Bhima was making his way back from a busy round of visits to various noble houses, all part of his role as the Nayakas' heir. This role was crucial for supporting the youngest prince, even if it was just a cover.
The recent events at the Shekhar mansion had marked a major change in Bhima. After intense training and constant learning, he had discovered that he had inherited his father's combat skills and strategic mind. The experience had transformed him. Where he once felt overshadowed and powerless, he now saw the value of strength and influence.
His initial resentment towards the incident at the mansion had slowly faded. He realized that if he hadn't faced those challenges, he might still be ineffective and unable to protect his family or their interests. This realization deepened his understanding of the necessity of power and influence. This helped him appreciate his role in the prince's plans.
