The grand chamber in the royal palace was filled with the low hum of quiet conversations as King Tribhuvan entered, his steps firm and his face resolute.
The atmosphere was different today charged with a sense of purpose. The advisors and key leaders assembled here had come a long way from the initial shock of the merger proposal.
Now, there was a readiness in their eyes, a shared understanding that they were on the brink of something historic.
King Tribhuvan took his seat at the head of the long table, and the room fell silent. His closest advisor, Mohan Shamsher, sat to his right.
Across from them were generals, ministers, and influential figures who had once been skeptical but had since come to see the merger as the best path forward.
