Next day is new day to everyone in Mahal, mostly for three Ranis, they are excited for new life, where they can have there husband to themselves. Seeing garden burning made their hearts cool down fully. Everyone knows that queen is king's weakness, she holds lot of space in kings heart now when she is left the place they all want to grab it now totally.

Mandakini is the one who don't talk much nor express her true feelings, she looks subtle, humble and unbiased, but her true nature is total different she is aggressive, impatient, ambitious, greedy, always snatches things from others.

Today all three wives got up early got ready in special manner, they all want to attract king by one or the other thing, they want to grasp sugandhi place as soon as possible. They reached puja room with children and found sugandhi already present with her children, she is looking simple and fresh. All greeted her with loosing mood.

King entered everyone wishes him, he too wish them back, he calls his all children holds his youngest son and sits with them to play, meanwhile pandit came sugandhi helped pandit, when it is time for puja all stood in lines, king came to sugandhi and stood besides her, all felt odd. They expected queen to be moody and aggressive towards king and king should be burning anger on queen instead they are together trying to good to each other doing arthi.

Later in evening Mandakini is in her kaksh, she is roaming here and there in her room, she is so much anger on herself, she felt she got single chance to grab kings attention on her but things turned to opposite. She is thinking a plan to keep queen away from king now. She is desperate to make her son Giridhar Yuvaraj at any cost now.

"Did you get that person?"
"Yes Ranisa, she is at back door she is waiting for you agnya Ranisa" said her personal dasi veena.
"Bring her in" ordered Mandakini.
"Yes Hukum" she left and bought a lady.
Lady is around 50 years, she is wearing normal servant uniform, she is strong built and normal looking lady, she is looking as if she desperate in need of some money.
"Pranam Ranisa! I am tarki,"
"What work you do for queen?"
"I am cleaner of the rooms in queens chamber Ranisa shall I work for you too Ranisa"
"Yes you need to work for me but not here, in queen chamber as my agent, gupcharo ka kaam. You have to inform me everything queen does, specially with kumar Manik, what she teaches, makes him do, brings him things, everything, daily night Veena comes to you, and you should report her everything."
"But Hukum if she knows she will kill me"
"If you don't inform me I will kill you"
Tarki got shocked, she don't know what to do or say, she bowed her head
"I will pay you a bag full of silver coins on every No moon day, amavas"
"Ji Hukum" she nodded in acceptance without raising her head
"Good take this bag and leave if anyone see you going or coming tell them I called for cleaning go while going give her some waste" Mandakini ordered
Tarki and Veena left the place after greeting her properly. "Ji Hukum agya"

Mandakini made her move this time, she looked at her son who is just younger than Manik just months, when queen is pregnant with Manik, Mandakini send sweets to king in request of spending time with her, being newly wed wife king couldn't deny he spend a week with her, she got pregnant soon, before Manik queen got two girl children so Mandakini expected that queen will have one more girl but to her disappointment she gave birth to Manik, and Mandakini too had a boy, she is happy but she felt she is late by few months, so she provoked king to announce that worthful son will be titled with Yuvaraj but giving him example of king Jaimal who got a dumb Yuvaraj but his second son is extremely good and talented. King Jaimal always regret for making him Yuvaraj.

King too felt that he should be cautious with his kingdom than being blinded with sons love. That is how he announced that he will look for best one to be his Yuvaraj. With that king and queen had fights which made her extremely happily thinking that she got double dhamaka but now they are sorting things and queen is sharp she is focusing on her son more. Mandakini felt red alert.

Mandakini too started to train her son, Giridhar works with brain more than anything, he always tricks his mother and runs away which made Mandakini worry a lot. She is keeping an eye on queen so that she can make her next move.

King is in his library. He is extremely stressed. He closed eyes and called his  antharang (spot) santho
"Santho ask queen to come with some snacks I am feeling hungry"
"Ji Hukum" santho ran to inform servants

Queen came after ten mins, she is wearing a beautiful mild coloured saree, her head is covered and throne is been placed, she is neatly dressed.
She bought few people with her, they all are carrying snacks and drinks, her Sakhi Ratna is with her too,
"Inform king that queen is asking for permission" Ratna said to dwarapalak (solider near door) he bowed and left
"Queen is asking your presences" he again bowed
Queen sent snacks first and then she entered king got up.
"Pranam king! How are you?" Queen spoke politely
"Pranam queen I am fine by god grace hope you are doing great too"
"Yes king gratitude for asking"
"Come have your seat queen" king offered she came thanked him and sat down
Ratna came forward to serve king some snacks he showed his hand to stop her, he showed her to get out. Ratna and all others along with santho left the room giving couple privacy.

