Uttara

Duryodhan's Visit

Just like that a year passes, Uttara gets better at dance, archery, and fighting in general, and she became known as the most beautiful madien in all of the aryaverth, and the Pandavas are just 1 week from the finish of their exile when Duryodhan figures out their location and came to Matya desh

"Maharaj Vitata, I know that you've had the Pandavas come to your kingdom show them at once or else you leave us no choice but to wage war on your kingdom" Duryodhan says

"Yuvaraj Duryodhan there is no need to be so haisty, I haven't heard of anyone with the description you have given me, I'm sorry to say that you may have gotten the wrong place"

"I know very well that they are here you are just lying to my Pitashree just give us the Pandavas and we will leave" Duryodhan's son Rajkumar Lakshman says

"I don't know how to tell you" Virata thinks for a second "Call upon anyone, that you please and ask them, and if they haven't seen anyone with remotly the same description then you will know for sure"

Duryodhan smiles arrogently and looks at a dasi "Who in this palace would know about beauty the best, bring me who ever that is, and also bring me your General and Rajkumar"

"I'm sorry to inform you, we don't have a General, he passed away recently"

"How did he die?" Lakshman asks

"He had a bad habit of wanting every woman he saw, and one of women was married and her husband killed her" Maharaj Virata lies as he doesn't even know excatly how his brother-in-law died

"Anyway bring me the people I asked for, the person who would know the most beautiful woman in the Aryaverth and The Rajkumar" Duryodhan tells the dasi again

"The person you want is the Rajkumari, she should know if anyone with the traits of beauty you have described has come"

The dasi goes to get them, and Uttara comes into the hall nervous as she does know that the Pandavas are in Matya desh

Flashback to a few days ago

Sairandhri was applying medicine into Uttara's hair and were talking about random things, Uttara was always really friendly to Sairandhri and it helped Draupadi feel somewhat normal in such an abnormal situation

Uttara's Pov

Sairandhri's eyes look just like Samragni Draupadi's eyes, no no they were Samragni's eyes, does that mean the Padavas were really in Matya desh? If they were where were the rest of them? Think Uttara think who came newly in the past year? Brihannala, who can she be? Yudhisthir, no, it isn't Bheem, Arjun? It is said that he was good at anything arts related, that's it Brihannala is Rajkumar Arjun, that means he's Rajkumar Abhimanyu's father

"Rajkumari?" Sairandhri said breaking me out of my thoughts "What are you thinking about? You seem so lost"

"Nothing Sairandhri, Mata has been talking about my swayamvar non stop, I'm just nervous, that's all" I lie, which I think is starting to become a problem

"Rajkumari, don't be afraid or nervous, you will know who to marry once you see them, even if you don't your heart will know it won't accept anyone else, you will seem that you are not ready then but once someone asks you about marriage with a that person, you will be ready, you will know"

End Pov and Flashback

Uttara goes calmly, and smiling into the throne room where see feels the gaze of someone, an unfamiliar one

"Rajkumari Uttara Devi is coming" A dasi annouced

"Devi, this is Yuvaraj Duryodhan, his brother Rajkumar Dhussasan, his son Rajkumar Lakshman, and Gandhar Raj Shakuni"

"Pranipaat" Uttara says

"Pranipaat Uttara Devi" Lakshman says

"Rajkumari" Uttara says making Lakshman confused "It's Rajkumari Uttara Devi, Rajkumar Lakshman" Uttara says with a slight attitude "Why was I called? Is it anything important?"

"Devi, have you heard of the prettiest woman in the Aryaverth being in Matya desh" Virata asks

"Yes Pitashree, I have" Uttara says with a plan to misguide everyone

"Where is she? Who is she? Take me to her immediately" Duryodhan asks

Uttara points at a mirrior "There she is, the prettiest woman in the entire Aryaverth, you are looking at her" Uttara says proudly

"Do I-" Duryodhan starts saying before he is interupted by Lakshman's want for Uttara

"She truely is Pitashree, the prettiest woman in the Aryaverth" Lakshman says

"Then have her" Duryodhan says arrogently

"And who are you to say that?" Uttar says as he comes in the throne room

"You child, who are you? Learn to respect people" Dhussasan says

"I am Rajkumar Uttar, and you have no right to tell your son to have my sister"

"I apoligize for my son's behavior, he is very protective of his sister, he always says that before we can approve of her groom he needs to approve of him, and by Matya desh law the concent of the bride is needed" Maharaj Virata says shocking Uttar and Uttara

"So Rajkumari, will you marry me?" Lakshman asks

"I'm sorry I can't, I can only marry a Yodha who is from a family that follows Dhram, and the whole Aryaverth knows about your Dharm"

"Rajkumari Uttara, mark my words you will be mine"

"If I am meant to be yours, then I would know, and no wouldn't be my answer"

The guests soon leave and Uttara is relieved the whole time they were here it felt like she couldn't be free, she felt trapped

Meanwhile at Hastinapur

"She said no to me? The Greatest Rajkumar that ever lived, and she said no, What arrogence?" Lakshman says

"Yes Rajkumar we must punish Matya desh-" Shakuni says

"No Mamashree, I love it, I love her arrogence, I will make her mine, with or without her will" Lakshman said as his eyes filled with lust just thinking about Uttara
