Chapter 1577 Revenge
‘‘Your Majesty, there’s good news!’‘ Sybil said animatedly as he looked at Dylan.
A glimmer of hope flashed across Dylan’s eyes when he saw how excited Sybil was. ‘‘Did you find out who murdered the Princess?’‘
To him, the only good news would be finding out who was behind Arielle’s murder as he desperately wanted to do his daughter justice.
Sybil shook his head, and the glint in Dylan’s eyes dimmed.
‘‘Your Majesty, General Lawrence has decided to be on our side. He’s agreed to help us out in taking over the queen mother’s power.’‘ Sybil did not delay further and conveyed the good news.
Dylan’s dimmed eyes glinted once again.
He looked at Sybil and exclaimed, ‘‘Is that true?’‘
It’s great if Lawrence truly decides to be on my side. After all, he actually holds more power than I do. His loyalty will only make my plans go even smoother.
Sybil nodded his head excitedly.
‘‘Yes, Your Majesty. This is General Lawrence’s number. He’s asked for a meeting to have a further discussion,’‘ Sybil said.
Dylan nodded. ‘‘Be careful when you go. Ask him how he knew about my intention to take over the queen mother’s power, and the reason he is taking my side now.’‘
Sybil nodded.
Dylan was overjoyed, for, at that moment, he was finally able to see a glimmer of hope in his attempt to overthrow the queen mother.
In the luxurious palace, Celeste was looking adoringly at Aaron.
‘‘Aaron, your grandma has asked to set a date for your marriage with Nico. What do you think?’‘ Celeste was especially attentive to Aaron after having been separated from her son.
She did not once let Aaron out of her sight since.
In fact, she had suggested to Aaron to stay in the palace after coming back so that it would be easy for her to take care of him. However, he adamantly refused her suggestion. Hence, she decided to move to his mansion to take care of him. But Aaron rejected her outright and told her that she would be affecting his recovery instead. Celeste was furious by her son’s rejection but dared not go over, lest she truly affected his recovery.
Now that he was getting better, however, Celeste saw no harm in going along with the queen mother’s intention and summoned him to the palace to discuss his marriage.
Since that Chanaean woman, Arielle Moore, has died, I think Aaron is going to agree to get married to Nico now. Celeste’s eyes crinkled into a smile at the thought.
Nico was an active and outgoing girl, and Celeste thought the woman had a likable personality. Hence, she figured it would be best if Nico could become her daughter-in-law as her personality would perfectly complement Aaron’s. Celeste truly looked favorably upon the union of the two.
Aaron felt frustrated that his mother had brought up his marriage matter again. However, he did not have the heart to refuse her, especially after witnessing how worried his mother was over him lately. Besides, his mother was already pitiable enough since she was never loved by his father and Aaron did not want to add insult to injury.
Nonetheless, it was impossible for him to be engaged with Nico. He would not agree to it no matter what.
‘‘Mother, can you stop bringing this up? If I truly like Nico, I won’t need you pestering me about it. I will definitely take the initiative to make it happen.’‘ In the end, Aaron could no longer hold it in and grumbled to Celeste.
‘‘But—’‘
‘‘Mother, can’t you just stop forcing me?’‘ Aaron cut Celeste off mid-sentence.
Celeste could only swallow her words as she stared at her son, and her hatred for Arielle snowballed further. If it wasn’t for Arielle, my son wouldn’t have become like this.
