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 dered coolly, “Don’t worry. As long as I leave the pce
safely, your poison will be cured.”
The queen was vexed that her fatey 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 pce 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
Dn 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?”
Throughout this time, Dn had been concerned over the princess’ injuries. He remained worried
despite sending a chef to prepare her daily meals, and he longed to leave the pce to visit her.
Unfortunately, Sybil prevented him from doing so. However, now was the perfect opportunity to arrange
for the princess to visit Dn instead.
Arielle had nned to sound out Dn anyway, so she promptly agreed to Sybil’s suggestion.
She said, “You can lead the way. I’ve been meaning to thank His Majesty for his care.”
Sybil smiled and walked ahead. Vinson and Arielle exchanged a nce before following behind him.
Aaron, who had just exited the queen’s pce, saw the three of them together and was stunned by
how much they looked like a family. He shook his head to clear his mind of those thoughts. Instead, he
directed a menacing re in Vinson’s direction. A family? Hmph! Even if there’s a family here to speak
of, it should be Arielle and me! Someone as lowly as a bodyguard doesn’t deserve to be with her!
“Ari!” he shouted to catch her attention.
“I’m going to meet His Majesty. You can head back if you’re busy,” Arielle replied coldly. She did not
wish to be involved with him further.
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 Dn, and Aaron’s
presence would onlyplicate 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 pce, have Sybil arrange for a chauffeur to send you home.” After
a hasty farewell, Aaron turned and left without waiting for Arielle’s response.
