Kayden abandoned everything and ran around the forest in search of Joanna.
He ran around the forest like someone who had lost his mind.
While doing this the only name on his lips was only her name. "Joan, I beg you if it's a prank I accept defeat so come out already. Stop scaring me hmm," Kayden said miserably.
He looked around expecting Joanna to jump out from her hiding place with a triumphant smile on her face to showcase the success of her prank.
Behold there was no one in sight despite all these.
"It can't be a dream. No, I forbid our reunion to be a dream," Kayden chanted these words before he resumed running again.
Meanwhile, as Kayden was losing his mind searching for Joanna in the vast forest, in the Queen Mother's chambers, she was seen sitting on the dining table with a frown on her face.
She turned and stared at her right-hand side when she heard footsteps.
She waited for the approaching figure to reach the dining table.
"Is he here now?" She asked hopefully.
Despite that Tracy's fallen expression had already hinted to her about the outcome she still wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth.
"He sent his men to deliver the same words he has been saying for the past six months," Tracy said meekly.
Although she felt bad for the Queen Mother who had been waiting for the King to show up so that they could eat breakfast, she dared not make her feelings visible.
The Queen Mother will only end up punishing her with the offence of pitying her if she dared show on her face that she felt bad for her.
The next things Tracy heard were the clanging and shattering of plates and spoons on the tiled floor.
"How dare he stood me up once again," The angry Queen Mother now standing said with a clenched fist.
"He should be happy that I got rid of a girl who should have caused him trouble in the future so what gives him the guts to treat me this way just because he realised that I was involved in her death?"
The Queen Mother was so furious that she forgot to filter her words like she has been doing for so long.
"Our spy informed me earlier that the King left after ordering the royal kitchen to prepare tasty dishes befitting for a Queen," Tracy relayed the news with hopes of getting the Queen Mother's anger eased even the tiniest bit.
"Apart from that he also told me that His Majesty ordered his personal maid, Josephina to purchase ladies' dress of top qualities…," Tracy trailed to make sure that the Queen Mother was following the point she was trying to make.
"Everyone knows that the closest woman to the King in the Kingdom right now is Young Miss Tiffany…,"
"Are you trying to tell me that he did all these for Tiffany?" Queen Mother asked. Her face lights up at the mere thoughts of reclaiming her authority in the palace.
"The spy made me understand that the King was in a hurry when he left. He almost had Chris beaten up by the guards..,"
"Is this true?" Queen Mother Theresa asked, wanting a confirmation.
Instead of a glimmer of hope she could see a bright light descending on her.
[Does this means that Tiffany has made a breakthrough in her pursuit]
The Queen Mother could not resist smiling at the thought of making one of her people become the Queen of the Kingdom.
"Yes, Your Highness. I believe our spy would never lie about such important news knowing very well what the consequences will be if later proved that he lied," Tracy assured her firmly.
"I recall Tiffany telling me last night that she had an appointment with the King, I strongly believe that your guess is correct," Queen Mother Theresa said as she walked away from the dining table.
"I can see I didn't spoil her all these years for nothing. She didn't let me down just like she promised".
"Have the maids clean the mess up," Queen Mother ordered when she got a glimpse of the mess she had caused.
"Yes, Your Highness," Tracy replied. She turned and signalled one of the maids waiting on the Queen Mother to tidy up the mess the Queen Mother made.
"Call Tiffany to give her heads up about the surprise the King has prepared for her so that she will act accordingly," The Queen Mother ordered in a stern tone.
"Also, tell her to also buy a gift for the King too. She can present it to him while pretending like it was fate that made them think alike".
"I will deliver all that Your Highness has said to Young Miss Tiffany," Tracy said firmly.
When the Queen Mother didn't seem to have any urgent task for her, Tracy left to relay the Queen Mother's message to Tiffany.
Back at the forest, Kayden kept on running around the forest tirelessly. He didn't care how many times he had run past the same place.
All he wanted was Joanna and as long as he could find her everything else was meaningless to him.
Kayden was still running aimlessly when he came across a river in the forest. He had already run past but only for him to retrace his steps when he spotted a figure inside the water.
On taking a closer look at the person he recognized it to be Joanna. "Why is she trying to commit suicide?" Kayden muttered.
Without wasting any time he appeared close to the mouth of the river.
The figure inside the water was too focused on what she was doing to notice that a second party was around.
The sudden splashing of the water startled her so she turned around to see what happened.
To Joanna's bewilderment, she saw someone emerge from under the water.
Her eyes almost fell out of their socket when she lowered her gaze and saw the spot Kayden was holding.
Joanna screamed eyes widened with terror.
