Chapter 1446 The Antidote
The queen stared at Arielle for a long moment. Then, she reluctantly said to Aaron, “Leave the antidote behind. You can bring them away.”
It was Aaron’s turn to look at Arielle, who declared coolly, “Don’t worry. As long as I leave the palace safely, your poison will be cured.”
The queen was vexed that her fate lay in someone else’s hands. Eventually, she waved for Aaron to lead Arielle’s group away.
Aaron tried to hold Arielle’s hand as they left, but she would not allow him to do so. She hastily dodged him and eyed Vinson meaningfully before leaving the room.
Vinson side-eyed Aaron before following Arielle out.
The queen realized then the extent of her son’s one-sided crush on Arielle. Exasperated, she advised, “Aaron, that woman doesn’t like you at all.” She looked at him and added, “Nico has a great personality. She’s beautiful, kind, and generous, and she’s a perfect candidate for your consort. Your grandmother and I like her very much. You’d better drop any feelings you have for that woman and spend some time with Nico. I’m sure you’ll fall in love with her eventually.”
“I’ll think about it,” Aaron replied dismissively before leaving to follow Arielle.
Meanwhile, Arielle and Vinson had just left the queen’s palace when they saw Sybil pacing anxiously outside. After some thought, Arielle walked toward him.
Sybil lifted his head then and spotted Arielle approaching him. He immediately broke into a smile. Before he could say a word, Arielle’s cold voice drifted over. “Tell His Majesty that I’m fine.”
Her instruction stunned Sybil. How does she know that I’m here under His Majesty’s orders?
He did not have much time to dwell over her knowledge, however, as he remembered how anxious Dylan was. Concerned that Arielle would immediately rush home, Sybil said, “Ms. Moore, His Majesty was extremely worried for you. Now that you’re fine, could you pay him a short visit?”
Aaron insisted, “I’ll go with you.”
He knew Arielle was upset because of his mother’s actions.
Arielle merely shook her head and refused. She had her reasons for meeting Dylan, and Aaron’s presence would only complicate her agenda.
She warned, “Aaron, if you don’t want me to hate you, please don’t appear in front of me for the time being.”
Aaron was heartbroken at that. He lowered his eyes and suppressed the crazed look that threatened to appear in his gaze. I can’t do anything that’ll scare her away.
“I suddenly remembered that I have some things to attend to, so I’ll get going. You can meet my father with Sybil. When you’re leaving the palace, have Sybil arrange for a chauffeur to send you home.” After a hasty farewell, Aaron turned and left without waiting for Arielle’s response.
