“Are you trying to outwit me, Timodore?” still with squinting eyes, the Supremo King asked King Timodore. He was eyeing the King Timodore as if he was seeing the very depths of his mind.
King Timodore shook his head. “I am proposing a realistic proposal, Supremo King. You know for a fact that a vampire’s power will show to its full extent when she reached her majority age, which is eighteen years old. As of now, my daughter is only turning fifteen in two months’ time.
The Supremo King thought for a while while he was still looking at King Timodore, deeply, while King Timodore was just calm and with an unfathomable expression.
Suddenly, the Supremo King compassed his hands as if he could do nothing about the situation because King Timodore is actually right. Then he glared at King Timodore then said, “I will agree to that Timodore. But don’t you dare hide your daughter from me, when she turned eighteen, otherwise, there will be war between us.”
King Timodore suddenly felt more relaxed as he heard the declaration of the Supremo King. He nodded with a smile on his lips. “I will not hide my daughter from you Supremo King. You will meet her on her eighteenth birthday,” he replied with firmness in his tone.
With that the Supremo King nodded and then in a flash, he was gone inside the Glodeous palace.
King Timodore could almost shout with happiness. He felt his initial victory toward his fight and game at the same time with the Supremo King. In the meantime, her daughter will be safe from the Supremo King.
He walked back to his office with a wide smile on his lips. His first plan has been successful and he could not wait to tell his Queen wife about the good news.
He made his every stride go wider and in just a few seconds, he reached his office. He sat on his executive chair, with his smile never leaving his face.
As he settled himself on his executive chair, he got his mobile phone in his pocket and called the mobile phone of his wife.
“Come in my office, my Queen. I will tell you a piece of good news,” he readily said when Queen Asalea answered his call.
Queen Asalea suddenly got excited. She has a hint as to what is the good news all about. “Alright, Sweetheart, I will be running now going there,’ she replied with a happy heart.

From the garden, Queen Asalea walked hurriedly to the office of King Timodore. She wanted to hear his piece of good news, soonest.
She knocked on the office door of King Timodore and when she heard her voice letting her come in because the door is not actually locked, Queen Asalea, immediately entered the office and took a seat right on the lap of King Timodore.
“Now tell me my love your good news,” she said excitedly while giving the King a peck on his right cheek.
“Uhmm, my hormones are getting confused now, Sweetheart when you sat on my lap,” he said teasing her and they both laughed thereafter.
“Come on, my King, tell me now. I am excited.”
“Alright. I felt triumphant today because the Supremo King agreed to my proposal,” he said and he winked at her.
“Proposal not to see, Neoma today yet?”
“Yes, my Queen. He will only meet Neoma on our daughter’s eighteenth birthday.”
“That’s great and indeed a piece of really good news, my King. At least in the meantime, I will feel some relief in my heart, knowing that our daughter is still safe from the hands of the Supremo King,” Queen Asalea said while looking at her husband, smilingly and admiringly.
King Timodore with similar happiness, quickly kissed his Queen wife before he exclaimed. “Yes, indeed. You just don’t know how I felt when the Supremo King agreed to my words, to my proposal that it is much better for him to meet our daughter when she is already on in her majority age and not now that she is only turning fifteen. There is a lot of time for us to still train Neoma.”
“Hmm, my King, would it be best to just let our twins return here in our Kingdom instead of still hiding them in their identities now in the United States?” all of a sudden, Queen Asalea asked, which made King Timodore fall silent.
He contemplated for a while. “My Queen, would you like Neoma and Quacey to come home now?” he asked, instead of answering his wife’s question.
Queen Asalea nodded with a sudden rush of emotions flowing into her eyes. “I do. I missed them so much and I wanted to be with them again.”
King Timodore has been touched and was about to give in to his wife’s wishes but then suddenly he realized one thing. “My Queen, they are still not safe if everyone would know that they returned already.”
“What are you suggesting then, my King?”
King Timodore smiled and then laid down to his Queen wife his second plan about their twins.
Upon hearing her husband’s plans, Queen Asalea’s eyes brightened and she nodded. “I agree to that, my King. You are such a genius, my love.” She flung her arms around his neck and then she gave him a deep and passionate kiss.
“I should always show you how genius I am, my Queen if the result would always be like this … I having a good prize,” King Timodore said teasingly after they finished their kissing.
Queen Asalea laughed and after a while, their lips met again.
