|| 1655 Vedic Calendar, three months and two weeks after the New Year ||
It had been a few days since the naval battle in the Arabian Sea had concluded. On the very day the battle ended, Vijay received news of their victory mere hours after the conflict, thanks to a sloop dispatched directly from the battlefield. "Hahahah," Vijay exclaimed, filled with excitement upon hearing of the Empire's triumph. The reinforcement from the Ottoman Empire had loomed like a sword over the Empire's naval ambitions. Now that this threat had been vanquished, Vijay could redirect his attention toward expanding the Navy and challenging the lingering naval existence of the Mughal Empire.
A flame of ambition burned in his eyes as he clenched his fist, awaiting the moment he would sever all the roots of prosperity for the Mughal Empire, The roots of prosperity that had infiltrated his motherland like a parasite.
