I Become Karna With a Million Times Crit System In Mahabharata.

Chapter 121  120. Vaibhav's Motto

Adiratha and others now see the other side of the problem here as they fell into a deep thinking about this issue.

Even Aduratha who is a man of principle, Not wanting to bend his way was second doubting himself.

If it was something else he might not have given it a second thought, For him principles are take top priority but this is related to his son Karna, So he was hesitant, He can't do anything that might hurt his son.

It's just because of this is for Karna, He had to make sure of the pros and cons before deciding anything about this yet.

"But Vaibhav didn't this make Karna the enemy of the world, Especially those kings who wanted to marry the princess for the favour of Hastinapur?"

So Adiratha asked one of his concerns, Yes , marrying princess Karna will get the full support of Hastinapur, There is no doubt about it.

But also marrying princess will going to cause lot of trouble for him, Not only the pride of those kings will be hurt but also going to felt insulted that the princess chose Son Of Suta over them, This definitely makes them target Karna as they don't have guts to attack Hastinapur.

"Yes he will create new enemies but he will going to have the whole power of Hastinapur to take care of them, And marrying a princess or not, Karna will still be surrounded by enemies who do not have anything to fear Karna.

So why not as the price of creating new enemies gets a strong backer like Hastinapur on his side? I see no negative things in this but only the positive thing."

Vaibhav was being the voice of reason here to open the eyes of his friend, Yeah Karna will be targeted by others but he still was going to be targeted for being a king.

There is nothing you can do that will not going to offend others, So why not just do what is good for ourselves?

That is his motto he often uses doing business, There many such people who do not like him doing business with other kingdoms either because of foreign policy or because they did not want to see him getting their share of the market.

Either the case, Vaibhav don't care because of he is afraid of offending others, We would not have created this business empire spread across Aryavart.

"That…"

"I think we should agree with this marriage, Arya."

Adiratha was speechless, he couldn't argue this point of Vaibhav. Radha on the other hand already decided to support this marriage, Though unlike Adiratha she knows Karna can't be harmed but what if he gets harmed by divine weapons? What if there is something that can hurt him?

She did not like those If's, All she wanted was for her son to be protected all the time. If marriage with a princess can give him that then be it.

Innocent she does not know that she can indeed prevent outside trouble for Karna, But what about internal ones? Her doing this was going to flame the fire which was already there.

Where do you ask? That is in the eyes of that little innocent girl all of them ignored, The one who right now wants to burn down everything in her sight, Only her remaining sanity stopping her from doing so.

But we come to that later, First focus in this discussion.

"Vaibhav, let's say I agree to this marriage. Do you think anyone will take it lightly that the princess will be 2nd wife and has to under a commoner girl?

Tell me, do you have any solution for it? What should we do here? After all that girl is your daughter."

This time Adiratha gave them one more reason why this is not the right idea. They already decided that Vrushali will be the wife of Karna and if they accept the royal offer then Princess Sushala will be 2nd wife of Karna.

He is not that learned man but he knows no women like to be the 2nd choice especially a royal princess, That too if the first one is just a commoner girl.

"....."

Now it was their turn to be silent, Vaibhav finally realised that he just fixed the marriage of his daughter with Karna, the same boy he was fighting his friend to let marry a princess.

He was shocked to his core. He didn't understand how he could forget about this? He just fixed the marriage, So how come he did this? He was in unbelief.

Same is for Madu, She too just remembers about this, And has now fallen in contemplating about what to do as the point raised by her husband before still stands.

If Karna did not marry princess then as said by her husband, The king Of Magadh will definitely attack Karna as soon as Karna take the throne from the hands of Hastinapur.

And seeing Karna is just normal boy, He have a high chance of getting killed. She really didn't want her daughter to be a widow as soon as she gets married.

But if Karna did marry the princess then that princess has to be the first wife, Means her daughter has to take the position of 2nd wife even if she was the one who come first here.

Now Madu does not understand what to do, Though by logic Karna marrying princess is the best option there is but from an emotional standpoint, She doesn't want her daughter to be 2md wife.

And so Madu didn't bother to make decisions in this, Let her husband decide as she really can't choose between these two options.

Vaibhav here still does not understand what to do. He too gets it. There is only one option here even if it looks like they have two but as a father he really could not choose at all.

He knows what is the right choice but that choice will take away his daughter's rights, Which he did not agree upon.

"*Sigh* How about this? We went outside and said this to the King and Queen, Let them decide?"

Adiratha seeing the faces of the two could not help but sigh, He was not a fool, He also got an idea that this marriage is the best solution for Karna's trouble but for the sake of an amicable atmosphere between them, He decided a lot to agree right away.

He first wanted a seat and talk this out with Vaibhava and then decided what to do but to his shock, Vaibhava might have forgotten he was the father of daughter Adiratha's family just accepted as Daughter-In-Law.

And to be honest, Adiratha was affected by the words of Vaibhav wanted to marry his son.

But seeing the face of his friend and sister-in-law, He decides not now. He didn't think this deeply, So he was very hesitant to reject this offer even though it is highly mysterious why royalty suddenly wanted to marry his son.

But seeing the face of his friend and sister-in-law, He decides not to be hard on them to make this decision. It's better if someone else makes this choice as it will not create enmity between them.

So he decided the King and Queen would be best to give their verdict on this. Anyway, they have to be honest with them before they move forward with this decision.

"You are right, Mitra, Let the king decide about this."

"Right brother Adiratha, Let the king decide this one."

Both Vaibhava and Madu felt like a huge weight lifted from their shoulders. They really didn't want to choose in between this as they did not want to live their whole life thinking what if they chose another thing.

They know what the king will choose, The choice here is so obvious that even a  blind man can see it, No pun intended.

But this way at least they can live in the solace of it was not them who made this decision for their daughter, Anway now that they think about it, Their daughter still be queen just have slightly lower status then the main one.

And so everyone got out of the kitchen and headed toward the main hall to talk things out with King except one, Vrushali. She stood there with the flames of jealousy burning to the fullest in her eyes.

…..

"O'Great King and O'Respected Queen we have to tell you that…

that- "

"That you already fixed the marriage with the daughter of this gentleman here and now want us to decide on what to do, right?"

Adiratha stood in front of both the King and Queen and spoke up hesitantly but his words were cut off by the king and were complete what he wanted or asked. This surprised everyone present a lot.

"Lord how?"

"Hey, I am blind not deaf. Did you forget how sharp my ears are? And also Your thin walls did not help you in it."

Dhritarashtra laughed as he revealed how he know about this along with Gandharo who heard their conversation as the walls were indeed quite thin and their excited voice not helped at all.

This eased down the atmosphere a little but deep down everyone was tense as what verdict king will give, Though there is rough estimate but it still a mystery till not revealed.
