Bab 190: Postponed meetings Part -1

Purana Qila, Prince chamber, morning of 9th April 1557.

During Aditya's last visit to Khirkee village, he had overheard a peculiar rumor about a merchant operating near the nearby tent settlements. The merchant's popularity had grown so much that even the company recruits frequented his establishment for meals.

Intrigued by the tale, Aditya, accompanied by Vinayak, decided to investigate in disguise. Upon arrival, he was astounded by the scale of development the merchant's small enterprise had brought to the settlement. What began as a humble venture had blossomed into a thriving hub of activity, transforming the lives of the local people.

Motivated by the merchant's talent, Aditya decided to meet him in person. So, his meeting was quickly prioritized, ahead of other postponed appointments.
