Diplomats in Europe (1/2)

13th May 1658

It has been a month and a few weeks since the diplomats of the Bharatiya Empire departed from the port of Mangalore. While there was a huge craze for the new book released by Kavya sweeping through back home, the diplomats on board the Pune-class battleship were either chatting with each other to pass the time as they did not have any entertaining novels to read or were simply staring at the approaching land with great interest.

As the land got closer, most of the diplomats got on deck, looking at everything around them with great curiosity and interest. If anyone were to look at them, no one could guess they were the people travelling for almost a month through the sea with their upbeat expressions.
