Chapter 1442 He Is With Me
Dylan looked up at Sybil and was about to have him call Aaron when he decided to make the call himself on second
thought. If I have to even ask Sybil to carry out such a simple task on my behalf, how is it different from running
away from my own problems?
As he dialed Aaron’s number, Sybil left the study tactfully and waited outside.
Aaron had just had his bruises tended to when his phone rang. The bodyguard beside him immediately picked up
the phone and handed it to him. He glanced at the caller ID and answered the call immediately.
“Yes, Father?”
“Ms. Moore was taken to the palace by your mother’s orders,” Dylan said solemnly. “I’m entrusting you with her

Aaron became anxious upon hearing that Arielle had been taken away by his mother as he knew very well what she
was capable of. “Why would she do that?” he asked, panicking.
Could she be angry at Arielle because I rejected the marriage prospects she had lined up for me?
Aaron’s eyes darkened at that thought.
“She learned that Ms. Moore’s bodyguard beat you and had them taken away,” Dylan replied impatiently. “Enough
questions, Aaron. Save them from your mother’s wrath.”
“Yes, Father.” Aaron hung up and rushed to the palace.
Despite still feeling hurt at Arielle prioritizing her bodyguard over him, Aaron could not bear for her to suffer any
harm or grievance if he could help it.
Gloom accompanied him all the way to the palace. As soon as Aaron arrived outside the queen’s quarters, he
spotted Sybil, who was pacing with visible anxiety.
“Don’t worry, Sybil.” Aaron offered a reassuring smile before entering. “I’ll bring her back safely.”
Though he did not know why Sybil had not dared to meet Arielle until recently, Aaron felt obligated to be on
friendlier terms with Sybil to gain his support if he ever needed it to marry Arielle in the future.
After all, I can’t use my authority to force Arielle into marrying me.
Sybil frowned at Aaron’s departing silhouette. The way the prince had spoken to him gave him a funny feeling,
though he quickly dismissed it as Arielle’s safety consumed his thoughts once more. The king must be out of his
mind with worry.
Meanwhile, Miranda led Arielle and Vinson through the main hall of the queen’s quarters. Atop her throne at the
very end, the queen sat on a chair and surveyed Arielle and Vinson imperiously.

Her gaze darkened when she turned to Arielle. This must be the woman who has my son’s heart on a string.
Because of her, he has forsaken better and worthier girls.
Initially fuming over the impossibility of punishing her, the queen was delighted when Arielle volunteered to come
over herself. Since she showed up expecting me to show no mercy, I won’t be doing so.
“Put that one in jail,” she said to one of the guards as she pointed to Vinson.
Immediately, the guard in question stepped out smartly.
“I’d like to watch you try!” Arielle stepped out and met the queen’s haughty stare with her own.
You’ll be needing my permission to lay a finger on him!
“He is with me, Your Majesty. Nobody can touch him without my say-so, including you and your royal husband.”
Arielle’s nonchalant tone made the queen tremble in spite of herself. It was the first time she was met with a regal
presence that rivaled even her own.
