The deal was finally closed and they agreed to the terms. The Marathas and the Vijayanagara Empire officially became allies. Although it wasn't a strategic relationship like with the Yadava kingdom. It was still something for the Marathas to rely on in the times of hardship. The Regent of the Maratha kingdom was happy with the favorable deal they got in the alliance.
This would increase the kingdom's influence in the subcontinent. The Mughals would be reluctant to wage war or try to attack them once the news about the alliance spreads to their noble circles.
Aadarsh was quite glad about the results. He initially thought the deal would be heavily in favor of the Empire since they were the ones that needed the alliance desperately but it turned out to be the opposite.
He got all he could have asked for in the deal.
