Chapter 176 The King!
"Out of all the people responsible for my death that night the four of you are the only ones I haven\'t had my revenge on. So make a choice…," Joanna\'s fierce words made the guys avert their attention to her side.
"Do you want to disclose what happened and save yourselves from suffering for even a day or do you want me to carry out my revenge now… choose wisely, I advise," Joanna\'s voice was chilly as she talked.
Although she wasn\'t holding a dagger, the threat in her tone scared them more than the dagger in Audrey\'s hand.
"I will say it," Seth obliged despite the warning signs Logan has been giving all of them.
"If you have decided to say it then shoot and don\'t waste our time," Joanna ordered with a stern expression.
Seth scrutinized their surroundings to make sure that there was not a third party eavesdropping on them.
After making sure that it was only them around he made up his mind to disclose everything to the two ladies.
"Will you say it or do you want me to make you say it… I have so many ways to get words out…,"
"On the night we hauled you down the cliff, we thought that the case was concluded after his Majesty intervened and saved Logan from Audrey\'s clutches but we were very wrong. We didn\'t know that was the beginning of our suffering," Seth relayed.
The mere recalling of what they went through because of their actions made him wish he could turn back the hands of time.
If he had foreseen the consequences of their actions never would he have partaken in the act that night no matter the juicy offer the girls gave him.
Too bad the deed has been done and there is nothing anyone can do to change the past.
"What happened that made you say that?" Audrey questioned. She looked more eager than Joanna to listen to what transpired after she was forced out of the hotel that night.
Seeing Seth open his mouth to talk made Logan grab him by the shoulder.
"Seth, don\'t say anything. Don\'t forget we promised him not to mention anything that happened to anyone else apart from our family. He will kill us if he discovers that we went back on our promise," Logan said as he shook his head disapprovingly.
Joanna raised her hand and grabbed Logan by the collar. Without wasting time she pulled him away from Seth.
"Who is \'He\' you are referring to?" Joanna went ahead to ask after keeping Logan away from Seth.
"His Majesty, the King," Don, the guy in tan shirt replied. The mere mention of the King\'s name made the four guys shivered.
[What on Earth did Kay do to them to tame this to this extent]
Joanna wondered the moment she saw the fear in the guys\' eyes.
"The King!" Audrey remarked with a bewildered expression.
"Yeah, the King. In the past, I have always thought that the King was a coward and a pushover whose entire decisions are detected by the Minister\'s but he gave us the shock of our lives…,"
"What exactly did he do? Stop beating around the bush," Joanna was too anxious to hear all the bullshit Don had to say about the King.
"That night we barely arrived home when the King\'s elite guards stormed our homes. We were hauled away from our homes like animals," Seth narrated.
Even though they were roughly handled by the King\'s men when they were taken from their home they had thought it would be like every other day where they would be released some minutes later.
But that night they got the shock of their lives. None of them would ever forget what transpired in the King\'s throne room that fateful night.
[So Chris was telling the truth last night]
Audrey was in deep thoughts when she realised that Seth\'s words marched with what Chris told her.
"I am sure his arrest was just for a show. I know he must have released you guys after a few minutes of detention…,"
"That is where you are wrong, Tomboy," Don was first to reply.
At first, they were eager to run away but after talking with the girl they calmed down a little.
"We were taken to the King\'s throne room and afterwards our parents arrived to take us home and that is where the suffering started," Seth continued.
Out of the four guys only he was brave enough to relay what happened on that dreadful night.
"Behave yourself if you don\'t want me to deal with you," said Joanna sternly to Logan. She released Logan when he stopped struggling with her.
"Go on," Joanna ordered. She walked away from where the guys stood. She moved to the white wall and leaned on it with her attention concentrated on the guys.
"We were interrogated in front of our Dads and at that moment Log\'s grandfather had to provoke the King…," Seth paused.
The mere thought of what happened afterwards sent shivers down all the guys\' spine.
Seth kept on narrating the story. At the end of the narration, Joanna and Audrey marvelled to learn the extent the King went to avenge Joanna\'s murderers.
"For over four months we didn\'t see the light of the sun. We only got to eat once a week. Staying in that dark dungeon was hell," Jick, the fourth guy among them retold the story even though Seth has already done that.
"I have always known Kay to be cool-headed. Never did I know that he had such a crazy side to him…,"
"And that crazy side was all he needed to put those old fools which called themselves ministers in their rightful places. That serves them right," Audrey said.
A satisfactory smile appeared on her pretty face.
If it was in the past that Audrey insulted the guys\' father, a fight would have long broken out but right now none of them said a word even though they knew Audrey was talking about their fathers.
"Since we have told you guys everything that happened that night that the entire Kingdom isn\'t aware of, can we leave now?" Seth asked like an obedient little lamb.
"You are dreaming to think…," Joanna paused her words when she perceived a familiar scent close by.
With hopeful eyes, she tilted her head to the left to confirm her doubts.
"Amos!" Joanna shouted with a mixture of surprise and excitement.

HAPPY NEW MONTH!!!
HAPPY SEPTEMBER
Hello amazing readers, happy new month once again. It\'s a new month and as you all know, it\'s also time to set new goals but before we dived into our goals for this month, I have something to tell you guys.
Guess what????
I just received my first review after a long time, yay!!!
And can you guess when I got this review?
Surprise... I got it on the 1st of September. I am so happy right now.
Because of the review, I feel so optimistic about this month. I have this amazing feeling that more surprises are gonna come my way this September 2022 from you guys.
Guys please prove me right and surprise me by completing the goals listed below.
One more thing before I list our goal for September, I just want to say a big thank you to all my readers who supported me exceptionally last month.
Thank you and let\'s do even better this month. GOALS FOR SEPTEMBER, 2022.
GOAL 1: 1K (1,000) = 6 chapters mass release. As long as we reach 1,000 privileged chapters unlocked this month, this lovely author here is gonna surprise you guys with 6 chapters mass release.
Please, guys, support me to reach this particular goal this month. I promise I will be good to all of you.
Also, you don\'t have to buy the highest privileged tier if you can\'t afford it. No matter the tier you purchase as long as you unlock the privileged chapters daily, this author here is gonna be forever grateful to you.
GOAL 2: 50 GOLDEN TICKETS = 2 chapters mass release. Give me all your GOLDEN TICKETS and you won\'t regret it, everyone, I will make sure of it.
GOAL 3: 100 Power Stones = 3 chapters mass release. Guys, I realised recently that there is a mistake I have been making concerning this particular goal.
The power stone goal is a weekly goal and not a monthly goal. And this is because the power stone ranking gets renewed every month.
Now you know this, then what are you waiting for? Give me all your power stones and stand a chance to get 3 chapters mass release every week.
P.S: Don\'t forget that there is also a reward attached to SUPER GIFTS so send the gifts coming... (Coughs) I won\'t reject it if you decide to send me a MAGIC CASTLE or a SPACECRAFT.
Your dearest author loves you all very much ❤️❤️❤️.
Let\'s hear your confession, do you love me too?
