  One of them spoke, &quot;You always refer to us as boys, Yarima Na im, but we re in our final year in the university. Or is it that you can t remember our names?&quot;
  He chuckled and shook his head, &quot;How can I not? You re Ajmad, Adil and Areef, the not so real triplets of the palace, am I right?&quot; He pointed at them in respect to their names and they all smiled as they nodded their heads. They came to a stop when they reached the junction that will lead them to their chamber and with a turn, Na im could be able to see his as well.
  They all shook hands with him, bade him a good night before they walked away and Na im turned to his direction with a soft look on his face. He liked the boys, they seemed so real and not as cunning as Sadeeq was. &quot;Captain Bolori,&quot; he heard his name called with the voice he disliked so much. Well, speaking of the devil.
