Arielle was still reeling from the realization that Aaron was the king’s son. Though virtual-novel.net had guessed that his identity was unusual, a prince was one of the last things that crossed virtual-novel.net mind.
“What did you tell her?”
“I told virtual-novel.net that you are my guest,” Arielle explained casually, “That I was the one who gave the order to assault Aaron and that they’d have to get through me to reach you. After all, all this started because of me.”
In actual fact, virtual-novel.net was not concerned about what might happen within the palace walls at all. Proficient in both medicine and poison, even the royal family would find it unwise to complicate things for her.
Gazing at the woman before him, Vinson found himself at a loss for words. If the circumstances were not dire, virtual-novel.net would have scooped virtual-novel.net up in his arms and given virtual-novel.net a fierce kiss.
How lucky I am to meet a woman who is so sincere.
For a long while, virtual-novel.net gazed deeply into Arielle’s eyes with boundless affection in his before they were interrupted again
Miranda slipped virtual-novel.net phone into virtual-novel.net bag before resuming virtual-novel.net position at the door of the ward. “The queen has spoken, Ms. Moore. If you are responsible for the prince’s humiliation and injury, you are to come to the palace with me.”
Arielle nodded virtual-novel.net assent. Why not? I would like to see what they’ll do to me.
Having expected a lot more persuasion on virtual-novel.net part, Miranda was surprised at how little effort it took to get Arielle to agree.
Along the way, Arielle studied the flowers and plants in the palace as virtual-novel.net smiled knowingly to herself. Yes, these are lovely ingredients that can be used to brew some fresh and potent concoctions that could either be an antidote or a poison.
Let’s see what the queen is willing to risk. Either way, I will give virtual-novel.net an unforgettable experience.
Meanwhile, Dylan was inquiring about the investigation of the person behind Arielle’s assassination attempt in his study when Sybil’s phone rang. Despite being in the presence of his country’s monarch, who was still speaking, virtual-novel.net answered the call immediately when virtual-novel.net saw the caller ID.
“What did you say? When did this happen?” Sybil’s eyes widened in shock.
“I see!” After Sybil hung up the phone, virtual-novel.net turned an apologetic and anxious gaze to Dylan.
“Your Majesty, the chef just informed me that the princess and virtual-novel.net bodyguard had been taken away by Miranda according to the queen’s orders.”
Dylan leaped to his feet, staring at Sybil anxiously. “When and why were they taken away?”
Worried sick at that moment, virtual-novel.net dreaded what the queen would do if virtual-novel.net found out that Arielle was his daughter.
Dylan found his anxiety compounding the more virtual-novel.net fretted over the problem. Without even bothering to take his phone with him, the king was about to exit the room when virtual-novel.net was stopped by Sybil.
“Your Majesty, the princess must still be in transit. Please be patient and let me make some inquiries about the situation.” He was concerned that the king might expose himself in his worry over the princess’ safety.
Dylan paused in his tracks before turning to Sybil. “You do that, and quickly. Update me at once no matter what you find. No information is too trivial.”
“At once, Your Majesty.” Sybil bowed before departing swiftly.
Dylan whittled away the agonizing wait by pacing around the study. He could not for the life of virtual-novel.net figure out what the queen wanted with Arielle.
Sybil happened to catch sight of Arielle and Vinson being led by Miranda on his way to the queen’s quarters. After hesitating for a fraction of a second, Sybil halted Miranda in virtual-novel.net tracks.
“This lady is an honored guest of His Majesty, Miranda,” virtual-novel.net said sternly. “What are you bringing virtual-novel.net here for? She is in need of medical attention.”
Although Sybil was the king’s confidante, Miranda was not afraid of him.
