Chapter 201: Persian plan for invasion

Safavid empire, Fort city of Isfahan , night of 11th April 1557.

Inside one of the personal chambers of Prince Khodabanda's harem, he hosted a celebratory party with a few of his trusted attendants. The air was thick with fragrance as the ladies present soothed the hearts of attendees with their charm and soft touches.

The room was dimly lit by golden lanterns hanging from placeholders on the walls that illuminated the space. Cushions embroidered with gold and deep reds filled the floor around low tables, upon which plates filled with fruits , silver goblets and golden jars were filled with wine in the flickering lamplight.
