In the shadow of a legendary feud, where ancient rivalries simmer, a hidden truth awaits. Beneath the surface of animosity and pride, a tangles web of emotions threatens to upend the fate of sworn enemies.
As the winds of destiny sweep them towards...
By the time of sunset, every guest started leaving before getting gifts from Hastinapur for those Rajyas who participated in the Swayamvar.
"let's meet some day again, Angraj"
Karna hears as he nodded lightly before looking around to find the chariots of many Rajyas, filled with gifts are leaving before his eyes caught Panchala Rajkumar Drishtadyumn, talking with duryodhana and Vikarna, close as it is sister's family now.
Wandering his eyes more, he caught the figure of the person behind Drishtadyumn, who came with him as karna found himself looking into the same eyes that once captivated, always has been.
Karna is not a type of person who cares about love, marriage or anything nor he has interest in any girl. His only goal is to survive here, not live cause living does not give suffering but he has been suffering from childhood yet he is standing here, means he has been surviving, maybe always will be even but he never thought that one rainy day would change all this.
He always thought that a person can suffer, lose, defeat but stays alive or either die but he never thought a person can stay alive while being dead inside and if it was not the first time he felt his soul being attracted towards those dead yet fierced eyes that burns everything on its way.
FLASHBACK
"Don't know if I should praise him or slap him but I am really going to kill him if he again listened to his that so called mamashree"
The King of Anga mutters under his breath as he ride on his white buddy horse named ashwa, inside the dense forest, on the way to Chedi.
Deciding to take a break since the dark clouds are the area, making the weather rainy as he sat down under the tree beside his horse. It was all silent and calm making karna feel sleepy too, so he decided to take a nap only to open his eyes, startled and alerted by a loud crashing sound, followed by the screams of people.
Recognising, from where the sound is coming, karna immediately ran there only to find bunch of traders with their family have their chariot upside down as the parents are hugging children protectively before he look at his left, finding assassin after assassin dead on the ground, piled up together.
[CRACK]
A new sound took his attention as he walk a little forward only for the rain to start before he again look at front, getting surprised when he watch the sword effortlessly swinging, cutting through the rain as it writes the death notes of assassins and what more shocking is that it is a lady in plain white nauvari styled saree with orange kayabandhi, who is fighting against these assassins.
At first, karna got worried thinking if the lady is with one of these victims and is trying to protect that's why she is using sword but No! The way, the sword effortlessly swingingly pierce through the assassins with the lady barely moving much, shows that she is trained in this.
The rain didn't got her attention as she kills assassins after assassins only stopping when the ground was fully covered in assassins blood. It is surprising how she didn't kept a single assassin alive for interrogation instead, killed everyone, either in blood lust or-

Karna found himself being punched on lungs as he look into those carob colour eyes that are...............dead. No, they aren't alive, they have no emotions, no spark, no sign of soul, completely hollow and dark as if they are dead but when she glanced at the assassin, there was a glint of fiery for a moment before they vanish when she look at front.

The lady came forward, all neutral to killing she just did as she walk forward. She came forward, near karna only to walk past him towards the white with grey spot horse, must be her as she jump on it, leaving from there without talking to the victims she helped nor even looking around to anyone.
It is as if she had this work to complete and she did it without any thought. She doesn't look like royal from clothing but she is a royal and karna is sure of it cause of quality of clothes, they are royal silk cloth with real silver jewellery, even her sword cover has real gold design on it. She is a royal but she doesn't live like one.
Karna has never found himself getting this much inquisitive after about Anga and then Gandhar as much as he found himself getting curious towards that lady.
He wants to know about her more but that work is for some time later, for now, he already has work to find about chedi's connection with Gandhar and if he is partnered with Gandhar Raj too.
Turning around, karna walk towards his horse who has woken up from his nap as he look for karna, immediately perking up when karna came forward towards him before they both left when the rain slowed down.
FLASHBACK END
Karna never thought he would found himself looking into those eyes again beside he was right about her being royal and now that he know from which Rajya she belongs, he can easily found about her but his work of Gandhar is still pending and that work is more important right now.
"Hey!"
Karna hear a yell from beside him as he look at his right, finding it is dushasana who tried to jumpscare him but it didn't worked instead dushasana's yell soon took attention of people around when karna pinched his ear while pulling. Luckily the guests left otherwise dushasana's image.................
"you might be the eldest of 99 brothers but don't forgot I am elder than you" Karna says pulling dushasana's ear more as dushasana nodded while muttering "oww....OK - OK......that hurts"
Rubbing his red ear, dushasana glared at karna but more than glare it looks like as if a child is sulking which karna thought even while ignoring dushasana before ashwatthama came there.
"I will take my leave now" Ashwatthama says to which dushasana frowned lightly at him while duryodhana insist saying he should stay for a while more but ashwatthama shook his head saying "I have work before going to Panchala" making duryodhana nod, agreeing as ashwatthama lightly nodded towards karna who also nodded back before ashwatthama left from there.
"I should also go back now"
"you can't, you still have work here" Duryodhana says making karna frown as he asks "now what?" to which duryodhana tell him follow him which karna did, muttering "you seriously can't leave me"
"by the way where is ashwatthama going?" Duryodhana asked to which karna reply "to conquer more power"
