Karna after listening to Amarsri's advice decided to allow the kids to participate in war. He thought the all-mighty Harihareshwari must have something in her mind, and whatever it is he will trust it.
Dilip and Prithvik also came to Virat nagar to discuss war-tactics, no-one was worried as the warfare-wizard Krishna and the weaponry-witch Amarsri themselves were on their side. Right now they were deciding who to send for peace-treaty.
"SHANTI PRASTAV LEKE, AMARSRI JAYEGI." Krishna declared.
"YEH UCHIT RAHEGA, RAJKUMARI AVANTIKA KYA AAP JAYENGI ?" Yuddhistir asked.
"AWASHYA." Amarsri agreed.
"HUM SHANTI-PRASTAV BHEJENGE ?" Draupadi asked in a disapproving tone, as she entered the room.
"SHANTI-PRASTAV BHEJNA EK OPCHARIKTA HAI DRAUPADI." Krishna said.
"GOVIND, MAINE AAPKE SHABDO PE VICHAAR KIYA, APNE HRIDAYE KO DRID KIYA, SAARI PIDAYO KA SWIKAR KARLIYA. ITNE KATHINAYIO KE BAAD JAB MAINE BALIDAN DENE KA SANKALP KIYA AAPNE TOH YAGYA HI BAND KARNE KA NIRNAYE LE LIYA." Draupadi said.
"DRAUPADI SHANTI KA PRAYAS KARNA ANIVARYA HAI." Karna said trying to make her understand.
"AUR AGAR UNHONE MANYA KARLIYA TOH ? YUDH NAHI HOGA ? MUJHE NYAYE NAHI MILEGA ?" Draupadi asked.
"VISHWAS RAKHO DRAUPADI, KEVAL MUJH PAR HI NAHI USS AHANKARI DURYODHAN PAR BHI. YUDH TOH AWASHYA HOGA AUR TUMHE NYAYE BHI MILEGA." Amarsri assured.

In Hastinapoor, Duryodhan, Dushashan, Ashwathama and Shakuni were conspiring against Amarsri. They can't let the weaponry-witch to be on the Pandava's side. They all were standing in the furnace area, making special chains so they can capture Amarsri.
"KYA HUM RAJKUMARI AVANTIKA KO BANDHI BANA PAYENGE MAMASHREE ?" Dushashan asked.
"AISA SANDEH KYU MERE BACHE ?" Shakuni asked.
"USKE BAARE MAI KAYI KATHAYE SUNI HAI MAMASHREE, MAYAVI HAI, CHAMATKARI HAI, KUCH LOG TOH SWAYAM BHAGWAN MAANTE HAI USE." Dushashan said, Shakuni chuckled.
"VYARTH BAATE HAI YEH SAB, BHAYE KO BHAGWAAN MAAN LENA MANUSHYA KA SWABHAV HAI. VASTAV MAI AVANTIKA MANUSHYA HI HAI, KEVAL THODI SI MAYAVI HAI, HA USKI SHAKTI AUR BUDDHI KABHI-KABHI MUJHE BHI BHAYEBIT KAR DETI HAI. KINTU WOH BHAGWAAN NAHI HAI." Shakuni said.
"BHAYE APKO LAGTA HAI MAMASHREE, MUJHE USS LADKI SE KOI BHAYE NAHI, SHAASHTRA KEHTE HAI KI EK MAL DO PANDITO SE ADHIK SHAKTISHALI HOTA HAI, KYUKI WOH PANDITO KE MASTAK PAR EK-EK PRAHAR KARKE UNHE BRAHMAGYAAN KA MAARG DE SAKTA HAI." Duryodhan laughed, Shakuni gave him a deadpanned expression.
"MERE BACCHE, APNE BAHUBAL PAR ITNA GHAMAND MAT KARO. BUDDHIMAAN MANUSHYA KE NIKAT PAHUCHNA BHI KATHIN HOTA HAI. AGAR VASUDEV AUR AVANTIKA DONO HI PANDAVO KE PAKSH MAI HAI, TOH MERA CHAL BHI TUMHE VIJAY NAHI DILA SAKTA. SMARN RAHE TUMHARE PAKSH MAI JITNE BHI SHUR-VEER YODDHA HAI YEH SAB USS AVANTIKA SE PRABHAVIT HAI. VIDUR, AVANTIKA KA SAMMAN KARTE HAI, WOH BUDHA BHAIRAV BHISM AVANTIKA KO MAHAN MANTA HAI. MAHARAJ, KRIPACHARYA, DRONACHARYA YEH SAB AVANTIKA SE BHAYEBHIT HAI." Shakuni said.
"YADI RAJKUMARI AVANTIKA, PANDAVO KE PAKSH SE RANBHUMI MAI SHASHTRA LEKE KHADI HOGAYI TOH TUMHAR SAARE MAHARATHI YODHAO KA BAL, AADHA HOJAYE GA AADHA." Shakuni said. That is true.
"TOH HUM KYA KAR SAKTE HAI ?" Ashwathama asked.
"AVANTIKA KO BANDHI BANAKAR KARAGAR MAI DALNA UCHIT HAI AUR ISME VASUDEV BHI KUCH KAR NAHI PAYEGA KYUKI USKE PRAAN HUMARE MUTTHI MAI HONGE AUR VASUDEV KO AVANTIKA KE PRAAN PRIYA HAI." Shakuni said.
"BANA LUNGA, SAMASTH RAJ SABHA KE SAMNE USE BANDHI BANA LUNGA MAI. SAB JAAN LENGE KI AVANTIKA KE MAHANTA MAI SATYA KITNA HAI AUR KATHA KITNI HAI." Duryodhan laughed.
"YUVRAJ KI JAI HO ! RAJKUMARI AVANTIKA NAGAR MAI PRAVESH KAR CHUKI HAI." A das came and informed.
"CHALO MERE BACHE." Shakuni said.
