22nd September 1657
Colombo
"Commander Akhil, congratulations on your promotion to the Mahamantri of Lower House."
Local politicians and naval officers who had gathered together to welcome the arrival of one of the three naval commanders of the empire swarmed Akhil Mukherjee, who was wearing the ceremonial military uniform and had just set foot on the port. Akhil Mukherjee, the newly promoted Lower House Mahamantri of the Empire, now holds the highest and most prestigious title normally achievable by anyone at a state level. For reference, Lower House Mahamantri is the same title that His Excellency, the Chief Minister of Anuradha Puri (Sri Lanka), holds.
Akhil, looking at the crowd, was a little overwhelmed, as he had no experience dealing with fame and had never paid attention to becoming famous. Nonetheless, he was a commander leading a fleet of thousands of tons of ships, so he quickly recovered his composure.
