Arjun's P.O.V.
"Come, Anuj Duryodhan. Let's begin the game." said Jyesht gesturing to the Chausar board, Duryodhan smiled evilly and walked up to the Chausar board
"With Samrat's permission Mamashree would like to say something." said Duryodhan gesturing to Gandhar Raj
"Avashya." said Jyesht, Gandhar Raj
"Samrat, in the world, the game of Dyuth has a very bad reputation. The thing is, all the games that have unclear rules tend to be bad in general terms. Even a life without rules tends to be painful. Samrat, that is why, before beginning the game the rules of this game need to be clarified.
"Tell me, Mamashree. What are the rules?" asked Jyesht
"Me?" asked Gandhar Raj pointing at his chest
"No, Samrat. To come up with the rules one needs to have deep knowledge of Dharm. One needs to be knowledgeable of justice. One needs to be experienced. And Dharm, justice and experience are embodied by none other than Mahamahim Bhishma." said Gandhar Raj gesturing to Pitamaha, who looked at him
"Mahamahim, I request you to decide the rules of this game so that when the game begins you have nothing to say against it. Do I have the permission of Samrat?" said Gandhar Raj
"Avashya. Pitamaha decides the rules of the game would be best." said Jyesht, Pitamaha stood up
"Pardon me, Samrat. The game of Dyuth does not honour the labour and competence of a person. It is a slave to fortune." said Pitamaha looking at Duryodhan
"That is why, I do not approve of this game." said Pitamaha
"But, Samrat." called Gandhar Raj, we all looked at him
"Wise people say that something choreographed by the Almighty for us is called fortune." said Gandhar Raj
"Gandhar Raj!" snapped Pitamaha, we looked at him
"Fortune is not Adharm! However, toying with one's fortune certainly is. And, Samrat what rules can be made for such an Adharm deed?" asked Pitamaha
"Come up with such rules, Pitamaha, which can restrain Adharm." said Pitamaha
"Very well. Then lend an ear to me. First and foremost, Samrat, the ones to be most hurt by Adharm in the world are women. And the recipients of grave injustice are again women." said Pitamaha looking at Duryodhan
"That is why, until this game of Dyuth is over none of the women will be present in the court." said Pitamaha looking at Duryodhan again Duryodhan frowned the rest of us nodded
"How is this correct, Pitamaha? All these arrangements have been made to honour Rajkumari Tara after all. Her presence in the court is mandatory, Pitamaha." said Duryodhan
"Then this game of Dyuth shall not be played, Yuvraj. Because I have firm faith that Putri Tara would appreciate traditional art (Music and Dance) and warfare more than a game of Dyuth." said Pitamaha, Tara nodded smiling, Pitamaha smiled nodding back
"Oh no, Mahamahim! Maharani has made arrangements for the Rajkumari to see a host of clothes and jewellery." said Gandhar Raj
"Our Jiji enjoys warfare more than fancy clothes and jewellery." said Yuyutsu
"It's ok, Yutsu." said Tara
"You might as well go too, Yuyutsu." said Duryodhan
"That is Indraprasth Kumar to you, Yuvraj Duryodhan." said Yuyutsu pointing at Duryodhan
