Chapter 110 109. Asura King
"Hey Fox, Do you understand my words?...Forget it, Just know that Mata is an easy hurdle, We have to convince Pitashri for him to let me keep you. If not, you will be living on the streets."
Karna lay on the wooden bed on his back, Lifting the white fox in front of him, Trying to communicate with her.
But she on the other hand pretends to sleep, Totally not in a mood to talk anything with him, Though Karna didn\'t know if she can understand his words but he was damn sure she can feel his emotions thanks to his beastmaster title.
So the conclusion Karna came to is that, This fox is just lazy, All she knows is to eat and sleep, Which normally can be forgiven thinking she was just born but this little thing ate a whole pot of Sanjevani.
He is afraid that if he lets the energy build up, She will burst open because of spiritual pressure. After all, even if Sanjevani is a life-saving medicine it\'s only applicable when taken in suitable doses.
Anything taken excessively like that will turn deadly, Even something essential to life things like oxygen and water, Both can kill a person when taken more than one should.
*Pop*
The eyes of the white fox opened in a flash the moment Karna mentioned that she would be living in the streets. She didn\'t care about living in the streets, She was more concerned about she will not get enough food.
So for the food, She was willing to sacrifice her beauty sleep. After all, she is a very big-hearted pers- Fox.
She looked at Karna and started wagging her nine tails simultaneously, Showing that she was willing to listen to him.
"Are you sure you are a fox and not a pig?"
Karna was stunned seeing her reaction, Thanks to the emotional connection system that helped him make with her, He can easily understand what made her this excited, He could not understand how come this little thing this much.
And even if she somehow ate it, Where was it all going? She showed no sign of being full at all, He was sure if he took out something to eat she would gulp it down in no time.
*Bite*
Well, what Karna answered was a bite on his hand, Which Karna let it happen because the next second regret was written all over the face of the fox as she held her front paw licking it with teary eyes.
Karna wanted to laugh at her antics, He on purpose let her bite him, which triggered his Face-Slap body, Feeding her back 100 % of the attack power but the fact is that, He knows there was nearly any strength in her bite, so she was just pretending on his face.
"Stop acting, Let me tell you, My father is a very strict man, So be good in front of him, I was not joking about living on the street thing, He will definitely put you in a stable with horses."
Karna stopped this drama and came to the point, His father Adiratha is a simple man without many demands but he is a very principled man, Once he decided no one can change his decision.
There is rule animals should stay outside the house, Which from his perspective is a very logical thing as animals do being many illnesses and other things with them.
He who is always with animals knows this, So in his eyes, it\'s reasonable to keep them outside as he didn\'t want his family to suffer.
Karna knew that even if it was a stable, Adiratha love his horses like his own children, so even if this Fox live in the stable, She would live comfortably but the only problem is that this nine tail fox became stronger and more beautiful depending on how much beauty she saw in her infancy.
He didn\'t want to sound narcissistic but Karna knew that currently in this world he is the most beautiful person. The reaction of others , especially great sages like Guru Durvasa, proves that fact.
So it\'s best for her to be with him, It won\'t hurt to have a strange companion with him.
*Nod*
The fox just nodded her furry head, She right now agrees with anything Karna will say. Her reasoning is simple, Karna is beautiful. Beautiful people get a lot more resources and opportunities than average people, And so she will also get more food.
It was a simple and easy-to-understand thought process of hers.
And so both the man and the fox started discussing about buttering up his father to convince him to let the fox stay in the house.
….
"O\' Great King forgive us but we were not able to find the location of the 8th child of Princess Devaki."
A servant was kneeling in the royal court assembly, He was trembling with fear. It\'s been 4 years since they were tasked to find the 8th child of their former princess and current Queen of the Yadava clan.
But they failed miserably, Not to mention the location of the child, Even the approximated location of the child could not be found, As if the child didn\'t exist in this mortal realm at all.
They tried everything. They searched every corner of Aryavart except a few kingdoms like Hastinapur and Ayodhya for fearing offending them, But they didn\'t give up. They decided to use astrology to find the location of the child.
