Bab 132: New weapon designs

Rewari Kingdom , Bawal inner palace, night of 11th march 1557.

The moonlight, though not full, cast a gentle radiance over the inner palace. A young woman, draped in a traditional ghaghra choli and a flowing white silk dupatta, sat thoughtfully by a window.

Despite the view of the courtyard where the royal maids moved hurriedly for their tasks and the tree branch nearby where squirrels fought for the acorns in the oak tree, her vision was stuck on the partial moon as she was lost in thought. It was none other than Meenakshi who was upset with the recent turn of events.

She had high expectations of Aditya, but they were shattered when she learned about the harsh measures he took against innocent citizens who weren't directly connected to the ambush. Eradicating entire lineages based on familial ties seemed unjustifiable to her. Although arrests were made, the numbers were minimal.
