"Because I already have a man for my Big Sister and she also likes him so you don\'t stand a chance," Anthony said with his head slightly tilted back.

"Oh…," Amos said, shaking his head. Although he looked so calm, inwardly he wanted to spank Anthony hard for daring to say such words to him.

"And who is this man if I may ask?" Amos asked. He strolled to one of the chairs laying on the left-hand side and sat down.

"Is he as intelligent, handsome, tall and well built as me?" Amos crossed his long legs and brought back his attention to the little boy.

"Are you even considered good-looking?" Anthony snarled. His dislike was visible not only on his face but also in his tone.

He sauntered to the chair opposite that of Amos and sat down imitating the way Amos sat.

"My brother-in-law is very handsome… in fact, all the ladies in the Kingdom say he is the hottest man alive," He spoke with pride.

"He is the richest and the most influential man in the kingdom," Anthony counted his merits with his fingers.

[He is the hottest and the most influential man in the Kingdom?... Was there any man in the kingdom except me?]

​ Amos began to think of all the young men Joanna was acquainted with but after an intensive analysis, he couldn\'t find anyone that fits into Anthony\'s description.

"He is super intelligent and has a very nice body… I dream to have the same body as him when I grow up," Anthony said, displaying his tiny biceps for him to see.

"The most important of all the points is that he loves my sister a whole lot and is willing to do anything for her…,"

"But I also love your sister too…,"

"Maybe but I can tell you that it isn\'t on the same scale as his," Anthony countered his points with ease.

[Was there someone in the Kingdom who loves Anna as much as I do… but how come I wasn\'t aware of this?]

Instead of Anthony\'s words enlightening Amos, they left him more confused.

He thought he had no rival but hearing Anthony\'s words he realised that he might have been overconfident in himself.

"You are just ten years old, what do you know about love?" Amos questioned, not able to hide his displeasure anymore.

Anthony\'s expression turned gloomy the moment Amos said his last sentence.

"Kiddo, you don\'t need to take what I said too seriously. In time you will grow up…,"

"Yes, it\'s true I might not know what love is but…," Anthony began in a serious tone.

He lowered his gaze and looked at the glass table at the centre.

"I know in the entire Kingdom, he is the one who treats my sister the best…. He cried a lot after she disappeared back then. He cried more than I did," His chest tightened and his words became not so audible as he talked.

[Why does he want to cry?... I am sure Anna will think I bullied him if she met him like this]

Amos became quite uneasy seeing Anthony so emotional. He tried to listen to what was going on outside to make sure that none was approaching Anthony\'s room.

"Doesn\'t this mean he loves her?" Anthony questioned. He raised his head and revealed his misty eyes.

"That is…,"

"Even though you lie and say it isn\'t love you still don\'t stand a chance because he has long been prophesied to be my Big Sister\'s mate," Anthony cut in not wanting to hear Amos reply.

The word MY BIG SISTER\'S MATE rang in Amos\' head. His lips curved into a sly smile when he realised that it was him Anthony has been talking about this entire time.

"Your Big Sister\'s mate?" Amos chuckled in between his words. He couldn\'t mask his excitement at that moment.

"Why are you smiling?" Anthony asked, confused to see Amos smiling. He didn\'t recall saying anything nice about him.

"Because I am very happy and I feel like rewarding you…,"

"With what?" Anthony asked, jumping up to his feet with his tightened fists held in front of his chest.

"You might be bigger than me but I am not weak. Big Sister has taught me to always defend…,"

"Kiddo, I think you misunderstood me," Amos said standing on his feet. He tried to approach Anthony but the little boy moved backwards.

"I am not going to hit you…," Joanna chose this time to show up in the room.

Seeing them like this she misunderstood the situation and thought he was trying to bully her little brother.

She hurried to Anthony\'s side and hugged him.

"What did you do to him?" Joanna berated as she continued patting Anthony\'s head. "He is just a kid…,"

"Anna, you misunderstood. I didn\'t do anything bad to him," Amos started, as he covered the gap between them.

"He was just going on and on praising me…," Anthony\'s growl and fierce look made Amos pause his words.

"I mean he was praising the King and when I said I wanted to reward him, he acted defensively. He is here. He will confirm that what I said is true," Amos explained in a calm tone.

He knew it was better to put an end to the misunderstanding early rather than make it escalate.

Joanna lowered her gaze at her little brother still hugging her waist tightly. "Were you praising the King in front of him?" Joanna questioned.

Her fierceness made Anthony mellow down. He unwrapped his hands around her waist and walked two steps away from her.

"It\'s not like I was praising him…," Anthony said, not confident to look in his sister\'s eyes as spoke.

"I only told him the truth about him that everyone knows….,"

"Truth like what are you talking about?" Joanna questioned, her suspicious glances fixated on Anthony\'s face.

The little boy tends to act this way anytime he did something wrong so she could already guess that he might have said or done something he wasn\'t supposed to do.

"Did you say something you shouldn\'t have said to him…,"

"No, no, no…," Anthony shook his head vehemently. Amos decided to watch them talk without interrupting their conversation.

He will only talk if necessary.

"Then what were some of the so-called truths you told him?" Joanna asked, not willing to let Anthony off the hook.

"I… I said…," Anthony stammered, stealing secret glances at his Big Sister. His instincts told him to move away from his sister and that is what he did.

Anthony, now standing very close to the entrance raised his head when he felt that he was safe from where he stood.

"I told him that Big Brother Kay is handsome… rich, powerful and… and that you like him a lot…,"

"Hey," Joanna shouted, startling not only Anthony but also Amos with her scream.

"Come here Little rice ball," Joanna beckoned him with her hands to come closer but being very smart, he refused to move a muscle.

"I said come here…," Anthony took to his heels before Joanna could take two steps forward.

"Geez… he sure thinks he can run," Joanna scoffed. She lifted the down part of her dress so that it stopped on her knees.

"I wonder if no one told him that I am the best runner there is in the Kingdom…,"

"Are you really sure you wanna pursue him?" Amos asked with his arms folded and his legs crossed.

"Are you sure you have the answer to counter all his points… because even I ended up losing to the smart boy".

For the first time since she entered the room, he took a closer look at the pretty damsel adorned in a yellow tight-fitted dress.

Although neither the dress, handbag nor any of the accessories look glamorous and exotic, he found it just perfect.

In fact, he hasn\'t seen any lady who dresses so simply and yet manages to pull off the vibes of a goddess just like she is doing.

"It\'s because you have been spoiling him that is why he had the guts…,"

"Which parts of his sentence got you infuriated?" Amos asked, appearing in front of her.

He obstructed her path. "Was it the part where he said I am handsome or… that you love me a whole lot?"

"You…,"

"Are you angry that the secret you thought nobody knew has been discovered by someone…. Not just by anyone but by Tony huh?" Amos said provocatively.

He lifted his hand and stroked her beautiful face. She only applied a little makeup yet she looked so beautiful and irresistible.

"Are you trying to test my patience or how many minutes it will take me to change my mind and take off this dress…,"

"Hey, it hasn\'t come to this right?" Amos cut in hearing that she was having second thoughts about their dates.

"I was only trying to say that you look way too pretty right now to let him ruin your mood," He raised his hands and held her by the shoulders.
