"Could they be responsible for the killings happening here?" Kyle made a wild guess.
Yes, this is not the first or second time they have discovered that the human world had sent their people to spy on them.
But why did the killings have to happen at the exact time they sent their experts?
This couldn't be a mere coincidence, right?
"There is a possibility they might have a hand in it and there is another possibility that they are not responsible for it so you guys should be careful while investigating," Tom advised.
He turned his focus to the door when he heard a knock. The lady didn't wait to be ushered in.
She walked into the vast office noticing that Tom was on a call.
"I will send the details of the spies the moment we get the information on who they are," Tom said. He placed his index finger on his lips when the tall lady in a red suit reached where he sat.
"Ok, I will relay that to His Majesty," Kyle winked at Amos as he spoke.
"I was busy…,"
"Wait a minute. I have something to ask you…,"
"Since when did our naughty Kyle have to ask for permission before he speaks?" Tom said playfully.
"You know me way too well hehe…," Kyle chuckled. There was a slight chuckle also at the other end.
"I wanted to know why you called me instead of Chris or His Majesty," Kyle said after their laughter had died off.
"You and I know that His Majesty must be too busy to have time for us. And as a friend who wants him to be happy, how could I have the heart to disturb him?" Tom said not giving a damn that the lady in front of him was listening to their conversation.
"Ooh…," Kyle remarked, resisting the urge to burst out laughing.
"Also, I called Chris but there was no response from his side. I could only guess that he was busy or in a place not convenient for him to talk," he concluded meekly.
"I don't know about Chris but I believe His Majesty is not too busy to have time for us since he is beside me right now…,"
"Hey, you set me up, Kyle!" Tom shouted, jerking to his feet.
"You should have known better not to bad-mouth His Majesty in his absence," Kyle laughed at the end of his sentence.
He handed over the cell phone to Amos.
"Tom…,"
"Your Majesty, I was just rooting for you and Miss Joanna and also looking forward to when I will get to officially call her sister-in-law. I wasn't badmouthing you as Kyle said," Tom hurried to explain. He tried to stabilize his breathing while waiting for Amos' response.
"Didn't you say the biggest advantage you have is that I can't kick your ass even if you upset me so why are you sounding so terrified huh?" Amos playfully asked.
Tom could finally breathe again after noticing from Amos' voice that he wasn't angry.
"Yeah, that is the advantage I have that others over there don't have," He smiled. He strolled to his desk.
"We will see whether that is true when I make a trip there," Amos replied grinning.
His words caused Tom to halt in his tracks, "You are coming over here?" Tom asked with widened eyes.
"For this to be possible we need to tackle the problem at hand, don't you think so?" He asked.
The lady standing at the centre of the room walked to where Tom stood.
"While we tackle things here, ensure that we don't become the humans' target over there. Also, keep me updated about the three mysterious beings you mentioned last time," Amos said seriously.
Kyle's smile faded the moment Amos brought up business.
At the moment they have way too many problems to resolve.
It's not like they were free of problems in the past but never had they have to resolve so many problems at the same time.
He couldn't help but conclude that the masterminds deliberately targeted them from all sides to make things difficult for them.
"I will do just that so you don't have to worry. Give all your attention to our sister-in-law…,"
"Is that his Majesty?" The lady by his side finally spoke, realising that the conversation was coming to an end.
"Irene was there with you?" Kyle and Amos chorused while exchanging puzzled glances.
"His Majesty is busy…,"
"Give the phone to me," Irene snatched the cell phone from Tom. She didn't give him the chance to disconnect the call like he had wanted to.
"Your Majesty, it's so nice to finally get to talk to you after a long time," Irene said smiling.
"Because Bro is the only one who has direct access to you lately, he has been stingy about letting me speak to you…,"
"That's not true so don't slander me ok," Tom interrupted in the background.
"I hope you are doing well over there?" Irene ignored Tom's words and went ahead to speak.
It has been a long time since she had this rare opportunity and she won't let it pass by because of her brother.
"I am fine. And how are you, Irene?" Amos asked.
"Very well, Your Majesty," Irene said beaming.
Tom stood in a corner and watched his sister talk and smile at every word like she was speaking to her lover.
"Weren't you fun of calling him Brother Kayden even after he became the King so why are you referring to him as His Majesty?" Kyle quizzed softly.
"I realised that I need to get used to calling him by the correct title if I don't want to get into trouble with everyone in the Kingdom," Irene replied meekly.
"What does that mean?" Kyle asked, exchanging secret glances with Amos.
"I will be coming to the Kingdom very soon…,"
"What!" Kyle shouted in bewilderment.
"You must be very happy right?" Irene questioned. Her smile broadened as she turned and leaned against Tom's desk.
[Is her return a happy thing? I doubt that]
Kyle was lost in thought that he forgot to reply to Irene's question.
"Kyle, if you are not going to talk can you hand over the phone to Brother Kayden… No, I mean His Majesty," She quickly corrected herself.
Kyle blinked twice and composed himself
"His Majesty had something to do so he had already left?" Kyle lied, his gaze not moving from Amos' face.
