Krishna's plan

"Ummm, actually Queen Bhanumati, a direct invasion won't be necessary. "

Krishna said with a gratifying smile. 

"What do you mean? Do you think Aryan can't do it? "

Bhanumati raised her eyebrows . 

"No, no, no, Queen Bhanumati. You're taking this the wrong way. All I'm saying is that a direct invasion/war is not an effective plan. And I, you see, is somewhat of an expert in this field. So I have a very nice plan which will make it easier to kidnap Princess Dushala."

Krishna reassured her. 

"How so Vasudev ?"

Aryan asked curiously, guessing what plan Krishna might have come up with. 

"I heard that after you defeated Jaraasandh, you took back the Anga kingdom that Paundraka gifted him back when Bhisma attacked with his army and was almost about to conquer Anga. 

So now, the conflict over Anga kingdom, which was previously between Hastinapur and Magadh has shifted to between Udra and Hastinapur. So, all you have to do is to visit Hastinapur on the pretext of discussing about this issue and solve it peacefully. This way, you will be able to enter Hastinapur and reach Princess Dushala without fighting. "

Aryan and Bhanumati exchanged glances, realizing the strategic brilliance of Krishna's plan. 

"Vasudev, your plan makes sense. By addressing the issue of Anga kingdom, we can create a pretext for a peaceful visit to Hastinapur. And if we arrange with Dushala to meet outside the palace, it could very well succeed without any need to fight at all. "

Aryan nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, Vasudev Krishna, your plan is sound. We should indeed prioritize a peaceful resolution if possible. But we must also be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances"

Bhanumati also agreed, adding her opinion . 

Krishna smiled, satisfied with their agreement. "I will convey this plan to Princess Dushala and make the necessary arrangements. Rest assured, I will do my best to ensure a smooth and peaceful reunion."

With their course of action set, they began discussing the details of the plan and the preparations required for their upcoming diplomatic visit to Hastinapur.

Two days later. 

Hastinapur Royal Palace. 

All the dignitaries were currently waiting at the entrance for the arrival of King of Udra kingdom Aryan Bahubali. 

Amidst all this, Bheema curiously nudged Arjun, 

"Hey Arjun, do you think that guy is really coming here to peacefully discuss with us? I highly doubt someone like him will agree on any compromise. "

"Brother Bheem, I don't know whether his intention of coming here is pure or not but let's suppose that we end up fighting against him, then are you prepared to fight back? "

Arjun teased Bheem. 

"Yes brother Bheem, if you end up being defeated by a single punch once again, you will be reduced to a laughing stock. So I suggest you fill your stomach to brim before fighting. "

Nakul also added from the side. 

"Hmm, I think you're right Nakul, I should ask the chef to prepare extra food for me today. "

Bheem nodded in agreement, not getting the joke at all, causing everyone to laugh out loud. 

"Hahaha hahah! "

Bheem's playful banter with Arjun and Nakul lightened the mood momentarily, drawing laughter from those present. However, the underlying tension remained, as they couldn't predict Aryan's true intentions.

While everyone was wondering what was probably going on in Aryan's mind, the protagonist finally appeared. 

With Karna leading a small unit of 50 soldiers following behind him, Aryan finally arrived in front of the entrance and alighted from his horse. 

"Greetings Udra naresh! "

"Greetings King Dhritarashtr. "

As Aryan and his soldiers dismounted from their horses and entered the palace, formal greetings were exchanged. Aryan's demeanor was calm and composed, reflecting his intent for a peaceful resolution.

After Aryan exchanged greetings with everyone, they finally stepped inside the palace. 

Inside the palace, preparations were made for the diplomatic meeting, and all eyes were on Aryan, wondering how this visit would unfold and whether it would indeed lead to a peaceful resolution of the conflict over the Anga kingdom

But naturally, Aryan had no such intention with his real purpose being to kidnap Dushala. 

Thus the peace talks led by Aryan and the crown prince Yudhishthir who was aided by Vidur ended up without any result that day and the rest of the discussions were postponed for the next day . 

That night, Aryan slowly walked out of his room and moved stealthily through the palace. His unique ability, Invasion, allowed him to create illusions, rendering him virtually invisible to the palace guards and soldiers.

Eventually, Aryan arrived at a specific room within the palace, standing silently in front of its closed door, ready to take the next step in their carefully planned mission.

With a flick of his hand, two small pink aerows came out and rushed towards the two guards standing on the gate, knocking them unconscious. 

With a gentle push, Aryan opened the door and stealthily entered Dushala's room. 

Inside the room, Princess Dushala was seemingly unaware of Aryan's presence, her attention occupied by the moonlight streaming in through the window. Her room was bathed in a soft, ethereal glow, creating an almost surreal atmosphere.

Aryan approached her cautiously, mindful of not startling her.

As soon as he got behind her, Aryan heard what she was murmuring under her breathbreath. 

" I wonder if he will really come? "

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Aryan's face. 

"Dushala," he spoke her name softly, announcing his presence. As she turned to face him, surprise and excitement danced in her eyes but fortunately Aryan stopped her before she could exclaim by covering her mouth with his hand. 

"Careful, if someone catches us here then it will be very troublesome. "

On the other hand, Dushala was completely lost in his charm the moment he touched her and nodded mechanically. 

"Hmmm."

Aryan slowly withdrew his hand from Dushala's mouth, allowing her to speak freely, though a trace of his gentle touch lingered on her lips.

He noticed the blush that had crept onto her cheeks and couldn't help but admire her poise and grace in the midst of such a daring endeavor.

Dushala's figure was bathed in the soft, moonlit glow that filtered through the window, casting a delicate radiance upon her. She stood there, ethereal and graceful, her form accentuated by the gentle curves of her silhouette. Her eyes, a pool of enchanting depths, shimmered with a blend of surprise, excitement, and a hint of vulnerability.

Her attire, adorned with intricate patterns and subtle jewels, clung to her frame in a way that highlighted her elegance. The soft fabric flowed gracefully around her, emphasizing her slender waist and delicate shoulders. Strands of her dark hair framed her face, their shadows adding a touch of mystery to her already captivating presence.

As Aryan gazed upon her, he couldn't help but be drawn to the beauty that radiated from her both inside and out. In that moonlit moment, the world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in a timeless encounter filled with longing and desire.

* clank *

As the wind knocked a vase to the ground, the resulting voice finally brought the two of them back to their senses.