For which they called the most revered sages and astrologers to ask the stars about the location of the child but still no result, everyone only said one thing which was that something blocking them from peeking into the future, It\'s become all blur.
So the servant was terrified now. There was Akashvani (Oracle) that said the 8th child of a Devaki. The sister of the current king will be the one who will kill the current King, Kansa.
For which the current king put his beloved sister into prison along with her husband, Who was also his dear friend, Vasudeva.
It\'s well known that thou tyrant, King indeed loves his sister and his friend but because of that one message, He even becomes cruel to them, As he sees himself as a saviour of Asura\'s.
And why would he not be? He was only one of few Asura kings remaining on this earth, Others were wiped out either because of their own greed or other\'s deceit, As all Asura he too hated Lord Vishnu.
"That Mayavi (Illusionist) trickster, Ahh!! You go and send RajDuta (Royal messenger) into Hastinapur, Ayodhan and Panchal bringing requests for them to look for that damn child."
Kansas was fuming with anger. It\'s been a decade since he had to put his beloved sister in prison but what\'s the point of it? The reason he put her in was to kill her 8th child the moment it was born somehow escaped from the prison.
He knows it was all Maya of that trickster, If not a newborn never able to escape from tight security prison, But no matter what, He never will be killed by the Avatar of that trickster, Never.
This is the real reason why he decided to put them in prison, As king he is not afraid of death. What he hates or says disgusted by was getting killed by the god he hates the most.
It\'s not secret the hatred Asura has for the Lord Vishnu, Each time they were tricked by him and killed by him, Hence why Kansa rather bear all those sins than to risk dying in the hands of the Avatar of Lord Vishnu.
"But king, Maharathi Bhishma-"
"I don\'t care. Send this message to Emperor Dhritarashtra, Say if he finds the child, I will gift Hastinapur most of the futile land near our borders and this king and kingdom of Mathura will be allies of his."
The servant wanted to remind his king that in Hastinapur there is still mighty Maharathi rank warrior Bhishma but he was stopped by King Kansa.
Kansas knew the terror of Bhishma but he is not afraid of him because no matter how strong that warrior is, He still bound himself in the shackles, imprisoning himself in oath.
So he didn\'t have to deal with a lowly warrior. He will make a deal with a king. This is quite a generous offer he was given which hardly anyone refused but he still didn\'t want to take any chances.
He knows never to underestimate the trickery of Mayavi, He needs a backup plan.
"Kaliya, I command you to come in front of me."
So Kansa roared, His voice contained a spiritual power that helped his voice to spread across his whole kingdom but was only audible to the one who had a certain strength.
"Your servant is here lord, Give me your command, If you want I will poison the whole world."
Just as Kansa\'s voice reverberated in the assembly, A tall slender man appeared in the middle of the hall bowing towards the king, Ready to be commanded by his king.
"Please stand up, Kaliya, I don\'t want you to poison the world, I want you to go to Hastinapur and search for the divine child, Be careful, You just have to find it, Don\'t harm anyone, We don\'t want to have enmity with kingdom like Hastinapur, right now.
Do you understand?"
King Kansa gave his command with a warning, Because he put the Yadav king Vasudeva in prison, There is already pressure on his kingdom from them, He didn\'t want to create any unnecessary enemies.
"I understand my lord, I will search the whole kingdom of Hastinapur for that divine child. When I find him, I will immediately inform you, Now give me permission to leave."
Kaliya still maintained his bowing position and accepted the task given to him, He will definitely find any divine child if there is any in Hastinapur.
"Hum, Go, Be successful."
King Kansa nodded and blessed him as he permitted him to leave. He just hopes Kaliya will not find a divine child in Hastinapur, It would be very difficult if that happens.
Kaliya paid his respect to the king before he vanished out of thin air just like when he came here, The royal court assembly also ended, All waiting for Hastinapur\'s response.
(A/N : You guys wanted action right? Here is your action, I bet no one expected Kansa\'s entry.
Like always thank you for reading and have a good day .)
