"What do you think about it, Arya? He is best candidate for Sushala, Right?"

Gandhari spoke up in the excitement and mild anxiety to her husband Dhritarashtra, Who was sitting on the bed carefully listening to her words while rubbing his eyes.

She wanted to bring this subject last night but her husband was too tired because of the official he fell asleep before she get a chance to bring this subject with him.

So she just wait for him to wake up and when he was up she started bombarding her idea on him. From why Karna is a good husband for Sushala to how it can help the kingdom, She was prepared reasons for everything from emotional to political.

"Gandhari, Priye, I just woke up. Can you just give me a second to catch up? Let's start from why you think he is good for our Sushala?"

Dhritarashtra had to stop his excited wife and ask her to start from the beginning as he didn't get a thing she was babbling about.

"Arya, Who else will be better than him? In beauty, I am sure no one can come near him. You might have found out how he ticked Mahamantri Vidur to join a neutral side, So he is also intelligent.

As for lineage? He is king, Which makes him Skhatriya, And yesterday be also go through reawakening with Putra Duryodhana, So in strength he is also superior especially when Rishi Durvasa himself made him his student.

And yesterday there is another Rishi-"

"Wait!!! Stop there, Too many things unfolded there, Reawakening? When? Why don't I know about it? Also why are you calling Putra Suyodhana in derogatory name of Duryodhana? How many people know this?

As for Karna, He too get a reawakening? How? And when did Rishi Durvasa accept him as his student? Priye, Please give me an answer to these questions."

Gandhari was so excited that she didn't mind retelling things from begging to her husband, But Dhritarashtra's eyes become wide open when he heard she talking about reawaking of his child, He have no idea about it.

He gets news about Vidur from his secret spies in the palace and he too felt proud and appreciative about how that little child's brain works, Especially when he knows Karna not only tricked his brother Vidur but also Mahamahim Bhishma.

But these are still small things compared to the reawakening. As said before there are very few people who have reawakening since the beginning of time and all of them have become mighty warriors and figures in this world who leave their names in golden letters in pages of history.

Because of that he could not help but be shocked and happy that his eldest son got this opportunity, And what was even more surprising was that the rarest event happened twice in the same place one after another.

In Dhritarashtra's mind gears were spinning as he think about many ways this can benefit him and his family, People often forget or ignore that though he is blind he is not stupid.

He managed to run a big kingdom like Hastinapur, Even with backing of warriors like Bhishma and Kripacharya, It is impossible to maintain the vastness and peace of this kingdom without a proper political moves, Which he excels in it.



Hence why the moment he heard about this news his first instinct as a king was to see how this can benefit his kingdom as the two people who get that divine blessing is on his side but soon his fatherly side took over and he asked import question.

If someone knew this news, It would be troublesome. No one has guts to attack the prince of Hastinapur in front but there is no saying they will not try to attack in the dark, So he was quite worried about it.

"Oh forgive me Arya, I wanted to tell this to you yesterday but you are too tired. This happened yesterday when Karna came to eat at the royal dining hall. When Nakul called my eldest Putra Duryodhana, Everyone including me was angry.nov????????????????????dot????/o/????

But Karna praised Nakul, saying that the son born from the boon of Mahadeva deserve such na ame, Duryodhana the unconquerable, Putra liked this name a lot and when Pandavas leave after the Mahamantri Vidur incident, Putra announced that he will be called as Duryodhan, The unconquerable from now on.

The exact next moment when he announced, His reawaking started, Thankfully there were not many people present in the hall at that time, Only Karna, Bhrata and our kids, So no one found out about it.

Later Sage family came and they blessed Duryodhana and Karna, Who also done with his reawakening which was way scarier then Duryodhana's, Then Rishi Durvasa came, Much happened after that which I will tell you later.

But one thing led to another and they accepted him as his student. Only these many people know about this secret, and now you also know.

This is why I am saying, He is best for our Sushala."

