Chapter 67: Rama is told the news

Meanwhile, Rama, as part of the last chapter of Yuvraj prep, visits Kau and touches her feet to seek blessings. The minister leads his way to Kau’s where Rama currently is. He thinks of running away rather than tell Rama the latest developments. Minister enters kau’s place. Kau, looking at his face, asks what the matter is. Minister tells that, as per KK, Bharat’s gonna be the Yuvraj and not Rama. Kau is shocked. Rama is overjoyed. He tells KK knows his mind. Also, Bharath is better politician than Rama. But, then minister says Rama is supposed to go to vanavaasa for 14 years. Kau is shocked again. Rama decides to visit KK. Sita overhears all.

D is slowly recovering. He offers her a deal. Let D and Rama go far away from Ayodhya. That should suffice KK. KK refuses. Rama arrives. He thanks her, saying Bharath is a better manager of kingdom. Also, he says, staying in forest is no big deal. It would give him pleasure to understand problems of people living there, to share their sadness, etc and allow him to solve their difficulties.

D shouts “Refuse!” He almost faints again. He tells Rama to become vidrohi (enemy of the state) Rama asks how D can say that. How can sunshine be outlaw to Sun. How can perfume be outlaw to flowers. No. He shall not become victim of ‘breach of promise’. He takes blessing from KK and preps to leave the palace.
