Mandodari, sensing the curiosity and perhaps a hint of wariness, greeted them with a polite smile. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you," she said warmly. "I've heard so much about Karna's remarkable fiancées, and I look forward to getting to know each of you better."
The tension in the air slowly dissipated as Khushi, Hina, Kali, and Scáthach exchanged polite greetings with Mandodari. They could sense the sincerity in her words and the genuine warmth in her smile. Despite the initial curiosity and wariness, they were willing to give her a chance, knowing that Karna valued her presence.
Khushi, being the most outgoing of the group, stepped forward and took Mandodari's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you too," she said with a friendly grin. "We're like a family here, and you're welcome to be a part of it."
