Rewari Kingdom, Inner palace of Bawal, evening of 7th March 1557
In the grand hall of the king's court, the atmosphere was charged with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. The richly decorated room shimmered under the flickering torchlights. Courtiers, allied delegates, ministers, and key officials filled the space, their attire reflecting their high status.
A low murmur of conversation permeated the air as everyone settled into their designated seats and positions based on rank, their eyes fixed on the elevated throne at the center of the room.
Some delegates, having concluded their business, had already taken their leave, but a few remained out of curiosity about the kingdom's current state and the aftermath of the recent revolt. This session, being the first since the rebellion, was eagerly anticipated.
