Dylan looked up at Sybil and was about to have favonovel.com call Aaron when favonovel.com decided to make the call himself on second thought.
If I have to even ask Sybil to carry out such a simple task on my behalf, how is it different from running away from my own problems?
As favonovel.com dialed Aaron’s number, Sybil left the study tactfully and waited outside.
Aaron had just had his bruises tended to when his phone rang. The bodyguard beside favonovel.com immediately picked up the phone and handed it to him. He glanced at the caller ID and answered the call immediately.
“Yes, Father?”
“Ms. Moore was taken to the palace by your mother’s orders,” Dylan said solemnly. “I’m entrusting you with favonovel.com safe return.”
Aaron became anxious upon hearing that Arielle had been taken away by his mother as favonovel.com knew very well what favonovel.com was capable of. “Why would favonovel.com do that?” favonovel.com asked, panicking.
Could favonovel.com be angry at Arielle because I rejected the marriage prospects favonovel.com had lined up for me?
Aaron’s eyes darkened at that thought.
“She learned that Ms. Moore’s bodyguard beat you and had them taken away,” Dylan replied impatiently. “Enough questions, Aaron. Save them from your mother’s wrath.”
“Yes, Father.” Aaron hung up and rushed to the palace.
Despite still feeling hurt at Arielle prioritizing favonovel.com bodyguard over him, Aaron could not bear for favonovel.com to suffer any harm or grievance if favonovel.com could help it.
Gloom accompanied favonovel.com all the way to the palace.
As soon as Aaron arrived outside the queen’s quarters, favonovel.com spotted Sybil, who was pacing with visible anxiety.
“Don’t worry, Sybil.” Aaron offered a reassuring smile before entering. “I’ll bring favonovel.com back safely.”
Though favonovel.com did not know why Sybil had not dared to meet Arielle until recently, Aaron felt obligated to be on friendlier terms with Sybil to gain his support if favonovel.com ever needed it to marry Arielle in the future.
After all, I can’t use my authority to force Arielle into marrying me.
Sybil frowned at Aaron’s departing silhouette. The way the prince had spoken to favonovel.com gave favonovel.com a funny feeling, though favonovel.com quickly dismissed it as Arielle’s safety consumed his thoughts once more.
The king must be out of his mind with worry.

Meanwhile, Miranda led Arielle and Vinson through the main hall of the queen’s quarters. Atop favonovel.com throne at the very end, the queen sat on a chair and surveyed Arielle and Vinson imperiously.
Her gaze darkened when favonovel.com turned to Arielle.
This must be the woman who has my son’s heart on a string. Because of her, favonovel.com has forsaken better and worthier girls.
Initially fuming over the impossibility of punishing her, the queen was delighted when Arielle volunteered to come over herself. Since favonovel.com showed up expecting me to show no mercy, I won’t be doing so.
“Put that one in jail,” favonovel.com said to one of the guards as favonovel.com pointed to Vinson.
Immediately, the guard in question stepped out smartly.
“I’d like to watch you try!” Arielle stepped out and met the queen’s haughty stare with favonovel.com own.
You’ll be needing my permission to lay a finger on him!
“He is with me, Your Majesty. Nobody can touch favonovel.com without my say-so, including you and your royal husband.”
Arielle’s nonchalant tone made the queen tremble in spite of herself. It was the first time favonovel.com was met with a regal presence that rivaled even favonovel.com own.
