When we meet the despondent and eccentric King of Shikharwati, he is living alone in the large palace with his trusted advisor Mishraji and a lean staff who are at the mercy of his idiosyncrasies. Alarm bells ring when King's lawyer Mr. Guleria comes bearing a Government notice to pay retrospective wealth tax of a whopping Rs 32 crore or give up the palace. Mishraji is worried, he knows he must act fast. But King is continuing to act childishly hopeless and hopelessly childish. Mishraji needs the King's four estranged daughters - the heiresses of Shikharwati - to return home and find a solution. He convinces King that this time, he has made such a foolproof plan, that the sisters will finally be re-united. King's eyes twinkle. He would love for his broken family to come back together. Mishraji sets out to meet the daughters. Luckily for Mishraji, he catches the four daughters - Devyani, Gayatri, Kamini and Uma - when they are each going through the lowest phase of their life. He presents each of them with a carrot - King has chosen a successor and wants to give her 200 crores in person. Down in the dumps in their own personal lives, they take the bait. With trepidation, the sisters return to their old home, and finally come face to face with each other and their father after 6 years. All hell breaks loose when Mishraji tells them that no successor has been chosen and they must compete with each other to win the prize money. The mention of a competition throws them into a rage. When they vehemently refuse to participate, King plays a trump card. He lies to his daughters that he is on his death-bed, and it is his dying wish that they play the Navrasa Royal Games one last time. Shocked at the revelation that their father might be dying, the daughters are rendered speechless. Mishraji is sure now the daughters have no option but to stay back.

The episode opens in the past. We get to know why the daughters reacted angrily at the mention of the competition. Twenty years ago, when Rani Mrinalini passed away, King had devised the Junior Royal Games - to distract his daughters from their grief. What started as the family's attempt to cope with loss, soon turned into a hateful rivalry between the sisters. After years of trying to win against each other, at a party the sisters had publicly humiliated each other. Things got out of hand, and they finally left the palace and each other, vowing never to return. In the present day, now back together at the palace for the first time since that party, they are haunted by bitter-sweet memories of each other and of their mother. Mishraji meanwhile comes up with a fictitious name for the King's fictitious disease - Cardio Solitudinem Intermissimitis. The Navras Royal Games begin. The first round is a cooking challenge ala Masterchef - spontaneously titled Shanti Ras. The competition brings a win for Uma, but it ends in a bitter squabble between the sisters. Kamini calls Uma weak and pitiful, Uma berates Gayatri for having abandoned her. Finally Devyani loses her cool and calls out each of her sisters' weaknesses. Reminiscent of the dreadful party 6 years ago, she once again leaves the palace dramatically, hatefully telling the King there is no place for him in her life. The family is broken again. King reprimands Mishraji for having made a failing plan. The twist in the tale occurs when Devyani, back home in Mumbai, realises that her husband Harsh, is not cheating on her; instead he is broke, and to top it, he has borrowed money from a Don who is threatening to kill him if he doesn't return the money. Devyani needs to swallow her pride and return to Shikharwati with a strategy to win the Navrasa Royal Games.

Meanwhile, as a reward for winning the Masterchef game, Uma earns a 'mann ki baat' (a heart to heart) with her father, during which King offers to fund her game without participating in the competition to be King.

King and the 3 daughters can't believe what they are seeing - Mishraji has orchestrated a re-enactment of the terrible incident at the party 6 years ago. Mishraji is somewhat saved from the King's ire when, suddenly, Devyani appears on the scene, dressed to participate in the stage play. Everyone is shocked. Devyani however has come back with a plan. Instead of participating in the stage play, she converts it into a roast on the King. One by one, they begin to make embarrassing jokes about him and garnering laughs from the villagers. Devyani cinches victory, but the real winner, as Gayatri's adopted daughter Padma puts it, is the King. Seeing his daughters re-unite even momentarily against him, makes him feel he still save his family, if he continues to remain the villain for a little longer. Somewhere on a lonely road, unknown to the royals, somebody is planning to take down Shikharwati.
