"How dare that idiots think she can deceive me right under my nose?" She roared and hits the wooden table in front of her.
Because she failed to control her strength the table cracked into two.
Tracy stared at the broken table. She knew without any doubt that she would be next in line if she didn't handle her emotions well.
With her head lowered she moved to where the elderly woman sat. She tried her best to look unfazed.
"Your Highness, I knew that none at His Majesty's quarter will divulge the secret of his whereabouts to you. They are not only tight-lipped but they are bound by his loyalty to him...,"
"I bet that cunning son of mine must have ordered them not to utter a word to me before he left," The Queen Mother spat, her fist clasped.
She glared at the portrait of Kayden hung on her white wall.
"He must suspect me and wants to catch me unawares, that is why he decided to keep his current whereabouts a mystery...," She retorted.
She felt like tearing the portrait into pieces but she tried to control her anger. It will do her no good if she disrespects the King by tearing off his portrait.
The malicious people might try to use that against her if they got wind of it.
"But I won't give him what he wants. I will make sure that the sly Prime Minister and the other ministers are solely on my side. That is exactly what he will see when he returns," She smirked devilishly.
"I will order our men to keep on monitoring them. I believe sooner or later they will let some information slip without realising it," Tracy gave the angry Queen Mother her words.
"Since our men in the Human world have sent a secret message that he has left their world that means we only need to know his time of return. We can't afford for him to get wind of what we are planning," She muttered.
"I know and I believe I will fully regain my foothold as long as my plan to make Tiffany the Queen works," Queen Mother Theresa stated.
She looked quite anxious compared to the composed lady she always is.
[Not only did he stop obeying me after that incident but he became a different person; a scary person. I might be his mother but he is still the King; the one who orders the greatest authority at the moment. I need to be careful of him and that is why I can't let him know my plans no matter what]
Queen Mother Theresa was troubled as she sat there.
The Queen Mother soon shook the disturbing thoughts off her mind when she noticed she was drifting away from the matters at hand.
"So when did Tiffany say she would be arriving?" Queen Mother Theresa changed the topic.
She released her folded hands and lifted them to the top of the broken table.
"I know I have watched her grow up ever since she was born. I have indulged her several times but right now I need to start grooming her for the position of Queen. It has been a long time since I chose her as the King's woman and I believe this is the perfect time to train her so that she can assume her position," She mumbled in a serious tone.
"I am sorry to inform you that she won't be coming today," Tracy announced the bad news with her head bowed lowered than she always did.
She braced herself to welcome whatever will come away.
"And what do you mean by that?" Queen Mother raised an eyebrow.
"Did her grandfather stop her from visiting the palace?... Has he decided to go against me again?" She roared, not able to control her inner frustration.
"No, the maid who picked up the call informed me that Miss Tiffany was ill...,"
"She is sick when she isn't a human?" Queen Mother exclaimed in a mixture of surprise and anger.
"Why did this have to happen at such a crucial time," She muttered in annoyance.
As she sat there she tried to come up with various solutions to her problems.
She was desperate since she didn't want to go back to the weak Queen Mother she was when the King was around.
The last thing she wants is to be at the King's mercy ever again.
An hour later Amos was seen entering a building which is always full to the brim at night.
Kyle, who was originally in deep thought, ran to meet Amos after he raised his gaze and saw him approaching his table.
"So how is she? Did she say she is still angry at me?" Kyle asked, his curious eyes glued to Amos' face.
"And who are you referring to as SHE?" Amos asked in confusion. "Which girl's heart did you break this time around?" Amos joked as he made his way towards the table Kyle sat at earlier.
"Your woman of course," Kyle blurted. His abrupt reply made Amos halt in his tracks in an instant. He spun and shot him a deadly glare.
"She stomped out of here after almost punching me in the eye. You are always with her so don't tell me you are not even aware of this...,"
"You are always around your women so tell me, is it everything that goes on in their lives that you are aware of?" Amos snapped.
"But...,"
"What did you mean by she left here after almost punching you in the eye?... What did you do to upset her?" He demanded fiercely.
Kyle walked sluggishly to his previous couch and sat down dejectedly.
He dropped his hands on his legs with his head lowered before he started.
"She saw Audrey and me last night. And you can already imagine what her reaction was...,"
"What!" Amos shouted, his eyes bulging out.
His gaze turned cold instantly.
"You told me confidently that you would make sure the two of you don't get caught so how on Earth did this happen?" Amos questioned in anger.
"Of course, I wouldn't have waited to get caught by her when I knew very well what would be the result if that were to happen," Kyle replied sternly.
He hasn't been able to get a wink of sleep after what happened. His mind has been preoccupied with what will become of his relationship with Audrey and solutions to resolve his current predicament.
"I don't know what method she had used but I couldn't perceive her scent and I bet that was the same with Audrey. I wouldn't have waited to get caught if that did not happen," Kyle tried to explain things more calmly.
"Joan and Audrey like each other a lot. If she is against your relationship with Audrey, I am certain you will have to kiss goodbye to her and whatever relationship you had...,"
"You are my best friend so how could you say that?" Kyle complained. "Shouldn't you be thinking of ways to help me solve this problem...,"
"And this is exactly why I told you not to get caught no matter what," Amos retorted.
"I decided not to tell her about your relationship with Audrey because I wanted the two of you to break the news to her when you were ready. I did my part but you both are the ones who screwed up so stop acting pitiful," Amos scolded seriously.
