"Your majesty," Liam greeted with a slight bow of his head but maintaining a very cold countenance.

"Mr. Hale," the king said as he returned to the seat he stood up from and sat down.

"If anything goes wrong, I will be outside the door," Liam informed her assuringly.

"You don't have to be so serious Mr. Hale. What can a father do to hurt his daughter?" the king asked with a pained expression.

"You will never know," Liam said with little regard to the king. The domineering aura he had could make someone think he was actually the king and the king was the prime minister.

Rose did not feel comfortable with the silent battle going on between her father, the king and Liam, her husband. She glanced at Liam and moved her gaze to the door indicating that he was free to leave. 

Liam left quietly afterwards leaving the father and daughter duo together. Sitting comfortably, her father handed over a booklet to her.
