" We are truly sorry. In the heat of the moment we didn't realize what you were feeling." Kenneth lightly bowed his head. He could see Patricia glaring at him and his brother standing next to Kate. It seemed like they managed to calm her down.
" We don't expect you to forgive us but it's only fair since Sami in first time in his life raised his voice against us." Margaret added. They never expected Samuel to snap at them telling them about their mistake. Arthur told them everything and it looked like he was right.
Samuel even made the argument to not drag others when they told them why they were so insistent on hearing her side of the story. If they were so worried they could just ask him, it's not he hid anything from them. Even if he wanted to they get regular updates of what he was doing on daily basis.
" P-please raise you head.. I-its fine." Kate on the other hand panicked. Seeing the famous figure apologize to her with sincere look was more than enough to squash the misunderstanding. They went above and beyond even bowing to someone like her.
" Don't think too deeply about it. They were wrong and just asking for your forgiveness, there was no reason for you to give it to them so easily." Patricia stated.
On any other day, Margaret would have said something but she knew Patricia was right. Next, Samuel's parents came forward and apologized too. Even if they were unsure, they should have stopped everyone.
Kate was more happy to meet them, unlike their earlier scary eyes she could see they were remorseful and there was even a hint of pity in them. She didn't know what was happening for them to change their mind so suddenly but she accepted their apologies.
Suddenly, Kate noticed there was one other person waiting at the back. The Queen came forward, she was smiling walking toward her.
" Y-your majesty." Kate didn't expect to see her up close. When they were in that room, she was sitting quite far away from her.
" I don't know what they were talking about, I was merely joking and asked you because I was interested. Even then since you went through such a experience, I will grant you one request. You don't have to think about it immediately and ask Sami to convey it to me in the future." She grabbed Kate's hand and said with a warm expression.
That's when he spotted the Queen coming out with a smile on her face, from her expression things looked good?
" Come with me. Even if she is your girlfriend, you shouldn't coddle her on every turn. Sometimes, she has to fight her own battles to realize that she is stronger than what others make her out to be." She added, knowing full well about her backstory.
She was someone who made a name out of herself and was running a successful business, what more proof one needed to say that she was strong willed woman. .net
" There was no problem?"
" I don't think so but you can find it out yourself later. For now, let's talk about something important." Samuel didn't have any chance but to follow her will. She looked serious when inviting him for a private talk.
Just as he was leaving, he saw Kate and others come out. He almost panicked seeing her face which looked messy, she was definitely been crying but right now, she looked content. Her mother was leading her and she looked happy which made him realize that it must have went fine.
He took a sigh of relief before following the Queen inside. She was right, he must give her some space and stop acting like a clingy boyfriend! She was older and much more mature than him.
" Didn't I tell you they hashed their misunderstanding?" The Queen sat down on the empty seat.
Samuel was walking toward her but suddenly stopped feeling strange presence all around him. The room was well lit but it did have some blind spots especially from where he was standing. He was confused, seeing the Queen didn't even faze because she could probably see them from her angle.
" Was it a setup? Did they sneak inside the Estate because they knew she was coming? No..that's not possible." He saw her still smiling at him. There seemed to be a hidden meaning behind it.
