“I'm fine. The swelling will subside in two days.” Arielle reached for Vinson's hand reassuringly at the sight of his mutinous expression.
“You should lay down and get some rest.” Without another word, Vinson carried her to the bed and covered her with a quilt before tidying up the ward. Just as he was done, another knock came from the door of the ward, to his displeasure. Who is it at this time?
Walking over and opening the door, he was greeted by a woman in an off-white suit flanked by a dozen men in black suits standing at the door of the ward. All of them regarded him with hostility.
“Are you the bodyguard who injured Prince Aaron?” The woman who spoke was none other than the queen’s confidant, Miranda.
The queen had not seen Aaron for several days. When she heard that the queen mother had summoned him, she gave him a call. However, Aaron did not pick up, so the queen told Miranda to contact his bodyguard.
To their surprise, they found out that Arielle's bodyguard had beaten up Aaron. Furious at her son being treated like that by a peasant, the queen sent for Miranda to bring Vinson back to the palace at once to face her wrath.
Upon hearing Miranda interrogate Vinson, Arielle leaped off the bed, slipped on her shoes, and walked to the door to confront her. She pulled Vinson behind her as she stared defiantly at the group of servants, who did not regard her with any more kindness than they did Vinson.
“Who are you? Why are you here?” Arielle glared at the tall woman before her.
The servants could tell at a glance that she was the shot caller of the duo.
“I am a confidante of the queen's,” Miranda proclaimed regally. “We are here to bring this man, who has been accused of laying his hands on Prince Aaron, back to the palace.”
After letting her proclamation ring out impressively into the silence, Miranda studied Arielle impassively. No wonder the prince is obsessed with her. She really is a beautiful girl. Those eyes are to die for.
Prince Aaron!
