Somehow Hasan regretted that he had not been elected sultan. Not least because he thinks Jodha is very handsome. He saw that the match between Abu and Jodha was a divine match. Nevertheless, he had some difficulty with his position as the elder brother of the sultan. When his brother sent him on a mission he was more than happy that he had a goal, but also got a share in the government of the sultanate in the form of building his own rajya (kingdom).

The father-in-law of the Sultan and Grand Vizier, Rajesh Avchat, had asked Hasan to first turn his attention to Poorajangal, which previously was called 'Phedodah'. Since the entire region was made up of dense forests, Hasan turned his attention to the strategic part: the coastal plain. This area was previously largely part of the Kingdom of Krasnocoria. To secure the Antican Sea, Hasan moved to Micobad, previously Micograd. He found very little life in the city. The city and its immediate surroundings belonged to the historic Antican region, called Platea. And at the request of the Sultan, the city and the surrounding area will again not belong to Poorajangal. The Micobad Sarkar (Aryasht: माइकोबाद सर्कार) is being set up.

Hasan had advised the Grand Vizier not to send the Arboric fleet. He would leave a small company of soldiers in the city, to resist a possible foreign invasion. The remaining population was provided with first aid and food. When he oversaw the operation from the gold building, he saw people going in and out of the house of prayer. They looked around skittishly before going in, and when they came out, they looked around first. What was going on? Hasan became curious. He called a few men together and had the house of prayer surrounded. Then Hasan himself went inside with some soldiers. The various rooms were skilfully searched, eventually he found some agitated people in the crypt. "Don't shoot!", they shouted in the Common Language. The people came out with their hands up. Behind the first people, Hasan saw an apparent family. Frightened, they stood together. Hasan recognized the man of the family, that was King Jovan I of Krasnocoria. Hasan said: "Do not be afraid, no harm will be done to you". It seemed to bring little relaxation, but Hasan organised transport for the former king and his family to Agra. The expedition unit departed south again to join the expedition unit that went west from Merku to the town of Keruliya, formerly called "Caerulea". Inland the country lived up to its name: a complete jungle, "Poora jangal" in Aryasht. The expedition unit struggled to make progress, due to the long period of unclaimed status the roads were overgrown. The local tribes made little use of motorised means of transport, but the centuries-old paths were their road network. Too narrow for Hasan's all-terrain vehicles, not to mention the bridges over rivers and streams.

Nevertheless, the expedition unit reached after their assembly point, where the other expedition unit had already set up camp. Together they left as one unit for Keruliya, the birthplace of the sultana. Hasan actually had quite high expectations of the city, but he was disappointed. There was a palace, but it needed to be refurbished. The city was vast and mostly spread out along the lake. The mystical lake that once had the name 'Lake Leve'. That name was derived from the then city of Levaprasth, which was also called Devaprasth. In Keruliya the lake was called "blue lake", because of the bright blue colour of the water and the name of the town. In short, there was no unambiguous name. Hasan got fed up with the bickering of the representatives of the communities around the lake and said: " We call the lake 'Lake Jodha', then no one has their name!" The representatives were silent about this eruption, but started to clear up after a few moments. They liked the name 'Lake Jodha'. "That's settled," Hasan concluded.
