What if Duryodhan never helped Karn but instead insulted him?
After Kunti abandoned Karn, Karn was taken by a family that treated him like a das (servant). Karn always wanted to learn archery but his family didn't allow him, so he ran away, he learn...
"All of you should go now and return soon." she said, bhrata Yudhisthir, bhrata Bheem, Nakul, Sahadev and I nodded
"No, Mata" said Jyesht, we looked at him
"You five go. I will stand guard here" he said
"As you say, Jyesht" bhrata Yudhisthir, bhrata Bheem, Nakul, Sahadev and I said unison we went
"In which direction should we proceed, bhrata Sthir?" I asked
"Kampilya lies towards uttar, Jun. We cannot proceed that way. We should proceed in this direction." said bhrata Yudhisthir, gesturing to north-east
"There must be a village that way." said bhrata Yudhisthir,
Fifteen minuets later
We were walking
"But will anyone be here? What if everyone has gone to see the Swayamvar?" asked Nakul
"Why would everyone go to see the Swayamvar?" asked bhrata Bheem
"I've heard, the King of Panchal has organized a grand event." said Nakul
"And whoever goes there today," said Sahadev we looked at him
"will be given gold coins in charity. Such an announcement was also made by him." he said
"And the subjects also wish to see their rajkumari, bhrata Jun. I have heard that the rajkumari is so beautiful that upon seeing her, one forgets one's sadness and pains." said Nakul I remembered the face of the rajkumari in the Shiva temple that is exactly how I felt
"Many rajkumaro would have gone there then with the hope to forget their sadness and pains." I said they laughed
Dhrishtadyumn's P.O.V.
"All hail King Drupad!" the citizens yelled multiple times pitashree raised his and the citizens became quite
"I welcome all the rajao and rajkumaro present here. All of you must know that the whole of the Aryaverth was given a divine present by the agni dev. From the sacrificial fire a putri as pure and radiant as fire and bearing divine beauty was created. She is like a flag at the pinnacle of a temple or at the zenith of a palace! Similarly, to have my putri the rajkumari of Panchal, Draupadi as his wife would be the fortune of only the most competent person on the planet! I ask the Kshatriya rajao and rajkumaro present to have their competence tested by coming forth! Yuvraj, Dhrishtadyumn, shall elaborate the competition." said pitashree, I walked down the stairs I joined my hands and bowed at the brahmins
"I welcome the guests present here! Such a competition has been set up here which cannot be conquered by an ordinary warrior." I said I walked to the bow that was covered with a cloth I removed the cloth revealing the bow there were whispers through the Swayamvar
"This divine bow can be lifted only by the person who has nothing but confidence in his competence. If the shadow of doubt creeps up on someone then for him, the weight of this bow will be more than that of a mountain. This bow can be stringed only by a person who can free himself of desire, anger and greed who has true dharm in his heart and knows how to bear it. To him, art should not be a medium to obtain anything but an opportunity to further learn various arts." I said, I picked up my bow said a mantra pulled the string and released the arrow there was a huge blue explosion and a fish appeared.
