Chapter 168: Weapon Testing: Grenade and Guncotton

The morning sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows over the open field as Rishabh approached in excitement with a wooden crate in his arms.

As he neared, he saw Mathew inspecting the testing field. Aditya and Meenakshi behind the cannon at safe distance as they witnessed the bombardment.

Rishabh greeted them with enthusiasm," Good morning senhor," he said with a broad smile. "It's good to see you so warm and enthusiastic at the start of the day" 

Mathew, being serious jotting down the results in his slate, nodded but didn't smile. "Morning" he acknowledged. "I trust you've brought everything I asked for?"

"Yes, senhor," Rishabh replied in a measured tone under Mathew's sharp gaze. He then shifted his focus toward Aditya and Meenakshi, bowing slightly as he approached them. "Prince Aditya, Princess Meenakshi, it's a pleasure to serve you, again."

Aditya responded with a nod, while Meenakshi offered a gentle smile of acknowledgment.
