The Line of Destiny Iriana
The Flashback

Flashback.

Taomasa's luxury private jet finally landed safely at Country A's international airport, after disembarking from the plane Taomasa immediately took his entourage back into the air using a helicopter that Robert sent specifically to pick them up.

It took them about fifteen minutes to reach their destination, the royal palace of the Taomasa mafia which now belongs to Robert.

" Why are we here?" William was suddenly confused when he saw a palace whose breadth might be the same as his royal palace.

Although he had only first come there but he was very sure if his wife could not be held captive in the magnificent building.

" Let's go in the prince." Sahut Taomasa without any intention of explaining anything to William.

William just resigned and followed the footsteps of Taomasa and Lilyana who walked in front of him as well as Kendrick.

Taomasa initially refused to invite William because of his condition that had not healed after surgery but because the man continued to force and threaten to go alone to find Iriana, Taomasa eventually relented and allowed William and Kendrick to come along.

" Welcome Lord, Grand Lady, Prince." Welcome Alfred while bowing respectfully as well as the men lined up neatly behind him.

" Take us to Robert" said Taomasa, who did not want to waste his time in order to save Iriana.

" Okay sir, come on.." Alfred immediately led the way to the basement where Robert and Rabecca were.

" After all these years nothing has changed from this room." Taomasa muttered in Alfred's ear.

" It's not just this room, sir, it's the same as the last time you left this palace." said Alfred approved by Taomasa.

" Welcome Dad, Mom." Sapa Robert who immediately hugged Taomasa and Lily took turns.

Lily who missed Robert so much that she cried in the arms of her son, they had not seen each other for a long time so it was natural that Lily became emotional and carried away.

" Miss you Mom." Now it was Rabecca's turn to embrace Taomasa and Lily alternately.

Unlike the case with the four of them who gave each other a longing by hugging, William's attention was precisely caught on a large photo frame hanging on the wall.

In the photo, Taomasa and his grandfather embrace each other with a big smile that adorns the faces of both.

" The photo was taken at the age of thirty" Taomasa explained, leading William to look at her with a flat face without any expression.

" Don't waste time with your past stories because I'm not interested at all, so quickly tell me what your plans are to save Iriana." William looked at Robert.

Serious talks begin, Robert explains his plans which he had put together with Rabecca and his men last night.

The man also informed him of the letter that Zavier had sent, but not of a photograph of Iriana being wounded and bound.

Robert did not want to make both his parents worried as they felt last night, even Rabecca was devastated when she saw the photo especially if Lily and Taomasa saw it.

" Rabecca and I have agreed that in addition to saving Maria we will also use Zavier's plan to uncover the truth about the mastermind behind the first prince's death" Robert said.

" You can't just take Robert's step! the king would not easily believe without strong evidence." Lily recalled.

" Mommy take it easy, the culprit will come and confess all his deeds in front of the king." Rabecca said.

" you mean?" it was Taomasa's turn to ask.

" Today there was an intruder who was caught by our men, after being interrogated the man confessed that he was Charlos' man who was ordered to steal the possession of the island of O." clearly Rabecca glanced at William who remained indifferent as if he did not care about the discussion about the death of the first prince.

" All this time Charlos never dared to engage further with the underworld then why now does she want the island file O?" taomasa Sahut.

" To threaten Zavier." Robert's Timpal

" The intruder said that Charlos would use the O island possession file to threaten Zavier into keeping all his orders, from there I thought that it seemed like we could take advantage of this situation to frame him and Zavier so that they would fight each other so it was easy for us to catch Charlos if Zavier was not on his side anymore" he added.

" In order for Charlos to believe that his plan was going smoothly, Robert deliberately told Alfred to release the intruder and give the false O island possession file to be handed over to Charlos." Rabecca said.

" Then regarding the king, we need someone to persuade him to come to the old building where Iriana was held captive, because the king must see and hear directly so we should also be able to take her there." now it was Robert's turn to glance at William hoping that the man could help him persuade the King.

