Chapter 124: Cries of Villagers

Rewari kingdom, Khera village , Morning of 8th march 1557

With the morning sun shining brightly, Prince Aditya and Princess Meenakshi rode at the head of their small cavalry. Aditya, clad in a white kurta pajama, radiated regal authority, while Meenakshi, in a vibrant saree, added her own grace and elegance. Bheem, Aditya's personal royal guard, followed closely behind, leading the rest of the force. Unbeknownst to them, a shadow trailed from a safe distance.Their destination was the village of Khera, a short distance from Bawal Fort. With shining armors and precise two column formations they followed the duo. 

As they approached Khera, an unsettling feeling took hold. Outside the village border, new local recruits trained with normal cross bows practising their marks in open spaces. The guards at entrance saluted as they gave way for their group to pass.
