10th October 1659
Akhand Bharatiya Empire
Vijay lay on the bed, still asleep, having stayed up late managing the affairs of the government. Kavya had already gotten up, undressed from her night garments, and dressed in a beautiful langa voni. She looked at herself in the mirror and clenched her fist in determination. She took one last look at Vijay, kissed him on the cheek, and left the room.
Vijay wasn't aware of any of it; he slept soundly.
This is a very special day for Kavya, as it is the day when her book *Bahubali: The Legend of Amarendra* is released to the market. She had already received positive feedback from Vijay and the people whom she had selected. She was now looking forward to the reaction of the people of the empire.
