He came in his room. "Where are my wives?" He asked. The soldier was lost in Urvi. Karna gritted his teeth. "Where are my wives and stop staring at her. She's a princess", he said irritated. He was still solemn on the words of Urvi telling him to not forget his place.

What an arrogant girl!

"Oh sorry, Angraj. Your wives have gone to meet Mata Kunti and Gandhari. They had called them", he replied. Karna nodded and muttered a thank you again, going in the room. He lied Urvi on his bed and sat down on the couch, spreading out a map.

He was working on Anga and trying to understand the geography of the land for better development.

Meanwhile...

"Bhanje", Shakuni said and entered inside. Duryodhan had just finished the game with Bhanumati and now she had left for a stroll in the garden with Karna's wives. "Yes", Duryodhan said. "Come Mamashree", he said respectfully and Shakuni entered inside.

"Varnavrat is calling Pandu putras and Kunti", Shakuni smirked. "I will talk to father, today", Duryodhan said. "Make sure to tell him that's it's about Mahadev Puja. Nothing more should slip out of your mouth", Shakuni reminded him.

"Will take care", Duryodhana said. 

Here, Karna got over with his work and Urvi started stirring awake. She panicked seeing her surroundings. She sat up slowly.

Karna was looking at the map when he saw Urvi looking at him angrily and fearfully. He stood up and came closer. "Woke up?" Karna asked. "Nope. I am still sleeping", she said sarcastically.

"Mind your tongue, princess. This is not the way you should talk to anyone", Karna said, annoyed. "This is the only way, someone should talk with a kidnapper", Urvi said.

"You're still sour about it", Karna said. "Wait...", he said and raised his eyebrows. "You are here to take Bhanumati bhabhi back with you behind our backs and run away", Karna said. Urvi widened her eyes proving him correct.

"Cool", he chuckled. "However, you do know, she's married and won't come with you", Karna said. "Why? Who wouldn't want to leave a monster like Duryodhan?" Urvi asked. Karna frowned hearing it. "She was anyways going to choose the perfect man, Yudhister but you and your friend had to ruin it", Urvi hissed.

"Nobody is perfect in this world", Karna muttered. "And you shouldn't judge my mitr", he said sternly. "Judge? I am stating the facts", Urvi said. "Facts? Where's the prove?" Karna asked. "Those rumours that you hear. That's the problem. You only know what you hear and assume things. You haven't seen the side of him, hidden from this world", Karna said.

"Just let me meet Bhanumati and ensure she's ok. I will leave afterwards", Urvi said, irritated. "Actually, you can't leave till Kumar Duryodhan allows you to as you were intruding in his palace", Karna said.

"What? I am daughter of Kunti Mata's friend. I am friend of Pandavas", Urvi said, unbelievably. "It really doesn't matter as you are an intruder and the king has the right to decide for you", Karna said. "Duryodhan is not the king", Urvi replied. "But, his father is", Karna said.

"Whatever", Urvi huffed.

"Arya", he heard and turned around. The door opened and his three wives entered inside. "Urvi?" Supriya asked surprised. They came closer. "She was intruding in the palace. She intended to take Princess Bhanumati with her so I had to imprison her as per Duryodhan's demand", Karna replied.

"Arya, she's the Princess of Pukhya", Supriya said. "But, she didn't behave like a royal except her arrogant reminder for me to not forget my place", Karna said bitterly. Supriya was surprised. Urvi was a sweetheart by heart so why would she say this?

"Arya, she's not like this. She's a really sweet girl. Can you tell bhrata Duryodhan to not punish her?" Supriya asked. "Yes. I was about to... "

Urvi cut it off. "I don't need anyone's mercy. Especially their's", she said. Karna got really annoyed now. " Why are you always so angry? Don't say anything in front of Duryodhan", he said. "He's short tempered and he has no mercy at all", he continued.

"That's why he kidnapped Bhanumati", Urvi said. " No matter what, you can't abduct someone", she said further.

"I know that it's hard for you. Duryodhan won't like it but for your Satisfaction, I will call Bhabhi here. Please don't try anything otherwise he may take a strict step", Karna warned.

And, went to inform Bhanumati.

Meanwhile

" Varnavrat? Why?" Dhritarashtra asked. "Pitashree, the people there want the presence of kakishree who's like a mother to them", Duryodhan explained.

" And, Pandavas should also go with them. It won't be right to send her alone", Duryodhan said further.

Dhritarashtra went into deep thoughts. "You aren't planning anything, right?" He asked. "No", Duryodhan said quickly. "It's just that...your son can become the crown prince after that", Duryodhan said.

Dhritrashtra went into his blind love for his son and nodded instantly,

Unaware that this blind love will bring his doom.

In Panchal...

The situation was tensed. Everybody were fearful due to Drupad's anger. It was getting really hard to be safe in front of him.

Every sage who went for the yagya was imprisoned.

Sages were leaving the kingdom to avoid this. Soldiers were appointed to not let them leave and perform the yagya quickly.

Drupad was having high demands and Yagyas like these needed years. He wanted the result in a day. He was just not ready to understand how hard it was.

Hastinapura

Bhanumati was chatting with Urvi. Well...it was mostly assurance that she was fine after getting kidnapped.

Urvi was very angry and urging her to run. However, Bhanumati tried to console her and make her understand that it was not possible.

What happened at the end was, Urvi broke down crying. She realised that she was hoping for something that won't happen.

Dead end

"Urvi, I am alright", Bhanumati tried to convince her. " No. You are not. Why is it that we, girls should always be alright despite the situations and not be able to do what we want to do, what we desire to do?" Urvi asked.

Vrushali, Supriya and Kirti were taken aback by her outburst and stared at her guiltily.

"Why should women be dominated by men? Why is it ok for a princess to be kidnapped in a swayamvara? The term that literally means choosing your husband on your own? If they can't let anyone else marry that princess, they better wage a war or kidnap before hand", Urvi cried.

"Why do they need to kidnap from Swayamvar? It breaks my heart. We set dreams and aspirations. We desire for that one man and think of our future only to be kidnapped brutally by someone? Because we should have chosen him. Why? Why should we have chosen someone that we don't love?" Urvi asked and sobbed in pain.

Bhanumati stared at her silently. She had no answers to her questions. Honestly, even she was trying to find answers for it but she knew, she would never get them.

Unknown to them, Karna stood at the door listening to everything.
