"Besides, I am not the one who said those words. If you have a problem with what she said then go and tackle her, that is if you dare," said Joanna in a playful tone.
She started walking away.
Kayden reluctantly followed her. "She indeed said those words and as such, she is the one I am supposed to have problems with but you didn't refute her," said Kayden walking beside her.
Joanna halted and tilted her head in his direction.
"Do you know the three people I can't win over in an argument?" Joanna looked into his eyes as she spoke.
"And who are those, I hope I am included in the list…,"
"If you were not on the list then I don't think the remaining two would be qualified to be on the list," Joanna started.
"You are the first person I can't win over in an argument. And this is because your shamelessness is something I can't beat at the moment although I am still learning to do that," Joanna said. The hooting just above her head made her raise her gaze.
On the tree branch, she stood under an owl sat hooting.
She resumed walking almost immediately without harming the bird.
"And who are the remaining two?" Kayden asked, his eyes narrowed as he stole a glance at her face.
"Do you even need to ask to know?" Joanna questioned. She disappeared from where she stood in a flash.
"I am afraid we are not gonna make it back to the Kingdom the entire night if we keep up with this pace," Joanna informed. She vanished from where she stood once again and resurfaced some distance away.
"Wait up," Kayden's eyes turned crimson red. He vanished from where he stood only to reappear beside her.
Together they made their way back. With the aid of their powers, they retraced their steps quickly.
Joanna and Kayden didn't return to the Kingdom directly but they headed to the hut first to get the shirtless Kayden dressed up.
As they headed back home Joanna struck up a conversation with Kayden.
"So who were those men after your life earlier?" Joanna started in a cool tone. "Do you have a clue to who they are or do you need my…,"
"They are the Prime Minister's Family trained assassins," Kayden replied carefreely. His words made Joanna stop in her tracks.
"If you knew that they were that senile old man's men then why did you kill them? You could have used them as evidence…,"
Kayden stopped walking and spun to look at her. "Because keeping them alive is useless. No matter how much you tortured them they wouldn't utter a word," Kayden said firmly. He continued walking and this time around it was Joanna's turn to try catching up to him.
"Judging from your words that means this was not their first attempt right?" Joanna asked.
Merely learning that the senile old man has been attempting to assassinate Kayden made her blood boil in rage.
Even she couldn't understand why she was this angry.
"Not only him but the family of the boys responsible for what happened to you that night now hates me to the core…," Kayden trailed as he turned left when he got to the intersection.
"Anyways, I can't blame them for becoming more hostile towards me after what their sons went through in my hands. In fact, I should be happy that apart from the Prime Minister other families are not bold enough to murder the King".
It sounded from his words as though Kayden was benevolent but only the likes of Kyle, Tom, Gideon and Chris knew that the King was nowhere close to being benevolent.
"I knew the senile old man never liked you in the past and that is why I was stunned to see him acting so docile that night," Joanna said smiling.
Anytime she recalled the defeated expression of the Prime Minister on the day of her showdown, she always felt happy.
"What exactly did you do to make them hate and fear you so much at the same time?" The corner of her eyes lit in anticipation as she waited for his response.
"You will know what happened sooner than you think so be patient," Kayden dashed Joanna's hope with his brief sentence.
"You are being stingy once again…," Kayden vanished before she caught the chance to grab him and force him to spill the beans.
"I won't see you at your gate today," Kayden's voice echoed in the dark. Thank goodness they hadn't reached the residential area or else he would have woken up the entire neighbourhood.
"Don't stay up late gazing at my picture because you couldn't stop thinking of me. Remember you have classes in the morning," Kayden's voice resounded in the air even though he was nowhere to be seen.
"He is such a narcissist. The woman who marries him will be in serious trouble," Joanna muttered. She vanished into the air almost immediately.
Thanks to her foresight she didn't run into the bunch of annoying people called her family.
She freshened up and went to bed. As she went to sleep all she could think about was the fun and exciting things that happened that day.
Joanna woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. As she went about her daily routine there was a lingering smile on her face; something none in the household had noticed before.
That morning she had tried her best not to let anyone or anything ruin her perfect mood. But seeing the smug look on Laura's face as she descend the stairs she knew that the little devil waiting for her in the middle of the room was up to no good.
"There is a certain daughter of a mistress who thinks that she is somebody important…," Laura said as she gave a dirty look at Joanna.
"But I know her peaceful days will soon be over since grandma is coming soon," Laura's smile broadened when she saw Joanna abruptly stop in her tracks.
"The old hag is coming?" Joanna asked with a dropped jaw.
