Mahabharat: What if

The return to Kampilya

"Then it must certainly be a part of your plan, Vasudev." he said, I smiled

"That is why you had sent me a message to come here. Vasudev I had heard a lot of your greatness but today... Today, I have seen it for myself." he said joining his hand

"No, maha guru Dron." I said separating his hands

"Vasudev," called Maharaj Drupad, we looked at him, he had his hands joined

"forgive me. I could not know you." he said, I walked to him

"Maharaj, had you known your putri's love and dedication knowing me would not have been that difficult. You have always deemed your putriyo to be your misfortune. Just look at Draupadi's greatness. Look at her dedication. Even the Kaumodaki gada of Vasudev Krishna pacified by her." I said

Meanwhile

Draupadi's P.O.V.

I was to the gates of the rajabhavan

"Draupadi!" I heard Jiji call I ignored her and continued walking

"Stop, Draupadi! Draupadi..." she said, I saw her next to me

"Let's go inside, Draupadi." she said

"I cannot go inside, Jiji. I have been exiled from the city." I said, Jiji shook her head she put her hands on my shoulders

"Draupadi, come inside and apologize to pitashree. I am certain. He shall certainly forgive you. If a chariot loses its wheel the wheel loses its definition. But even after a chariot loses its wheel it is still called a chariot. A child is identified by its father's name. Please do not bring arrogance into the picture, Draupadi." she said

"This is not arrogance, Jiji but the ones who have no self-respect they cannot command respect from others. And in order to have self-respect it is important for me to know what the purpose of my life is and what my strengths are." I said I joined my hand

"Pranipat, Jiji" I said and left

Krishna's P.O.V.

"Even the Kaumodaki gada of Vasudev Krishna pacified by her." I said

"Paricharak, to honor rajkumari Draupad, make the necessary arrangements for a grand procession. Prepare a gold palanquin! She will enter the royal court with great pomp and show! Where is Draupadi?! Where is she?!" said Maharaj Drupad

"Pitashree," called Shikhandini, we looked at her

"Draupadi has decided to leave Kampilya." she said

"Impossible... Impossible! My... My putri cannot renounce her kingdom. She must certainly be unaware that today, because of Vasudev Krishna I have had a change of heart, Shikhandini!" said Maharaj Drupad, gesturing to me

"S-She must not have gone far. I shall go and bring her back!" he said, he stepped forward

"Maharaj." I called he turned around and looked at me

"Let me, accomplish this task." I said smiling, he joined his hands,

"Very well." he said, I joined my hand and left

Time skip

Draupadi's P.O.V.

I was at cliffs of a waterfall

"Rajkumari Draupadi." I heard male voice call, I looked around and saw Vasudev Krishna

"Tell me what exactly did you do? W-Which mantra did you use? Share that knowledge with me, rajkumari. Help me better myself." he said
