Chandrapur, Yadava Kingdom.
"Stand down. Heed to my command. I, Gauri Seuna, shall claim my rightful position."
The declaration roared across the battlefield. The royal army heeded the command and surrendered without a fight. The bloodshed was avoided. She just had to take the final step and kill the bastard who had assassinated her brother.
Commander Bhishma got up and kneeled down.
"I shall acknowledge Princess Gauri as the rightful heir to the throne."
Little did Gauri know, Bhishma knew that she wasn't the imposter the moment he saw her on the battlefield. Despite this, he didn't surrender without a battle because if the princess didn't show her power,.
There would be people clawing for the throne looking down upon a woman ruling the kingdom. So Bhishma initially decided to challenge Gauri for an honorable duel. But she challenged him first.