" No! that's too dangerous." Taomasa disagrees with Robert's plan.

" But we have no other choice, Dad." - Robert.

" There's another way." said Taomasa then walked up to Rabecca.

" Wear this." Taomasa handed over the necklace with the angel wings pendant that he had once given to Iriana.

The necklace falls when Iriana is almost hit by a car a few days ago then Justin finds it and returns it to Taomasa.

" In this pendant there is already a tracking device and a small camera equipped with a sound eavesdropping device that has been connected to my laptop so the King does not need to appear before Zavier and Charlos, the King did not need to appear before Zavier, the King, and Charlos, he could watch and hear everything from inside the palace." Taomasa explained again.

" Alright then me and Rabecca will head there now, it would be best if this all ended sooner." Robert and Rabecca immediately prepared to put on a bulletproof vest and keep a gun behind the clothes they were wearing.

" I'll go with you guys." William Sahut.

" No! you can't go there, Prince." stop Robert.

" Zavier only wants the two of us, if you come along then your life will be threatened, Zavier is not a person who has a high tolerance, he said, he won't hesitate to kill anyone who would have messed up his plans including yours." Robert tried to give William some understanding.

" I don't care about your plans or your plans! all I want is for Iriana to survive and come back in good shape!" william's Stern.

" You gotta care! because this is all we do for you! to keep your name clear of the charges the king gave you, so please understand!" Robert exclaimed in a slightly raised tone.

" Robert, relax!" persuade Rabecca.

" Let Robert and Rabecca go first, in case things get out of control, there are guys and snipers who will cover them remotely, the rest will come with me to the main palace to convince the King that what he will hear and see is the truth." Taomasa mediates the tension between Robert and William.

" I don't want to go to that place anymore!" look William cold and choose to go followed by Kendrick.

" I will persuade him, you get ready and bring my grandson home alive" Taomasa said, then left to persuade William.

Robert and Rabecca soon prepare as well as Alfred and their men who will participate in the fight this time.

While Taomasa went back to William and tried hard to persuade the man to come to the main palace, until his efforts came to fruition, William agreed to go there after a long debate.

Robert's team eventually departs for the old building where Iriana is held captive while Taomasa takes his entourage to the palace to face the King.

Upon their arrival, none of the royal family welcomed them, as there had been no prior notice of Taomasa or William's arrival.

" Prince...Mr. Taomasa.." Welcome the security chief who just came after being told by his men if William comes to the Palace.

" We want to see the King" William said without further ado.

Not because he was too long and impatient to see his father, William did that because he wanted to immediately know the situation of Adriana and save the woman who was now pregnant with flesh blood.

The head of security nodded then took William, Taomasa, Lily and Kendrick to meet the King.

Their presence was welcomed by the King before tension was re-created when the king rejected the truth about Charlos.

" If after seeing his video the king still does not believe that it is not me who killed Big Brother it is not a problem for me, but if we continue to buy time and are late to save Iriana just because it has to persuade the King, but if we continue to buy time and save Iriana just because we have to persuade the King, then don't blame me if the relationship between us will be completely destroyed without rest" said William who can't wait any longer.

" William Anderson do you realize what you're saying!" bentak King.

Father and son who are both stubborn and always hold fast to their stance are clashing with sharp glances.

" I'm sober and so sure of what I'm saying!" reply William without any hesitation and fear.

" This Child!" The King growled inwardly and then took a deep breath to control his emotions.

" Well show me the Vidio!" the king said at last.

The king was very familiar with William's serious nature and never denied his words so he did not want to lose his son again just for the sake of his ego and anger all along.

It is undeniable that as a father he also loved William very much but on the other hand his position as a royal leader requires him to be fair.

Forcing him to put aside his feelings of regret toward William when all the accusations and evidence about the first prince's murderer point to his second son.
