The trio bowed their heads in respect to the royal family, but they knew they couldn’t wait to start getting down to business right away.
"Let’s take our seats and get down to business shall we?" The king suggested.
Anastasia, Xander, and Samantha took their seats and the queen asked, "Forgive my manners. Does any of you want sothing to drink or perhaps, a snack?"
"Not at all, Your Highness," Samantha was the one to respond. "What we have ready for you and the king can’t wait," she added.
Theous and Jelzem shared a look.
The prince and princess did the sa as well. They were seated on a different couch a little far away from their parents which was slightly odd since they were expected to be sitting together as one family.
"In that case, I would like to hear the business proposal that you have for , Mr. Vlarie," Theous started. He looked like a man of his age, soone in his late sixties, definitely fit, probably due to the diets that’d been prescribed for I’m so he’d live longer and rule longer.
He also looked pure like a white garnt with not a single stain on it. The queen who was sitting by his side was like a finishing touch. On her lips was a gentle smile that was probably the brightest Anastasia had ever seen all her life. They sure did say the dirtiest people had the purest facade to show to people.
anwhile, their children, the prince, and the princess. They were twins without a doubt because they had similar facial structures. Their expressions were pale, empty, and bored as if they were not happy to be summoned there at all.
"I would like to build a factory on one of your lands," Xander started.
Thus gave him a confused look but let him continue.
"I want to start surrogacy and sex trafficking in your city," he finished.
"What nonsense are you spewing? Do you not know whom you’re talking to?" Thus roared as he sprang up from the couch.
"I would advise you to sit down, my king. We still have so much to talk about."
"There’s nothing there for us to talk about!! Leave my palace this instant," the king ordered without giving him the chance to try to convince him.
Anastasia resisted the urge to clap her hands and complint the king for his bravado acting. It was as if that was the first ti he had heard such a word since he’d been alive.
However, his children didn’t seem to have as much of a reaction as she’d expected them to have. They were still wearing their nonchalant expression, completely unaffected by the rage of their father.
The queen however seed to be boiling in rage. Her skin had already turned red from embarrassnt too.
"You want to kick out of your palace? I’d advise you rethink your decision because right here," Xander raised the briefcase he was holding in his hand, showing it to everyone. "Right here are the records from your cris."
It was as if a bomb had just been dropped as silence enveloped the living room. It was so silent that if a needle was dropped, it would be heard by everyone.
Anastasia subtly looked at the twin children and finally, they had so expression on their faces. Then it dawned on her that the king had never actually told them their nas but Anastasia didn’t need to since she already knew them, all thanks to the internet that had all the information she needed.
"What are you talking about?" Jelzem, the queen, was the one to ask. There was heavy AC blowing on them, however, it seed her makeup was starting to lt.
After regaining her composure, her bright smile returned to her face.
"What are you talking about?" She gently asked, however, it seed that her husband was not about to follow that sa root.
He was trembling in both rage and fear.
"What sort of ridiculous accusation is this?" He roared. "This is the Regalith palace and I am the king. I can lock you up in my dungeon this very sa minute if you’re not careful with the words that fall from your mouth!!"
Jelzem had to hold him back because it seed he was going to collapse at any mont.
The prince and princess still didn’t make any movent from their seats which got Anastasia wondering the reason behind it. Normally, a child would butt in a situation like this and defend their parents and they would kick them out instantly. Instead, they were so relaxed as if they were watching a show.
"I would advise you to lower your voice right now if you don’t want your guards and your servants to hear what we’re talking about. But it’s fine with though because I would gladly reveal to everyone here what their dearest royal family and been doing behind their backs," Xander threatened.
They could sense from his tone that he was playing around at all.
"Your Highness, please calm down," Jelzem said, trying to calm her king who was glaring at the trio as if he could, he would have burned them alive at that mont, instantly.
Hesitantly, he took a seat.
Xander opened the briefcase and pulled out the papers that he needed to show.
"What is this? These are just papers!"
"Do you think we would co here with the original evidence so you can destroy it?" Anastasia questioned.
The King and Queen glared at her.
"This here shows your illegal dealings with drugs trafficking, claiming of properties from nearby cities and your subjects, and worst of all, your involvent with sex trafficking so don’t act all innocent. It doesn’t suit you at all," Xander mocked.
"This isn’t proof at all. You can’t prove a single thing with all these papers you have!"
"I see. Then would you like you hear the confession from one of your victims then?" Anastasia questioned and they went silent once again.
"This isn’t proof at all. You can’t prove a single thing with all these papers you have!"
"I see. Then would you like you hear the confession from one of your victims then?" Anastasia asked and they went silent once again.
"What victims are you talking about? There are no victims because we never did any of the things you’re accusing us of!" The queen roared, ready to defend her husband and the kingdom. "We’re a reputable family and all that you’re accusing us of isn’t true."
"Then I guess you wouldn’t have any problems if we call the police to search the palace or upload any of this evidence on the internet. Or even worse, we have your victims confess to everything you’ve put them through," Anastasia threatened. She could see their faces go pale at that mont, including the children.
"Who do you think you people are to just barge into the palace and threaten my parents?" The princess questioned, standing up from her seat and walking towards the couch the trio was seated on. "Do you know you can be sued for all the things you’re spewing right now?"
"Go ahead," Xander said with a smile. "I dare you to go ahead."
"Izara, don’t worry about this. Myself and your father will handle this issue. How about you take your brother and go upstairs now," the queen requested.
Izara glared hard at them before she finally moved her feet, walking up to the stairs while her brother followed behind her.
Even so, Anastasia could still spot their shadows appear on the stairs. They were still watching them.
"Since you two are not serious with our business proposal, I might as well just upload all this evidence. It’s of no use to anymore," Xander comnted, pulling out his phone to do the job.
Fear instantly gripped the king and queen.
They couldn’t do anything to stop them because they weren’t with the real evidence. The ones in Xander’s hands were just photocopies. Talk more about the victims he was talking about. From the tone of his voice, it was obvious he wasn’t bluffing at all.
They’d been discovered and the truth will be revealed in any second now, depending on the decision they make.
"Wait a second," Theous started and Xander paused, a grin stretching at the corners of his lips. "I believe we can talk this through."
"Sure we can. Let build on one of your lands where I can conduct my surrogacy business and sex trafficking and we’re good. Also, you’ll be offering so protection."
"It’s not that hard at all to do," Samantha added.
Their hands were now tied together and they needed to make a decision as soon as possible, or else their secrets would be revealed.
"Give us ti to think about it," said Jelzel.
"That’s not a problem at all. We will be back here tomorrow, sa ti and I better receive a positive answer from you," Xander replied.
