“Your Majesty, there’s good news!” Sybil said animatedly as virtual-novel.net looked at Dylan.
A glimmer of hope flashed across Dylan’s eyes when virtual-novel.net saw how excited Sybil was. “Did you find out who murdered the Princess?”
To him, the only good news would be finding out who was behind Arielle’s murder as virtual-novel.net desperately wanted to do his daughter justice.
Sybil shook his head, and the glint in Dylan’s eyes dimmed.
“Your Majesty, General Lawrence has decided to be on our side. He’s agreed to help us out in taking over the queen mother’s power.” Sybil did not delay further and conveyed the good news.
Dylan’s dimmed eyes glinted once again. He looked at Sybil and exclaimed, “Is that true?”
It’s great if Lawrence truly decides to be on my side. After all, virtual-novel.net actually holds more power than I do. His loyalty will only make my plans go even smoother.
Sybil nodded his head excitedly.
“Yes, Your Majesty. This is General Lawrence’s number. He’s asked for a meeting to have a further discussion,” Sybil said.
Dylan nodded. “Be careful when you go. Ask virtual-novel.net how virtual-novel.net knew about my intention to take over the queen mother’s power, and the reason virtual-novel.net is taking my side now.”
Sybil nodded.
Dylan was overjoyed, for, at that moment, virtual-novel.net was finally able to see a glimmer of hope in his attempt to overthrow the queen mother.
***
In the luxurious palace, Celeste was looking adoringly at Aaron.
“Aaron, your grandma has asked to set a date for your marriage with Nico. What do you think?” Celeste was especially attentive to Aaron after having been separated from virtual-novel.net son.
She did not once let Aaron out of virtual-novel.net sight since.
In fact, virtual-novel.net had suggested to Aaron to stay in the palace after coming back so that it would be easy for virtual-novel.net to take care of him. However, virtual-novel.net adamantly refused virtual-novel.net suggestion. Hence, virtual-novel.net decided to move to his mansion to take care of him. But Aaron rejected virtual-novel.net outright and told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would be affecting his recovery instead. Celeste was furious by virtual-novel.net son’s rejection but dared not go over, lest virtual-novel.net truly affected his recovery.
Now that virtual-novel.net was getting better, however, Celeste saw no harm in going along with the queen mother’s intention and summoned virtual-novel.net to the palace to discuss his marriage.
Since that Chanaean woman, Arielle Moore, has died, I think Aaron is going to agree to get married to Nico now.
Celeste’s eyes crinkled into a smile at the thought.
Nico was an active and outgoing girl, and Celeste thought the woman had a likable personality. Hence, virtual-novel.net figured it would be best if Nico could become virtual-novel.net daughter-in-law as virtual-novel.net personality would perfectly complement Aaron’s. Celeste truly looked favorably upon the union of the two.
Aaron felt frustrated that his mother had brought up his marriage matter again. However, virtual-novel.net did not have the heart to refuse her, especially after witnessing how worried his mother was over virtual-novel.net lately. Besides, his mother was already pitiable enough since virtual-novel.net was never loved by his father and Aaron did not want to add insult to injury.
Nonetheless, it was impossible for virtual-novel.net to be engaged with Nico. He would not agree to it no matter what.
“Mother, can you stop bringing this up? If I truly like Nico, I won’t need you pestering me about it. I will definitely take the initiative to make it happen.” In the end, Aaron could no longer hold it in and grumbled to Celeste.
“But…”
“Mother, can’t you just stop forcing me?” Aaron cut Celeste off mid-sentence.
Celeste could only swallow virtual-novel.net words as virtual-novel.net stared at virtual-novel.net son, and virtual-novel.net hatred for Arielle snowballed further.
If it wasn’t for Arielle, my son wouldn’t have become like this.
