153 Sloop Of War Pratham

Vijay is seated in his study room, jotting down ideas about how he wants to structure the Secret Service. He is also contemplating whether to formalize the organization, which has existed in the shadows away from public view, and bring it into the light. Vijay feels that this is still a debatable question. Bringing the organization into the light would make it more formalized and accountable for its actions. On the other hand, it also exposes the eyes and ears of Vijayanagara to enemy nations. The public's view is also another concern. Vijay would have to consider whether the disadvantages are worth overlooking in light of the advantages.

Vinod entered the study room and delivered the news after greeting Vijay, "Your Majesty, the four shipyards you contracted have completed their construction."
