The Izna Daily

Breaking news: The rebel group called Black Dagger was captured and arrested last night.

You all might be wondering how that is possible when just yesterday this same group claimed to have kidnap Hilal and Leon Papadopoulos and was demanding ransom? Well, wonder no more. This whole group which consists of 30 people have been single-handedly defeated by our Royal couple. We are now wondering if this whole kidnapping was planned by them just to capture this group and many more things. Fortunately, we get to ask them these questions directly as we have an exclusive interview with them scheduled later today. So keep following us for that.

"I am glad that both of you were unharmed in this incidence. You did great not only handling the situation carefully but also detonating a potential harm to both our families," Vasili said to both Leon and Hilal during breakfast in the morning after.

"The press is demanding all kind of answers and they will not rest until we give them something. So both of you are scheduled for a short joint interview with the Izna Daily after lunch. Just answer what is absolutely necessary and don't go into many details. And the public is also curious to get a glimpse of you after this, so tomorrow a public outing has been arranged for you in the central park. There is a local fair going on there. Meet and greet the people, hug some babies. It will be a good image for both our families. Understood?"

Both Hilal and Leon nodded in response. They both expected this, one of the many liabilities of being brought up in an influential family is you are always the person of interest for everybody else.

After breakfast Hilal received a call from her home.

"Yes, Anne I'm alright. They didn't hurt us or anything. Yes, I'll be more careful."

"Hilal, I know you are my strong child but a mother is always worried about her baby."

"I know Anne. Please don't worry. I'm perfectly alright." Hilal assured her mother.

"Are your inlaws being good to you? I can't help but worry marrying you off in such a condition."

"They are very kind to me Anne. Especially Leon's mother is very caring towards me."

"That's a relief. If there is any problem you'll tell me the first thing okay?"

"Okay Anne, I will. Where is Baba?"

"He is here now. Talk to him." Azize transferred the phone to Cevdet.

"My daughter, I heard everything from Mehmet last night. I'm always proud of your quick thinking."

"Thank you, baba."

"But now that the rebel group threat is cleared, it's time to concentrate in other areas. I hope you are working on that."

"We have an interview today and public outing tomorrow."

"Yes, these are very good opportunities to build your image in the North. Use them wisely."

"Yes, baba. I will."

The interview was arranged in the Papadopoulos mansion living room. The interviewer was an elderly male but he seemed too excited and extra chatty. He was informed that he only has 15 minutes to ask his questions. After they all were seated the reporter began his questions.

His first question was directed to Leon.

Reporter: How did you plan to capture the rebel group?
