Third person's pov:

The next few days passed by in a blur. All the princes were busy with the battle preparations and thus, Suchitra couldn't talk to the Pandavas for more than a few minutes or sometimes they just exchanged greetings and she didn't like it. She also didn't have any encounter with Angraaj Karna after their fight and she found it weird since he was practically living in the palace and could always be seen with Duryodhan but whenever she was around Duryodhan he was nowhere to be found.

Today the princes were going to leave for Panchal hence, the palace was buzzing with people coming in and going out, it was busier than usual. The workers were walking around here and there with the belongings of the princes, the chariots and horses were being readied for the journey and the soldiers were readying themselves and were being armed with different kinds of weapons and armours.

A thought of visiting the Pandavas before they left crossed Suchitra's mind, she immediately perked up and smiled as she fast walked towards the chamber of maata Kunti where the Pandavas will be present. When she reached her destination she saw the five Kuntiputras standing there talking to their mother and taking her blessings. "May I be permitted to enter the room? I hope I am not disturbing" Suchitra said with soft smile on her face.

Everyone turned towards her and smiled happily "Putri! Come come, you don't need to ask for permission" Kunti happily said, Suchitra was in a mischievous mood so she side eyed Yudhishthir and smirked "Actually maata, I do need to take permission someone scolded me for entering their room without their knowledge" She said with a pout to look innocent, after hearing her words Yudhishthir cringed inwardly while his brothers quietly snickered. "Who said that putri? Tell me their name and I shall give them a good lecture" Maata said with a confused frown to which Suchitra laughed and dismissed it "No need to do that maatashree it's alright and anyways I was here to meet the Panduputras before they leave" she said with a smile and moved forward infront of the five brothers who looked down at her with soft eyes and smile gracing their lips "Rajkumaron I wish you all the luck and hope that you win this competition against your cousins. It would be fun to see the look of lose on Bhrata Duryodhan's face" she said the latter part with an evil grin which startled and amused the elders in the room.

Bheem laughed loudly and patted her head "This is why you are my favourite Rajkumari" He said with a proud grin making Suchitra smile giddily like a child being praised. Maata Kunti shook her head with serene smile as she looked at her sons and Rajkumari of Shanya talking happily among themselves. 'I pray to you O Narayan! Please don't let these smiles fade away, keep them happy and united' She thought. Then a dasi entered the room and bowed "Pranipaat Rajmaata, Rajkumaron aur Rajmumari" she bowed "It is time for the Kururajumaars to depart" she informed and left.

The Pandavas turned to their mother and touched her feet "Ayushmaanbhav mere putron. Come back victorious" The brothers smiled at her and and turned to Suchitra, who was standing behind Maata Kunti, not wanting to disturb them, they joined their hands and she did the same and wished them best of luck once again "May you all come back as winners" she smiled.

All of them left the chamber and went towards the palace gate where everyone was waiting for them. Suchitra walked ahead of the mother-sons group and went towards Duryodhan and Dushasan who saw her coming and mentally face palmed. She grinned at them in a mischievous and malicious way, her eyes twinkling "Mere priya bhratashree Duryodhan aur bhrata Dushasan! I pray to Narayan that you come back victorious" she wished but they could see right through her act and knew she was being sarcastic "Dhanyawaad Rajkumari" Duryodhan said with a forced smile.

It was finally time for the Princes to leave, all of them took blessings from their elders went away. Suchitra saw Karna standing there looking at the disappearing figures of the princes, her smile turned evil and malicious and her eyes twinkled with a dangerous twist. She walked towards him and patted his shoulder with fake sympathy "It is alright to feel sad my friend Angraaj, it is truly disheartening to see that they left you behind" Suchitra mocked with pity in her voice, she could see he was getting annoyed by the way he clenched his his jaw. Her grin widened, she tip toed and whispered into his ear "They must have taken my words from that they seriously and thought you weren't a good enough warrior" she knew she was playing with fire but her subconscious part of the mind took the best of her.

Angraaj turned around ferociously, his eyes red and his fists clenched. She looked up at him with an innocent look in her eyes and a small pout on her lips. He looked at her like he wanted to say something but decided against it and stormed away. The cheshire grin  made its way on Suchitra's lips again as she too skipped away snickering to herself, looking for her next target who also happened to be her favourite.... Mamashree Shakuni.

She kept looking around hoping to find but when she didn't she decided to visit his chamber. She went towards his chanber and asked the dwarpaal to inform him of her presence. When he came back he nervously told her to enter. She grinned and skipped inside the room "MAMASHREE!!" she exclaimed in an overly sweet tone making the man flinch and give her a fake smile "Pranipaat Shanyakumari" he greeted her begrudgingly "Pranipaat mamashree! I haven't had many talks with you since the time I arrived in Hastinapur, I must say that I missed you dearly" Suchitra said her grin not wavering even once "So, I decided now that your nephews aren't here I must keep you company so that you don't get bored" Shakuni's eyes widen with terror and he let out a nervous laugh "Rajkumari you don't beed to take such pain for me, I am perfectly content" "No you are not, I shall keep you company" She said with a sweet smile but her voice was completely opposite of her facial expressions, she spoke in a low and demanding voice which spoke 'I wont take no as an answer,if you say no be ready to face consequences'

Shakuni gulped and decided to play along "Okay then Rajkumari what would you like to do?" he questioned his smile wavering a little. Suchitra giggled and clapped her hands together "I want to learn Chausar from you" "No" was the immediate answer which made her pout "why not?!" she asked "I won't teach it to you" "Please!" "No"
"Please"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Please"
"No" Shakuni got up and started speed walking out of his chamber and Suchitra followed him like a puppy
"Please"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
To the onlookers it was very amusing sight. The King of Gandhar running away from a little girl, she even followed him to the court requesting him to teach her the game. It was a very funny sight for the elders present their and they were trying hard not laugh but it was futile, the King, Queen, Rajmaata, Mahamahim and Mahamantri all laughed loudly as Suchitra continued to chase the man who limped around the whole court.

It reminded them of the time when Suchitra came to Hastinapur twelve years ago for the first time. It felt like they were reliving one of their most precious memories together. Everyone laughing and smiling. Oh! what a beautiful family.
