Chapter 71 71. Mistake Of Surya



Surya was stunned not knowing how to react to this, He was feeling mixed emotions all over making him confused.

They were proud of Karna for daring to fight for his mother's honour, He was also happy that Karna was defending his mother Radha like this meant he did not make the wrong choice to send him here but also felt sad as he remembered what happened when his son gives him that look to him, He yet to made up with Shani.

And he also felt angry, In both situations, he was not in the wrong and looking after them and yet they Shani and now Karna had misunderstood his action as hostile towards their mother. It's too unfair.

"No Putra you are misunderstanding, Arya not disrespecting your mother, Disrespecting someone as holy and revered as mother is a sin, He was just concerned about you."

"Yes, Also why did you not eat? Why are you this hungry? Is there a problem at home? Is it about money? She treats you fairly, right?"

Surya was not in a condition to reply as he was contemplating his decision which led him here. Why were his sons being turned against him? There has to be a reason as it would have happened a second time if he was not in disguised form.

So his wives took a lead as they in concern hurriedly explained the side of Surya and then could not control their worry asking Karna numerous questions without taking a break as afraid they would not get to ask later.

Both Sandhya and Chhaya wanted to know the answer about this, Though they could have used their Divine eyes for it but knowing their husband was not able to see Karna with his Divine eyes, They did not waste their time and straight up asked Karna.

"O'Great Sage forgive me for my rudeness, I know you are looking after me but I could not bear someone disrespectful towards my Mata, I hope to seek your forgiveness.

Mata's, I've been busy learning how to weave all night at a friend's workshop, So I haven't eaten anything since last night. I know if Radha maa (Mother) l, My mother knows this, She would be too worried about me, So I brought the Sari made for Queen Gandhari and then to eat here.

But things happen which lead me to use manpower that makes me even more hungry. Normally because of Great Queen Gandhari's order, I should have been served by now but one thing led to another which delayed the serving.

Since birth I have had an unreasonable hunger, I always feel hungry but fearing to burden others, I only eat enough to keep that hunger under control. It's just last night I was too lost in learning that I forgot about my hunger which led to it becoming uncontrollable.

I once again seek forgiveness from the revered Sage, I didn't mean to be disrespectful towards you, I just could not control my hunger seeing food in front of me."

Karna this time did not pull any stunt, He kneeled on the ground and said everything truthfully to them, He loved to have fun around but at the expense of others, Gandhari kneeled on the ground because of him.

Though kneeling in front of revered Sage like this is not a bit of humiliating or disrespectful but still feels bad she had to do this because of him.

Gandhari at this point had gotten permission to stand up, She was shocked to see Karna the one who didn't even fear a bit in front of a mighty warrior like Bhishama now kneeling down.

But then she understood he was doing this for her, If Sage get angry now he would target his anger towards Karna, not her.

'This guy is also not ungrateful, I should hurry to talk to Arya about tying the knot between these two before others come.'

Gandhari felt happy, There was still worry in her heart for him but she knows ignorance can't be punished, So Karna would walk free with just a slap on his wrist and nothing more, Especially after hearing his reason.

She was more impressed by the fact he can put his pride aside for others, This is the reason was enough for her to decide he will be her son-in-law because he will keep her daughter happy.

Before she was slightly hesitant to marry her daughter off not just to him but to anyone as she knows what one can do to keep their hypocritical pride, And then seeing Karna's power it made her feel like he will also be the same.

But now seeing how easily he can put his pride aside to stand by someone who stood up for him, She decides he will be the one. Her daughter would not suffer because of things like pride as she did, Her daughter would be happy with him, Really happy.

Duryodhana, Vikrama, Sushasana and Eklavaya were also surprised by this, The respect in their heart for Karna increased even more seeing this but also felt sad hearing his reason.

"So you are always hungry? Why? I understand at home you don't want your mother to suffer but here are royal cooks who would cook for you without complaints then why not eat here stomach full? This kingdom can afford it even if you ate here all your life."I think you should take a look at

Sandhya said with concern and pain on her face that she did not bother to hide. All she heard was that her son was being hungry all this time. She felt like someone stabbed her in the heart with a blunt knife and felt like crying having him in her arm.

But because of their cursed fate, she can't even hug her son to confront him. For a moment resentment buried deep in her heart towards Chhaya arose, making her angry but then Sandhya stopped as she knew she too was equally at fault. She can't be too unreasonable because of her grief.

Chhaya's head was down in guilt fighting back the tears which were daring to sully her eyes, She can only blame her and her twisted fate. She had given the way out to relive this curse and that too was too easy one but look at it now.

Now only the way she was given at that time did not take that curse away but rather made Karna suffer more. It would be good if they raised him under criticism rather than now that he can't even get a stomach full of food.

"Yes I am always hungry, I just eat enough to control it. Yes Queen did not mind even If I ate here all my life, She rather would be happy and Yes big kingdom like this of course not care the tiny amount they spend on me.

But for a stomach full I need food around 10,000 people's equivalent in one sitting, So three times a day would be like making food for 30,000 people that too just for me.

There is still Bheema and other royal members. They would cook for me but I can't put those cooks under that much work just for my own satisfaction. Anyway, I am used to bearing my hunger, So this is not a big deal for me."

Karna was still kneeling on the ground bowing towards them as he answered questions of Sandhya with his sweet addicting voice.

He did not lie, His body made him 10,000 times stronger than before but because of that he also needed 10,000 times more food as that is his new normal but he really did not want to put anyone through cooking 30,000 people worth of food every day just for him, He just did not feel right about it.

He used to be hungry for days in his last life, So he knows the value of food. In his eyes that is a waste of food as he is just eating it to his satisfaction not for his needs as he can work normally even with 10 people worth of food, Rest if it is handled by his earrings.

*Swizzz*

Chhaya wanted to say something but no words came out of her mouth as she was so guilt-ridden that she could not speak. It was Surya hearing the words of his son truly understanding what his son was talking about as he knows the existence of Karna's Sovereign Physique.

Because of a lack of Yagic power and not getting the Divine power as a supplement from them, His body tries to replenish energy from the food, Which is the reason for his immense hunger.

So Surya, without thinking about the consequences of his actions, closed his eyes and chanted an unrecognizable mantra using his divine power and the next moment a bright light flashed in front of everyone as the light faded. A copper vessel appeared in the middle of the room covered in an unknown brilliance.

Everyone looked at the vessel in awe as it had some weird attractiveness to it, Surya was not in a condition to think about what he was doing, All he know was he was a bad father for not realising this sooner.

"Take this, You never have to be hungry from now on."

He just picked the vessel and handed it to Karna and as he put it in his hand reality hit him as he realised what he just did.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for the first stealing the opportunity of the Sons of Fortune…

Congratulations to the host for unlocking the system Inventory….]

(A/N : You all know what that is but still have any idea what that copper vessel is? 

Also, the story would start to take speed as now system inventory is open, And so the proper introduction of those 4 monsters and others will come with new characters.

Like always thank you for reading and have a good day ?.)
