“It's not her?” Aaron frowned as he walked toward her. “Then where did this corpse come from?”
“I believe the queen mother has been rescued. This body here is merely used as a masquerade,” Arielle shared her suspicion boldly.
The infuriated Aaron clenched his fists. I've underestimated the queen mother. I can't believe someone would come to her rescue in the nick of time and even switch her body'. If it weren't for Arielle, I'd have mistaken this unknown person for the queen mother.
His brows snapped together at that thought. Who took her away? Could it be General Matthew? No, that's impossible! I doubt he would do such a thing. If it wasn't him, then who?
Immediately, he called for Carlos and Lawrence to update them about the queen mother's escape and issued a code red alert in the city. “Search every nook and cranny thoroughly. Do not let go of any suspicious person!” Aaron instructed.
When the duo were about to leave, Arielle stopped them.
“Take special notice in hospitals and pharmacies. Henceforth, send more people to guard all the hospitals and clinics. Make sure that you personally check on each and every visitor to these healthcare centers, be it a patient consulting a doctor or someone purchasing medicine to treat a burn. If there's anyone who doesn't take this verification process seriously, that will be the end of him.” Arielle was resolute, leaving no room for discussion.
The two then gazed at Aaron, their king, seemingly waiting for a confirmation.
“Why are you staring at me? From now on, whatever Ms. Moore says, goes,” Aaron announced.
Carlos and Lawrence were very surprised to learn that Arielle meant so much to Aaron, to the extent that her words carried as much weight as the king’s. They nodded and left obediently.
Since the body did not belong to the queen mother, Aaron ordered his men to simply bury it somewhere.
