King Drupad's smile grew wider, his enthusiasm was evident. "I propose a grand alliance between our kingdoms, one that goes beyond mere diplomatic ties. Let's join our families by marrying my daughter Draupadi. What do you say?"
Karna's exclamation reverberated through the chamber, his eyes widening in surprise at King Drupad's unexpected proposal. The idea of a grand alliance through marriage was indeed significant, but the suddenness of the proposal caught him off guard.
King Drupad chuckled at Karna's reaction, clearly amused by his surprise. "I can see that you are taken aback, Karna. But think about it – a union between our families would solidify the bonds between our kingdoms and create a formidable alliance. Your strength as a king and Draupadi's grace and intelligence would make for a powerful partnership."
