Chapitre 130: New Morning, New Directions

 Pakistan sultanate, Fort of Lahore, Palace Garden, 9th March 1557

As the first rays of the morning sun bathed the garden in a golden glow, Bairam Khan sat at a lavishly adorned table, enjoying the greenery around him. Dressed in regal attire, he reclined comfortably in a high-backed chair, savoring the rich flavors of a lavish breakfast. The table was a feast of kebabs and fruits, with the aroma of grilled beef mingling with the fragrant scent of fresh produce.

The garden was filled with blooming flowers and well-trimmed plants. Soldiers stood at a vigilant distance ensured his safety.IN front of him, the villagers, lined up in anxious, pleading positions. Their faces filled with desperation.

An elderly villager glistening with sweat, stepped forward. His voice trembled as he spoke. "Hazoor, please give us some more time. We didn't get enough yield due to the rain."
