A few weeks ago...
Vijay looked at Kiran with interest. "Don't you feel disappointed, Kiran? Despite all you have done for the empire, this is how you are being repaid. Aren't you feeling betrayed?" he questioned as he sat down in front of Kiran, his expression curious.
Kiran's emotions were turbulent. Everything was fine just a few days ago, but out of nowhere, he was asked to give up half his powers. How could he not be disappointed? If it was just a commotion made by the politicians, he would normally not be so easy to concede defeat and relent his power. But he knew at the end of the day, it was His Majesty who made that decision.
