"Come here harini I have to tell you something about the new weapons"
Dushashan played his every day trick on harini for her to come out of her hiding place.

Making her quickly say
"What is it dushashan I want to know take me to the weaponry room"

Harini (another name of Akshaya) jump down from her place on the cupboard kept in her room scaring dushashan who let out a girly scream.

"Harini don't you ever do that again you could have gotten hurt"
Duryodhan come forward from his place at the entrance of her room and check her for any injuries.

"You don't need to worry about me I am fine and the main concern right now is dush is about to take me to the weaponry room to show me new weapons"
She again turn to dushashan whose face turn pale as the weaponry thing was lie and now he was about to be caught.

"Pranipat Rajkumar Duryodhan, Rajkumar Dushashan and Devi Harini Maharaj want you all at the entrance to welcome Rajmata and Pandavas"
A dasi inform them.

Duryodhan and Dushashan expression turn to sore while harini was excited to meet them .

"We shall go right now let's go welcome them and later we will play together "
Harini turn to the two with a big smile on her face.

They could not say no to her so nodding their head they let her lead them through the corridors to the main entrance while connecting their hands together.

Pandavas were at the stairs walking inside the palace just then Kauravas stop them by standing at the door .

"Give me side vikarn"
Akshaya run to the centre and stood beside duryodhan whose eyes soften a bit seeing her.

"Pranipat panduputron I am Akshaya"
She fold her hands in front of them giving them a smile .

"Pranipat Devi"
Pandavas say in unison while returning her a smile.

" Harini putri come inside meet rajmata too"
Maharani gandhari called out to Akshaya and she run inside to greet them.

While Kauravas finding it the right opportunity approach Pandavas with a superior look and start belittling them for living in forest and asking them to bow in front of them.

..........

Harini walk around the corridor swinging her arm back and forth and humming a tone when suddenly she bump in a wall .

She wince at the harsh connect but it wasn't a wall but a human .
One of the pandav with others standing behind him.

"Forgive me Devi I wasn't paying attention"
He apologized keeping his down.

"No Rajkumar we were both at fault no need to apologise alone I'm sorry too"
Harini give him a cute smile such that his heart melt at her innocence.

"I think we should play something and then I will show you around the palace now let's go hurry up before my sakha's come looking for me"
She grab their hands and drag them to the garden where they introduce themselves realising none of them had done it earlier.

Days passed by as some horrific incident happened which scared harini but Pandavas and Kauravas were there to embrace her as well as the elders.

Her strength was something that amazed everyone around her. Indeed she was a unique child filled with surprises.

Harini had become a lifeline of everyone single soul in the palace and the kingdom.
She was just a child but her act of kindness, innocence and honesty made them wrap up in her little finger.
