(Princess of Salva Kingdom)

(Outfit)

Karna and Duryodhan reached the Salva Kingdom, in disguise of normal people.

"This is the same kingdom where once king Shalva lived and he so cowardly rejected lady Amba", Duryodhan said.

"Any man would have done the same because the male ego is so big. This society needs to be cleaned", Karna said and they walked inside.

"Pitahmah was so great wasn't he? Ruined a girl's life", Duryodhan said.

Karna chuckled. "Only if pitahmah could understand these things and not value his oath this much", Karna said sighing.

"Now how to get till her?" Karna wondered out loud.

"Move aside. The princess is coming", soldiers said and people gave way for the palanquin to move. She waved at everyone and smiled but it didn't reach her eyes.

Karna smiled softly. He will make sure her smile reaches her eyes. "Where's she going?" Karna asked.

A man heard them. "You live here only right? Princess Savya daily goes in the temple to pray for everyone", the man said and went.

Karna and Duryodhan looked amused at his way. Anyways, they got what they needed.

"I will free her family. You go and get the princess", Duryodhan said.

Karna looked at him seriously. "I am not letting you fight dozens of soldiers alone", he said.

"I'll be ok Karna. This is the only way. Please understand", Duryodhan said and smiled.

Karna cared for him so much.

Karna nodded hesitantly and went towards the temple while Duryodhan went to the kingdom.

Karna went towards the temple and went upstairs. He heard sounds so hid behind a pillar and looked outside. Crowds of armies were standing there guiding the gates so that the princess didn't escape.

Karna glared at them and moved inside. He saw Savya's back towards her as she cried.

"Please send Angraj, Mata", she cried.

Karna smiled lightly. "Savya", he called out gently and she stopped crying. She stood up and turned around. She gasped seeing him standing in front of her.

"A-angraj", she said in a croaked voice. Was it really him?

She walked closer and felt that brightness radiating from him. She gulped. Karna smiled at her fear and hesitation. He took out his sword and attacked himself as she looked horrified.

His divine kawach and kundal appeared protecting him and she smiled and cried together.

"You came", she said as he kept back his sword. He smiled. She hugged him crying in his arms and he caressed her hair.

"It's ok. I am here now", he told her softly.

"My family...?" She asked in fear.

Karna smiled. "Duryodhan is there. He will take them out. Don't worry", Karna said and Savya nodded.

"How will we escape?" Savya asked.

"There's no way. I need to fight them", Karna said and Savya looked horrified hearing it.

"They are so many and you are alone. How will you fight them?" She asked.

"There's no other way. I have to fight them. Don't worry. I will not let you live here. I will take you", Karna said.

He offered his hand and Savya held it. He took her out. "Here is your princess and I am here to take her. Stop me if you can", Karna said.

The soldier's rushed to attack him. Karna started shooting arrows that multiplied and randomly hit the men, killing many of them.

"Stay here", he said to her and kept shooting arrows. When they approached him, he took out his sword and started fighting them, going on like a killing machine.

Savya was amazed seeing his skills. He killed many alone.

She saw a chariot coming with her family on it. She grinned. Karna kept fighting on with the soldiers and Duryodhan joined him. They ended up killing the soldiers and many of them ran away.

"I killed her uncle. Her family is safe now. They came to bid farewell to Savya", Duryodhan said.

Karna smiled and nodded.

"Thank you so much for saving us, Angraj", the queen said. Karna smiled.

"It's my duty", he said.

" We are sure, our daughter will live happily as your wife. Kindly marry us in front of us only", the king said.

Duryodhan cheered.

Karna and Savya got married to each other in the temple and they bid farewell to her family.

Karna helped her on the chariot and the trio set out for Anga. "Will my cowives accept me, Arya?" Savya asked in worry.

Karna smiled. "Of course they would. In fact they will be much happier", Karna assured her.

Savya nodded but she was still tensed.

They reached Anga in the evening and the arrival of their announcement was announced.

Karna looked confused seeing another chariot and he shared a confused glance with Duryodhan. They climbed upstairs and Karna saw Abhilasha with three other girls.

"Arya, meet them", Abhilasha said rushing in his arms. Karna kissed her hair as his other hand held Savya's hand.

"Welcome", Abhilasha giggled and did Savya's aarti. Esha smiled as she came in Karna's view and Karna smiled as well. He raised an eyebrow and signalled towards the three girls, asking who they were.

Esha signalled him to wait and took Savya to meet the other queens while Abhilasha stood with Karna.

"They are our sisters. Tatshree's daughters", Abhilasha said.

Since when King Drupad had a sinking?

Abhilasha guessed his confusion. "I mean a trusted official whom pitashree considers his brother", Abhilasha said.

Karna nodded. "Pranaam", he said to the three girls and folded his hands in greetings.

The three did the same, "pranaam", they said.

"Pitashree is waiting in the guest chamber. He wants to meet you", Abhilasha said softly.

Duryodhan and Karna exchanged confused glances. Karna nodded. "Ok. Go in the common chamber", Karna said to her.

"Ok. The three will accompany you", Karna got confused again. "He wants to talk in front of the three", Abhilasha said.

Karna walked ahead with the three.

But he stopped and widened his eyes, when he saw literally two Arundhatis in same outfit, approaching him.

Oh god! Why?
