On the outskirts of the capital city of the Yadava kingdom. It was a bright day with a cool breeze.
A carriage was moving with a large contingent of the soldiers. It was the delegation returning from the Vijayanagara Empire.
Akhil Holkar and Naiki sat in the carriage dressed very luxuriously. They sat in silence as Naiki rarely talked to anyone. Akhil looked awkward the whole journey due to this problem. He was talkative, and Naiki was reserved. He was beyond bored.
"OH! Finally, we are close to the capital." He exclaimed, looking out of the carriage at the capital in the distance.
Naiki also joined him, looking out of the carriage window.
Akhil was pretty exhausted from the round of talks in the Empire. He had met the new Emperor, despite his initial reaction to his age. His demeanor was different. The man had the air of authority of an emperor. He was a mature man, skilled in talking and keeping his emotions in check.
