The setting sun cast long shadows across Hastinapura, signaling the end of another day filled with intricate planning and strategic meetings. In the midst of this activity, the palace’s tranquil gardens offered a rare moment of respite. The characters found solace in the serene surroundings as they prepared for their next steps.

Shivani, Advika, and Karna gathered in the garden, where they could talk freely without the formality of the palace's main halls. The air was filled with the soothing fragrance of blooming flowers, and the gentle rustling of leaves created a calming backdrop for their conversation.
