Outside the campus, the moment for them to separate finally reached. Although they were both reluctant to let go of each other\'s hand they had no other choice but to do it.

Inside the car, Amos sitting in the backseat beside Mr Finley couldn\'t take his gaze off the lady whose distance from the car was widening every minute.

"If you are worried about her we can as well drop her off at her destination. We are not in a rush after all...,"

"My men are secretly watching her so that won\'t be necessary...,"

"If that\'s the case then why do you have that look on your face?" Mr Fin asked, his gaze glued on Amos\' gloomy face.

"If not that I saw you both holding hands earlier I would have concluded that you are acting this way because you broke up with her," Mr Fin said playfully.

He had hoped the playful guy would bash him but to his surprise, Amos didn\'t scold him as he expected.

"Let\'s go," Amos ordered Mr Fin\'s driver who had not spoken a word after he greeted him.

Because no one other than the two of them should know what their discussion was about, Mr Fin gave his driver the rest of the day off after he dropped them off at their destination.

As they made their way to where a table and a shade were set up not far away, Mr Fin kept stealing glances at the guy he found unusually quiet at the moment.

But he didn\'t say a word despite his observation. He waited until they had taken their seats under the shade.

"Kay, have you realised that you have been acting strangely ever since you stepped foot into my car earlier?" Mr Fin asked whose first action after sitting down was to grab the bottle of whiskey placed on the white table.

"I mean I haven\'t reprimanded you yet for the sudden promotion you gave me without asking for my opinion. How am I gonna settle the scores with you if you are this way?" Mr Fin pretended to be petty upset just to get Amos to say something.

"I indeed asked one of my men to mention your name at the board meeting for the appointment of the new Chancellor but I promise you that I didn\'t do more than that," Amos said as he took a sip from the glass of whiskey in his hand.

"Although the university is owned by the royal family, as you know I haven\'t been actively involved in the decision-making of the school. I am sure other board members agreed to your appointment because they know that in the entire school, no one deserves that position more than you do," Amos added absentmindedly.

Yes, he managed to get him to talk like he wanted but Mr Fin wasn\'t still satisfied to see his good friend and King so sad.

"I know you are not the type to lie. I believe you if you say so," Mr Fin mumbled.

None of them talked for close to five minutes.

"Seeing how you are acting I guess you and Miss Joanna must have quarrelled right?" Mr Fin asked. Amos furrowed eyebrows confirmed that his guess was right.

"When I learned you forbade Kyle from telling her the new development I was worried about how you were gonna return to the palace without giving her a reasonable explanation. But your misunderstanding had made things easier...,"

"And what do you mean by that?" Amos narrowed his eyebrows as he peered at Mr Fin\'s face.

Mr Fin chose to ignore his cold gaze at that moment knowing very well that he wouldn\'t be able to speak his mind if he considered that.

"Because of your quarrel, you can easily return to the palace without arousing suspicions in her mind...,"

"Do you think she is stupid?" Amos hissed.

"Also, I can\'t believe you are in support of Kyle\'s silly idea. I had thought that you would be on my side even though the others choose not to....,"

"This is not about taking sides Kayden. It\'s your safety. The safety of the King of Twipera Kingdom we are talking about here. You should know this is not child\'s play," Mr Fin interrupted fiercely.

"I know you love her very much and I am not against your love for her or your relationship but your priority right now should be your safety and nothing else....,"

"Finley!" Amos called out, his cold gaze settled on Mr Fin\'s face.

"Forgive me for being blunt, Your Majesty but if this is what it takes to make you do the right thing, I don\'t mind being the villain," Mr Fin expressed in a serious tone.

"You of all people should know what will happen to the kingdom if any harm comes to you. The humans have been eyeing our Kingdom ever since it was established...," Mr Fin paused to catch his breath.

"They see us as eyesores; the biggest threats to their existence. Believe me, it will not take them more than 24 hours to evade our nation if you get killed by their men they have snuck into our midst," Mr Fin said the facts they were both aware of.

He knows the different attacks Kayden has encountered since the beginning of his reign.

If not that Kayden was a strong man; an overly cautious man maybe he would have lost his life in the first year of his reign during their first attack.

"I know it pains your heart to do it but this separation won\'t be for a long time. Now that you have won her heart, it\'s just remaining the royal wedding which I am sure will happen not too long after you return to the palace...,"

"Actually, Fin, I am more worried about her safety than mine," Amos mumbled. He didn\'t sound upset like Mr Fin thought he would.

"After the incident last night, I am afraid that she will become their target since they can\'t get to me easily".

"Did something happen last night?" Mr Fin raised an eyebrow as he gazed at Amos\' face.
