A Beauty with Multiple Masks novel Chapter 1441

Chapter 1441 Provocation

Undeterred by his authoritative voice as she outranked him in terms of power weld and was a favorite of the queen’s, Miranda merely sneered at Sybil down the length of her nose.

“So what if she is a distinguished guest invited by the king?” she asked with arrogant provocation. “The bodyguard under her employ beat the prince up. You know as well as I do that it is a crime to assault a member of the royal family.”

Only then did Sybil discover the true reason for Arielle’s summon.

“Be that as it may, Ms. Moore is Chanaean and an honored guest of the king’s. Turlenese laws and regulations have no jurisdiction over her.”

It is indeed a crime for a commoner to lay a finger on the prince. However, Ms. Moore is the eldest princess of Turlen. Isn’t it normal for an older sister to hit her younger brother?

Nevertheless, Sybil did not dare voice his thoughts out loud as it was not yet time to expose Arielle’s true identity.

Miranda raised an eyebrow. “Though she can’t be punished, her bodyguard is a citizen of ours who does happen to fall under our jurisdiction. We only intended to take him with us, but Ms. Moore insisted that she come along. That puts me in a tough spot, doesn’t it?”

“I was the one who ordered the bodyguard to strike, Sybil,” Arielle corroborated, aware that he must have been sent by Dylan. “If the queen is going to punish him for following orders, it’s only fair to hold me accountable too.”
