51 Shocked Aryan
Vallabhpur , capital of Udra Kingdom
It's been two months since the war against Magadh. During this time, after taking over half of the Magadh and surrounding small kingdoms, Udra's power increased by many folds.
And just three days after the battle with Kalyavan, Bhanumati who received information about Aryan's injury returned to Vallabhpur. Just a few days later, when Aryan's injuries had completely healed he threw a grand celebration as Bhanumati was officially crowned as the queen.
Next, Aryan left most of the things to Karna to deal with while he himself enjoyed his honeymoon period with Bhanumati.
But this happy time was interrupted by an unexpected guest's arrival.
"Greetings Vasudev Krishna, I didn't expect to meet you so soon after we parted last time. "
Aryan said humorously as he invited Krishna inside the palace and also introduced him to Bhanumati,
"Oh and by the way, meet my beloved wife Bhanumati. She was staying at Kalinga the last time we met so I couldn't introduce you guys. "
"Greetings Your Majesty Aryan and Queen Bhanumati. "
As Krishna entered the palace of Vallabhpur, he exchanged pleasantries with Aryan Bahubali and extended a courteous greeting to Queen Bhanumati.
However, a strange expression crossed Krishna's face as he stepped further inside.
After everyone was seated in a room, Aryan decided to ask Krishna's motive. Because as far he knows about him, everything he does has a purpose. It's just that no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't guess what it might be.
"Vasudev, I don't like to go around in circles. So can you tell me what brings you here all of a sudden, without any prior notice? "
"All of a sudden, ah! To tell you the truth Udra naresh, this time I around even I was taken by surprise when I learnt about this matter. The thing is, I am not here on behalf of Dwarka or myself. Instead I am here as a messenger for Princess Dushala from Hastinapur on the request of my Aunt. "
Aryan and Bhanumati exchanged glances, surprised by the unexpected turn of events. It wasn't often that Krishna acted as a messenger for someone else, especially someone from Hastinapur. This piqued their curiosity, and Aryan leaned forward, his expression filled with intrigue.
"Princess Dushala from Hastinapur?" Aryan inquired, "What message does she have for us, and why would she choose you as her messenger?"
Krishna maintained his calm demeanor and explained, "Princess Dushala finds herself in a situation where she needs assistance, and my aunt, Kunti, believes that I can offer a unique perspective and help facilitate a resolution. The message she wishes to convey is of great importance to her, and she hopes for your understanding and support."
Bhanumati, ever perceptive, leaned in as well, her eyes searching Krishna's.
"I don't want to be rude but how does this involve us? I believe Hastinapur has enough powerful warriors to help it's own princess. "
"The reason I am here is because her own people are the cause of this problem. "
Krishna replied with a smile and looked at Bhanumati meaningfully.
When Aryan noticed Krishna's strange behavior, he had a premonition that this matter definitely had something to do with him. And he felt that if he continued listening to Krishna then he might land himself in some trouble.
But in the end Aryan decided to see for himself what this is all about.
"Please, Vasudev, share the details of the message with us. We are willing to listen and assist in any way we can."
Krishna nodded, his gaze steady. "Very well then. Princess Dushala has entrusted me to deliver a message that concerns matters of the heart. She seeks a way to convey her true feelings to someone she loves deeply, and she believes you, Udra naresh Aryan Bahubali, can play a pivotal role in this endeavor."
"Matter of heart? Now I can understand if she thinks you can help her in this matter but how am I supposed to help her ? "
Aryan felt confused.
"You'll know everything after you read this letter. "
Krishna handed over the letter written by Dushala.
Aryan accepted the letter from Krishna, his curiosity piqued as he wondered what could be written within. Bhanumati watched with keen interest as Aryan carefully unsealed the letter and began to read its contents.
As he read, Aryan's expression shifted from curiosity to a mixture of surprise and shock and he looked at Bhanumati uneasily, understanding the complex situation that had just been thrust upon them.
The letter actually contained Dushala's heartfelt plea, explaining her situation, her unrequited love, and her desire to be with the one she cherished, Udra naresh Aryan Bahubali, that is himself.
At this time Aryan finally understood why Krishna said that only I can help her and the strange look he was giving him and Bhanumati.
It has only been two months since their marriage so naturally it's impossible for Bhanumati to gladly accept Aryan marrying another girl. Although she knew that this is generally the case for kings who have multiple wives and was going to happen sooner or later but it still put her in a difficult situation.
Aryan finally folded the letter and took a deep breath before speaking, his voice measured and thoughtful,
"Vasudev, I understand that Princess Dushala's feelings are sincere, and she seeks our help in resolving this situation. However, I hope you also understand that it puts us in a complex position, especially considering our recent marriage. And I won't do anything against Bhanumati's wishes. "
Hearing this, Bhanumati felt a little better, knowing that Aryan really loved and cared for her. But with his remark, all the pressure shifted to her.
Krishna, who had been observing their reactions, spoke gently,
"I understand the challenges this poses, but Dushala's emotions are genuine. Queen Bhanumati, just think about it from her perspective. If you were forced to marry someone you didn't love because of family politics, what would you do? "
"As a woman I can naturally understand her misery. But Vasudev, think about it from my perspective too. "
Bhanumati, conflicted by her own feelings and the understanding of Dushala's predicament, replied with a hint of distress.
The room was filled with tension as they grappled with the complex emotions and moral dilemmas that this situation had thrust upon them.
Just when Aryan was about to decline the matter after seeing Bhanumati's distressed state, Bhanumati stopped him with her hand and looked up at Krishna with a determined look on her face.
"Vasudev, tell princess Dushala that two days from now, Aryan will invade Hastinapur to kidnap her. She should be ready at that time and I hope she doesn't change her mind then. "
