Narrator's POV
In Dwarka:-
Minister - Please be patient ! Why would Prince Arjun do this ? After all he is the husband of Subhadra and the best friend of Prince Krishna.
Balram - I am thinking the same thing now, Minister. Why would this even happen ?
Minister - The Pandavas share a really good bond with Subhadra. They won't harm her in any manner. You do know this right?
Balram nods.
Minister - And King ! Prince Arjun has rescued Dwarka and Princess Subhadra twice both from Kalyawan and Jarasandh. Please give it a thought ! This may be a plot !
Balram (confused) - I am not sure of what to do now. Maybe you are right, then who is behind all this !
Another minister steps forward and with a smirk starts.
Minister - Oh great King ! This minister is absolutely correct. This is a trap of the ..... Pandavas !
The others gasp.
Minister (continuing) - Arjun could have saved her.. I mean Princess Subhadra and Dwarka's pride just to gain the trust of the king, the Princess and Dwarka.
Balram frowns and appears to be thinking.
Minister - We never know what is the situation of our dear Princess in Indraprasth. We don't know what all she is subject to in Indraprasth.
Balram (angry) - Stop it Minister ! No, my sister is safe in Indraprasth. She is so sweet that no one can harm her.
Minister - It's always better to view things from either sides. Yes, Arjun could have loved her and could have married her for love.
Balram nods and smiles.
Minister - But what if he married her only for power? The Pandavas have always aimed to make their brother, the greatest in the entire Aryavat. The Yadavas are the one of the greatest kingdoms.
The other minister tried to interrupt but Balram signalled him to keep quiet.
Minister - They always know about the love you have for your sister. So they could have used her as a pawn to raise their power. What do you say ?
He looked at the people sitting beside him who nodded in response. Balram sat on the throne with a thud, his face filled with anger.
Balram - Where did Kanha go now ?
Minister (nervous) - His Majesty ! The second Prince Krishna has gone to the neighboring state with his wife, Princess Rukmini . You were the one who told me to send him there for some important work.
Balram nods and takes a deep breath getting up.
Balram - Send a spy to Indraprasth and find out if Subhadrae is there. If yes, the minister is wrong.
Balram (roaring) - But if no, then I will make sure Arjun learns lesson bringing back Subhadra to Dwarka.
Everyone nod in fear. While one minister sighs in sadness, the other smirks for he had successfully brainwashed his king.

In the neighboring kingdom:-
Krishna and Rukmini are walking in the corridor when Krishna nods her head smiling slightly. Rukmini is confused and asks Krishna what happened.
Krishna (smiling) - Nothing Rukmini ! Looks like someone is trying hard to things done. Resembles Shakuni uncle a lot !
Rukmini (confused) - What?
Krishna - Nothing dear ! Come let's go and have some dinner.

Subhadra POV
"Dwarka versus Indraprasth ! It will never happen !" I kept saying to myself after he left.
"Brother Krishna will handle the case in Dwarka while Arya can do so in Dwarka" I reassured myself when the door opened and the servant entered smiling at me. I let out a sigh of relief and smiled at him.
"Princess ! I hope you're fine. When the Prince entered the room, I was pretty scared that you should be safe" he said as he placed the plate down near me. I nodded.
"I am fine ! He cannot harm me because..." I said abruptly stopping as I saw another man enter the room. It was Brother Shishupal.
"you are our tool !" he completed making the servant tremble.
"I really wish my brother punished you beforehand Brother Shishupal" I said with disgust. He laughed at me and sat on his knees facing me. I froze and he held my chin.
I was fuming inside and wanted to hit him badly but my hands were tied.
"I can sense your death Shishupal ! You will not be spared" I screamed as tears rolled down my cheeks. His expressions drastically changed and he got up swiftly in anger. The servant immediately tried to distract him to save me.
"King ! Jarasandh wishes to meet you" he said in a broken tone. He nodded and went to the door when he turned behind.
"Servant ! You need not come to Princess' chamber from tomorrow if you want your life to be spared !" he said roaring and left. I looked at the servant and smiled reassuringly.
"Please don't land yourself in trouble" I said as he nodded and turned to leave.
"Will you be fine ?" he asked looking at me. "Of course. I will be. My brothers and my husband will surely come to rescue me !" I said smiling.
He nodded and left the place.

Narrator's POV
The servant was walking back home but all he was thinking about was about the safety of the Princess.
Servant (thinking) - I will have to do something, otherwise Prince Shishupal will do anything to harm her. But what can I do ?
A child on the street was shouting at the other one.
Child1 - Hey ! Do you think you are Prince Arjun that you can shoot the arrow with one hand. Do it properly !
Servant (smiling) - I know what to do now.
