But Karna knew that beneath the grandeur lay a web of complex politics and alliances, and it was these intricacies that he would have to navigate during his diplomatic mission.
Upon arriving at the city gates, Karna descended his chariot, dismissing it temporarily to be safely stored. He could sense the eyes of the city's guards upon him, and it was clear that his arrival had not gone unnoticed.
A messenger from King Dhritarashtra's court, dressed in fine attire, approached Karna with a respectful bow. "Angraj Karna, I bring you greetings from King Dhritarashtra. His Majesty awaits your arrival at the royal palace and requests your presence at the earliest convenience."
