Laws Of Royalty ✅

CH46; DOOM.

Aria slept in Aali's arms, despite having woken up just an hour ago but she was exhausted, mentally and physically.

Aali held her close to him as she slept, occasionally placing pecks on her temple while he ran his fingers through her hair, massaging her scalp every once in a while. The only time he left was to take off the jellabiya and change into some sweatshirt and pants. Before returning to bed, he had picked up his phone and dialed Fahad's number, stepping out so he could make the call and not disturb her.

Fahad picked up almost immediately, saying his salaam to which Aali responded before he went on to ask.

"What happened to the Tayyus?" Aali asked. From the minute Maya was taken and Aria was asked for questioning Aali knew something is up, so he asked Fahad to look into it after the hearing he had.

After his hearing, Fahad went to the police and bailed Maya out. He planned on clearing her case the next day because he can discredit every evidence they have against both her and Aria. While doing that, he did as Aali had asked and checked to see if Aria's parents are alright, to which he is about to give Aali the answer now because obviously they are not. Judging from the phone call Aria got that is.

"What else? The Queen made a move against you two" Fahad sighed on the other end. "This is why I told you to strike first"

Aali made his way over to the living room, shaking his head though Fahad can't see him. "Where's the fun in that? Remember, idanbakaiyakamabarawo ba tohshizaikamaka" He reminded Fahad, using a popular saying he loves to use whenever he is trying to make a point. "Besides, it's better now that she has shown me her cards. I know where exactly to strike unlike her irrational move"

Fahad let out another sigh. He knew the Prince is making sense, and he had grown quite accustomed to that over the years. "Anyways back to the Tayyus, she had somehow gotten dirt on them and is now using it to try and send them to jail"

"What sort of dirt?"

"A couple of bribes here and there"

The minute those words left Fahad's lips, Aali shook his head. "That's not possible, they are good people. She probably faked it"

"No she didn't" Fahad said, certain of what he had gotten, "They are good people but they were in a desperate situation then, so they took it. That was about twenty-five years back. From what I can tell it's been a difficult stage for the family and we both know how they managed to fare and get back on their feet all these years"

Aali didn't need Fahad to elaborate. Of course he knows how the Tayyu's were able to fare for that long. But that wasn't what piqued his interest. "How did she get something from that long?"

Fahad paused, as if he couldn't believe Aali asked him that. How did Aria got the information she want on their family? How did Aali himself get information that he wants? "Same way I get my information" He eventually replied, "All it takes is the right connection and she has it, this case in the name of Eric Moyers"

The name sounded familiar to Aali, and he didn't have to think long to remember where he knows it from. "That Interpol?" The same person that crashed Muneer and Maya's wedding.

"The one and only" Fahad said, proving to Aali that what he said is indeed true. "He had worked with them for a while and you know the Interpol, they dig to make sure you are clean before they work with you. The organization deemed them clean but Eric did some digging on his own and found out the ugly truth"

So Eric is working with the Queen, Aali knew that much. Hence, why he didn't care to find out how he crashed the party then. It was simple, the Queen and her nephew, Muneer staged the whole thing and if Aria wasn't there, then Maya couldn't have gotten out of the situation even if Aali and Fahad decided to help.
