?


    "Some of the rumours flying say the reason he left the pce is that he is sick. I deemed you the right person to know this since you are always with him ever since he left the pce...," Audrey paused to catch her breath.


    "Have you ever noticed any signs that showed he is unwell or has he ever let the truth slip from his mouth...,"


    "And what the hell are you talking about?" Joanna shouted and pulled backwards. The manner she acted all defensive made Audrey even more suspicious.


    "I just need a response from you. Is he unwell anywhere?" Audrey asked a bit more seriously this time.


    "Of course not," Joanna blurted. "Amos is very healthy. He had never shown any signs of illness so how dare they insinuate that the reason he left the pce was that he is sick?" Joanna fumed, her hand balled into a fists.


    Back where Tiffany stood her jaw dropped open and her legs weakened upon the revtion she just heard.


    She quickly covered her mouth to prevent a sound from escaping.


    [Amos is His Majesty? but how...]


    Tiffany was too shocked to think straight. She stared at the two friends still talking as if they were strangers she met a few minutes ago.


    "Rumours also says the four years curse that is responsible for the death of the previous kings has struck and that is why he left the pce...,"


    "A curse?" Joanna scoffed. "Do they think we are in a movie or novel?" She hissed.


    "Anna, this is no time for you to get angry but strategize so calm down ok," Audrey advised. She moved closer, raised her hand and ced it on Joanna''s right shoulder.


    "The motive of whoever spreads the rumour is not pure. Remember, the causes of the death of the previous kings were never discovered...," Audrey paused to make sure that Joanna was following what she said.


    "Also recall that this is the fourth year of Kayden''s reign as King of Twipera Kingdom...,"


    "And what are you trying to insinuate huh?" Joanna snapped, hitting off Audrey''s hand on her shoulder.


    "Exactly what you are thinking," Audrey replied, not beating around the bush or sugarcoating her words.


    "If you sit down and think carefully you will know that it can''t be a coincidence that this rumour circted the time it did," Audrey whispered.


    "The King''s disappearance might have hindered their ns and I bet everything happening in the kingdom right now is to force the King to reveal himself...,"


    "And who could be so callous to scheme against His Majesty in such a manner?" Joanna cut in angrily as if Audrey was a part of the people after Kayden''s demise.


    "I bet it''s the same set of people who cruelly murdered the past rulers of our Kingdom without leaving a trace," Audrey muttered and walked about the open space.


    "As it stands Amos is in grave danger and we need to pay extra attention to him. We can''t afford to let the evil ones win," Audrey said.


    "I need to justy a hand on one of the people after his life and I promise you, I will let them go through hell and return," Joanna seethed, her fists tightly sped.


    Joanna paced about the open field they stood but only to halt abruptly.


    "What is...,"


    "Sshh...," Joanna ced her index finger on her lips as a signal for Audrey to stop talking.


    As Audrey wondered what was wrong Joanna lifted her hand and pointed at the spot behind the white wall Tiffany hid.


    Meanwhile, as they strategized using codes on how to capture the one eavesdropping on them, their sudden silence made Tiffany sense that something was amiss.


    eaglesnov?1,сoМ [Fuck! My cover is blown]


    Tiffany almost screamed out.


    Instantly she turned around and with the help of her powers disappeared from there although not unnoticed.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "It''s Tiffany," Joanna screamed. "Go after her. We can''t let her disclose the secret she found out to anyone no matter what," Joannamanded.


    Instantly, she disappeared from there along with Audrey.


    "Damn it! They are still following me," Tiffanywho halted only to realise that she was still being pursued resumed running once again.


    "We can''t afford to let her run away," Joanna grunted when they got to the point Tiffanystopped not up to a minute ago.


    Because Tiffanywas not there didn''t make them stop their pursuit. They kept on chasing Tiffany until they reached the main campus.


    "And where do you think you are running off to huh?" Joanna growled and grabbed the right hand of thedy she just caught up with.


    Tiffanyswervedand acted like nothing was wrong.


    "I have always known you to be a good runner but I never knew you have upgraded Stinky Joanna," Tiffany''s sarcastic words didn''t go well with Audrey who just caught up to them.


    "Quit with the pretenceyou darn eavesdropper," Audrey shouted, her sped fist waving at Tiffany''s face.


    "Who is talking huh?" Tiffany hissed. She looked around pretending she didn''t know that Audrey was the one who spoke.


    Her actions infuriated the already angry Audrey more. "How dare you...,"


    "Don''t do it, Drey," Joanna grabbed Audrey''s raised fist before she could hit Tiffany.


    "Let me handle her," Joanna forced on a smile and slowly returned Audrey''s hand to her side.


    She retracted her attention back to where Tiffany stood after she kept Audrey under control.


    "About what you heard earlier you will say no word to anyone...,"


    "And why should I do that huh?" Tiffany scoffed. Her nonchnce irked Audrey.


    She felt like beating nonsense out of the annoyingdy standing in front of her.


    "I bet you might have thought that was a request but let me tell you that wasn''t a request ok," Joanna said, her expression and voice cold as ice.


    "Ouch... I am so scared," Tiffany shivered pretending as though she was trembling in fear.
