494: Lawless

Lawless

  It's been days. Janella was curious about how that woman would play her cards. She has been waiting for like four days now and there's nothing yet. She took out her car keys and approached her sports car. She clicked the remote to unlock her car and suddenly, the impact of the explosion threw her back. She fell hard to the ground, her ears ringing. She suddenly felt numb until she got to her consciousness and felt that excruciating pain all over her body. A sharp thing was on her arm and she stared at the sharp piece of the car pinned on her right arm. 

  She moaned in pain. Around her, the guards already had the fire extinguisher killing the fire and a lot also responded to put first aid to her. She slowly closed her eyes as she was blinded by the sunlight. She then realized the thing that she's been waiting for came to her unexpectedly. 

  By the time she woke up, she was already in the hospital in the facility of the Charles Empire. She couldn't move as her ears were still ringing. Her grandfather was sitting beside her. Their eyes met. 

"We underestimated the Crown Princess." He said. Although she couldn't hear him clearly, she could still read his lips. "She could do worse." He reached for her hand. "She could have killed you but she didn't. Take a break, my dear." He stood and left. She wanted to interject. She doesn't want to take a break but he has already left which means he doesn't want to hear any more excuses. 

  She slowly turned to the doctor who showed her the vial that he was going to inject. 

"This will take the pain." 

  She slowly closed her eyes as the drug ran into her system. It indeed takes the pain away but she doesn't want to sleep. She wanted to know more about the Rossie Empire and about that woman who plotted that bombing.

  MJ was humming while preparing the kid's clothes for their trip to the other country. Yesterday, Johanna, Victor, Violet, and Connor together with their kids left earlier with a lot of baggage. They will leave tomorrow after Yves recovers. 

"Mami," Dione ran to her and showed her a mini-stroller with the toys that she wanted to bring her. 

"Did you organize it, my little love?" 

  She opened it and showed it to her. 

"Pik~~geen~bu~" She said. "Ki-kin~hep." She said. 

"Oh, that's adorable. Did you thank her?" 

"Yeah." She nodded her head. Then, she ran out of the bedroom to the other room where her bunnies were. She picked up one and brought it to her mother. "Mami, pak." She said as she put the bunny in another bag. 

"Darling, no." 

"No. No." She shook her head. "I wan~~bunny, peasee." 

"You will take care of her and feed her. Also removed her poops." 

"Yes, Mami." 

  She took the bag that Dione always put her bunny with. 

"Here, pack her clothes." 

"Yay!" She put down the bunny who hopped around as Dione ran back to the other room to pick up the clothes. 

  She peeked at her daughter who checked every mini-drawers of her bunny that contained all of the clothes and accessories. She picked up the bunny and took it back to the room inside the fences. She let her daughter become busy with packing as she continued checking the clothes that they needed, although Karmina settled the stock of their clothes back there. 

"Babe, we have only three hours before we leave. They also landed safely in the country." Harvey remembered while he was holding their baby boy. "Cole," he called as he went to the other room. "Are your clothes ready?" 

"It's done, Dad." He answered. 

"Good boy." 

  She zipped the bag and checked Dione's bag and so was Kaiden's. She loved organizing things for her kids. It somehow relieves stress. 

"We are done," MJ said as she took the bags outside their room. She again checked on Dione who was tucking the clothes in the bag without folding it. She approached her and taught her how to do it. They still have more time and Dione needs to learn this kind of thing.

  Kal gasped as he looked around. He even wanted to get out of his baby car seat to the window but Violet told him many times to stay still. He asked over and over again if they were going to meet Levina. Violet answered him all over again. 

"Seepy!" Quinn exclaimed at him. 

"Quinn," Johanna weaned at her. 

"Kal-Kal, n-oisy!" She pouted and crossed her arms. Connor covered his mouth to avoid laughing so hard. 

