[Aditya's POV]
In less than an hour every single soldier within the walls of Sindhu had been mobilized, the air now thick with the hum of anxious energy.
"What happened?"
"Why is everyone called back?"
"Is there everything alright in the kingdom?
"If everyone is here, who's patrolling?"
Soldier started questioning among themselves seeking clarification, their voices a blend of confusion and concern. I stood at the center of the bustling courtyard, feeling the weight of the situation settle on my shoulders. The soldiers were only following orders, but their questions were valid. The tension in the air was palpable, and I needed them to focus on the task ahead.
"Hey! do you know, who's that boy?"
"Yeah, is he new here?"
"Just my thoughts, he looks too young though?"
