The Sun and the other arrived at the location where the ship had sunk and immediately observed the extensive damage to the vessel. It was clear that locating anything would be challenging. Raaj stated, "I told you the ship is ruined, and you won't find anything." Sun firmly responded, "You're correct, but I absolutely cannot understand why the pirates decided to sink the ship after stealing the goods. It doesn't make sense to me."
Sun demanded to know what items had been on the ship. Raaj explained that the vessel was transporting gold, expensive alcohol meant for the capital city, as well as other imported goods. Sun pressed further, "What measures were put in place to secure such valuable cargo during transport?"
Raaj confidently replied that he had already hidden all the important items in a secure location on the ship. Additionally, he had positioned numerous soldiers and merchants on board to ensure their safety.
The Sun responded, "Good, you're doing well for the sake of good, but why didn't you assign another ship to protect this one?" Raaj responded, "I had no idea the pirates were going to attack because we had already paid them according to royal law."
Sun says everything is fine, but you should find out what Prerna told you right away. Raj agrees, and they depart from there.
Sun and Prerna were at the mansion, talking about the pirate and the ship. Prerna questioned, "What did he discover?" Sun responded, "He doesn't know anything right now, but he'll figure something out soon." As Sun and Prerna were conversing, a maid entered and informed them that Governor Aman had invited them to his daughter Indumati's birthday celebration. Prerna nodded, signaling the maid to leave. Sun then asked Prerna, "What are your thoughts?" What kind of person is the governor, and why did he call us?
Prerna responds that she met him once as a child and that he is a good man who is quick to catch lies. He understands who is lying to him and who is telling the truth. And if he catches someone lying, he adds them to his "dictionary," regardless of who they are, and he never helps them. Many high-ranking officials fear him. My advice is to be respectful and avoid lying in front of them. If you discuss this incident with them, they may be able to assist you.
Sun and Prerna attended the governor's daughter Indumati's birthday party that night, where they met a number of high-ranking officials and prominent businessmen. Prerna noticed Raaj at the party and approached him. They spoke with Raaj for a while, and then Raaj introduced Sun and Prerna to several important people. Sun met many high-ranking officials and wealthy people that day, but they all looked at him strangely because everyone at the party was aware that Sun had not received any blessings, and many were mocking him. When Charles, Sun's grandfather's business rival, met him, he and his son Charles Jr. indirectly mocked him, calling him a troublemaker who was causing unrest because no one knew Sun's father. They also mocked Sun's mother, claiming that even the gods and goddesses had refused to bless him due to his disruptive behavior.
Sun was enraged after hearing insulting remarks about himself and his family, but Prerna intervened and addressed Charles and his son, Charles Jr. Prerna stated, "Even though Sun knows little about his father, he is better than you." Prerna went on, "You, Charles, are a so-called high-class man, and your dear son, who behaved inappropriately with the maid, attempted to buy her silence for fear of being caught. When she refused to accept the money, he killed her, and you paid money to so many officers to save your son
