Time TRAVEL to MAHABHARAT

Chapter 6

Whole court became silent, this was indeed a possibility . Another woman who was kneeling beside her spoke

Women: what are you saying, it was indeed her who killed my husband

Yukta: what is your name

Women: rima

Yukta: so Rima , did I allowed you to talk in front of me . You will be given a chance to say your side of story but till than remain quiet. Know your position and circumstances that you are in .

Rima : forgive me rajkumari, I was just worried about my dead husband.

She said crying

Yukta ( in mind) : this scheme of looking pitiful is too old

Bhishma: so putri are you saying she didn't murder her husband

Yukta: I never said that , I just stated facts.

Duryodhan ( in mind) : can't she just tell us the truth now. She is perfect and knowledgeable, born to be queen , my queen.

He became excited at this mere thought of yukta becoming his queen

Nakul: jyest bhabhishree is awesome

Sahadev: haa jyest

Karn: yeah , awesome

he said keeping all his attention on the tiny figure, that stood in the middle of court.

Arjun: jyest close your mouth

Bheem: haa jyest, what if a fly goes in

Karn face became red in embarrassment

Yudhishthir: jokes apart, she really has a point. I am impressed, I will talk to her about ideologies and facts.

Duryodhan: just tell us , who is the murderer

Yukta: kumar, if you want to find the culprit you need to know testimonies of every person involved. You need to know alibis and conform it . I cannot simply state the murderer by mere assumptions.

Duryodhan: then why do you say that in the first place

Yukta: kumar , I am here as a guest. I don't have authority to investigate and present the murder. I cannot see someone unjustly convicted . So I raised my voice. It will be better if you ask the person investigating the case to be present and speak with evidences , that he may have collected.

Bhishma: yes you are right, call the person incharge. Putri you presented us a different opinion so I give you the authority of this case .

Yukta: I gladly accept

A person who was in his mid 20s entered

Person: long live his majesty, the king . I am surya ram . I have been investigating this case .
