Suryaputra Karna: 10 Million Dharma Critical hits-Chapter 15 - 13 The Judgment of the Crown Prince

The royal court of Hastinapura had descended into chaos.

Voices of anger echoed through the massive hall.

Several nobles stood up in outrage.

"That low-born child needs to be punished!"

"Yes! A mere Suta dared to remove the queen’s sacred blindfold!"

"This insult cannot be tolerated!"

"I suggest pouring molten gold over his hands!"

"That will purify the sin!"

Many ministers nodded in agreement.

To them, the act was unacceptable.

Even if the child was an infant.

Even if the action had been unintentional.

The court nobles were not known for mercy.

Meanwhile, at the center of the hall, Adhiratha and Radha remained kneeling on the ground.

Radha held the child tightly against her chest.

Her face had turned pale.

She never imagined that bringing her son to receive blessings would lead to such disaster.

"My lord... please forgive us..."

Adhiratha’s voice trembled slightly as he bowed deeply.

"It was an accident."

"The child did not understand what he was doing."

Inside Radha’s arms, Karna remained strangely calm.

Although the adults around him were panicking, his mind remained steady.

So this is the royal court...

Politics.

Pride.

And the cruelty of status.

Inside his mind, the system interface flickered briefly.

Karna silently absorbed the information.

Even he did not expect that touching Gandhari’s blindfold would trigger such an event.

But the system had clearly benefited from the encounter.

Meanwhile, the voices of the nobles continued growing louder.

"This child must be punished!"

"If we ignore this insult, the dignity of the royal court will be lost!"

"Yes! Punishment is necessary!"

The hall buzzed with anger.

Then suddenly—

A deep voice echoed across the court.

"Arya, please calm down."

The voice was gentle yet firm.

All eyes turned toward Gandhari.

The queen had already covered her eyes again with the fallen cloth.

Her expression had returned to calm dignity.

She held one hand forward slightly.

"I do not believe this is the child’s fault."

Her voice carried quiet authority.

"He is only an infant."

"He does not understand the actions of adults."

The nobles hesitated.

But some still looked dissatisfied.

However, before anyone could speak again—

Another voice rose.

Much colder.

Much more powerful.

Dhritarashtra slowly stood from his throne.

Even though he could not see the court, his presence alone silenced the entire hall.

"I have heard enough."

His voice echoed through the chamber.

The nobles immediately bowed their heads.

No one dared to interrupt the crown prince.

Dhritarashtra turned his face slightly toward Adhiratha.

"Adhiratha."

His voice was calm now.

"You said the child did not understand his actions."

Adhiratha quickly lowered his head further.

"Yes, Arya."

Dhritarashtra remained silent for a moment.

The court waited anxiously.

Everyone expected a harsh punishment.

But instead—

A faint smile appeared on the crown prince’s face.

"The child has spirit."

His words surprised many people.

"A child who dares to move so freely in the royal court..."

"That is not weakness."

"It is courage."

The nobles exchanged confused glances.

They had not expected such a response.

Dhritarashtra slowly raised his hand.

"As the future king of Hastinapura..."

His voice grew firm.

"I will deliver the judgment."

The court immediately became silent again.

Every noble waited for the verdict.

Radha’s hands trembled slightly as she held Karna.

Then Dhritarashtra spoke. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"This child will not be punished."

A wave of surprise spread across the court.

But the crown prince was not finished.

Instead, his next words shocked everyone even more.

"As compensation for the disturbance caused today..."

He declared calmly.

"The city of Anga will be granted to the son of Radha."

The entire court froze.

Even Adhiratha looked stunned.

Dhritarashtra continued.

"The boy’s name is Karna, correct?"

Radha nodded weakly.

"Yes... my lord."

Dhritarashtra smiled faintly.

"Very well."

"From this day forward..."

"The child Karna shall be recognized by this court."

A quiet silence filled the hall.

The crown prince’s voice echoed one final time.

"Remember this name."

"Karna."
