Chapter 794

~4 min read 622 words

Yudhishthira, the son of the God of Dharma, says directly: "Mother, what a serious crime you have committed. What is covered by you is sin; only what is revealed to people is virtue! You hid virtue as a sin, which led to our fratricide!"

So the five sons discuss and decide that they want to give up the war and go to Karna for peace talks!

August 6: In the early morning, Karna finishes his prayer to his father, the Sun God, according to custom, and at this moment, the five Pandavas appear before him with Kunti.

Just when Karna thinks the other party is preparing to capture the leader first to capture the followers, the five sons tell Karna the mystery of his background!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Karna looks at this scene and is also stunned. How could this be? No, he is a charioteer's son; how could he be the illegitimate son of Queen Kunti!

Imagine, you have a pair of parents who love you, but one day you learn that you are not their biological son, and your biological mother is the mother of the person you hate the most—that is how sad it is.

Karna doesn't believe it. He hurriedly runs to his mother Radha to ask. Seeing the grown-up Karna, Radha also speaks wrongly in her excitement:

"Even if I didn't give birth to you, so what? I am the one who raised you; I am your mother."

"It is actually... true."

Karna is very confused at this moment. He didn't expect everything to be true.

Karna returns to where the five Pandavas and Kunti are. Looking at Karna's appearance, the five Pandavas already understand that he knows his background, so Yudhishthira says: "Karna, we have discussed it. You are our brother, and you also have the right to inherit Kuru, so we are willing to negotiate peace and give the throne to you."

Following Yudhishthira's words, two choices appear before Karna.

Option 1: Listen to Yudhishthira and directly inherit the throne. Solving it peacefully is naturally the best result.

Option 2: Refuse Yudhishthira's words. A new system needs a new king. Acknowledging Yudhishthira means he has merely become another Kshatriya.

"I choose... 2!"

His wish is equality for all. His ascending the throne as a Kshatriya would just mean the country has changed a king, but overthrowing the Kshatriya rule as a Suta's son would allow everyone to be equal.

"Why!" Arjuna looks at Karna in front of him in confusion!

He doesn't understand why the other party would give up the throne that is within reach!

Karna says: "You have your Dharma, and I have my Dharma. Although Mother Kunti gave birth to me, she abandoned me, and it was the charioteer couple who raised me. I am a Suta's son, and I am proud to be a Suta's son."

Arjuna: "But! If you don't agree, then Kuru will definitely be plunged into misery! Why bother!"

"Of course I won't let Kuru be plunged into misery. I am willing to stand up and fight the strongest one you choose. The winner is the king. If you win, I will leave Kuru and let Yudhishthira take the throne. And if I win, you will respect me as king from now on and obey all my reforms. How about that?"

The five Pandavas look at each other and feel that this is the best method. And they are very confident in Arjuna's strength, so they nod in agreement and agree to hold this King Selection Battle in the witness of everyone on the Kuru battlefield three days later!

Seeing this, Karna also reveals a smile: "Lin Ye, my choice should be correct, right?" ===== CHAPTER 796 =====
