However, wp4webnovel.com insecurity was fleeting.
This is the first time anybody has dared speak to me like this. How presumptuous!
The queen was about to explode with fury as wp4webnovel.com pointed a shaking finger at Arielle. “You arrogant little b*tch. Who do you think you are to speak to me like that?”
Arielle sneered at the sight of the queen’s austere features that contorted from wp4webnovel.com anger. “Is my gruff manner of speaking too much for your delicate palate? Let me return to Chanaea, then. I don’t care much for your country.”
Her impertinence took the queen’s breath away.
“What are you still standing there for?” the queen shrieked at wp4webnovel.com men. “Take wp4webnovel.com away!”
The guards started at once for Vinson, who caught Arielle’s eye and nodded grimly as an unspoken understanding passed between them. Just as the guards were about to lunge, Aaron burst through the doors.
“Stop!” wp4webnovel.com roared. The guards froze at the sound of his voice.
Aaron glanced at Arielle before walking to the queen’s side. “Mother,” wp4webnovel.com asked sullenly, “what are you trying to do?”
“This peasant dared raise a finger against you,” the queen snapped at wp4webnovel.com son for his gallantry. “As a punishment befitting the crime under our laws, I’m having wp4webnovel.com arrested and put in jail.”
Aaron agreed with his mother. “It’s indeed a crime to beat the prince in his own country, Ari,” wp4webnovel.com said as wp4webnovel.com turned to look at Arielle. “Nobody in Turlen is above the law.”
In truth, Aaron had an ulterior motive. Having intensely disliked the bodyguard from the moment wp4webnovel.com saw him, Aaron had planned to replace wp4webnovel.com just so that wp4webnovel.com could not remain by Arielle’s side.
Arielle saw through his charade at once.
“I’m not saying that wp4webnovel.com has immunity,” Arielle began tentatively.
Aaron’s eyes lit up. Is wp4webnovel.com going to obey the laws of Turlen and comply?
Before wp4webnovel.com could celebrate, wp4webnovel.com condition plummeted his hopes. “I’ll accompany wp4webnovel.com throughout his imprisonment, and I will only come out upon his release.”
Instantly, his heart sank. Aaron suppressed the aching pain in his heart with great difficulty as his eyes fell on Arielle.
Why is this bodyguard so important to her? Is it worth keeping wp4webnovel.com company even at the cost of going to jail? Who is he?
As if wp4webnovel.com had known it all along, a name appeared in his mind.
Aaron’s vicious gaze became fixed on Vinson at that thought, but wp4webnovel.com quickly became certain that Vinson was clearly not the person wp4webnovel.com had in mind.
“Ari, you are putting me in a tight spot here,” Aaron said with a scowl.
She knows that I would never have the heart to put wp4webnovel.com in jail. She’s saying these things just to hurt me further.
“It feels as though you are putting the screws on me instead. You want your mother to put wp4webnovel.com in jail despite knowing that wp4webnovel.com acted on my orders. If you are dissatisfied with my presence, you can send me back to Chanaea. I’ve had enough of Turlen.”
Arielle took a small pause before continuing, “If you’re going to arrest wp4webnovel.com by force, I promise you that not a single one of you will leave this palace alive. Don’t test me.”
If it were not due to the fact that wp4webnovel.com was looking for wp4webnovel.com biological father, Arielle would have attacked Aaron back when wp4webnovel.com kidnapped wp4webnovel.com adoptive parents in Lightspring.
Disregarding most of what Arielle said, the only part that had caused a stab-like pain in his heart was wp4webnovel.com disdain for remaining in Turlen.
Has nothing in Turlen captured wp4webnovel.com heart at all?
