Chapter 384 : Funeral
In the somber setting of the Farus family camp in Mumbai, Bella knelt beside the lifeless body of the young master of the Farus family, his form concealed beneath a shroud of cotton cloth. As she carefully placed flowers over the departed soul, Leela, Princess Amara's sister, rushed toward her, a sense of urgency in her demeanour.
"What's the hurry?" Bella inquired, her voice calm but curious as she noticed Leela's haste.
Leela, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, couldn't contain her excitement. She dragged Bella aside and began speaking in excited tone. "Bella, you guessed correctly. The Aries family forces have set their sights on Das. Reports indicate that more than ten thousand soldiers are marching toward Das's palace."
A mischievous smile tugged at the corners of Bella's lips, though she made an effort to maintain a respectful demeanour in the midst of the funeral proceedings. "Good... that's really good news. Das is definitely doomed this time. Let's his dead body will come to collect the half a billion dollar cash and the patriarch blood."
Bella's thoughts shifted to Princess Amara, who was also part of the Aries family, and her concerns about the news reaching her. She questioned Leela, trying to keep her amusement in check. "By the way, did you manage to prevent the news from reaching your sister, as we discussed?"
Leela nodded confidently, her eyes filled with determination. "Yes, I did exactly as you said. My sister won't get even a whiff of that news."
As they exchanged these words in the midst of a solemn occasion, the two women harboured secrets and plans that could change the course of their families' fates in the ongoing conflict between the Aries and Farus families.

A deafening explosion shook the ground, sending a shockwave throughout the battlefield. Flames roared and a thick cloud of dust enveloped the scene. The front lines of the Aries army were instantly obliterated, their bodies tossed into the air by the force of the blast. The explosion caused a domino effect, triggering other mines, and creating a deadly chain reaction.
The entrance to the palace turned into a fiery hell.
Sophia, thrown back by the blast, struggled to her feet, her ears ringing and vision blurred. Her leather armour had saved her from the brunt of the explosion, but many around her weren't as fortunate. Her first husband managed to crawl to her side, his face bloodied and clothes charred.
"We need to retreat!" he gasped, pulling Sophia to her feet.
"But where? How?" she screamed, anguish evident in her eyes as she saw her once-mighty army reduced to chaos and devastation.
The first husband couldn't answer her question. There is no retreat paths for them and the fear of more traps did lot let them move forward and back ward. The arrows are continuously raining down from the palace top, without giving them any breathing space.
The night that was supposed to be the Aries family's triumphant assault had turned into their worst nightmare. And as the fires raged and arrows flew, the fate of Sophia and her remaining forces hung precariously in the balance.
