[Champa City, Entrance Gates]
Karna and family were gazing at retreating figures of King Drupad and his family back to Panchal. After some time everyone went back to the palace.
"Karna come let's go back, they are gone already." Khushi's voice carried a gentle tone as she stood by Karna's side, her hand reaching out to lightly touch his arm.
Karna's gaze remained fixed on the path that King Drupad and his family had taken, his thoughts seemingly lost in contemplation. He turned his head slightly toward Khushi, his lips curving into a soft smile as he met her gaze. "Yes, You go first I will follow in a while."
"Okay, But come fast dinner is going to be ready in some time don't be late~"
Khushi gave Karna a warm smile and a playful wink before turning to head back to the palace. Karna watched her retreating figure for a moment, a sense of warmth and contentment filling his heart. He took a deep breath and turned his attention back to the path ahead.
