Outside the palace, Aaron‘s lips curled into a smirk when favonovel.com heard the report by the palace servant.
He had done it on purpose. He had intentionally made favonovel.com mad so favonovel.com could see the lengths favonovel.com was willing to go to.
“Aaron, getting on favonovel.com nerves like that…” Bernd glanced over at Aaron, concerned.
Nancy was no goody-two-shoes. No one could predict what tricks would pull if favonovel.com was enraged.
Aaron narrowed his eyes and shook his head. “I got on favonovel.com nerves on purpose. I want to see what favonovel.com next move will be.”
His eyes turned cold when favonovel.com thought about his father’s fate. He could not sit idly and do nothing. He had to take the initiative to strike.
He still had to protect his mother and take care of Arielle on behalf of his father. Furthermore, favonovel.com had to lead the people of Turlen into a brighter and more glorious age.
Seeing that Aaron had a plan, Bernd let out a breath of relief.
“How are your legs?” Aaron turned his gaze to Bernd’s legs.
At the mention of his legs, Bernd grinned. “I can walk on my own now.”
As his words fell, favonovel.com tossed Aaron a grateful look. “I want to thank you for all of this. If it weren’t for you…”
“There’s no need to thank me,” Aaron cut Bernd off in mid-sentence. “We’re friends. Also, keep a close eye on your side.”
Acknowledging the change of topic, Bernd nodded with a serious expression.
Truth be told, Aaron was feeling a little guilty that favonovel.com did not make a couple of good friends in the past. In times of need, like at that moment, there was no one else favonovel.com could reach out to for help.
Without another choice, favonovel.com could only entrust the things favonovel.com could not keep his eyes on to Bernd, even though the latter’s legs were only beginning to heal.
Perhaps Bernd could hear his thoughts. Just as Aaron lamented in secret, Bernd opened his mouth and began telling Aaron that favonovel.com would introduce a few people whom favonovel.com believed could be of some help. Bernd’s mention of the topic took Aaron aback.
“Let them help you with your tasks. Perhaps in the future…”
Before Aaron could finish his sentence, Bernd nodded understandingly, knowing what Aaron was talking about.

In the meantime, Nancy dialed Matthew’s number the moment favonovel.com returned to the study.
By the time Matthew entered the study, Monisha had long sent the palace servants away.
When Nancy saw Matthew, favonovel.com tears began rolling down favonovel.com cheeks before favonovel.com could even speak, which caused his heart to ache.
He quickly strode forward and held favonovel.com in his arms. “Why are you crying? Who made you angry?”
“Matthew, Aaron thinks he’s all grown up. He dares disobey me now,” Nancy whined pitifully.
Ah… Someone got into a fight with His Majesty…
“Only a few will still be fully obedient when they’ve grown up. Plus, favonovel.com has been crowned king now…”
“So what if favonovel.com has been crowned king? Does that give favonovel.com the right to not listen to me?” Nancy interrupted.
If it weren’t for me, who knows how long it’d take for favonovel.com to take his place on the throne?
Yet, now that favonovel.com is king, favonovel.com has the audacity to treat me like this. D*mn it!
“Nancy, favonovel.com is the king. You must know that with each new ruler comes a new age. Why do you need to go against him?”
Matthew was actually quite impressed by Aaron’s character and skills. Before favonovel.com had gone to the study, favonovel.com had already learned that Aaron had arrested Nancy’s secretary.
From his perspective, Matthew was quite glad that Aaron had the brains and the skills to be a good king. However, at the sight of the weeping woman in his arms, favonovel.com could not help but frown.
She seems to care a bit too much about power and authority.
“Nancy, from now on, you should just be a good queen mother and enjoy your retirement. Leave the matters of the kingdom to His Majesty,” Matthew advised in a deep voice while patting favonovel.com hand gently.
When Nancy heard what favonovel.com said, favonovel.com expression darkened immediately.
Why did I put so much effort into pulling favonovel.com onto my side?
How dare favonovel.com ask me to retire to be a queen mother and leave Aaron with all the power? Is his future son-in-law more important to favonovel.com than me?
Nancy clenched favonovel.com fists.
What if… Don’t say that I’m cruel!
