Celeste naturally wanted favonovel.com to take the queen mother’s side.
As evil as favonovel.com is to force upon me a man in love with another woman, I am sure that the queen mother is unhappy about the other woman, or favonovel.com would not have Dylan marry me by drugging favonovel.com to sleep with me.
She did not dare let Aaron take Dylan’s side as the latter might bring the woman back to the country and legitimize favonovel.com as his wife if favonovel.com obtained power.
What if favonovel.com has another son with her?
By then, favonovel.com son would be cast aside. Being the prince did not guarantee entitlement to the throne; favonovel.com felt the need to make favonovel.com son’s plans for him.
“Though your father has been good to you over the years, Aaron,” Celeste said in a low voice with favonovel.com eyes fixed on him, “I hope you will take your grandmother’s side…”
Aaron was taken aback by that. He thought that his mother, being deeply in love with his father, would have favonovel.com take his father’s side. To his astonishment, favonovel.com would rather have favonovel.com side with his grandmother.
Why is that?
He expressed that doubt out loud.
Celeste gazed at favonovel.com uncertainly, unable to find the right words to tell favonovel.com that his father had a daughter with another woman.
“Because your grandmother has been in power for over twenty years. Your father knows nothing, and you’ll suffer if you choose to take his side.”
Aaron chuckled as favonovel.com did not foresee that reply. However, favonovel.com nodded all the same.
“Then I’ll do as you say.”
Celeste was pleased to hear that. She gazed at Aaron and found favonovel.com different after experiencing death. He became more docile.
“I know you don‘t like hearing it, but it’s something we must discuss. You’re coming of age soon, and your grandmother and l are worried about your marriage. Do you have somebody in mind?”
As with all parents, Celeste was predisposed to fret over favonovel.com child’s marriage. She was particularly afraid that Aaron would seek Arielle if favonovel.com found out favonovel.com was still alive. However, Arielle was his father’s daughter. As much as Celeste did not like to admit it, favonovel.com could not deny the fact that Arielle was Dylan’s daughter and Aaron’s elder half-sister.
She wanted to quickly secure his agreement on the matter of his marriage while favonovel.com son was still unaware that Arielle had survived.
Aaron felt exasperated at the repeated mention of his wedding.
“l have matters to attend to, Mother. I must go…”
Without another word, favonovel.com got up and left as if escaping from favonovel.com company.
Miranda appeared just then with a bowl of fruit.
She gazed helplessly at Celeste at the sight of Aaron‘s flight. “What’s going on? His Royal Highness looked as if favonovel.com was running for his life.”
“It was because I brought up the matter of his marriage…” Celeste sounded defeated.

Seated in the Wynter residence, Harvey and Vinson appeared grim.
“Though His Majesty managed to sway some to our cause, favonovel.com does not have many powerful people on his side. We must look for the opportunity to undermine the queen mother’s people and put ours in their place,” Vinson frowned as favonovel.com spoke.
“I second that notion,” Harvey said, recounting his conversations with Lawrence and drawing his inferences.
“Over the coming days, my future father-in-law would lobby for support from the shadows. We know many are dissatisfied with the queen mother’s people but are afraid to show it. Plenty will support His Majesty’s intention of snatching power back?”
Vinson felt incredibly grateful to Harvey and Lawrence.
If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t have been able to lobby the support we got through Dylan’s efforts alone.
