The worried look on the faces of his men when he entered the room made Amos guess that all was not well.
"What is it? Did other killings occur?" Amos asked without sitting down. His eyes moved from one face to another.
"A letter was recovered on one of the corpses of the humans placed in front of the palace...,"
"Another body was delivered in front of the palace even though I had the security there doubled?" Amos asked in astonishment.
"And what was the content of the letter you found?" Kyle asked as he gazed at the guy whom he had left in charge of the operation.
He reached out his hand and picked up the white envelope from where he dropped it on the table.
He passed it onto Kyle without uttering a word.
Anxious to know what was going on, Kyle opened the envelope and brought out its contents.
His expression fell as soon as he set eyes on the few words inscribed on the white paper.
"What does it say?" Amos asked. He was forced to snatch the paper from Kyle's hand when he offered no answer to his question.
"B-but..... how is this even possible?" Amos asked no one in particular. His widened expression was no different from that of Kyle's.
"Only a few people are aware that I am still in the Kingdom. I deliberately did this to prevent this situation from occurring so how did the enemies know that I never left the Kingdom?" The angry Amos threw the piece of paper to the floor.
"I was careful in this one month. I avoided things that will give my identity away so who on Earth leaked the information...,"
"A few seconds ago I didn't understand why on Earth they would leave such information on a corpse but now I do," Kyle said.
He held Amos' hand and made him turn so they faced each other.
"Their only purpose in sending us this is to make you doubt everyone....,"
"But...,"
"The enemy is in the dark while we are in the open. Although I am not sure how they got the information our priority should be to protect you from all danger," Kyle asserted.
"You need to return to the palace...,"
"And how can I do that so abruptly?" Amos cut in sharply.
"Your vacation should have ended in 1-2 days so this so not abrupt...,"
"But I gave Joan my word that she still had two weeks to spend with me. I can't go back on my words," Amos shook his head to show he was against the idea.
"Kay, I know you love her a whole lot and don't want to be away from her but this is your safety we are talking about. The Kingdom will be in jeopardy if the tiniest harm comes to you...,"
"We are not even sure whether what this letter claim is true so why should I go back on my words to the woman I love because of their threat?" Amos retorted.
"I am not scared of them...,"
"I know you are not but let's take precautions hmm?" Kyle pleaded.
"You know that the Kingdom can not afford to lose you just like she can't either. I am sure she will agree to this if...,"
"I forbid you or anyone from telling her anything about this," Amos ordered sternly.
His eyes darted from one face to the other. "Anyone who dares to disobey my royal order will have none but himself to blame, understood?" He demanded.
"Understood," everyone except Kyle chorused with their heads bowed.
"Now let's talk about the measures to take," Amos said and strolled to the couch specifically prepared for him.
Despite how serious the situation was Amos didn't forget to text Joanna and inform her that he wouldn't be able to make it to the amusement park.
Although Joanna missed having Amos around, she still had fun at the park since Raymond was with them.
In fact, his main purpose in joining the sibling's outing was to ensure Joanna had fun to the maximum and he made sure they did that.
He went as far as dropping them off at home afterwards.
"Thank you so much for everything, Raymond. I can't thank you enough for what you did today...,"
"There is no such thing as a thank you between friends so don't worry. Besides this was also my first time at an amusement park and I had a wonderful time because of you and Tony," Raymond replied.
A smile spread across his handsome face when he recalled the thrilling moments he had at the park.
"If you say so then," Joanna returned his smiles. They talk for a few minutes before Raymond finally decides to leave.
"Drive safely," Joanna said, her gaze focused on the guy handling the steering of the white car in front of them.
Raymond drove off after he had waved to them for the last time.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "Let's go. I need to pack your stuff and send you back home before your usual time of going to bed. I am afraid I will get scolded if we don't get there on time," Joanna muttered.
"You are sending me back?" Anthony asked with widened eyes.
His reaction left Joanna a bit confused. "Yes, I am sending you back home so you can reunite with your family, do you have a problem with that?" She questioned, her gaze glued on his disgruntled face.
Though he started walking away without giving her a response, Joanna still sensed his unhappiness from merely looking at him.
[I can see that Amos' suggestion that I should keep some distance from Little rice ball was not that bad after all. He loves and depends on me too much to point that it scares me that he might choose me over his parents one day]
Joanna's gaze didn't shift away from Anthony's back as she followed his lead.
The first thing Joanna did after they got to the room was called Amos' line to inform him that they were home.
"He didn't answer the line again," Joanna mumbled. She bent and dropped the phone on the centre table.
