The security in the Qutb Royal Palace was heightened as the war with the Marathas loomed.
They were waiting for the Mughals to inform them to move towards the Marathas while preparing for the upcoming battle. Staff scrambled quickly to finish their preparations for the war supplies in the capital.
The crown prince, Aziz Shah of the Qutb sultanate, was pacing through the hallways of the palace on his way to the royal court to meet his father. He had a very ominous feeling from the start about this battle.
His hardheaded father didn't yield to his reason and put his greed above the Sultanate. The mughals weren't to be trusted. Their goal has been to take over the subcontinent for centuries; despite their many attempts, they have failed to gain proper ground in the subcontinent.
