My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 26 - 26 - Meeting The King

"So Kyle, care to tell us who's your contact at the palace?" Jayden asked.

We're on our way to the palace to meet the king, my grandfather. I have mixed feelings about this. They never knew I existed. Will they believe me? Father gave me a necklace. He said it's from my mother and that was given by the king of flousia. It's a royal treasure passed down to the women of the royal family for generations.

"I have a family there so I just asked him. By the way, can you keep it a secret that we've met here?" He asked politely.

"Even Luke?" Jayden asked.

"Ah. He knows I'm here. I just didn't tell him why." He said.

"Don't worry, we won't tell Emily. I don't want her to get distracted." I said, staring at him.

He smiled and looked away.

"We're here!" He said.

The entered in a small entrance. From the looks of it, it's like a private entrance. I got confused and curious even more.

It stopped in a small building and I saw some servants in front of it. A man that looks like a butler, opened the car door.

"Mr.Kyle, you're back." He said while bowing politely.

"Is he here?" Kyle asked.

"Yes. He came as soon as you called." The man said.

"Let's go." Kyle said as he walked inside casually.

We followed Kyle inside, still confused. Jayden held my hand as I started to get tensed.

My hert was pounding so fast and I can hear it beating loudly. It was cold in Flousia but I'm sweating from nervousness.

We stopped at the last door in the hallway when Kyle knocked twice before opening the door.

We went inside and a man was seated on one of the couch. He looked at Kyle and smiled. I know who is. The King of Flousia, George Hulls, my grandfather. At the age of 60, he's actually looks younger. I searched him on the net before coming here so at least I know what his face is.

"Kyle! It's good to see you again. I thought you're not coming back here." He said. His aura was really like of a royal.

"I'm here because someone wants to meet you. My friends Jayden Richards and Peggy Miller." He said, introducing us to the King.

Jayden smiled and reached out his hand.

"It's an honor to meet the King of Flousia." Jayden said.

Grandfather reached back and shook hands with Jayden. His face was also confused.

"Oh you're the one who asked for a meeting with me, right? I need to cancel it due to personal matters. I didn't expect you knew Kyle." He said smiling back at Jayden.

He then moved his eyes to me. He was staring at me as if he seen a ghost. I looked like my mother after all.

"You are Peggy?" He asked.

I was speechless and can't even say a single word. Jayden held my hand as if saying everything's okay and he's there for me. I snapped and smiled at grandfather.

"Yes sir. I am Margaret Hulls Miller, daughter of Catherine Hulls." I said in a firm voice.

The King and Kyle's jaw dropped. The went silent. I picked the necklace from my purse and handed it to him.

"It was a gift from my mother. I didn't have the chance to see her because she died giving birth to me." I said, my voice trembles when I talked about my mother.

"Your father didn't tell me about you. I just received a news one day that she's dead because of cancer." He said in a sad voice.

"How about we sit first so you can talk." It was Kyle.

I'm still not sure why Kyle and grandfather talked to each other casually. It seems to me that the King was also happy when he saw Kyle.

We sat on the couch to talk. Jayden was sitting beside me and across us were Kyle and the King.

"You look like your mother. I thought she was you. Did your father ask you to come here?" He asked.

"He's not my father." I said. I know I sounded bitter.

"What do you mean?" Kyle asked.

"Father said mom got pregnant by another man. She was having an affair with other men during their marriage. He didn't tell you about me because he wanted to keep it a secret from you and from me. I was left in a mansion with all the servants, knowing that he's my father, he didn't care or loved me. That's his revenge to mom I guess. I just found out two days ago so I decided to come here." I said.

"Margaret. That was your grandmother's name." Then I saw tears flow from his eyes.

I stood up and rushed towards him. Without asking, I hugged him tight. I was crying.

"I'm sorry I didn't know you existed. I regret everything I've done with your mother. I " He said while crying into my arms.

"I was afraid you wouldn't accept me. I just wanted to see you. I didn't expect this."

We cried, Jayden and Kyle let us. It was a grandfather and granddaughter moment.

"By the way grandfather, this is Jayden. My fiance." I said, introducing him to the man I will share my life with.

"Oh that's why you're so eager to meet with me. It's nice to meet you. As long as my granddaughter is happy, I'm fine with anyone. Take care of her. So what do you do for a living?" He suddenly asked.

I thought Jayden will be offended but he laughed before answering.

"You don't need to know. I don't care if you're the King, I'll marry your daughter whether you like me or not. And believe me I'm stubborn as you are." Jayden said, smirking.

"I liked him! So Jayden, what do you think of you and Margaret staying here and become my successor?" He suddenly asked.

"No. I don't like being kept in a palace." Jayden said.

"Margaret?" He then looked at me.

I smiled. "Grandpa, I just really came here to see you. I'm sorry."

He took a deep breath first. "Why do both my grandkids rejected being the successor? You're like your brother."

"My brother?" I frowned. "He's here? Where is he?" I asked.

"You don't know? This man is your brother." He said while tapping the man's shoulder beside him. It was Kyle.
