Family Meeting
Royal Palace, Vijayanagara Empire.
The Palace atmosphere was back to normal. The desolate palace was back to life with the maids and staff working and maintaining the palace. The bloodied hallways and royal court were cleaned.
The palace guards were in position. The Palace guard, commander Saluva Narasimha, was fired from his position and replaced by Rama Nayaka due to his colluding with the Imperial faction to replace guards with their people during the battle of Hampi.
The scent of the garden flowers was tingling in the air. Blurbs of the fountain could be faintly heard in the distance.
Clear signs of preparations for the coronation ceremony could be seen in the palace. There was no speck of dust in the hallways. The gardens were neatly trimmed. Broken things were getting repaired in the palace and the capital city.
A breeze in the garden that gives you the much-needed coolness in the intense warmth of the afternoon sun.
