Lakshmi Deva Raya was the first child of Krishna Deva and the only princess in the Empire. She had been exceptional throughout her childhood. She learned and adapted to everything very fast. Despite the limitation of being a female. She learned martial arts from a young age.
The bright child that was once hailed as a young genius was nowhere to be found on her 14th birthday. That day everything changed. The daily life felt mundane to her. Her brothers were all considered prospects for the throne.
She was also given a chance to the throne, although she could see the stark difference. They claimed to be giving equal chance to everyone. But the reality hit her hard. The difference in the way her brother was garnering support easily with skills inferior to hers in all departments nauseated her.
The brightness of her smile faded on that day. The vague memories of the chatter still lingered in her head.
