In the isolated army camp of the northern port area, a brightly lit central tent stood at the heart of the formation. Within this tent, a sense of authority and power permeated the air.

At a round table adorned with intricate carvings, a young man reclined in a regal wooden chair. The flickering candlelight danced upon his sharp features, casting shadows that seemed to mirror the complexities of his thoughts. In his hand, he held a small, stylish glass of plain red wine, savouring its taste as if finding solace in its simplicity.

Across from him, a young woman sat, her mercenary attire contrasting with the elegance of the setting. Her posture was poised and her gaze unwavering, her presence commanding respect. Beside her, a plump lady with an air of authority stood, flanked by seven men whose loyal and disciplined stance attested to their readiness to serve.

As the young man took another sip of his wine, the ambiance seemed to settle into a rhythm. The presence of the seven men and the authoritative woman added an undercurrent of loyalty and readiness. Their stance, though unobtrusive, hinted at the loyalty they held for the young man and the role they played in his vision.

In the middle of the conversation the fat woman's voice boomed through the tent, carrying with it a mix of anger and frustration. "Young master, what I'm saying is the truth!" she declared, her eyes locked onto the young woman (Nyx) in mercenary clothes sitting across her.

"That fellow named Das agreed to cooperate with us. I'm taking that young man as my eighth husband. I don't know who this young woman is, but she is definitely bluffing. If you don't trust me, ask any soldier in our camp."

The Nyx's gaze remained fixed on the fat woman, her expression a mixture of bewilderment and skepticism. Beside her, the Aries family's young master Luis, who sat in the royal wood chair, took a slow sip of his red wine, his demeanour calm despite the heated exchange.

The fat woman's voice carried on, undeterred by the young woman's doubt. "That Das came alone to the army camp, and I gave him one lakh crore as dowry," she continued, her words ringing out in the tent.

"He asked me to keep our relationship with him a secret, to backstab the Farus family at a crucial point. He's playing a double game, my young master, one that could favour our family's standing and power."

The young woman's (Nyx's) brow furrowed, her mind racing to process the information she was receiving. She exchanged a quick glance with the young master, studying his attitude.

The young master's eyes held a calculating glint as he regarded the fat woman. He set down his wine glass and spoke, his voice calm and deliberate. "First, explain me everything, and leave no detail untouched," he instructed, his tone carrying an air of authority.

The fat woman took a deep breath, her anger still simmering beneath the surface. She recounted the details of her encounter with Das, the conversations they had shared, and the information she had gathered from her sources within the camp.

As the tale unfolded, the young woman's expression shifted from skepticism to doubt. The weight of the situation settled upon her, and she realized the gravity of the choices they would need to make in the face of potential betrayal.

The young master listened intently, his gaze never leaving the fat woman as she spoke. Once she had finished, he leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest.

"Nyx, what do you think about it?" The young master, Luis of the Aries family, asked the young woman before him, his gaze intent as he studied her masked face.

Nyx's eyes remained fixed on Luis, her expression serious and contemplative. She took a moment to consider her response before speaking. "There is definitely something wrong here. That guy named Das is not this simple," she replied firmly, her voice carrying a note of certainty.

Luis leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest as he absorbed Nyx's words. "You've always had a keen sense of judgment, Nyx," he acknowledged. "But we can't deny the reality before us."

Nyx nodded in agreement, her gaze unwavering as she met Luis's eyes. "Exactly. Before drawing any conclusions, I need to analyse the situation thoroughly. Let me see the CCTV footage of Das's presence in this camp. Only then can I piece together the puzzle and come to an informed conclusion."

Without another word, Luis turned his gaze towards Sophia, the stout woman who had spoken up earlier. "Sister, show her," Luis ordered with a nod, indicating the footage he believed would help to prove Sophia's claims.

Sophia let out a dismissive huff, her eyes narrowing as she glanced at her first husband who stood behind her, understanding the command. The first husband promptly retrieved a tablet from his waist and presented it to Nyx, who had positioned herself in front of the screen.

Nyx's expression remained composed as she accepted the tablet, her fingers deftly navigating the interface to access the footage in question. The images played across the screen, displaying Das's presence within the camp on that fateful night. Nyx's analytical mind immediately went to work, studying the details with a discerning eye.

With practiced precision, Nyx manipulated the playback, zooming in on Das's face, his mannerisms, and his interactions with others. Her focus remained intent on deciphering his intentions from his body language. Yet, her keen attention was not limited to visual cues alone. Nyx meticulously studied the lip movements of those in the footage, particularly Das and Sophia.

As the playback continued, Nyx's expression grew more concentrated, her mind working rapidly to piece together the puzzle before her. Each subtle nuance, every glance and gesture, held meaning for her as she attempted to extract the truth hidden beneath the surface.

Luis, where did you find this stupid lady? Nyx asked sarcastically while tossing the tablet on the table. Sophia felt burning anger after hearing her remark. She immediately closed her fist and jumped on Nyx.
