I Become Karna With a Million Times Crit System In Mahabharata.

Chapter 179 177. Without Ounce Of Worry

"Don't worry about it, It's time for Mahamhim Bhishma to do his daily training."

Dhritarashtra swiftly replied to the commander, telling him reason without telling him anything at all.

How can he can tell the reason even if he didn't know what was happening out there? When he came here everything was fine, Karna was just unconscious out of exhaustion.

So he has no idea what unravelled after he left but he can't say that can he? Absolutely not.

How can it be seen that the king himself didn't know what was happening in his kingdom, No matter how good there is the relationship between Hastinapur and Ayodhya.

".....Really? Am I foo-"

"My lord, We understand. Indeed mighty warrior like Bhishma possesses such a power that spreads terror all over, We come here to support Hastinapur against attack but seeing the situation we are not needed here."

The commander was a hot-headed man who only knew how to march in the battlefield to fight for the honour of his kingdom and defeat his opponents, So how can one expect a man on the battlefield to engage in the hypocrisy of diplomacy?

He was a straight outspoken man, Like he saw through that the king was lying to them and so he decided to speak out not realising this is a normal thing in politics.

He was about to pierce the hole in that thin layer of paper shade but the warrior who also popped up from the shadows ironically as they both belonged to Sun dynasty and prevented him from speaking further.

The commander was not sure why his subordinate did this as he looked at him with confuse look asking from gaze of why but the subordinate ignored that question and just kept talking to the king.

"Oh that is why, If that is the case then I the king of Hastinapur whole heartily give my thanks to the Ayodhya, Give your king my greetings, I offer you to stay here and enjoy the hospitality of Hastinapur, You and your army would been too tired of the rushed journey."

Dhritarashtra was glad that this new person come to spoke with him, It would be too embarrassing if he kept talking if the hard-headed commander, The truth, the righteous Dharma he follows only work on the battlefield not on the royal court.

Here sometime one has to lie, bend, kneel, trick and much more that is forbidden taboo on the battlefield, So it is indeed no place for a warrior to be as the two codes could not coexist.

Of course he was happy to get the support of Ayodhya in the troubled time, Though the threat had not passed yet but at least he was getting time he so desperately needed to arrange everything for war.

Unfortunately his opponents also getting the same time for preparation, So it's good to hear that there is at least one alley he can fall back in the time of need but he still does not trust them fully nor he ever will.

That is how life is here, The royal court is also a battlefield but unlike on the ground one, Here words of the arrows and swords which target others not just intending on just harm but doom of other party.

Here everyone is all their own. They can have little trust in others but never let their guard too down and be caught unprepared. That Is why when giving Karna his kingdom he called this crown of King as crown of thrones.

"We can not deny the so generous offer of the king. We thank you for your generosity, king. On this note we asking the permission to leave from the court for the rest."

The subordinate is also good at trenching on these hypocritical paths and so he also understands the meaning of the king.

The King wants them to stay as protection but can't say it out loud as how can he ask the army of another kingdom to stay in his kingdom for protection? The army power of Hastinapur will become a joke in others eyes.

He understood if there is the Ayodhas army staying, then if someone attacked them they can also join in the group and if another army attacked them Ayodhya can justly wage war on the kingdoms.

This way both parties have their dignity and pride in the place while also protecting themselves in the process.

Subordinate has an awe for this Dhritarashtra before he, like everyone else thought this man is not worthy enough for the throne, How can the blind man survive in the place where nothing is out of limit?

Everything that can be used against one another is being used here no matter how below the belt the actions were, and most importantly how can blind man be able to see through all that and lead his kingdom?

But after seeing this now he has to admit, people are underestimating him. He looked innocent and harmless as a rabbit but he got the feeling that this was just a disguise. If need come to be this man can flow a river of blood on the will to protect his subjects.

And for that he has respect for the king and so the decision to stay here is also admired by him, as he understands the another purpose of their being here is for the king to figure out their purpose for coming here.

The actual purpose not the one they were saying, And considering kinh should know about the legendary weapon which awakened here was given by them, It's more likely he does not trust them.

"Please you are guest of us, *Clap* Soldiers show them the royal guest chambers, and entertain them. Make sure they and their army get proper treatment."

Dhritarashtra also heard the tone of that subordinate, So he knows why he asked them to stay here but that is what makes this more fun. Both know what the other party intends to do but can't say it as they don't want to fail in their own mission.

It makes governing exciting and brings a change in work to do than his usual task of just reading and signing documents.

Soldiers hearing the king's command quickly moved and lead the two people one confused commander and one gleefully happy subordinate towards the guest chambers.

'What kinda more trouble are you going to bring me, Karna?'

After they left Dhritarashtra pinched his nose bridge wondering of much more trouble Karna was going to give his poor father-in-law.

There was already Vidurs issue that he not get time to deal with it, He not even seen Vidur since yesterday, There is also tension rising in the Maghda kingdom and his on the topic of Anga kingdom.

And now there is this new events, he just hopes Karna gives him heads up before he created any more trouble, it was hard to deal with everything at once.

…..

"Seeing if anyone is injured, If they do bring them back to the royal medic, Also don't clean the garden for now, dust has not settled yet, do that later."

Gandhari came in bringing along with her group of soldiers and healer apprentice with her to provide first aid if someone was injured in the fight just now.

The mother medic along with the royal doctor are also on stand-by in their quarters for any emergency, As all the life saving things are stored there, So it was better for them to stay there and bring patients to them than to put those medics here.

The moment she came, She had that commanding aura an empress should have. She had that authority in her voice that made people obey without meditation. The charm can only be found in a few people.

She also warned soldiers not to go too close to the middle of a battlefield as it is not settled there. She didn't know what was in there. It's best to keep soldiers away from the dust.

'I was just gone for 5 minutes, It's really not taking much for him to become destructive, right?'

Gandhari as leading soldiers asking them to look for injuries and to see if someone needs medical help started thinking in her mind.

She was gone to bring a royal doctor for Karna, Though Rishi Durvasa said to her that it was just an exhaustion, She just felt like there should be medicine for it.

And so she leaves the room. She just took the foot in the royal doctors chamber then she felt the power come from. Yeah she had seen two of the rishi start fighting but she, like others, thought they would not take too far.

So she found out that she was dead wrong. These sages, just like warriors, have the same if not more urge to fight off, And they indeed go all out.

She saw all that through the place she was standing thanks to the shield created by others keeping her away from the aftermath of the fight.

So when she saw the fight was stopped she came here without even an ounce of worry for Karn.
