Chapter 503 Are You Threatening Me, Your Majesty?



[If she told him about how I eavesdropped on their conversation, does this mean she disclosed how she trashed me and my friends?... If that is true then how will His Majesty view me now?]

Tiffany was more worried about what Kayden thought of her than anything else.

At that moment she wished the ground would just open and swallow her up. That way she won't have to deal with this embarrassment.

"Did she also tell you...,"

"I didn't have you brought here for a chitchat neither was it because I was dying of boredom," Kayden cut in fiercely.

He turned his back to her almost in an instant.

Silence engulfed the quiet environment making it even quieter.

"Have you ever wondered why I never dealt with you and your mean friends despite all the despicable things you did to Joan?" He asked out of the blue, his right hand stuck in his trousers pocket.

"Hmm...," She trailed and walked forward so that she was standing beside him.

"I bet you couldn't afford to mistreat me because of that fool who is nothing but everyone's punching bag," Tiffany replied and flipped her hair to the back, her neck cocked to the side.

"Also apart from being unable to deal with me because of my family's influence I believed you couldn't bear to do that due to the connection we shared all these years...,"

"Are you trying to say that the King of Twipera Kingdom was scared of a mere Prime Minister whom he could easily crush with a snap of the finger?" Kayden seethed, his murderous glares directed at the lady by his side.

"T-t-that...," Tiffany panicked on discovering that her words made Kayden lose his cool.

"That was not what I meant Your Majesty," Tiffany muttered. She was able to compose herself at last.

"Then what were you insinuating if not that you meant you were untouchable because of Mr Martinez's influence in court?" He quizzed.

"Also point of correction, I didn't deal with your insolent cousin and his friends while I let you ladies go because of Mr Martinez or your family's influence," He stated and moved to stand in front of her.

He stuck his other hand in his trouser's pocket and lowered his gaze. 

"I was able to lock up his only grandson and the sons of his followers for six months without any of them doing anything, do you think I wouldn't have been able to do the same with you if I wanted?" He questioned, his expression chilly just like his words.

"If that wasn't the reason then why did you spare us?" Tiffany asked in a polite tone.

She has always taken pride in her family's influence in the Kingdom. She believed as long as she was the granddaughter of Mr Martinez and her father's daughter, she would always get away with whatever she does.

It baffled her to know that her family's influence wasn't the reason Kayden let them go scot-free.

"Because I wanted her to be the one to take revenge on you girls," He blurted carefreely.

"I had just the perfect way to make you ladies pay dearly for all the atrocities you committed against her. I must say that I was a bit reluctant when I chose to leave punishing you and your friends to her...," He let his words linger as his cold gaze moved from Tiffany's hair downwards.

As he accessed her from head to toe he couldn't resist chuckling when he saw the mess she was at the moment.

"But I must say it's quite gratifying to see the assailant become the victim of the same act she meted out on weak people," Kayden stated without sugarcoating his words.

"Your Majesty, do you mean you are happy that imbecile did this to me and my friends?" Tiffany was too flabbergasted to speak.

"Her name is Joanna Anderson. She is gonna become the Queen soon so it's high time you start addressing her properly," He mumbled.

"Also, I learned you are well-versed with the rules and regulations of the palace. I wonder whether you still remember what was the punishment for disrespecting the Queen or any member of the royal household," He narrowed his eyebrows as he stared at the trembling lady who seemed to have understood the hidden message behind his question.

"I don't care about how you stumbled about the truth of my fake identity and neither will I force you to keep it a secret," Kayden started in a meek tone.

The gentleness in his voice as he spoke would make one mistake him for a nice person not knowing he was just getting started.

"You have the choice to do whatever you want with the secret you discovered. You can decide to reveal it or let it remain a secret as it is....," He trailed off.

For a minute there Tiffany thought she really had the choice to decide what to do with the secret she found out until he concluded his sentence.

"But I can't help but wonder whether you and your entire family will be able to handle the consequences of your actions perhaps you decided to reveal it...will any of you be able to come out of this alive...,"

"Are you threatening me, Your Majesty?" Tiffany asked, but she dared not sound rude no matter how enraged she was.

No matter how willful she was she knew that the man standing in front of her was the King. She dare not misbehave in front of him.

"That depends on how you interpret it," He replied nonchalantly.

He strolled away with his hands still kept in his trouser's pockets.

"For so many years I have done everything to make sure that you turned around and look in my direction...," Tiffany murmured, her clasped fist hidden behind her.

"I have loved you ever since we were children. Because I wanted to be a partner worthy to stand beside you, I took my martial arts more seriously than any other lady in the Kingdom. And when you became the King, I buried myself in history books....," Tiffany trailed.
