Chapter 58: Trouble

Reddy Family Main House

a serious meeting was taking place. Prince Chandra was talking with Raghav Reddy and Govinda Rao about their recent efforts. They had successfully convinced many merchants to support them, which gave them an advantage over the second prince.

Prince Chandra asked, "How many merchants refused to join us?"

Govinda Rao answered, "A few small merchants and one big trader named Nakul. He does a lot of business with the Europeans and has wealth equal to Prabhakar's."

Chandra looked curious. "Do we know why Nakul refused?"

Govinda Rao shook his head. "Not exactly. We haven't found out his reasons yet. But he's very important, and, strangely, he's staying out of this."

Raghav Reddy added, "Nakul's support would be a huge boost for us. We should find out why he's hesitating and see if there's a way to change his mind."
