I'm the King Of Technology

"All units prepare for plan C.

I repeat. All units prepare for Plan C.

He's on his way!"

.

Dammit!

Why now?

Mother Kim quickly went on defence mode, stopping her relaxing spa treatment halfway through.

In fact, the speed at which she got off the table was something that her masseuse would never forget in her life.

Could it be that there was some incoming disaster that she was unaware of?

The poor masseuse couldn't go doubting her life.

As for Mother Kim, she quickly scooted out, dashing towards the changing room like crazy.

Now, rather than taking a nice steamy bath to wash off the excess massage oil, she was wiping it all off with a towel instead.

And all this because 'He' was coming.

But to understand who He was and why she was anxious, one had to look through her entire situation.

(Cue Flashback Music~~)

.

As one might be aware, she was a pregnant woman.

And ever since she got pregnant and had her maternity leave from work, He had practically kept her indoors day-in-day-out.

Yes. That's right.

She was talking about her husband, King-Father Lucius I (the first)!

Hmhm. You heard her right.

She was running from her husband.

But before one came around judging her, they had to understand her pain over the past few months.

For starters, her beloved husband never allowed her out, which made her deeply regret asking for maternity leave a little earlier than she did.

If she had known, she would've definitely asked for it 7 or 8 months in.

Anyway, she had asked for a leave just 5 months in because of Lucius' persistence.

And to stay by her side most of the time, Lucius had started doing most of his work in his palace office too.

But this was the start of her nightmare of over-smothering.

This was Lucius' first time experiencing the whole pregnancy phase, so of course he was going crazy with worry.

He was afraid and acted as if she would get hurt from every little thing.

Knowing this, his primary worry was more about her than the baby.

Back in the days, Lucius had been assigned to Landon right after her delivery.

So he had never seen the different stages of pregnancy as he was experiencing it now.

The first time he was told that it would be a girl, he actively started buying things like crazy and made a will to give 75% of his possessions to her.

Initially, he wanted to give 30% to her, 30%, mother Kim, 20% to Landon, 10% to Josh, Mark and the boys... and 10% to the charity organizations he visited from time to time.

One shouldn't look down on that 10% to charity. That was a whole ton of Money!

Anyway, everyone, from Landon, Mother Kim, to even Trey, turned down his inheritance.

Who were they?

They were all super-rich themselves.

So in their heads, it just didn't make sense for them to have it.

And in the end, Lucius decided to leave 75% to his daughter and 25% to charity.

No doubt, Lucius would be a doting dad.

But he still cared more about Mother Kim than the baby.

And so began her nightmare of overloading love

.

Because Lucius was afraid that her body might not be able to handle it all, so he was cautious with her.

Well, she wasn't young and was soon headed to 40 in just a few more years.

So it gave her a lot of pressure compared to the time she birthed Landon in her teens.

Last November, Landon already turned 20.

So even though she was still a middle-aged lady, she knew that soon... In a few years, she would hit the big 40 and become old.

40 for almost everyone in this world was old.

And those who did live longer than 70 were ancient in their eyes.

People did live that long, but it was rare.

One could even say the 3 Musketeers and their gang were a rare group of people as well.

Anyway, Mother Kim's belly had grown fuller by the day.

And since then, Lucius had kept her under lock and key.

If she wanted food, it would be brought over. If she wanted to shop, they would bring her the catalogue magazines... If she wanted to stroll, then stroll around the massive palace!

Her only consultation was that in a few weeks (sometimes in late March or early April), she would finally put to birth.

And then, she could go wherever and do whatever she wanted.

Such a husband made her too weak with tears of helplessness.

That's why she quickly used this opportunity to come out of the palace for air.

Chances are, if Lucius knew, he would rush over to get her immediately.

That was also why she planned an operation with her guards.

Yes. They were her guards and had her loyalty and not Lucius'.

So they obeyed her and tricked Lucius' guards into thinking she was still at home.

The escape plan wasn't easy, but they somehow nailed it.

They had even come up with an elaborate high assassin-like plan of sneaking her back into the pace again later on.

Well, everything was supposed to be okay and go according to plan.

But for some reason, her husband's sixth senses awakened, causing him to come home briefly.

And that is how they got into their current predicament.

.

Mother Kim quickly carried her massive belly and dressed up in a flash with the help of 2 female guards.

"Jen. Update. Go."

"Queen Mother, units 3 and 5 have been captured.

And from the looks of it, they still refused to give out our location."

Mother Kim smiled: "They're loyal even till this moment. Good. This lady didn't want time nurturing them. Although, it's a bit unfair for them at this point. Knowing that husband of mine, he probably found clues here and there all on his own."

"Queen Mother, units 2 and 4 had successfully trailed King-Father, while trying to create diversions on the way, slowing them down.

But there's just so much we can do before he gets here.

That's why we have to break through plan C now!"

"Hmm. Then do it. Get me back to the palace fast!"

With that, Mother Kim smiled playfully.

If she were never here, then how could her dear husband condemn her?

Yes. She was going with the whole 'deny until your caught behaviour.'

The palace was so massive.

So she could've just been taking a nap someplace hidden, right?

That said, what evidence did he have against her?

Unless proven guilty, she was forever innocent!!

Her men hadn't yapped about it all.

And she knew that Lucy and the rest wouldn't talk about things too.

They had been briefed and knew too well about it all.

Again, Mother Kim had only revealed her intentions in secret to them in the palace.

And they in turn told their own men to keep things hush-hush.

Everyone's men were loyal to their bosses, and that was that.

They could only report a matter if it went against moral codes or the law.

And as far as the issues between husband and wife went, this didn't concern them at all!

That said, Mother Kim was very confident in denying anything.

Heh. That was just right.
