The news reached them through Khal's subordinates. Ayen rarely cared about the reports about the war. When they were in the submarine, he sometimes saw Khal reading or listening to these reports.
Now, someone was reporting in person.
Khal and Devion had just returned from the forbidden zone.
It was news about the green zone falling into the hands of the clan, one with strategic value. Ayen was merely listening until the point when the person bowed his head as though guilty.
"The target has been captured by a direct descendant of the Nevaris Clan. We extremely apologize for this failure." His tone was slow and remorseful.
Khal frowned slightly. Devion turned to Ayen when he heard the mention of the Nevaris Clan. Ayen's expression did not show anything yet, but quickly hardened when he realized who they were talking about in the end.
Ayen stared at Khal. "They captured who? " His expression was calm, but there was a flicker of deep emotion in his eyes.