"King shall I give you snacks" sugandhi came forward, king dragged her to his lap "I want you as some snacks I am feeling exhausted and headache you alone are medicine for that, come on don't make it hard more" king said while kissing her hard she moaned "king it's day time and it's library"
"And I am king" he said while sealing her under him, she couldn't explain more he didn't listen too. Both got involved in act forgetting everything,

"Sugandhi! You give me something which makes me content and relived with worries and problems I always feel you as my medicine, today I was thinking about our daughter marriage, what do you say? Did her training of future queen completed?"
"She is just 13 king, she needs more one year to be queen, and I can't live without her. She is my life" queen started crying
"Don't cry queen girls should and must leave us one day or the other, and we all know it very well, we should prepare ourself, be strong sugandhi"
"Nothing can prepare me for that day, the pain I feel is something I can never get over or prepared you are man you can bare it but I can't Prabhu"
"Don't worry I will give this one year Kush? Enjoy with our daughter as much as you want but let Manik go"
Queen with shock got up from his arms "means?"
"Let him go to Gurukul he is 9 years he should start his education now along with Giridhar, Rudra and Harsha. Udhay is infant he may take time"
"King you are cruel you can't do this call Rajaguru home and order him to teach here in mahal"
"Which is impossible queen and you very well know that, I promise you our sons will be protected and kept well, they will be trained very well, so be calm and please don't stop them it is said abshakun hota hai Maharanisa"
Queen cried "how will I live with out my children?"
"I am here I will be more naughty so that you will forget children or May be we can have some more children so that your loneliness will be gone for sure" queen blushed, king felt excited.
"Let us make more babies queen" he jumped on her again,

King called Rajapurohith to sabha
"Pranam Maharaj! May almighty give you strength to rule praja hearts, give you worth full wealth and lots of children as happiness"
"Dhanyawad Raj Purohit, it's all your blessings which keep us in strength, please have seat and makes happy" raj Purohit sat down king and queen did Pranam to him and after him they slept.
"Purohitji we summons you on very important work, you know everything, our Rajkumars are now grown up to send to Gurukul I request you to check an auspicious day to send them after doing sanskar of vadugu ( a sacred thread will be added to their arms from right side to left, it carries six lines, it will show that boy will has to pray and do his duties towards praying gods and his personal duties as a good man, till now some communities like bhramin, Kshatriya, etc perform it even in all states of India. Without that ritual he is allowed to do yagn, marriage, even death rituals to his parents)" king asked politely.

Raj Purohit did some calculations, he then opened panchang and checked dates and times
"King! This Poornima is best day for all Rajkumars to have their ritual of vadugu, and on the same day they can start journey for Gurukul too"
"This soon?" Queen said in hurry"
Raj Purohit laughed "queen I understand your mother love but think as queen and be strong, yes only that is best for everyone"
"Kshama Purohit I was carried away as mother their is no intention to question your knowledge forgive me thinking as a mother"
"I understand queen don't worry" he bowed and smiled
"So Raj Purohit I request to arrange everything for that occasion, I want everything to be perfect and be done in Royal cultures, celebration will be started from next day of amavasya, invite whole kingdom, arrange for best food to praja, gifts too. Invite whole country for entertainment their will be mallayuddh, dances, story telling, musical performances, sword fight and army display too. Khanoj ji arrange everything accordingly"
"Khanoj ji! Call for ladies in bhramin families to Royal stay, we have them to perform rituals with help of them, announce that all ladies who delivered recently will have each one a cow, and a bag of grains, send invitations to everyone, specially to our bhaisas, (sisters of king)write letters to them, king will sign them personally, invite their families with respect, then send to all Ranisa families too. All gifts should be accordingly. Make everything perfect and Rani Mandakini will be responsible for all these things, hope Ranisa you will take best care about gifts" queen said
"Ji Maharanisa and gratitude for choosing me" she said with broad smile,

King started arranging things for everything and he invited some Gurus too. Rajguru is also happy to make a batch of boys his students.
