Karna smiled as he remembered the promise, he gave to Urvi.

His wives were quite excited to go with him and Vrishali was curious but she was getting filled in by her Co wives about how it was so fun to be around to Urvi.

Digvija was staying there to train the soldiers for the upcoming war, along with Duryodhan, who was now fine with her.

Vasudha was also not going as she felt really weird in accompanying 'royals' and so, she decided to take part in the veneration of Lord Shiva along with Queen Gandhari and mata Kunti.

Karna turned around as he heard giggles and sounds of anklets.

(Same outfit, different colours)

His wives preferred to be quite simple, rather than lad with jewelleries which he liked.

"Arya!" He smiled seeing them so happy and hummed softly. They came closer to him and he took his bow and filled his quiver with arrows.

"Should we go?" He asked smiling and they nodded.

They went outside and Karna received a big hug from Duryodhan. "All the best", Duryodhan whispered smiling and Karna nodded.

Karna was not getting accompanied by Duryodhan as Duryodhan declared that Urvi hated him after Varnavrat incident so he won't like to ruin anything and Karna should go alone.

Karna protested but Duryodhan was adamant so Karna had to give up.

Karna smiled seeing Kunti.

"All the best", she wished as he approached her and it made him grin big.

"Thank you, mata", Karna said, smiling.

His wives came behind him and took her blessings as well. Kunti smiling, blessed them. She was feeling so emotional seeing her eldest son, so happy and with so amazing wives.

"I bid you farewell", Karna said.

Kunti nodded at him and then he went along with his wives, going downstairs, he stepped on his chariot and his wives sat in their palanquins.

They began their journey towards Pukhya.

Karna felt someone's gaze as they crossed the river. He shook his head and went forward. Unaware, that what storm awaited him next.

After a while, they reached the forest. There was an eerie silence in the forest.

Something was terrifically wrong.

Pukhya

"Maharani", said the soldier approaching her. "The work is done. Angraj won't ever reach here to marry the princess", he said.

The Queen smirked.

"Make sure that the Khasi tribe stops him and makes him hostage till my daughter's marriage. After that, they can leave him", The Queen said.

"As you say, Queen", soldier said and went.

"Now, let's see, Angraj. How will you marry my daughter? You need to be reminded that you are just dust and my daughter isn't someone, you deserve to have. In this friendship, you have forgotten your caste and seeing dreams. Other royals might be stupid to marry their girls to you, I am not. I will teach you a lesson", she laughed.

Forest

"Angraj", Karna heard and they turned around to see Vasudha. She was panting heavily.

"How can you run all the way till here?" Karna asked her, quite shocked. The distance between Hastinapura and this Kingdom was so huge. Ok...not that much but still...it was not at all, one, to be covered by walk.

"No...I didn't travel all the way here. I came with the horse and a soldier. He went dropping me here, as per Rajkumar's order. I came to inform you that the Khasi tribe is here and they have challenged to capture you and Queens and hold them hostage till night", Vasudha said.

Karna's eyes widened. "What?" He asked her.

Instantly, a net came out of no where and fell on Vasudha. She cried in fear and Karna rushed towards her but many tribals came out. He turned around to see that they had taken everyone at sword's point and women had held the Queens as they looked in fear.

Karna clenched his fists. "Do you know who we are?" He asked coldly.

They laughed. "We won't let you go from here", said one tribal man. One glare from Karna and they stopped laughing. They still held all hostage.

Karna knew that one mistake and all soldiers and maids, his wives and Vasudha may end up loosing lives. So, he decided to surrender. They were too many to fight and even if he could, apart from soldiers, the lives of the maids were also at stake along with the Queens and a citizen, Vasudha.

"Fine. I surrender", he said. They smirked.

While, he started thinking of how to make sure, all are safe and fight these tribals.

They took him in their settlement and the soldiers and maids were tied by ropes. Karna, his wives and Vasudha were left open but the soldiers had pointed weapons at them. Many archers were targeting from Upper booths.

"What do you need?" Karna asked harshly. He was getting late for Urvi's swayamvar. He didn't want to loose her at any cost, especially when she also wanted to marry him.

"Pranipat Angraj", They heard.

He turned around with a puzzled and irritated look and saw a girl.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"I am the Princess of Khasi tribe, Khyati", She introduced herself.

"Why have you held us, hostage?" Karna demanded. He was glaring at all of them. His wives were looking around scared and Vasudha was in deep thinking.

"Sorry...but has the Queen of Pukhya told you to capture us?" Vasudha asked.

"What?!" Karna screeched. "What are you saying, Vasudha?" He asked with big eyes.

"Yes. She's correct", Khyati said. Karna turned to look at her. "The Queen told us to stop you till night as she doesn't want her daughter to marry a low born and live their lifestyle. She wants Urvi to live happily like she always has. And, to do it, she had to stop you so that Urvi can garland someone else, most probably, Arjun as Maharani Kunti and Pukhya Queen have always dreamt of".

Karna was shocked hearing everything.

"I have seen sometimes how Pukhya Queen glares at you and looks at Prince Arjuna. I have heard her shipping her daughter with Kumar Arjuna. So, I took a wild guess but it turned out to be real", Vasudha said.

"This is true. Pukhya Queen always wanted Urvi marrying Kumar Arjun. She even hated when Urvi talked to me", Supriya said.

Karna's anger knew no bounds.

He kicked on the ground with all his strength and anger. The people stumbled.

"I am already on edge. If you don't want to loose your lives, stop holding us hostage", Karna growled and it was so terrific that all dropped their weapons.

"Hold them in place", Khyati snarled.

"I am not getting scared of you", she snapped. She didn't want her people to get in the bad books of Pukhya Queen. She was terrible in case of her daughter.

Karna hissed in frustration and scowled.

"Ok, then. You forced me", he said.

He took his sword in an instant and attacked the men holding them hostage. The weapons fell and they got injured.

It was so fast that nobody could register it.

He chanted a mantra as he targeted an arrow in the sky and shot it. While, the archers had targeted arrows at them and they came in high speed as his wives and Vasudha shrieked but Karna countered them with his sword and some hit him, however his armour appeared, making every attempt to hurt him, futile.

The arrows returned like rain and injured those archers, throwing their bows on the ground.

Khyati had gotten pale seeing it.

His wives rushed to free the soldiers and maids and Karna used another arrow that instantly fainted all tribal men. Except two or three, who came there just at the moment.

He looked at the sky and knew he had to rush. He had hopes that Urvi would be waiting even though much time had passed.

He glared at Khyati and used another arrow. It turned into a rope but some kind of current was visible. Which meant that anyone who tried to touch the rope would be electrified instantly.

"I am taking your princess. I will deal with you all, later", he said and indicated her to come forward.

She didn't and he glared again.

She came forward and he helped her climb the chariot. The current effect didn't do anything to him as he was the one who shot the arrow.

His wives sat in palanquins.

Vrishali pulled Vasudha with her, in her palanquin and the soldiers raised the palanquins up and they moved forward.

Karna would now show the Queen, what's he capable off.