  Victor nudged him as he snickered as well. Violet rolled her eyes as she spoke to Kal not to get too noisy. Their car van was of course escorted by agents and police. When they arrived at the castle, Karmina was waiting at the doorstep excitedly. As soon as the door opened, Kal exclaimed again excitedly. Violet removed the safety belts. Victor helped him down as he quickly ran to Karmina and Henry. 

  Quinn was very much too lazy to walk so Connor had to carry her toward Karmina and Henry. 

"Vivi!" Kal ran inside quickly as Victor greeted Karmina and Henry warmly. "Vivi." He called out again. 

  The maids and butlers bowed at him. They aren't allowed to touch the kid unless it was an emergency. 

"Kal," Victor called. "Kal, stop running." He commanded him. Kal stopped running and he walked toward Victor and reached his hand. 

"We found~~Vivi, please." 

"Kal," Maxine called as she approached him with Levina in her arms. Kal gasped as he quickly ran to them. Maxine bent down to show Levina as Kal hugged the baby. 

"Well, it will be hard for them to separate again," Victor told her as Maxine only giggled. 

  Kal also hugged Maxine and kissed her cheeks. 

"So, stealing my girls again?" Terrence asked Kal as he patted his head and he approached Victor and they hugged each other in a very manly way. 

  They quickly went to the very own playroom of the kids upstairs and Kal kept hugging Levina ignoring Granger who was there. But Quinn was very much friendly when it comes to family. She played with Granger while the adults talked a lot about Johanna's wedding and how Karmina started it. The wedding is in eight days and there were a lot of things to do. 

"Hi, Quinn." Ian greeted. "Kal~~" He stared at Kal who completely ignored him. Quinn stood taking her purse as she walked toward him and pointed something. Ian thought that she wanted to know what it was. He knelt one knee in front of her and hugged her. But Quinn pushed his face as she took cash from her purse. 

"Okane…" She said and pointed to his brooch. 

"What?" Ian was completely puzzled as Johanna laughed while Connor told her to stop laughing. 

"Watashi wa kau." She said and pointed to the brooch. 

"Does she mean that she wanted to buy my brooch?" Ian asked Johanna who couldn't stop laughing. 

"Yes," Connor answered as he approached. 

"Oh," Ian grinned at the little girl. "Darling, this brooch is expensive." 

  She took a little more cash from her purse and gave it to him. Ian gave his eagle brooch and he wanted to see what she would do with it. Once Quinn paid for it, she approached Granger and gave it to him. They were all stunned. Then, they continued to play as Granger checked the brooch. Ian gave the money back to Johanna to put it back in Quinn's purse. 

"Strange how she makes friends," Karmina said as she looked at Johanna. "Do you pay someone to be your friend, darling?" She grinned at Johanna. 

"Mom. No. Besides, I don't waste money making friends. It's just~~Quinn's attitude. She probably saw it somewhere." 

"Oh," Karmina chuckled, then she turned to Connor. "Do you do what your daughter does?" 

"No, mother. I am too popular to buy friends." 

  Karmina just admired the kids. Shortly, Ian approached her as he bent down. 

"This is a case regarding the Crown Princess." He mumbled. Karmina stood and Henry followed. 

"Foods will be ready shortly." She told them as they went to the other room so the kids won't hear it. 

  In Karmina's office, they all sat down and Ian showed them how Janella Lefebure's car exploded. 

"I never thought that Mitch would do this." He said.  0

"They underestimated the Crown Princess." Karmina crossed her legs although she shouldn't since it is one of the Queen's protocols. "Besides, she deserved it. Threatening my son-in-law, almost killing my son and Leon… she deserved it. But it wasn't that great that she received. She's too lucky that Mitch spared her life." She smirked. 

"It was unimaginable how she installed it there," Henry mumbled. "None of them even detected it." 

"She can be like Johanna if she likes," Ian mumbled. "The Lefebure refused to send an apology about what they did to the Crown Prince." 

"Didn't they receive an email from Keira?" Henry asked. "Did they think that my daughter would joke like that?" He said smugly. 

"Well, they thought that the Rossie Empire was like before." Ian chuckled. "Never thought that the lab rats that they treated were lions."
