As the news of Radha's coronation starts spreading to distant kingdoms,we see horses galloping swiftly from a location a few miles away from the palaces of Magadha,their hooves tearing through the ground as they rush toward the palace
The urgency of the horses and the impatience of the soldier riding them indicate that this news will not be pleasant for Magadha
Before the soldier can enter, he is stopped by the gat keeper "state your purpose " the gate keeper demands in a firm voice
" This message is for Prince Kartikeya It is crucial that it reaches him immediately " the soldier replies showing the royal seal on the massage,seeing the seal, the gate keeper allows him to enter
Everyone in the court can sense the urgency of the soldier 's entry "what happened that required you to come from so far?the king asks
The soldier begins to read the massage he holds: "Dear Prince Kartikeya, I am your best friend and general veerabhadra
I am ashamed to inform you that we may have already lost the war against the kingdom of Kaushal
On the upcoming Vijayadashami princess Radha of kaushal is to be crowned as the queen of Kaushal, She is about to become the queen she has also begun trying to form alliances with other kingdom for the war
Hearing this, Kartikeya become enraged and slams his hand against the wall beside him
"This cannot happen! All our efforts cannot go in we cannot accept defeat!"
"Commander "Kartikeya roars "prepare the army once again we will attack Kaushal to destroy the princess 's dreams This time we will not only destroy Kaushal but also the princess herself
And we will launch this attack on Vijayadashami, the day of her coronation!"
As Kartikeya's words echoed through the grand hall, a tense silence followed, charged with the anticipation of imminent conflict. The commanders and ministers, who had gathered to discuss the fate of Magadha, exchanged uneasy glances, knowing the gravity of Kartikeya's decision.
The thought of launching another war, especially on the day of Radha's coronation, sent a wave of uncertainty through the court.Kartikeya, with his fierce gaze, walked down the steps from his throne, his mind racing with thoughts of vengeance. The defeat his army had suffered at the hands of Kaushal was a deep wound to his pride, and the idea of Radha ascending the throne of Kaushal added salt to that wound.
He couldn't let her rise to power—her victory would be a permanent stain on his name, a reminder of his failure."We will strike when they least expect it," Kartikeya continued, his voice cold and determined. "On the day when they celebrate, we will bring them to their knees. We will crush their hopes and erase the very memory of their victory."The court remained silent, but the unease was palpable. Some of the older ministers, wise from years of serving in wars and politics, knew the risks of such a rash decision.
They had seen kingdoms fall due to pride and hasty actions. However, none dared to oppose Kartikeya directly, for they knew his temper and the consequences of challenging his authority.As Kartikeya's orders spread through the palace, preparations for the upcoming assault began with haste. Soldiers were mobilized, weapons were sharpened, and battle strategies were revised.
The once peaceful atmosphere of Magadha now buzzed with the chaos of impending war. Kartikeya's resolve was unyielding, his mind set on one goal—Radha's downfall, no matter the cost.
