I Become Karna With a Million Times Crit System In Mahabharata.
48 48. Spider Web
The whole room became suddenly quiet from the words of Karna, Pandavas' side looking at him like they were seeing a fool except for the one boy whose eyes now revealed fear.
Bhishma too became quite turning gears in his mind but still couldn't come up with what Karna was trying to say but Vidur standing by his side had a white face, As if all his blood drained hearing Karna's words.
Kaurava's side is also quite sceptical as to how can Karna accuse someone like Vidur of treachery, This man worked for this kingdom all his life and even part of it, There is no way Vidur would be a traitor in Karna's mouth.
But there was someone also in this group to see through the web Karna had woven for Vidur, Well there are two people who saw through it one was Vikram, While the other was Middle aged but handsome man, Who at first glance looked like a royal birth.
Vikram has an astonished expression with a touch of admiration, Meanwhile, that middle aged man only had one emotion on his face, which was blank. There was no facial indication of his current mood.
But his bright eyes can say that he is enjoying it.
"Karna, Calling someone who was respected as Mahamantri (Head Secretary) of Hastinapur, Please speak your evidence as we do not want to tarnish the reputation of a respectful person like him."
Gandhari seeing Karna might get in trouble spoke up, Her words sound like it was in favour of Vidur but the meaning was quite clear.
Let Karna speak his proof, If he did not have it he can walk away with a slap on the writs as a consequence, Which said members also notice but Pandavas side can't do anything as Gandhari made a clear statement here.
If they go against words they do consider treason, So they shut up and wait for Karna to finish speaking.
Vidur too came out of his initial shock and started to think about counter but to his horror he found that Karna did not leave him any leeway making him helpless.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak Maharani (Queen). My proof is that Vidur purposefully made that deviation look like it was for Prince Suyodhan. Just think about it. At the time, the signs started in the early night and lasted for the whole night.
In that time frame, only Prince Suyodhan can't be in the kingdom, So Vidur purposefully pointed to the prince.
But wait, the prediction said the one who was born will destroy KuruVansh (Kuru lineage), So it has to be born in the Kuru lineage right? Wrong! How can one who was born in the Kuruvansh will destroy it?
It's more logical to think that the enemy of Kuru was born somewhere in the kingdom but no Vidur makes sure to put focus only on Prince Suyodhan.
And still, we go with the fact that the one who destroys the Kuruvansh is born in the Kuruvansh, No matter how stupid that sounds but still the sake of argument considers it like that is the case.
So the question still arises, Is Prince Suyodhan the only KuruVansh born that day and time? Is no one else close to the Kuru lineage bat at that time?
But Vidur considers that? No he directly pointed out to Prince Suyodhan ignoring all other points, This proves it was a well-intended attack on Prince Suyodhan, As he was the target of an evil adharmic act of it.
Why may you ask? Simple, Hate. He hated that he, even as a prince, was treated like a lowborn. He hated that even though he was well capable of being king, others made his blind brother kin over him.
He hated that others looked so down on him that they would rather choose a blind person than him. A prince born from a maid, So he decided to do this. This way there will be no heir for the current king and so no one is the king of his sons.
He decided that if he can't take the throne from the current king then he will take it away from the future one.
This is my proof and argument, O'Mahamahim as a protector of the throne, Please give a judgement."
Karna for the first time in his life speaks so much without any interruption, But he was proud of it.
He gave no way to Vidur to escape from this thing, He for the last two years studied and researched everything about this thing and even laid the foundation for Vidur to corner him today.
He was like a spider weaving a web for Vidur for the last 3 years and today he caught him in that web trapping him completely just waiting there to be devoured by him.
He also purposefully did not allow Gandhari to handle this situation as someone can take that as an excuse for biassed judgement but if The great soul of the Hastinapur, Mahamahim Bhishma make a judgement then there is no one can point fingers at it No one has guts to oppose his judgement.
This is a also reason he go for Vidur as people already kinda did not like him for being a low born as he was born to a maid but he is title as a prince, So turning people in the court and kingdom against him was way easy then to do it with Bhishma as it was nearly impossible.