Gandhari fully understand the excitement of her husband, She too was go through these emotions when all that tapping in front of her eyes, So he patiently tell Dhritarashtra about all yesterday event.

Right now all she wanted to do is to arrange the marriage between her daughter and Karna. This is the best she can do for her daughter.

She knows the royal family women also have responsible towards the kingdom especially the daughter of the King and princesses in the Harem of the kingdom, She knows there will be a day when Sushala also has to do her duty towards the kingdom.

Though Gandhari as a mother and women hate this political marriages but a queen and empress she understand the importance of this, Not only do these marriages keep the alliance strong between kingdoms but also grow stronger with it.I think you should take a look at

Also the women who married through this political marriage not treated ill, They get their own place in the royal court and power in the kingdom, It is both to show that both Kingdoms trust each other and also to keep an eye on each other.

Yeah, that's a duality, Say we trust you but always keep backhand ready to arise of treason, This is a royal life and relationships, Gandhari didn't want this for her daughter.

Sushala will get some power in another kingdom in political marriage but whether she will be loved or respected by her husband will be a mystery, As for Swayavars? She knows they are pretty much scams.

There are two types of Swayamvara. In the first one Princess will walk towards the king or prince she likes and put a garland on him choosing him as her husband but this decision was already made for her.

Princess only puts a garland on the man she wants when that person is beneficial to the kingdom. If not, those people are not put into consideration at all.

As for 2nd method of Swayavara? It was a little different from the first one. Here is a huge possibility of variables. Here a task is given and whoever completes this task, That man will marry the Princess.

Here, princess or king, No one has the right to interfere once rules are spoken. 

Any worthy men either king or prince can come and try completing the task and when they are successful they will get a princess. It seems the most fair way to choose a husband for a princess but even here there is a trick.

Task decided by either the princess or her father, So they only chose such a task that only the man they already had in mind could complete, Like some chose archery, Some chose mace fight etc.

So they make sure the candidate they have in their mind will win and even if that candidate loses, They still get a better one as the one who completes the task obviously better than the candidate they have in mind who failed.

Hence they away get what they want. There is no loss for the daughter party but the problem is that in this type, the princess barely has any voice about who she wanted to choose.

"Servant!! Please go and prepare the luxurious gifts of gems, gold, silver and other valuable thing, Make sure that there will be no mistakes in it, Go and hurry up to arrange it.

Make sure all those things should be worthy of the image of the Hastinapur kingdom."

After hearing the words of Gandhari, Dhritarashtra quickly stood up and roared towards the gate, And called out the servant who always standing outside to fulfill any command of their master.

A servant quickly replied to the king from outside the chamber as they can't enter the chamber without permission of the King or Queen themselves, After he get the order without any delay, Servant go away to prepare a things asked by his mater.

"Arya?-"

"You are right, We can't let go of such a Son-In-Law, He is not only best for Sushala but also for our kingdom."

Gandhari got an idea of what her husband wanted to do but she still wanted to hear from him, Which he also understood and given an answer that the king would give to her.

This made her happy as she called out her Dasi (Female servant) to help her to be ready. Though slightly annoyed that he first saw the benefit of this for the kingdom but knowing how much her husband loved this kingdom and the people in it, She forgave him.

She also has to go and doll Sushala up, Her daughter should look the best today in front of her future in-laws, When Karna will back from his training they will hold a big marriage for them.

…..

*Shiver*

"Why does it suddenly become cold?"

Karna jumped out of the water and felt goosebumps appear on his body making him shiver. He didn't understand what was happening. All he could say was that maybe a sudden change in temperature in the water and outside made him like this.

So Karna just walked towards his house unknown to the fact he was walking towards the Asura field as Queen Gandhari is not the only one who thought of this plan.

(A/N : I am sick again, That's why there was no update yesterday, Sorry ????.

Do you think Karna can survive this?

Also, Like always thank you for reading and have a good day ????.)
