Karna headed towards Hastinapur, accepting Hastinapur's offer. Mahamahim Bhishm, Guru Dron, Maharaj Dridhrashtr and Mahamantri Vidur were sure that Karna would lose the game. The King had agreed to Shakuni because they needed Karna on their side for the war against the Pandavas. They had to make Karna their slave so that he did not oppose them. And Karna, being a dharmvan would never decline the invitation. Maharaj Dridhrashtr was very happy that his sons lives would be spared.
The Pandavas were not allowed to come to Hastinapur as their eldest brother had ordered them to stay in Indraprasth. The six of them were worried for Karna and Vrushali.

"Welcome, oh! King Of Anga!" Shakuni wickedly said
Karna faked a sad expression, "I know who the winner will be...but I am ready to play the game"

"I don't know why Aryaputr Karn wishes to put everyone at stake once again..." Draupadi muttered pacing around in the hall.
"And he made us sit here...at Indraprasth..."
"I don't know what will happen...I hope they don't misbehave with Vrushali Bhabhishree..." Arjun cried sitting next to Bheem

Karna's POV:
To prevent massive destruction, I had to take this step. I had to agree to Hastinapur's invitation. The war would lead to the deaths of innocent lives. At the same time, I had promised that Draupadi will get justice, I will keep my promise too. They should be punished for trying to disrobe a woman.

"Friend Karn, please accept defeat before you begin the game...you know mamashree Shakuni is an expert...even Yudhistir was an expert...but you have never played this game in your life...please give up and take my side...I do not want to make you my slave..." Duryodhan smiled wickedly
Karna remained silent for a while and Shakuni began saying the rules aloud. The rules were the same like last time. It was time for Karna to speak up,
"Pranipat Mahamahim Bhishm, Dronacharya, Maharaj Dridhrashtr...Mahamantri Vidur," He said folding his palms together wishing everyone
The elders nodded and looked at each other. Ashwatthama decided that Karna was a fool.
"Mahamantri Vidur, may I ask something before the game begins...?" Karna asked
"Of course...proceed...." King Dridhrashtr said smiling wickedly
"This sut putr doesn't deserve to be a king..." he thought
"I am ready to become Hastinapur's slave if you win the game...." Karna lowered his eyes down, pretending to be sad
Shakuni and Duryodhan looked at each other with a sense of victory
"But in case I win the game,...can I order everyone in this sabha...?" Karna asked
Shakuni chuckled
"Angraj, only if you win....but fine...if everyone becomes your slave then we will listen to you...but we know that it won't happen..." Shakuni laughed
The whole sabha began laughing at him.
"Can we begin the game?..." Karna calmly asked
Duryodhan smiled "Of course...Mamashree Shakuni will be my representative as usual..."
"Can I choose my representative too, Maharaj?" Karna humbly asked
Shakuni was sure that Karna had gone mad. No one in this world had the ability to win him in the game of dice
"Of course...you can have a representative too..." Shakuni cried
"I have brought my representative here..." Karna said
"Who's he?" Duryodhan chuckled
"Vasudev Krishn will play instead of me as a substitute, just like Mamashree Shakuni for Prince Duryodhan, Maharaj..." Karna smiled humbly