"Hearsay, It's all hearsay. You are just making stuff up without any proof-"
"Vidur, You have to come with me, You will be judged at the royal court tomorrow by the king."
Vidur wanted to say something in his defence, Yeah he hated not being able to be a king but that was not his intention behind doing all this, He did it to protect Bheem.
Bheem was always o born at the same time as Suyodhan and to be honest he knew the time of Bheem's Birth is close to the prediction then Suyodhan but he wanted to protect Pandu's kids, After all they are the future of this kingdom.
That's what he lied as Gandhari was going to have 100, If she lost 1 that's not a big deal but Kunti only had 2 at that time, and that too from the Devas.
So the choice was obvious and so he did what he did at the time, He did all that to protect the throne kingdom.
But before he finished saying, Bhishma patted his shoulder and spoke in a cold voice.
He of course does not believe Karna's words but when he was the face of Vidur, He knew what Karna said had the truth, So he did tell the lie that Prince Suyodhan was a bad omen, This is indeed treason as it did against kings child that too firstborn.
So as he who took an oath of protecting the throne also has to punish those who go against it, He very well knows if Vidur goes into the royal court then not only his but also his family's life would be in danger, But that's a price a traitor has to pay for betrayal.
"Wait for A Great Mahamahim, Let Vidur have a chance to speak in his defence, After all what I said was just my thoughts, If Mahamantri Vidur had taken a blood oath that he did not and will not do anything against the throne and the one on the and related to the throne and also give them his full support, All my accusations will drop on its own."
When Karna saw that Bhishma believed him, he moved to the 2nd stage. He never planned on killing Vidur. After all, he needed 3 years of planning for doing all this. Killing him just like that is too great of a loss.
After all he is said to be one the top 5 smartest men in this era. It is rather efficient and beneficial to add him to our group. This way he not only makes his enemies weaker but also earns a huge strength.
Now he forced Vidur to take a blood oath, The oath that is so deadly that once broken it will not only kill the person but also everyone who is directly related to his blood, Of course, which was his direct family.
And not Dhritarashtra and others as they do not have a direct bloodline, He makes sure of it before making that plan.
"...Okay, *Cut* I Vidur, Mahamantri of Hastinapur, Son of Ved Vyas and Prince of Hastinapur, Taking this Sun in the sky, The air in nature and people in this room as a witness take this blood oath that I never will make any move against the throne, The one on the throne and created to the man on the throne, They will have my undying loyalty."
Vidur finally understands that from the beginning Pandavas were not the target of Karna but he was the one who he was planning of attacking since he came here, No- He was planning this since they met.
Now his brain started to work and he understood how deep and well constructed the plan Karna made to trap him like this.
For this, he was kinda feeling excited as he never met someone who would do something like this. This long playing, even that monster of the brother of the queen might not be able to do it.
Well, at least he thinks so.
There was no other option for him. He either took an oath and showed his loyalty to the king or he died. He was not afraid of dying but he knew the crime Karna accused him of means his family was also not safe, so not for him but for his family he had to bend.
He took out the dagger tied to his waist and held that naked blade in his hand before with force taking it back and making a deep cut on his hand.
Blood started to flow out of it, but Vidur as a trained warrior did not bother with this light wound, He looked up at Karna and then at the sun in the sky through the window then looked around the room before mentioning people in this room took a blood oath.
*Rumble* *Bang*
As he finished speaking, Blood in his hand started to glow as the law of nature started to merge with the falling blood. The golden Sanskrit words appeared out of thin air, Karna read it and it said the same thing that Vidur just spoke, Word by word.
After hovering around for a few seconds, Those words quickly dropped on his open wound but other than like before flowing out with blood it went inside out merging with his body.
[Ding...!]
(A/N : I had some free time so write one but please don't demand more as I am really on a tight schedule, And there is also another book other than "Surviving In Women's World as a novel villain." (I am shameless don't you know?) that I planned to release at the start of the next month.
So this will take some time to upload but I will still try to upload it as fast as I can.
Like always thank you for reading and have a good day 😁)
