Only one piece can be royal at a time.
Two Kings or more??
Sort:
do we replace the queen 
with a NEW king or somewere else

We've actually been discussing this recently (idea proposed by @rune_raider), but we came to the conclusion that it would be too confusing, hard to code, and/or too different to be a variant of chess
I interpret multiple royal piece rules as counting a checkmate when the royal pieces are all under attack simultaneously and there is no way to defend them.
how can they be all attacked at the same time?

A single piece can fork or skewer them or several pieces can attack them separately.
ok
soo is there a check?
Hello! There was second king in the chaturaji (obtained by the single pawn promotion). If one of the player's kings was taken, nothing happened: he lost when 2nd was.

Hi!
We've seen a similar issue previously and we're still looking to fix it. Could you link us the game so we can see if it's the same thing?
Thanks 
Hm. Maybe I was wrong and the 2nd king functioned as Mann.
Extracted from mediaeval Chaturaji rules:
"32. If there be a fifth King created by the Shatpada of a Pawn, and he is taken,
it is a misfortune. He will then slay as he moves the moveable forces. (Meaning
doubtful.)
33. If this happens a second time the victor slays the hostile forces." (Source: Murray, A History of Chess, p. 70)

Oh, I see!
I misunderstood; I thought you had a bug to report. My bad!
The variant we know as Chaturaji here was adapted by @hest1805 for play on this website. It was found that playing with the original ancient ruleset wasn't really viable as it was complicated and imbalanced. Furthermore, the ancient variant was played with dice. xD
Still, there's a lot to be said for learning the history behind the variants we play (and chess in general) and always nice to see players who are interested in that

note that chaturaji is already imbalanced lol
It still is to some extent :P
