46 The Saddest News (1/2)

Sofie called Slacovich immediately the moment Volton's man was captured. He was taken to the black knight's custody and will be interrogated there. Sofie can sense the sadness on Slacovich's voice the moment she heard of it.

”Slacovich, the master hypnotist was finally captured. I'd let the black knights handle him. We can't afford to let him go and harm innocent people again.”

”That's great.” Sofie can hear Slacovich's sighs every now and then.

”Did something happen? By the way how did everything go?”

”Well, we managed to rescue Ania. But his brothers sadly, we were too late when we got there.”

”Ara must be so heartbroken. How's she's doing?” Sofie can't even hear a single breath from Slacovich. The question about Ara puts him in sorrow again. ”Tell me what's happening?”

”A--ara----- she's ...” Slacovich's trembling voice says it all.

”No w-way! Can you just tell it straight Slacovich.” Sofie's starting to feel hopeless on Ara's condition.

”Ara sacrificed her life in order to save us.” Vera snatches the phone when she saw Slacovich having a hard time telling what happened.”

”Who's this?!” Vera can sense the sudden change of Sofie's voice.

”My Queen, sorry for intervening with your conversation. But Mr. Demonfire can't even utter a single word on what happened to Ms. Ara. I am Vera, head of the black knights here in India. It's an honor to be at your bidding my queen.”

”Tell me exactly what happened?”

”Ara Khalil is gone.”

”What do you mean by gone? She can't be gone!” Sofie's voice raises making everyone in the office hear her. The news about overhearing Sofie's voice about Ara reaches Tyler and the others. They all hurried to her side to confirm the news.

”My Queen. I wasn't at the scene when it happened but the shadow guards can tell you what exactly happened.” Five shadow guards appeared inside the office.
