying to lighten the mood.
"Even now, Arjun Bhratta and Jyesthabhavikashree still look like a couple!" Nakul chuckled, bringing a smile to my face.

I stifled a laugh at the sight.

"You look lovely, my dear supriyaa," I teased.
"It's all thanks to Madhava," Aarya said while readjusting his earrings with care.

"What do you think of my idea for Brihanala?" Kanha Na asked.
"Absolutely perfect, brother!" I laughed.

"Wait, let me show you how to wear that properly," I said, adjusting it with a smile.
"By the way, what about Mirthik and Virthik? Where are they?" Yudhistran Na inquired, looking concerned.

"Putras!" Aarya called out.

They appeared from behind a tree, their expressions bright.
"Wow!" Draupadi exclaimed, her eyes wide with delight.

"Greetings everyone! I'm Mirthi, and this is my sister Virthi," Mirthik introduced themselves with a cheerful wave.
"What? They're my... uh," I stumbled, feeling a mix of shock and affection.
