His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 1656

She had completely underestimated Aaron. Given that he had not confronted her since the news of him killing his father broke, Nancy had assumed that the boy had accepted reality and pledged his loyalty to her. She did not expect him to be waiting for her there. He had even gotten the politicians to be on his side.

When did he become so close to them?How could I not have realized that?

Her heart sank as thoughts ran through her mind. Have I helped a vicious ingrate?

Aaron shook his head in reply to the queen mother's question. When Nancy saw that, she thought that Aaron was not after power and felt slightly guilty for her wild guesses earlier on. She smiled and was about to say something when Aaron spoke first. “Grandma, I'm not after power, but I'm the king after all, right?”

When he saw the queen mother's expression darkening, a sense of excitement arose in him. However, he tried to suppress his feelings and put on a calm front while saying placidly, “As a king, if I don't possess power and control, how am I going to lead my country to prosperity and improve my citizens' lives?”

Taking a pause, he continued, “Grandma, I'm sure you don't wish to see me becoming a useless king who failed to do anything for his people, right?” After Aaron finished speaking, he fixed his gaze on Nancy.

Even though his initial plan was to lie low for a period of time before pitting himself against Nancy, he had decided to go with the flow since there was someone lending him a helping hand.

I have underestimated him instead!

Nancy looked at Aaron with a darkened expression and said, “I would like to hand over the reins to you, but you're too young and inexperienced. I'm worried that you wouldn't make good decisions for the country.”

“Your Majesty, even though His Majesty is still young, we will be guiding and supporting him. If there's something that he’s doing incorrectly, we would let him know at once,” Lawrence replied immediately.
