Chapter 116 115. Banter Between Friends



"Spill it, How do you do it? Not only does Mahamahim not notice you but I am also able to hear his thoughts, And how he does not see us? We were standing right in front of him, and he called me a troublemaker. That is blasphemy, since when did I cause trouble? I am a peace-loving boy."

Karna after seeing Bhishma gone, Picked a white fox by her nape and held the front of him asking her questions. She might not going to understand his words but she damn well feels his emotions.

*Lick*

So Fox did what she always does when confronted by Karna, She licked his face and gave him an innocent look as if saying that she didn't know a thing.

But Karna here might have figured it out, After all, he has a functional working brain, So he put her back on his shoulder and seat under the tree to think through his conclusion.

"Definitely Inherent Magical power said by the system, But I didn't expect they will come this soon, Anyway now I have a fox that can cloak my presence, And it even works on Maharathi warriors, So definitely not weak magical power."

When Karna sat down, Fox sneaked her way through in his lap, So while Karna was thinking about it, She as instinct rubbed her white furry back and her nine tails.

Come to think about it, no one noticed because she didn't want them to notice them. Nice move on her part but this also says that she awakened her magical powers since yesterday.

"I should give you a name soon, Calling you White Fox not working out."

Karna was overjoyed but didn't celebrate it yet. He needs to know the limit of her power, The strengths and weaknesses before he decides to use it on any others, So for now it's not usable.

But now that she is growing up, Karna has to give her a good proper name. She definitely did not like being called White Fox all the time, The reason why was that she was hitting every time he called her that.

Of course, there is no force behind it as she learned her lesson about what happens if she uses force to bite him.

Now Karna decided to go to those four monsters and ask them for the suggestion for a name for this fox. They should be good at names.

And so Karna decided to go meet them now because he for some reason didn't want to go home right now, He was having a weird feeling, Which he decided because he was anxious about what those 4 upto.

The only consolation for him right now was that the Village was still there, It was not burning right now. Those four are that chaotic if not monitored, So While thinking of this, Karna made his way towards their usual meeting place, near the shore of river Ganga.

…..

"Oh my dear Mitra, Vaibhav (Prosperity), It's been too long since we meet each other."

In Adhiratha's house, The father of Karna was quite delighted as he welcomed his childhood friend Vaibhav.

Both of them were inseparable in childhood and learned under the same teacher about how to take care of horses and maintenance of chariots and such and so their friendship deepened even more there.

But after they get married they become busy taking care of their businesses, Adiratha becomes the royal chariot of Prince Dhritarashtra and Vaibhav also starts his own workshop for building and selling horses to the royal court of Hastinapur and other royalties.

It can be said that both of them found tremendous success in their own field, Adiratha now became head of all royal chariots and Vaibhav like his name, became so successful in his business that he spread his business to other kingdoms.

Now both have a small fortune of their own but this prosperity didn't blind them from what is also important things to them, Their friendship.

Like now it was not the head of the royal chariots meeting the big chariot businessman but one friend meeting another who were together with them on their journey.

"It's been a really long time. Forgive me Mitra, I was not able to come to congratulate you in person after hearing you finally got blessed by Lord Suya and got a gift of a son."

Vaibhav also tightly hugged his friend and asked for forgiveness. He did hear that his friend finally became a father but he was out of the kingdom on a business trip at that time, So he wasn't able to come and congratulate him.

"No worry, You send a chariot as a gift. That is enough. Now that this subject has come up, I also ask for forgiveness for not being able to come to the celebration of your first and only daughter.

That whole week I was appointed to take care of horses and maintain their hooves. Though I was not the one who had to do it, I had to make sure those people were doing the right job and not hurting horses."

Both of them break their hug, both of them overwhelmed with emotion and nostalgia, Adiratha also apologises as he too could not make it to the celebration of Vaibhav's first daughter.I think you should take a look at

Vaibhav does have older sons from his wives but he never had a daughter until then, She is the first daughter in their 5 generations, So of course she is being spoiled by everyone.nov?/?\o/?

She is now considered as the Laxmi (Goddess of Wealth) of the family as since her birth their business has increased nearly 4 fold, Which only increased the importance of her and love for her family even more than it already was.

"Don't worry about it, You also send very good and healthy poney for her. It's just like always you have forgotten Mitra that horses take only 5-7 years to become adults.

Tell me how can a 7-year-old daughter of mine be able to ride a full-grown horse?"

Vaibhav after the emotional talk also forgives Adhiratha for not coming to his daughter's celebration, But they are friends, No they are best friends so of course they can't sit for a while without a strong urge to fight each other.

Which started by Vainhava, He did have a point in his argument though, If Adiratha gave horse for his daughter then how she can use that horse as when she was old enough to learn which is the age of 7, The horse will not stay money and would have become an adult big horse.

Not only that, Because Adiratha really sends horses with the best genetics which are specially bred for their speed and endurance. Now the pony that Adiratha sent was nearly taller than his 7-years old daughter.

How will she be able to ride that war horse now? There is no way.

"Hey, How can that be my fault? My son started riding a horse when he was 4, Not for his mother knowing about it, He right now should have been riding his horse in this village.

Also, you send a chariot to me."

Adhiratha understands he made a mistake but how can he accept his mistake? They don't do that here, So he doubles it down and even says it is Vaibhav's fault.

"So? What's wrong with sending a chariot?"

Vaibhav obviously also does not believe in backing down policy and so he joins Adiratha to create trouble.

"You send me a chariot, Just a chariot. Where were the horses, Vaibhav? How can you give a chariot without horses? I am still curious how your people brought that here."

Adhiratha finally reveals what is wrong with giving a chariot, Vaibhav only gives him a chariot without horses.

It's not Adiratha being petty about horses, It's just that chariots are made with the breed of horse in their mind, You can't just put any horse in front of it and call it a day.

That is only going to slow down the chariot and make it uncomfortable to sit in it but it also it's not also quite uncomfortable and painful for horses, So Adiratha had to find out which breed of horse this chariot was made for.

And to his frustration, This chariot was made for horses that were used by royalties for race and not war, Which in itself was a struggle to get it as most of those horses were already appointed to others in his stable.

But it was not over there. When he found four horses that were not being used, it turned out this was made for royal horses of other kingdoms and not this, Though both kingdoms have similar horses but there is slight height difference, Which means Hastinapur horses were not suitable here.

And so, Adiratha had to use his connection to get his hands on other kingdoms' horses for 4 times the price in which he can create the whole chariot with its horses here.

But this was a gift given to him by his friend and so he spent the extra money to get it done, Now though Karna did know about this chariot, Adiratha had not given it to him as Karna had yet to learn horse riding properly not to mention he knows nothing about driving a chariot.

"*Ahem* Well my people might have misunderstood my intentions, But still-"

"Stop your bantering Arya, We didn't come here for your banter did we?"

Vaibhava wanted to argue but his wife Madu came out of the kitchen and finally stopped the banter between these old friends. These two anytime they meet always fight like this for fun.

Which is normally ignored by their significant others but today Madu can't allow it as this is a special day.

(A/N : I am feeling a little better. From tomorrow 2 chapters a day like before.

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