"How are they?" Zeke and KC suddenly stopped what they were doing when I suddenly asked.
I wouldn’t blame them if I suddenly asked about my parents. It's exactly one week ago after the successful event at the university. It's been a week since I gave Jenth a chance to court with me.
This is also the day on which the board meeting will take place. Three days after the event at the university, I got the result of what I asked Mr. Tyson and Mr. Dizon.
"They're fine, Hime. But we haven't seen them these past few days." Zeke replied.
"Even in the company, they can't get there. I always ask the receptionist in the lobby if Uncle and Auntie went there, they said they haven't been there since they arrived," said KC.
I thought about what they said.
What are they doing?
They went back to watching on my laptop. They look at all the footage we get and all the documents that we need.
"It's too small to ruin your name," KC said seriously.
"Even if it's small, it still has a big effect. You know how strict Grandpa is." Zeke replied.
"I'm nervous, what if they already know, especially Tita Megumi?" KC and I looked at what Zeke said.
"It can't be. They'll just be brave enough to hold me, especially by the neck. I need to prove myself. I need my freedom." determined I said.
"We have to leave. The meeting will start in thirty minutes."
"Go, I'll just change."
My parents can't know what's going on. Grandpa will be even more courageous to continue the marriage he wants. That can't happen.
After I got dressed, I found my cousins waiting in the living room. Like me, they are well dressed and wearing their masks.
We went to the company together and I was amazed at triple the amount of security outside. As we enter, how many outsides as well as inside.
"What's going on? Why are there so many of them?" I asked my cousins.
"We don't know either. I only did double. Not triple number of security." also wondering says KC.
"Your Highnesses!"
We met Michelle across the elevator. She had been waiting for us.
"All done?"
"Everything is set, My Princess," she replied smiling.
I'm nervous.
Yes, I was nervous but not because of the board meeting. Because of my parents not showing up here at the company.
What are they planning?
As soon as the elevator opened, security was waiting to accompany us. One more thing, our security will not increase like this without an order from my Dad. Annoying!
Juvia opened the door for us, she had been waiting for us.
"Your Highnesses." greeted us as soon as my cousins and I entered the conference room.
"Speak." I coldly ordered when the three of us sit down.
I lazily listened to the complaints and what else they wanted to say that was unlikely to happen.
People always want to be on top. Even if they hurt someone, they will. And as I see it now, the rest of us here in this room are craving the power I have now.
Did he think it would be easy to get my position? Did he know the hardship I was going through? My sacrifices just for this company? Then they want, in a flash with just a flick of their hand they can get my seat from me? They are just looking for trouble.
"We want to dethrone her and appoint Mr. Benedicto as a new superior of this group." said a newcomer to my company.
I lazily looked at Mr. Benedicto with a smile of victory on his lips because of the allies he got.
"What's against the one percent share with the fifty percent share held by Princess? Kindly elaborate it to me." cold and lazy command of Zeke known as Prince Ji here in the company.
They were silent at what Zeke said. What is it against the person who holds half of the shares? When he said elaborate it, long explaining will happen. Zeke will search and search a hole for your explanation especially if he knows something is wrong.
Zeke is good at problem-solving and problem analyzing.
While KC is good at distributing works and other kinds of stuff.
So they are really what I need here. While me? I'm the mind and heart of this company.
"What your shares do if you have poor performance in the company?" boldly said, Mr. Benedicto.
I laugh sarcastically so they stop what they are doing. I knew some of them were nervous because of my laughter.
"I heard a very good joke." no emotion I say.
"How do you call yourself a Princess if you have this kind of attitude and showing no respect to others?!" bold question of Mr. Benedicto.
Almost everyone was surprised at the rise of the voice of Mr. Benedicto. While reluctantly I just looked at him from head to toe. Why do I waste my time with people like him?
"Are you respectful enough?" my cold response to his question.
The already chaotic room was quiet because of my question.
"You even beat the dead in the extreme coldness of your dealings with the people around you. You are not normal. You are an iceman in human form. Reckless person and useless. You allow all delivery to be sabotaged even the farms! You don't deserve to be in your position! " it continues. People who were biased against him were encouraged. Good luck to them.
"Dethrone her!"
"Yeah, dethrone her!"
They just keep at what they say. But it also stopped when someone suddenly entered.
Even my cousin and I were surprised.
What is this?!
"Why did you stop? I still like your chant."
Mr. Dizon's group is now bowing their head. the former vocal ally of Mr. Benedicto suddenly bowed, so did Mr. Benedicto.
So, they know them?
I was the only one who remained sitting still. Zeke and KC are standing now and bowing. They will only do the grand entrance? All this time, they already knew something.
"So, what is this all about? Mr. Dizon?"
"Mrs. Asakura, to dethrone the Princess." Mr. Dizon still bowed.
"You may sit down," she commands.
They all sat down because of what my Mom said. Yes, they are the only ones who came here. Maybe this is what they want, a surprise appearance.
"Did you know that it is a sin to dethrone My Princess?" tender but you feel the emphasis in every word my Mom releases.
"Do you have enough evidence to dethrone her?" my Dad asked.
"Yes, we have!" they said at once.
I raised an eyebrow at what they said? Really? Are they have it now?
I looked at all the evidence they released. All of them are fake.
"Aren't those papers more forged?" I ask.
They were silent at what I said.
"Maybe you're hiding something Mr. Benedicto?" brave question by KC known as Prince Shin.
"What about this Mr. Benedicto?" my mother asked while pointing at the screen projector.
Everyone was amazed at what they saw. I can see there how he ordered their staff to sabotage our trucks. Even the farms.
"I also found out that you were the reason for the abduction of Mr. Tyson's eldest son and that other people were affected because of that. You even thought it was close to the young man. How can you explain it to us?" Papa said.
I was shocked by what I heard. How did they know about it?!
My cousin and I looked at each other at what we heard. Even Michelle was surprised by what she heard. Her loyalty to me, so it was impossible for her to tell my parents that.
"As one of the superior, I don't want to see your face here again. Include your allies as well." my Dad's threatening command.
"No one can replace My Princess."
