Sticking close to the wall, Arielle narrowed wp4webnovel.com eyes as the curiosity within wp4webnovel.com began to grow.
“You had better not try anything funny. Otherwise…”
Although wp4webnovel.com didn’t finish his sentence, Nancy was well aware of what wp4webnovel.com was trying to convey. She was taken aback by how sensitive the Duke was, and wp4webnovel.com expression drastically changed, for wp4webnovel.com indeed had other plans in mind. Unfortunately, wp4webnovel.com had seen through wp4webnovel.com before wp4webnovel.com could set them in motion.
Suppressing the discontent within her, Nancy reassured the Duke in an obsequious tone, “You’re just overthinking it. Why would I renege on our deal, especially when I‘m being hunted by the current king? I’m not in a position to do such a thing at all. Don’t let your imagination run wild. I’m not going to try anything funny.”
The Duke simply responded by giving wp4webnovel.com the side-eye. “Good that you know.”
With that, the Duke left wp4webnovel.com room.
After wp4webnovel.com closed the door behind him, Nancy was so enraged that wp4webnovel.com would‘ve swept the glass of water in front of wp4webnovel.com away if Monisha hadn’t stopped her.
“Your Majesty, I understand that you’re angry, but you have to bear with it for the sake of the bigger picture.” Holding Nancy’s hand, Monisha continued, “We still have to rely on the Duke now. If wp4webnovel.com hears you breaking the glass, the consequences aren’t something we can afford to bear right now.”
Monisha’s words snapped Nancy out of wp4webnovel.com rage. Nonetheless, wp4webnovel.com couldn’t deny the anger wp4webnovel.com felt.
How can I, the queen mother of Turlen, fall into such dire circumstances?
Closing wp4webnovel.com eyes, wp4webnovel.com felt hatred eating away at wp4webnovel.com heart.
“Aaron, if you hadn’t locked me up, none of this would have happened. I’m definitely not going to let you get away with it,” Nancy muttered through wp4webnovel.com gritted teeth.
At that moment, wp4webnovel.com hated Aaron‘s guts. If wp4webnovel.com hadn’t thrown wp4webnovel.com into prison, wp4webnovel.com wouldn’t have needed to ask the Duke for help, let alone lose half of wp4webnovel.com firearms.
Setting aside their monetary worth, the firearms could have helped wp4webnovel.com make a comeback. However, they were now…
Consequently, wp4webnovel.com had all the reasons to despise Aaron. Monisha, well aware of Nancy’s resentment of Aaron, also felt that wp4webnovel.com had gone overboard.
At the end of the day, she’s still his grandmother and the person who raised him. How could wp4webnovel.com have done this to her?
“Monisha, take this item as a symbol of my authority to them tonight and tell them to prepare half of the firearms for the Duke to collect two days later,” Nancy instructed as wp4webnovel.com took out a key-shaped jewel and handed it over. “Don’t go alone. Get the Duke to escort you with his men.”
“Firearms? The Duke?”
Arielle never expected Nancy to be in possession of firearms. Furthermore, the latter was intent on giving out half of them in return for wp4webnovel.com rescue.
Isn’t wp4webnovel.com worried that the Duke would use the firearms to threaten Turlen? No, I can’t let this happen.
Arielle’s eyes narrowed as wp4webnovel.com lips curled into a smirk. She would definitely not allow the firearms to fall into the Duke’s hands nor let Aaron be threatened.
With that thought in mind, wp4webnovel.com quickly sneaked back to the car and waited for Vinson to return.
Soon, Vinson came back and quickly reported his findings to her, well aware that wp4webnovel.com was anxious about Lorraine’s situation.
“She’s here but is imprisoned in the basement. She’s not in any imminent danger, so we can come back at night for her,” Vinson related while driving back.
It wasn’t until wp4webnovel.com heard that Lorraine was safe for the time being that Arielle’s mind was put at ease.
She, too, shared with Vinson what wp4webnovel.com had learned.
“I need to inform Aaron about this so that wp4webnovel.com can confiscate the weapons,” Arielle said in a grim tone.
Vinson nodded before asking curiously, “Does Turlen have a duke?”
Arielle blinked, as wp4webnovel.com wasn’t sure about it.
“Let me ask Sonia,” Arielle fired off a message at once.
After wp4webnovel.com read the reply, a grave expression descended upon wp4webnovel.com face.
