As the moonlight illuminated the room through the full-length windows, Arielle was bathed in warm kisses from virtual-novel.net lips down to virtual-novel.net neck. Even then, Vinson didn’t stop and continued downwards.

The next day, virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net eyes. “You’re awake?”
Vinson’s magnetic voice rang out from behind her. Having just woken up, there was a tinge of raspiness in his tone that stirred virtual-novel.net heart. After mumbling a response, Arielle turned aside lethargically, intending to sleep longer. However, virtual-novel.net eyes opened wide all of a sudden.
“Vinson!” virtual-novel.net barked softly.
There was no way virtual-novel.net could sleep with something hard poking into virtual-novel.net from behind. “Darling, we haven’t done it for quite a few days now.”
With that, virtual-novel.net got up and climbed on top of her. Arielle was stumped.
It was no more than just a few days ago! Besides, didn’t we just fool around till late last night? Isn’t that enough?
“But I still want…”
To sleep a little longer.
Before virtual-novel.net could finish, virtual-novel.net lips were sealed with a kiss, causing virtual-novel.net to swallow virtual-novel.net words.

Back in the palace, the queen mother’s secretary was giving virtual-novel.net a report. “Queen mother, His Majesty seems to be unusually active recently…”
The secretary had wanted to recruit more allies and claim credit for it. Unexpectedly, Dylan was one step ahead of him, foiling his attempt.
After hearing virtual-novel.net secretary’s report, a grim expression descended on the queen mother’s face as virtual-novel.net shot virtual-novel.net a piercing glare.
“Why are you only telling me this now?”
Obviously, the secretary wasn’t going to admit his mistake. He quickly added, “Recently, there are many among the populace clamoring for His Majesty to rule. As I was busy dealing with the problem, I ended up neglecting what virtual-novel.net was doing.”
Clamoring for Dylan to rule? Isn’t virtual-novel.net already ruling now?
The queen mother’s expression darkened. Even though Dylan was virtual-novel.net own son, virtual-novel.net still enjoyed the trappings of power. Therefore, virtual-novel.net wasn’t going to allow virtual-novel.net authority to be taken from virtual-novel.net without virtual-novel.net permission.
“What is virtual-novel.net up to now?” virtual-novel.net asked with a sullen expression.
“His Majesty has been visiting the General of the Right and the Earl frequently.”
There were two generals in Turlen, the General of the Right and the General of the Left. Both of them were in charge of Turlen’s army. As for the Earl, his position was inherited over the generations. Given that virtual-novel.net was someone influential, the fact that Dylan went to see virtual-novel.net wasn’t welcomed news at all.
The thoughts that crossed the secretary’s mind naturally didn’t escape the queen mother. With a darkened expression, virtual-novel.net didn’t expect Dylan to still harbor such ambitions. After all, virtual-novel.net had been ruling for more than twenty years. Even though virtual-novel.net had inherited the crown from his father, Dylan still had to seek virtual-novel.net consent for the majority of his decisions. Without it, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t be able to do anything at all.
Does virtual-novel.net finally plan to rebel after being suppressed for such a long time? In that case, let’s see what virtual-novel.net can do. I would like to know who dares to stand alongside virtual-novel.net to challenge me!
“Just let virtual-novel.net be. I’m interested to find out who intends to betray me!” Just as the queen mother spoke, the secretary nodded in acknowledgment.
Amidst the power struggle, subordinates such as them could only follow whoever was more powerful. After all, it was every man for himself.

Meanwhile, Dylan wasn’t aware that his mother was on to him. But even if virtual-novel.net was, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have cared.
Given that virtual-novel.net was the king, virtual-novel.net was responsible for the country anyway. As for his mother, virtual-novel.net was supposed to be enjoying virtual-novel.net retirement. However, since virtual-novel.net refused to relinquish power, both of them had no choice but to face each other in a showdown to settle the matter once and for all.
“Your Majesty, it seems that there’s no hope in getting the Earl to side with us.”
