The Orchestrator
Almost a month ago.
It was a fine morning in the Royal Palace. The sparrows chirping and the sweet smell of freshly blooming flowers were in the air.
The palace staff were doing their work as usual, moving material and smoke billowing through the palace kitchens. The delicious smell of food was floating through the palace. They were watering the plants.
The Emperor, Krishna Deva Raya, was walking through the hallways to spend time with his eldest daughter, Lakshmi Deva Raya. He was always busy due to the piling work of the empire.
He could rarely spend time with his children and concubines. His daughter Lakshmi always made a schedule to spend time with him every month. So he usually gets notified of the time beforehand.
It was like a tradition that went on for many years. It became a part of Krishna Deva Raya's routine now to meet his daughter every month without fail.
