"If he gets to know who we are, he'll definitely kick us out of here Why do we have to stay here brother?" Bheem asked Yudhistir.

"We need rest before we continue our journey, we are disguised as Brahmans, we cannot stay here for long otherwise he will come to know our true identity," Yudhistir said.

"He knows our identity," Draupadi said

"What? How?" Arjun asked

"No one can recognise us, but he can recognise everything related to archery," Draupadi said and looked at Arjun,

"Aarya, he must have recognized your Gandiv by now, I am sure," Draupadi said

Draupadi called a soldier,

"Are common people allowed to stay in this palace?" Draupadi asked

"No Dev, only other kings and princes are allowed to stay here. Angraaj has built another residence that consists of multiple chambers and common people would stay there," The soldier said and left.

"Which means, he knows we are The Pandavas, like seriously?" Bheem asked

"I will kill him even before he plans to kill us," Bheem continued.

"You are right Panchaali, he would have recognized my Gandiv,"Arjun said.

"It is better for us to leave as soon as possible," Yudhistir said

Shankuni returned to Hastinapur for Duryodhan. 

"Hadn't Karna been here, my son would have committed suicide," Dridhrashtr said worriedly.

"I won't spare the Pandavas for insulting my son," He continued.

"Of course, Maharaj! We will not spare the Pandavas," Shakuni said smiling slyly.

"That is a wonderful plan Mamashree!" Duryodhan said happily

"Finally, I will quench my thirst of taking revenge from the Pandavas," Duryodhan said

"I will have to tell this to Friend Karna," Duryodhan said

"No, no, my child, Angraaj would question you if it is Dharm. He is such a confusing and confused character. He is indebted to you as you saved him from humiliation. At the same time, he is not able to leave his so-called Dharma. He is the only one who can fight Arjun and we must not let him go that easily," Shakuni said

"We should tell him that we are trying to make peace with the Pandavas," Shakuni said.

"Okay, uncle," Duryodhan said.

"Remember, I do not trust Angraaj. Make sure he comes late to the sabha," Shakuni winked at Druyodhan

"Angraaj Karn is trustworthy," Duryodhan defended

"He is trustworthy! But make sure he doesn't do his monkey-like pranks and try to protect that bloody woman in the sabha. He does not think before breaking the rules. Despite being a sutaputra he learnt archery. So it would not be difficult for him to break the rules," Shakuni said and Duryodhan nodded his head.

The Pandavas had reached Indraprasth in the meantime.

"It is surprising that Angraaj did not fight with us despite knowing our identity," Nakul said

"Or maybe he did not recognize us," Sahadev said,

"No Sahadev, he knew it was us, that is why he offered us to stay in the palace," Arjun said

"This man is unpredictable," Bheem said

Vidur reached Indraprasth to convey a message to the Pandavas. The Pandavas doubted on Duryodhan's intentions. Vidur pleaded the Pandavas to decline the offer. 

"Pitamah Bhishm is there, Guru Dron will be there and even our uncle, Maharaj Dridhrashtr will be there, then why should we fear? All they can do is to snatch our Kingdom. I do not want to disrespect Maharaj Dridhrashtr at any cost," Yudhistir said and agreed to come to Hastinapur.

The Pandavas were welcomed with great pomp and splendor. Duryodhan touched Yudhistir's feet smiling brightly. He was happy to see Draupadi along with the Pandavas. 

"Pranipat, Babishree," Duryodhan said,

"You snatched my weapons, I will snatch your dress,I will not spare you" Duryodhan thought to himself.

"How about a dice game, brother?" Duryodhan asked Yudhistir.

Yudhistir did not want to hurt King Dridhrashtr and agreed to play the game. 

"The Real Game Begins Now," Shakuni said and smiled at everyone.
