Chapter 100 100. Special Connection With Darkness
"Prince, your bones are completely healed. There is no need to apply another bandage but still, it's best not to put pressure on that hand for a while."
A royal doctor Bhaskar was inspecting the fingers of Sushasan which were broken by Bheema before, In just a matter of course the broken bones are held which normally need at least a few months.
This is the reason why Bhaskar is appointed as a royal doctor directly. He can be said to be a master of medicine, as long as the person is not dead, He is pretty confident that he can save their life.
So for him, the broken bones were nothing, and Sushashan's injuries were fully healed, As for the mild bruises of Vikrama we're long since disappeared.
"But you Eklavya, You need to worry, Your broken knees though healed but because of your malnourishment, You are going to need way more time to recover than I thought.
You better start taking care of yourself, The body is the most valuable fortune man has which he always ignores until it's too late, Don't be one of those people, I will send you medicinal herbal soup, It will be beneficial your you, Just make sure you drink it before it gets cold as it will lose most of its medical benefits if that happens."
After Bhaskar inspected Sushasan, He looked at Eklavya and frowned. His bones healed because of his herbal slava but it was done forcibly. Now his body did not have enough resources to keep his body properly working.
Though because he is young, He can force himself through it but this will affect him in future. If his body is not healed properly now, As he ages he will just be getting weaker and weaker till he could not able to ignore it but it will be too late to regret it.
This is a case for a normal man, Bhaskar heard that Eklavaya is going to learn warfare. If that is the case then it is even more deadly. If this goes on not only will the future of Eklavya be limited but his body might just give up on him.
This happen will a lot of warriors born in poverty, They someone how able to step into the path of cultivation but their bodies later on could not keep up with it ending their growth and so their life.
"...Thank you, Vaidya Mahoday, I will keep that in mind."
Eklavya was heard the words of Bhaskar and his first instinct was always deny it as he didn't want to owe any unnecessary debt to anyone but then understanding the consequence of denying it, He shut up and accepted it.
He got everything he asked for in just one day because of one person, He wanted to learn warfare, and That boy fulfilled that, He worried about food, and That too is fulfilled, He wanted a place to call home not to wander aimlessly in the world, Even that is given to him.
Most important, The purpose of life he was searching for so desperately, Now he has it, He will be a shield for that man and his kingdom, Any threat that will be headed towards them has to go past him.
For that, he needs to be strong, He needs to be capable enough to handle all the trouble for him, The one who gave him everything.
*Smack*
"That's more like it, And here I thought I have to beat more sense into you, Now go meet your family, They going to have a lot of questions for you, Also don't forget to eat medicines because- "
"Because you don't want me cripple as your student Guru Dev, I will take care of myself, So It will never happen, Thank you for caring."
Eklavya was lost in his thinking when Karna smacked his shoulder, Then there were his repeated words, Which Eklavya promptly completed, He knows it just said for him to take care of himself.
So he was very grateful and agreed with Karna, His family going to drown him in questions when he meet them, He had to talk a lot then.
"Thank you, Bhaskar Vaidya, You are very helpful."
Karna then turned to the doctor and thanked him, If not him, This person needed to be in special care for months, Which no one either Sushsan or Eklavya was willing to do.
So it's good that they recover or they might hurt themselves even more as they are made a way that these people hate to seat in a place doing nothing.
"Mitra, How you stay with us tonight? Look it's nearly dusk, It's not good to go out in the dark of night."
Duyrodhana after checking up with his brothers come to Karna when he saw that Karna now wanted to leave with Eklavya, He quickly spoke up to Karna.
There are many things he wanted to talk with Karna about, Many things to say, share, ask, The things he can't able to share with his brothers, Which are mostly because they already know it.
But anyway, He didn't reluctant to separate from Karna, He don't understand but he feel comfortable being in his presence of his which can't be described in words.
"I stayed, But I was out of the house since last night, My Mata (Mother) will be worried if I also didn't go home and before you say we can send a soldier to tell her that, It's not gonna work, It's going to make her worry more.
Also, she is not the only one I am concerned about here, I am worried about 4 more individuals, Who know what shenanigans they pulled up in my absence, I have to make sure they are okay, So I had to go now, Mitra.
But don't worry, I will visit you soon, It's just it not possible in a few days as I am going to be punished by those same 4 individuals because of breaking my own rule.
So I will be busy this day, Still, I will be visiting as soon as I am free, Until then I request you to take care of Eklavya and his family, And don't take seriously about daily improvement thing, Just make sure they are all fed and that Eklavaya does not overwork himself."
Karna pulled Duryodhana to the side and talk to him, At first Duryodhana was obviously disappointed but he can't say anything as he would have done the same but then he become curious towards the said individuals.
Who are they and why they are going to punish his Mirta? Are they male or female? If female didn't that mean his sister's status is in danger? With that thought all kinda alarms set off in his mind but he didn't show it as it's yet to be confirmed.
But the moment Duryodhana found that said individuals are women, He had to make sure that his parents will meet with the family of Karna to propose the marriage as soon as possible.
After all, He is sure if they are women, There is no way they will not want to be Karna seeing his charm, Which he had no problem with as King Karna has all the right to open his own Harem.
It's actually a royal duty to have a harem for the benefit and well-being of his kingdom but what is important is the title of main queen, While others like queens and concubines also have respect but they have to be under the first wives.
This is an unwritten rule, Which he even has a kid in this era know, And of course, Karna is ignorant of it, He is still thinking the matter of marriage with Shushala is a joke.
"Okay, Mitra, You take a few soldiers with you as it's really not good to go alone at night, And visit us soon."
Durodhana was going through a lot in his mind but still, he answer Karna and even asked to take soldiers with him, Though these soldiers don't look much but they are royal soldiers, Whose job is to protect the royal family, For which they are trained especially under warrior like Manamahim Bhishma.
So they are very well-capable people, A small fraction of them can take over the small kingdom on their own, So they are capable to protect Karna.
"No need Mitra, I don't need them, I have a special connection with this darkness, I will be fine, Just send Eklavya to the guest palace. I will get going now, See you soon."
Karna rejected the offer of taking soldiers with him, He has no problem taking it but his mother saw it, She will going to ask a lot of questions in worries, so it's better not to take them with him
So after saying that Karna was ready to leave, It's been late so the dress he made for his mother can't be taken out of the mill now, So it had to wait till tomorrow but it is fine, He knows many ways to make his mother forgive him.
"Okay Mitra, Go and be safe."
"Guru Dev take care."
"Thank you for saving us, Angaraj, Please take care of yourself."
"Yes I will, You also take care of yourself and Also stay away from Pandvas for a while."
As Karna starts to leave, The group greeted him farewell, He also does the same and even warned them to stay away from those children of luck, Who knows how Niyati tries to fix itself, they should stay away from them.
So Karna finally walked out of the room of the royal doctor and was rushing towards his house but in a mid-way, on the road, he halted as he heard the muffled cries coming from below the tree.
(A/N : Did Karna encounter Ghost?
