Vidyut first attended the Great King Shaktidev's court six years ago. Few affairs were as grand and splendid as his assemblies, perhaps a royal wedding, a hero's tournament, or the festival of lights. The seat of the assemblies was the immense court hall of the Sun Palace. They said one of the past kings invited the ten greatest architects from around the world to build that marvelous hall, and once finished, no one ever heard from the architects.
