His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 1444

“Let them go, Mother,” Aaron said resignedly after tearing his gaze away from Arielle.

“Let them go?” the queen repeated as she slammed the table with a fist.

“Why would I do that? Leaving here unscathed after beating the crown prince, what next?”

Nobody, not even the king of the neighboring country, is allowed to lay a finger on my son except me.

“I was sparring with him, Mother,” Aaron explained as he met her eyes. “I threw in quite a bit of punches

myself, you know.”

Aware that his mother was only indignant on his behalf, he did not feel it prudent to incur Arielle’s wrath and risk the lives of everybody in the palace though he wanted more than anything to have the bodyguard locked up.

As the head of the Mill family. Arielle had committed the content of the medical manuscripts to memory before setting them on fire.

As he had heard of the potency of medicine and poison created following the manuscript's instructions, Aaron was certain that Arielle had mastered the formulae to a high enough degree for daring to make such a bold claim. In addition, he knew Arielle well enough to know that she did not make empty threats. If her bodyguard were to be locked up, the entire palace would succumb to her rage.

Aaron studied Arielle closely. Why was she willing to follow me to Turlen if she had such destructive powers at her fingertips?

For the first time, he began to harbor doubts regarding her purpose in coming to Turlen with him.

“I have already interrogated the bodyguards, Aaron,” the queen said with irritation at the sight of her son fawning over Arielle. “They insisted that it was completely one-sided..”

She's obviously done something to him to make him willingly defend her bodyguard. What does he see in her? Look at what she's turned him into! The crown prince lying to defend a common rat!
