"Anyway-"
Grrrr...
Karna's stomach growled, interrupting Krishna's words and drawing laughter from the wives.
"Seems like the great Karna is not immune to hunger," Krishna teased, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Karna chuckled, his serious demeanor giving way to a more lighthearted one. "Even the great Karna needs sustenance, it appears."
The wives, still surrounding Karna, joined in the laughter. The courtyard, which had witnessed tension and mystery, now resonated with the warmth of familial bonds and shared laughter.
"Let's head to the palace and have a hearty meal otherwise he might eat us~"
The wives laughed at the playful remark, and Karna rolled his eyes with a smirk. With Krishna included, the group made their way to the palace, leaving behind the courtyard that had experienced a rollercoaster of emotions.
