"Mum…," Laura was lost at what to say to comfort her mother. Even she was in this same situation. To keep Rafael, her mate alive she dared not confront Joanna.
Just like her mother she was lost at what to do to save herself from her evil stepsister's clutches.
As Laura and her mother were still lamenting over their plights, Joanna appeared in the university's ladies' restroom.
"Gosh, that was close," Joanna gasped. She stepped out of the cubicle and stopped in front of the mirror.
Realising that her hair's parting was a mess, she stood in front of the mirror and rearranged her hair.
After she was done, she walked out of the lady's restroom and stepped onto the long pathway.
Meanwhile, as Joanna was hastening to meet up with her class Kayden now wearing his disguise was seen opening the door of his room to go out.
"How come you are here?" Kayden asked the instant he set eyes on the tall handsome guy standing in front of his door.
Without wasting a minute he extended his right hand, grabbed the guy in a blue shirt and pulled him into the room.
He stepped out of the room and surveyed the area to make sure that none was in sight.
Kayden returned to his room after making sure that everywhere was safe.
"Didn't I tell you not to show up around me during my one-month absence?" Kayden demanded on reaching the sitting room where the guy stood.
"Your Majesty…," Kayden's fierce glares made Gideon abruptly pause what he wanted to say.
"I meant Sir," Gideon corrected himself, recalling that Kayden forbade them from addressing him as the King after he left.
"I tried to contact Chris to update him about the daily reports but I couldn't get through to him. I had no choice but to come here myself…,"
"What was so important that you couldn't wait for him to get back to you?" Kayden cut in sharply.
"What if someone saw you?... Wouldn't that give away the fact that I am still in the Kingdom?".
"I made sure that I wasn't followed…,"
"And how sure are you about that?" Kayden questioned, not calming down the slightest bit.
Gideon lowered his head without replying.
Although he made sure none knew about his whereabouts when he departed from the palace last night. And went as far as roaming the streets the entire night to cut off anyone who was on his tail, he didn't know how sure he was that his plan worked.
Also, he could understand why the King was so scared about anyone discovering his identity.
Apart from the trouble that will arise among the ministers, his vacation and plans to win over Joanna's heart will come to a premature end.
As a King getting this much freedom is rare and that is why maybe he would have reacted more than Kayden if he was in the King's shoes.
"So what was so urgent you had to report that you couldn't wait for Chris to get in contact with you?" Kayden asked as he strolled to the couch and sat on the golden colour couch with his legs crossed.
"Tom called yesterday, about an hour after I received his email," Gideon said as he proceeded to stand at the back of the couch opposite the one Kayden sat on.
He dared not sit while making a report without the King's permission.
"He sent an email and also went as far as calling?" Kayden asked. "That is so unlike him. Did something happen over there?".
"There is a new development over there in the human world. He wanted to make sure we received the information as soon as possible," Gideon amplified.
"There is a new development over there?" Kayden asked, adjusting the way he sat on the couch.
He couldn't bring himself to lean on the couch after sensing the urgency in Gideon's tone.
"Why? What happened? Did the prime minister's men see through our plans?" Kayden demanded.
"He called to inform us that his men in charge of protecting the fake you over there are being followed by some mysterious beings," Gideon explained calmly.
After he finished talking he pulled off the blue hoodie he wore and started unbuttoning his shirt.
"What are you trying to do and what did you mean by they were followed by mysterious beings?" Kayden asked not understanding what Gideon was up to.
The fact that he was taking off his clothes baffled him.
"He said the beings which are keeping an eye on you over at the human's world are neither humans, vampires or werewolves. They are a set of being with unparalleled magical powers…,"
"Beings with magical powers?" Kayden asked, jerking to his feet.
"This was the content of his email. I had to print it out to show it to you," Gideon said as he shoved his right hand into his shirt he had unbuttoned until it was remaining the two last buttons.
He brought out a medium size envelope and walked closer to the King's couch.
He handed the brown envelope over to Kayden.
"Did you have to go as far as hiding it underneath your clothes?" Kayden asked as he stretched his hand to collect the envelope from Gideon.
"Holding it in a briefcase or my hands would have attracted unnecessary attention. Also, I had no choice but to protect it this way since it contains classified information," replied Gideon.
He walked three steps backwards after handing the envelope to Kayden.
Kayden unsealed the envelope and brought out the two documents inside the envelope.
Apart from the medium size envelope, there was also another envelope and a document inside.
"So apart from the skilled assassins his family own he also has under his possessions men with magical powers… I must say I underestimated the senile old man," Kayden said dropping the bigger envelope and the document on the centre table.
He proceeded to open the smaller envelope.
"The mysterious beings are not the prime minister's men. Tom confirmed that before he sent the email," Gideon's words made Kayden take his eyes off what he was doing.
"If they are not the prime minister's men then who sent them?" Kayden asked his attention fixated on Gideon's face.
