"What's wrong?" Vrushali asked Karna. Karna was not in the state to answer. Vrushali looked back and saw the Princess. "Why you kidnapped the Princess?" He asked. Karna had no answers.

Vrushali felt a sudden fear in her heart. "What's wrong? Karna, answer me", she demanded as she started crying.

Kirti approached them and held Vrushali's hands. She hugged her. Vrushali was taken aback. But, she hugged her back. Her gaze not getting away from Karna who was not even looking at her.

"I am your husband's second wife", Kirti said. Karna and Vrushali looked at her.

Second wife?

"Who's first?" Vrushali asked with tears. Kirti smiled. "You", she said. Karna shook his head. "W-what?" He asked in a choked voice. He felt as if everything was happening on its own. He didn't knew what was happening.

"Yes. Arya", she called out sweetly and Karna looked at her. "I am not selfish to seperate you from the girl you love. I came here with this thought only that we both will be your wives. And, I have no problem in being called your second wife because number really doesn't matter. All I need is you", Kirti said.

Karna felt his eyes welling up. Vrushali smiled widely.

"Arya. You will marry both of us, right?" She asked. "Yes", Karna whispered. Vrushali saw all of the villagers coming out. "Hello", Kirti said excitedly and went to meet them.

Karna smiled seeing it.

All the villagers were left in tears as she met them. They were not used to royals respecting them so much.

"I-I am sorry, Vrushali", Karna said looking down. He had told her everything, meanwhile. Vrushali smiled at him. "I am marrying you, so what's the issue? And she's so sweet, I have no problem", Vrushali said.

"And, even if we couldn't marry, I would have had no problem in waiting for you, for an entire lifetime", Vrushali said. Karna looked at her. He pulled her in a hug as she hugged him back.

"What have I done to deserve so much love?" He whispered. Vrushali chuckled.

Kirti turned around confused. "Where are mata and pitashree, Arya?" Kirti asked. Karna laughed. "Behind you", Karna smiled and said. Kirti went towards them and took their blessings.

Radha and Adhirath smiling went towards Karna and Karna hugged them happily.

"You are gifting me two talented and beautiful, daughter in laws", Radha smiled. Karna held her hand and kept it where his heart is.

"Arya, marry us both before they arrive", she said indicating to Hastinapura's royals. Karna scoffed hearing it. "As if I am scared of them", he said. He felt angry just by remembering Arjun.

"Arya, I don't want any hindrance in our marriage. The drama can continue later", she said seriously and with a deadpanned look.

All laughed. Adhirath looked worried for his son. "I am ok, pitashree", Karna smiled. Adhirath sighed and nodded. They proceeded towards the mandap. It was already set for his and Vrushali's wedding.

Kirti grew sad remembering her family.

"Kirti, I am here with you always", Karna replied. Kirti nodded and hugged him. She started sobbing. Vrushali looked at her sadly.

"I-I a-am missing t-them", she said. Karna kissed her hair and sighed. "Priye, everything will be alright", he said.

"Karn. Complete your marriage with Vrushali and then Kirti", Radha instructed. Karna nodded as he caressed Kirti's hair. "As you say, mother", he said.

The marriage rituals proceeded and he got married to Vrushali and Kirti.

They took blessings of elders.

Kirti couldn't believe that she was finally married to one she loves. She had joyful tears in her eyes. "Proceed to Anga, putra", Radha said. The people there would be so excited to meet their Queens.

"I think, I will need to go to Hastinapura first, mata. A very furious family awaits me there", Karna said.

Kirti got scared. Vrushali held her hand. "He's there with us", she said. Kirti nodded. "There's nothing to be scared off", Karna said gently to Kirti and exchanged looks with Vrushali.

They quickly went towards the chariot bidding everyone bye. Karna didn't want any ruckus in front of his people.

"Take her safely to Anga", Karna said to the soldier indicating personal maid of Kirti who nodded. "Yes Maharaj", he said. Kirti gave an assuring look to her and the maid nodded and went.

The trio left for Hastinapura royal palace.

The royal family was awaiting them with scowls on their faces. Duryodhana looked happy. Karn got down and rushed towards Duryodhana. "Mitr", Karna said and both hugged each other.

Vrushali and Kirti stayed there, on the chariot itself.

"Kirti, Vrushali", Karna called out and both got down. The four climbed upstairs and entered inside. "How dare you, Angraj?" Bhishma yelled. Kirti and Vrushali came and stood on either sides of their husband.

"How dare you marry the girl supposed to marry Arjun?" Dronacharya yelled. Karna clenched his jaw. "Clearly, that girl wanted to marry me instead of your favourite student", Karna mocked.

He remembered how Dronacharya rejected him just because of his caste.

"I am sure you have a hand in this", Nakul said. Kirti glared at him. "I know it's wrong for the daughter in law to speak in between but I am not going to tolerate my husband's disrespect. Arya has no hand in anything. It was me who took him in a strange room and confessed my love. He fulfilled my wishes by marrying me", she said.

"My Karn doesn't snatch others wives, Prince. He has no interest in any of that", Vrushali said in her husband's defence. All were shocked seeing the wives speaking to men of the family and defending their husband.

It was a rare sight in Kuru family.

"My mitr has no fault in it. Pitashree, can you please stop all of them from troubling my mitr? We need to welcome the newly wed brides in the family", Duryodhana said.

Shakuni smirked. He knew it was the correct time to speak. "How can they stop? My would to be king? Arjuna has so much of ego that he can't stand a girl rejecting him and choosing his enemy? Isn't it Kumar Arjun?" He asked.

Karna knew Shakuni was again playing mind games.

"Shut up, Gandhar Raj. I have no ego", Arjuna roared. "Oh really? Then why can't you accept this marriage? Putr Duryodhana, they just don't feel any of your friends to hold any importance in Hastinapura. They don't respect you", Shakuni said.

Karna glared at Shakuni. Duryodhana was very possessive over Karna and Shakuni was using it for his own advantage. What could be done with him?

"Is it so? You feel only your relations are important. You are always singing about dharm but you don't hesitate in making my friend feel inferior at any point of time", Duryodhana roared.

"Well, you are just blind enough to believe anything your mama says to you", Sahdev scolded Duryodhana.

"Don't you dare say that to me. Tell me if you really don't think of my mitr as inferior when in real, he's far better than you five all together. You are just your Sanyasi father's son. Who beg for rights", Duryodhana laughed.

All Kauravas laughed along with Shakuni.

Karna sighed. Everything escalates to war, automatically. He had no problem in raising his bow but he didn't want this scene to unfold in front of his wives who were looking at the scene worriedly.

"You are saying we beg rights? What about your so called mitr who got the throne in charity?" Arjun asked. Karna clenched his fists.

He lost it now.

"One who got everything on silver platter shouldn't really speak about rights and talent, Arjun", Karna said and pulled his wives making them stand with the women.

He came back, in front of Duryodhana, to protect him.

Arjuna and Karna glared at each other and Karna aimed his arrow at Arjuna as Arjuna aimed his arrow back. Karna's Kavach and Kundal appeared.

"Stop it" A voice cried.
