October 1662
"Your Highness, the foreign visitor has come once again. He is seeking your audience." A black African man wearing ornamental clothes decorated with various feathery embellishments bent respectfully in front of a grey-haired old man.
The old man, although his face was wrinkled and his body a little thin, had eyes that were still very energetic. No one could tell that those were the eyes of an old man of 52 years of age.
Kimbugwe Kamegere is the king of the Kingdom of Buganda, one of the kingdoms that cooperated with the Bharatiya Empire in order to crack down on the slave catchers coming from the northern part of the continent.
Kimbugwe, hearing the message from his subordinate, immediately straightened his back and leaned forward. His whole demeanour changed. "Is it the same person who came last time?" he asked with a serious expression on his face.
"Yes, Your Highness, it's the same person," he answered. It could be seen that he was very nervous.
