Battle of Hampi [14]

Hampi, Vijayanagara Empire. 

Harsha was heading towards the palace. He was heading to the palace; that was most likely where Lakshmi was there to put an end to this mess. 

He entered the city of Hampi to see Bhairava speeding towards the gate of the royal palace. Harsha slowly reached the gate after a few minutes.

The palace was practically empty. All the servants were dismissed to their quarters till the battle ended and one faction took control of the Empire. He heard some screams as he walked down the hallway to the royal court. 

He could guess what was happening. It was Bhairava killing Chandra and his bodyguards. 

He saw footsteps leading to the royal court. It was likely the man in command for Chandra's army. The man was likely to be a pawn of Lakshmi.

Alfonso had mentioned Nakul in the letter and his close connection to Lakshmi and her plan. Harsha also remembered Nakul from the independent merchant group that took a road contract.
