After the meeting, Nancy headed back to the palace. She could feel herself marinating in resentment when she thought about what happened earlier and hurled her glass on the ground furiously. Monisha, who seemed to have gotten used to that, instructed the servants to clean up the glass shards at once.
Meanwhile, she stepped forward and started massaging Nancy's shoulders.
“Your Majesty, there's no need for you to be so angry. This could be an opportunity instead. His Majesty is still young, impulsive and conceited.
Therefore, he must be quite eager to achieve something. Since that's the case, you should just let him do whatever he wants. If he fails, that would give you a perfect excuse to take back the reins. Don't you think?”
Initially, Nancy wasn't intending to hand the power over to Aaron. After all, she had been in charge for so long, and Dylan's passing was a perfect opportunity for her to take over his power. However, she did not expect that someone would suggest that she hand over the reins to Aaron after just a few days, that would defeat the purpose of her murdering her own son. However, Monisha had a point too. With that, Nancy decided to hand some tasks to Aaron and see what he was able to achieve.
While Celeste was still staying at her original wing in the palace, Aaron would have to move from Paelsford Manor to the grand hall where Dylan stayed previously as he had succeeded the throne.
However, Dylan's room had to be renovated before Aaron could move in. Hence, Aaron would continue to stay at Paelsford Manor during the renovation.
After he returned to Paelsford Manor,
he lit a cigarette and stood by the window. He recalled the day when he knew that he had been deceived by Nancy. He was so furious that he almost wanted to expose her true colors on the spot.
However, Dylan kept shaking his head at him. Aaron understood that his father wanted him to stay calm and lie low. That was the reason why he had been tolerating Nancy all those while.
