Chapter 129: Glimpse of Tyrant?

Rewari kingdom, Khera village , Night of 8th march 1557

After securing the area and confirming the victory, Aditya ordered his forces to capture the defeated survivors, secure the villagers, and douse the flames. Despite their best efforts, much of the village lay in ruins, consumed by the blaze.

Damage reports revealed the heavy toll on Aditya's elite guards, with only 67 out of 100 surviving due to their lack of proper armor. The crossbowmen suffered the loss of 10, and the musketeers, 22. The police militia, though valiant, was reduced from 40 to 26 due to their limited training.

The villagers, though devastated by the destruction of their homes, found relief in Aditya's promise of rehabilitation. The prince's personal sacrifice and involvement to their welfare inspired hope despite the losses.
